The bag boy from upfront met me as I made my order at the meat counter, telling me I needed to leave because trucks weren't allowed in their parking lot. The sign says no truck parking, as a truck driver that means no overnight parking. What it means at Eastside is we don't want businesses from truckers. We will ask them to leave while they are shopping with no exceptions. I felt the need to call back and tell the manager/owner/boss why I was disappointed that I was forced to leave before I spent my money. He proceeded to cut me off when I started to explain telling me that he had been in business 35 years and the loss of truck drivers will not break his bank. I was hoping to build a long-term relationship with a locally own business by voting with my dollars. My dollars will now be saved and spent elsewhere.

Went for dinner on 2/13 thinking we would not have the rush for Valentines Day. That plan was good…read more We made a reservation but when we arrived the bar had open seats so we sat there. I ordered the White Fish dish and my wife had Tortellini with vodka sauce with added sausage crumbles. Both dishes were incredible and I'd strongly recommend. Now for the downside and the reason for only rating 4 stars. Prior to dinner we split a Zsa Zsa Salad. The menu describes this as having poached shrimp, asparagus bits, bacon, avocado, tomato with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. For some reason the shrimp decided to leave the plate before we got it. Without the shrimp, the salad was boring and pretty much flavorless. We would have liked it better had they used Romaine rather then the foliage we all used to discard before serving. We asked the Bartender about the missing shrimp and she put in an order for a side of shrimp. The side arrived after we had pretty much finished with the salad. Not complaining because we ate the shrimp as it was the best part. The surprise came when we received the bill which contained the $19.00 charge for the salad as well as a $10.00 charge for the side of shrimp. I pointed that out and it was promptly removed. In summary, I'd suggest a hard pass on this menu item. Not to leave this review on a sour note, we love Cafe Farina and as previously mentioned the entrees were both fantastic. As a side note, we tried their privately labeled Farina Valpolicella Red. Moderately priced and well worth it's $56.00 price. We will order that again.
