Good food and service but was told when I walked in that I couldn't have a bigger table when it wasn't that busy. And then another couple came in and were seated at a big table. Not very fair.
Very nice service from waitresses who really seem to care. However the menu was rather narrow in options and not very straight forward. I order the pancakes and was shocked to find out they were really flat circular lemon cakes, which is fine if it said this on the menu as I would have ordered something else. Atmosphere was friendly and ascetically pleasing which helped drown out the problems with the pancakes, menu, and the rough bacon I couldn't bring myself to finish. Would recommend if you pass by but would not go out of your way.
First off, I love The Other Side Deli! However, this offshoot was not to my flavor/food option liking. My fault is that I expected deli sandwiches like at the deli but with beer a nicer place to eat. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. All else was wonderful. So yes, bagels and sandwiches, but there was more of a Greek thread to all the offerings and offerings were quite limited. I prefer limited offerings done well, just not this style. And, as I mentioned, I wanted a great deli sandwich like I coulda got at the deli! The people were awesome, too
Open just over a month this place is a hidden gem! Small menu done right. American classics with some Greek flair. Great coffee, brewed strong. Couple good local beers on tap. Convenient parking and accessibility. Definitely worth a visit - we will be back!
