   AMAZING drinks. I was pleasantly surprised. I love how intimate this place is- the lighting is perfect for an evening get to together or date night. We tried four different drinks between the two of us and each one was great. I'll definitely be back.

   The food was terrific, the service even better, and Tom Petty playing on the actual record player turntable outstanding! We will return often!

   The music was great...just too loud. We had an early dinner reservation and had difficulty talking to each other. We enjoyed the music, but it was loud for the early dinner crowd. The steak frites was very tasty. The Buttermilk Tots were dense, but also tasty especially with the sweet & spicy dip. The Berkshire pork chop was good, if fatty, but the mini salad was comical...emphasis on "mini". There were no sides with the chop...for $30. They have a lot of craft cocktails and a selection of beers. The service was good and friendly. I will go back to try the burger, maybe on my own when I don't need to hear what anyone is saying. :-)

   Hi SueAnn, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are so happy you joined us for dinner here at Bside! We are known for our turn table and noise level. We like to keep the energy high! I apologize if it was over the top for you and your guest. Our butcher cuts are not featured with a side; the greens are more of a garnish. I apologize for the confusion. We do hope you come back in and try our Smashburger, it will not disappoint! Best Regards Lauren Brown General Manager

   As with many restaurants post-pandemic, the food menu is a bit limited. If you are a meat lover, you are in the right place...every option contains some sort of meat. The noise level was quite high, so don't go here looking for a quiet, romantic dinner. The night we ate there, they were out of the steak my partner was very interested in, but we didn't find out until after we placed our orders. The cocktail menu is interesting, and the bar is impressive to view.

   Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. I apologize for the limited availability on the night of your visit. I hope you and your partner enjoyed your meals and choose to dine with us again soon! Our menu selections do rotate and change almost daily. I also, apologize for the lack of communication from your server about the item availability. Please let me know next time you stop in, my email is lbrown@redapronbutchery.

    The quality of the food and service is not as good as before the pandemic. This could be because they are short staffed so I would be willing to come back after a few months to give them another chance.

    Hi Kim! Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. Even though Bside has had some staffing issues, it's no excuse for your dining experience with us recently. I apologize and hope you do visit us again soon so we can show you what we are truly about. Please let me know when you come to see us again.

    Reserved a table for 8 for a 50th birthday celebration because I had heard good things about B Side. We were seated outside when I neither requested an outdoor table nor was told it was a possibility we would be seated outside, so no one dressed for that. When we asked to turn on the heater, we were told they were empty and wouldn’t be refilled until next week. We decided to tough it out since it was in the 50s, but all of us were frozen by the end. The waitress rushed us into ordering, and then the food and drink took forever to come. She got the drinks wrong. People who asked for medium steaks got well-done. I understand the restaurant industry is still in a staffing crisis, so we try our best to give grace. But they knew ahead of time that this was a special celebration, and it ended up far under par. As the organizer, it was embarrassingly awful. We are all locals, and none of will be back to BSide.

    The smash burger and fries were both awesome and the chicken fried cauliflower was unique kind of like cauliflower chicken wings without the chicken. The crisp beer selection was very refreshing. My husband had a rib eye which was prepared well - his only complaint was that it was monolithic and he would have appreciated an option for horseradish or mushrooms to go with it.

    Service was slow (arrived 2 hours before movie and was still late to it). Requested drinks that never came (thankfully wasn’t charged either). Food was either overcooked or under seasoned. All in all not my favorite at Mosaic.

    Wanted to try something different for restaurant week with friends. Comforted in the fact that they required vaccination proof ( although it was never asked for upon arrival), we were excited to eat out. Unfortunately, going on the last night of the weekend meant they were out of one of the main things we were looking forward to. No Strip steak…or, Makers Mark, or cheesecake cigars… disappointing. The food we DID have was very good and the charcuterie board was Awesome!

    We met for a glass of wine and sat outdoors. Wait staff lighted the heaters. A little cool outside but perfect with heaters and we could talk comfortably. It was loud and more crowded inside on a Sunday at 2.

    Wanted to like this place. Food was decent, but not outstanding. However I can’t remember the last time I had service that was so pretentious. Server just couldn’t be bothered with our questions or refills or much else apparently. I considered whether this was just a “bad day” and, being seated near their version of the hostess stand, I decided it was not as the interactions by various patrons from staff seemed same. It’s a bar/restaurant for goodness sake. You either want business or you don’t and if you can’t be bothered by folks, then your fate will be decided soon. I’m paying for a good meal and good service and hopefully decent ambiance. Not just some hipster version of cool ambiance and everything else is pretend.

    If you are planning on going here for a late, peaceful, and romantic dinner (8:00 p.m. - close), then don't. To be clear from the outset, it should be noted that my surprise at NOT finding a place like that which I just described is mostly due to my own fault for not doing enough research on what I was getting into (😅), as I was planning on having a particular sort of date; but if you're expecting to find a place to talk quietly and enjoy the DELICIOUS food (it's pretty mind-blowing (get the "cola braised bacon" appetizer)), don't go here. B-Side after 8:00 is very much a place to drink (allow me to repeat this: DRINK), embrace the more blithe side of one's spirit, sound off proudly, and indulge, all the while nibbling on seriously high-quality food. I don't want to give the impression that B-Side is a seedy place or anything-- it's not. High quality establishment, just not what I was expecting. Thanks for a great meal!

    This place just ain't the same, anymore. Completely dif menu and the new food available isn't as good as it used to be. Also, they took off their half chicken, which was their most popular item. Unsure as to why. Lastly, they're not even playing records on the turntable anymore. Which was one of its biggest allures. Used to spend a lot of time here. Was my fave bar. But the changes has made it less of a desire for me to spend anytime there. Still great for a pop in to meet friends for a drink or three, though.
