Eastside Eat + Drink

Came in to take advantage of the happy hour menu. Service was good. Spent more than we had expected (2 people, 2 drinks each, 3 items total from the food menu = $100) Not impressed with the food. The fried chicken was too sweet and messy. Served bone in and in a bowl. To messy to eat with hands, nearly impossible with a fork and knife. Our shared spinach salad was under seasoned and over dressed. We poured off much of the super oily dressing and requested salt to make it more palatable. His double burger was apparently "fine" but not anything we couldn't do better at home.

It's a really big, spacious restaurant with excellent service and above average food. The bread and butter itself is a bit of a highlight, and same with the smoked cabbage salad. The lobster and fries is also great, and perfect to share. It's crowded on a Saturday night, but one can definitely get a table.
Price-wise, there's a nice range and 2 of us are really well for ~70.

Great food and delicious cocktails

This place is definitely my new favorite. The service is the best of the best and the food matches. I have only dined at the bar, but have more than enjoyed my experience. The lobster and fries, wedge salad, cauliflower and lemon tart are all delicious and this chef definitely knows what she is doing. I have enjoyed brunch, dinner and happy hour... even on the weekend. My only confusion is why this place isn’t packed every day of the week, because it sure is an underrated hidden gem. I certainly enjoy not having to wait for a seat, but I surely wouldn’t mind it either because the whole experience would be worth it. I highly recommend.

Eastside did nothing but impress me. Great service, good food and an awesome dining area. We visited for brunch and had most of the menu. The Dutch Baby was hands down my favorite. The carbonara, short rib and biscuits & gravy were also a table favorite. I'd recommend stopping in and trying it for yourself.
