Sidecar is one of our favorite date spots, lunch or dinner. We are especially fond of many of the…read moremasters of mixology behind the bar who we knew from other establishments like Fluid. We can always know that if we are consistently looking for a good cocktail, I mean a real drink, not just some rum and coke, that Sidecar won't disappoint. I would always recommend whatever the drink of the week is and asking anyone behind the bar what they would recommend or if they are mixing up some new concoction you could try! I will say they are reasonably priced and it's a very low key atmosphere with high tops and their bar. It's a great spot!

It was good. Uneventful and could've used another piece of prosciutto. Cozy, dark wood bar. Old-school look, which is nice.

The team is incredibly attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere is small and intimate. Its not too loud, so it makes it a perfect for actually enjoying conversation. I also love that they have a rotating menu, so there's always something new to try. If you're in the mood for something specific, they're more than happy to make a custom drink if you just ask. It's such a special little gem.

Tonight we got the onion crusted salmon which was so fresh and delicious and flavorful. These were paired with the red skin mashed potatoes with Boursin and were so yummy. For drinks I tried the Alma Roja and the cinnamon infused Cointreau was a really nice touch. Overall the service was great and I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Non-Alcoholic Drink that is must try was the Hibiscus Gimlet it's a House-made hibiscus tea, pomegranate, fresh lime & demerara Entrees: Top Steak pick--Chimichurri 8 OZ butcher's steak with broccoli & herb roasted potatoes. Topped with house-made chimichurri of parsely, cilantro, oregano, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil & vinegar. It was juicy, tender and savory. I recommend ordering it at medium temp. Burger lovers pick-Messi Argentinian chorizo, aged provolone, chimichurri, & fried onions with a fried egg with French fries. Perfect at medium rare temp.

Baby J's is such a great Vibe, especially when they have the Live Jazz music. But just so you are…read moreaware before you go they do have a cover at the door for live music. It was only $7 which is very reasonable, but I think it changes with whoever is playing. The Décor and the style of this place is really classy and makes you feel like you're not in college town. One thing that i feel could be better is some of the quality of the drinks. We did have the espresso martini which was perfect. But we also ordered a long island and the bubblegum mocktail. Both were nothing special. The bubblegum one tasted like thick cough syrup that I couldn't even finish it. Overall, this place is great and we definitely will be back to see another show.

Place was clean, food was OK, yes just OK and wasn't even close to being served all together. The third plate was served after we finished all the other dishes. As I said, the bartenders were working hard but the overall service was terrible. No silverware was given, no drink refills were offered, no follow up on the missing food. Service just sucked! Especially for the prices ! Too many options to go back and have another bad experience. Today's busyness is not a surprise as I go through this every year, yet we're unable to take care of their guests.

Drinks were included with the event, and I ordered a Tito's with club soda and lime, but something was off. Not sure what they mixed in, but it tasted unusually sweet, almost like it had added sugar or syrup--which was unexpected for such a simple cocktail. On the plus side, we tried the chips and guacamole, and they were really good--fresh, flavorful, and a great snack to share. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a social, energetic atmosphere, but the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me. Might give it another try for the food or a different cocktail.
