    Very decent. Loved decor and the hip hop theme. Be sure to check out the resin bar with all the fun things trapped inside. Our waitress was friendly and helpful as was the host who seated us. We got a bottle of wine so I can speak for the drinks, but the food was just okay. Everything came out hot and fresh but every dish was majorly over salted. This would be a fun place to come back to with a larger group for drinks and maybe apps.

    Not safe for women. I came here for new years paid $300 for a private table and was assulted twice by a patron who couldn't hold his liquor. The patron was upset I brushed him with my hair while dancing (so yeah crazy guy) . The first time he tried to harm me I notified security and the guard told me I was being dramatic but claimed he would speak to the man who assaulted me by knocking my drink out of my hand. I literally watched the guard hug and exchange a warm handshake before high giving a high five to the man that did this. I did try to go get someone else who was a woman to step in but the security guards talked down to them too and they kept apologizing. When I returned to my table to grab my coat and leave bc it wasn't safe there; the same man knocked a second drink out of my hand and told me to leave; I left after telling the hostess I was assaulted a second time. No refund was offered but apparently they put him out after we left. I spent 2 hours pulling the glass out of my velvet dress and leg and I just can't recommend this place bc they don't protect or listen to women. I felt robbed and assaulted bc there was no refund.

    Fish tacos

    I came here for brunch on a Sunday to celebrate my friend's birthday. This place has a lovely decor and it's quite spacious. We sat outside on the terrace where they had heaters, so that was great! I ordered fish tacos from the appetizer section, but had them as a main dish. It was definitely enough for a meal and they were absolutely delicious! My friend ordered the poke bowl and said it was very good as well. We had a cocktail each (I forget the name) and both were quite good. I asked one of the waiters if they could prepare a dessert for my friend's birthday. Since she's gluten intolerant, they made us a fruit bowl. I thought it was so nice of them! Staff was surprisingly very professional and welcoming, although they were young. Great place in general, but definitely on the pricey side.

    A spur of the moment nye reservation got us interested at this new Thai- Hawaiian resto bar in Old Montreal for a 4 course meal for 117$ including tax and gratuity. Dress code was spiffy casual. The decor is spectacular and very personalized, the brightly coloured graffiti walls to the personalized plates of 90 hip hop and R&B artists hung on the pillars. I loved the music! Got me dancing in my seat but that's pretty much it for the highlights. I was too quick to speak. We started with the speciality cocktails that my friends had ordered-that were very watered down with a lot of ice. I stuck to my whiskey. The food was below average - I am paying for very expensive Thai express shrimp pad Thai as my main. It was not anything exceptional, but it did the job of providing me carbs to compensate for my drinks. For appetizers-the 808 salad was ok, as were the dumplings. For dessert a New York styled cheesecake that was good. Presentation seemed to be lacking in all of these dishes. Service was also lacking, we were served by multiple servers that all seemed very confused and overwhelmed. At some point we even witnessed inappropriate yelling at service staff. Things got interesting as we were seated next to the bathroom that were brightly painted with brand labels such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel. There were rotating groups of the same people going into a single bathroom stall. Some had backpacks. You paint the story. Next thing there was cops scoping out the area. This situation was really unpleasant so we ended up leaving the venue to find another venue before countdown. It's a disappointment because this location has a lot of potential. I can't judge the menu as we came here for Nye-but you would think the restaurant would serve their best items for such a grand event. I would relabel the Farsides as a young trending place, definitely not high end.

    Vegetarian pad thai

    Went here on opening night. First lets mention the awesome decor- Brooklyn, the 90s and graffiti everywhere! Then the great 90s hip hop music choice creates a fun laidback atmosphere. Service was generally excellent, minus a few glitches that we can attribute to it being opening night. The menu offered was an abridged version of what is listed online, but still a great variety with vegetarian and vegan options. Cuisine is thai-Hawaiian fusion, and boy do they deliver great flavours. We started with the veggie rolls for an appetizer... The flavours were a bit underwhelming but the dish was definitely creative. Next we ordered the kombucha curry with black rice and the vegetarian pad thai (that we were told contained no fish/shrimp paste and was definitely veg-friendly). Unfortunately food came out cold and it took a while to get our waitress' attention, but once we did they quickly came back with warm and absolutely delicious dishes. The kombucha curry was by far one of the best flavours I have had in my mouth over the years and would absolutely recommend it. The pad thai was alright but not comparable to the curry. Next we had the passionfruit and guava donuts, that we expected would be small beignets style donuts perhaps filled with fruit custards, however they came out as rather large dough-y donuts that were tasty but a bit large and ordinary for dessert. The cocktails were absolute perfection. Overall the price came out very reasonably, we just wish they would have comped us something given we ended up waiting about an hour to get our food given the coldness of the first dishes. But will recommend and will give it another chance, especially once the full menu is out.

    The food, ambiance and decorations were amazing!! I really love this place! It's really spacious and variety of food and drinks. The drinks were tasty also! Definitely recommend.

    Ribs

    We tried the ribs and the fried chicken bao. The ribs were tender and juicy. The fried chicken was full of flavor. They were both pretty good but a bit pricey for the portion.

    The farsides is always a good idea! If you love Sangria and good vibes it's the place to be

    So where to start, we were looking for a cool place to celebrate the New Years, and we opted for The Farsides mainly because of the advertised 90s vibe. One online reservation of $ 117 later, we were at this restaurant which is very well decorated by the way, with great wall arts and very good music from the 90s. At that moment, I was 100% sure that we were going to have a great time there. At the sight of the menu, my ambitions were brought down. As a starter, we could choose between two salads, I opted for Salad 808, with avocado and kale salad (very simple, there was nothing out of the ordinary there). As a main dish, we had three choices, I chose Kalbifornia Love, which is made with pieces of fat, uh I mean kalbi beef, roasted pineapple, roasted chunky tomato, it wasn't good...at all. For dessert we had a cheesecake, the presentation left something to be desired but my friends liked it... I didn't. We were seated downstairs facing the entrance of the restrooms, which was probably not the best, and which probably precipitated our departure, but not for the reasons you might have thought of. First of all, we were treated to the improvised setting up of an additional table taken from the terrace outside, with a draft of freezing air and the sounds of small hammer blows here and there as a bonus. Then, very early in the evening we started noticing bizarre comings and goings from the restrooms side, men and women dressed in black with bags were entering, sometimes accompanied by several other people (I never thought so many people could fit in one restroom to be honest lol), no need to get into details you understand what was probably going on there. So of course, as expected, a few minutes later a group of police officers arrived ... And I guess that at that moment I knew that it was too much for me, I did not want to start the year in this atmosphere. Basically, they really missed the opportunity to make a memorable evening, two tables left before us. I will not be going back, this place is really not worth it.

    i went there on a girl night out thinking that the food and drinks were going to be amazing. the sangria was okay, obviously tasting like fruit punch more than sangria. very diluted compared to other restaurants that create amazing sangrias. we started with appetisers fries and fried chicken. the fries are oven mccain fries from the frozen dept in your grocery store... and the sauce was mediocre. dont be fooled by what you read on the menu. after 5mins they were saggy.. as for the fried chicken i think someone mustve dropped the whole salt container in the batter because it was almost not eatable. also kind of oily and greyish at color..... the cabbage salad was mediocre also.

More than enough food for the 6 and everything was cooked perfectly- octopus wasn't chewy and the meats were super flavorful and tender. They were very accommodating to dietary restrictions as well.
