Reviews For Southside Bistro

This place has a really nice atmosphere. One side is bar seating and the other side is the restaurant. The staff was great, friendly and very knowledgeable. The wine list was phenomenal!!! I believe they only serve beer and wine. I'm sure they would be fine bringing kids. I highly recommend that they're very well behaved kids. Everyone there that night were just small intimate parties of two to three people. I could definitely hear the bar side but I feel like it just helped the atmosphere. It was a very pleasant experience. We ordered appetizers entrees and desserts. I also ordered the Chevre salad. The lamb was great and the duck was amazing. I like that you can see the cooks and the chef preparing the dishes. We ordered quite a few desserts which you can see in the pics! There was just two of us... But I'll splurge on a good dessert!! And every dessert we had was absolutely wonderful!!

We tried this spot for the first time on a date night. We were seated a little early for our 5pm reservation, in a nice booth on the bar side. Our server, Gina, was so wonderful and helpful in accommodating my need for soft foods due to poorly-timed dental work. She even requested the kitchen to “over cook” my pasta. Our meals were flavorful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and all the staff were quite friendly. We will definitely be back again!

The wait was worth every morsel! My Honey had enjoyed a meal here last summer and couldn’t stop raving about the oysters and steak. Anticipation has been building for months and Southside Bistro delivered good on his hype. We made it a point to make this our first stop off on our Anniversary trip and it was nothing short of perfect. The environment is suitable for any grouping. A mother enjoyed a meal with her younger child, gal pals were catching up at the bar over wine, groups were celebrating birthdays, and we were on a date. Staff is everything staff should be; effortlessly. The food was incredible — I ordered the salmon (and I’m a commercial salmon fisherman; so very picky on it being cooked correctly) and he ordered the bison bourguignon. The food could have stood alone to earn SB 5 stars, but as part of the overall ambience and experience — I truly wish I could give a perfect 10.

Exquisite. Had an appetizer and 1 dessert item, both had incredible smell and flavor. Photos speak for themselves ! Sat at the bar and noticed all the Servers had good attitudes towards one another even when one was starting to worry about an order. This is a fine dining experience with an open kitchen view to the right and a wine bar with additional seating to the left. Come here for those classy one on one dates or just a good savory bite to eat after a long day.

I took my family here to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was our first time and we were very impressed. First, the service was friendly and professional. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Second, the food was amazing. From the appetizers to the desserts every dish was visually appealing but more importantly tasted better than we expected. This restaurant walks the fine line between Alaska casual and Fine Dining and does it well.

One of the best meals i have had hands down in the Us. Service was great. Cesar salad was unreal. But on top of it all the Pappardelle pork ragu.
