White chocolate cherry bread pudding
Melissa J.

Welcoming, welcoming efficient, crazy packed with a great wine and cocktail list, the servers are knowledgeable and friendly, offering suggestions and pairings. Service is quick, evenly spaced out appetite and entrees which is nice without being rushed. Having a reservation on a Saturday night is must. We came in ad s party of 4, thankfully we had reservations, the place was packed, the bar and restaurant were full. Once sat, our sever went over the cocktails and beer list, taking appetizer and shareable orders. Once the appetizers came out we put in for entrees and then dessert. Starting with the ceviche, incredible flavor with the tight touch of heat and citrus balance, almost made me wish I ordered 2 so I could have it as my entree as well. The chickpeas were perfectly seasoned with great texture. For our entrees we opted for the paperdale, house made, banh mi pork sandwich, a burger and the scallops. Everything was cooked perfectly, albeit the scallops were not so satisfying the mix of flavors were off for me, maybe it was the mushroom. We also had the white chocolate Jerry bread pudding, the perfect end to a meal, I'm a sucker for bread pudding.

Westsiders has been on my radar for a while, and I'm so glad I finally made it in. The space is super cute, classy yet comfortable. It's the kind of place that works for a night out with the girls or a corporate dinner, and I love a spot that can do both. I truly enjoyed my pasta dish. I'm not even usually into mushrooms, but I definitely was here. The only downside was that the service felt a little slow. It wasn't a particularly busy night, so the pace was a bit surprising. Overall, though, it was a solid experience.

Salmon BLT with side of Caesar

Went on a Sunday for brunch. Limited menu but interesting. The bacon is amazing, slightly sweet and crunchy. Tried something different and had a salmon BLT, and the salmon is shredded. It was delicious,, in a California style with thick wheat bread and avocado. Very different but I enjoyed it. I also substituted fries for Caesar salad side. They do that uniquely as well, each lettuce romaine leaf was saturated in the dressing instead of as a whole salad. So the presentation was very fun. But I also learned that they fresh press all of their juice and it's not overly priced, a $3 a glass. Many are charging much more. Not inexpensive for the entrees, but the quality and presentation is there. It is loud in there. It's very open warehouse and every conversation is echoing. The chair scratch across the 'cement-like' floor and it bothered me. Aside from that there's a fun vibe, very lively. Will go back and try some more things

We stopped by Westsiders in Rocky River this past Sunday for brunch, located in the old Boca Taco spot. It's a great place to escape the summer heat -- cool, inviting, and with a laid-back atmosphere. The service was excellent, with staff who were friendly and attentive. As for the food, I went with the classic burger and fries, which hit the spot. My wife ordered the granola bowl with fresh fruit, which was light and refreshing -- a nice option for a brunch menu. So we also had some whipped Burrata cheese that was served with toast. Weird combo because as soon as the toast gets brought out, it's cold that eating with cold Burrata. I would maybe choose sub pita and veggies. My wife also thought the Burrata was quite garlicly I liked it. There was a decent selection of items to choose from, and while everything was solid, it felt like we just scratched the surface. This visit gave us a good first impression, but we definitely want to return during regular business hours to get a better feel for what Westsiders has to offer beyond brunch. Right now, it's a nice addition to the area, but I'm curious to see how it will set itself apart from other semi-upscale restaurants like Burntwood, nearby. Looking forward to seeing how it grows.

Oh emmmm geeee. I love this place. This was our first visit and wow. Everything from the drinks, the atmosphere, the service- were spot on. Delicious food. It was cozy in there on a fall night. The drinks are "different " but delicious- my only complaint is that they don't serve their mules in a copper mug which really does matter. I am excited to go again. It was THAT good.

Came here for a group birthday dinner. I liked the Japanese noodle drink and scallops. Mixed reviews at the table with the pasta dishes just being okay. I wasn't overly impressed with the ricotta but i prefer it on the sweeter side

Banh mi
Missy P.

I want to give 5 stars because the playlist and vibes of the restaurant are great, but the food was a bit hit and miss. We started with the meatball app and it was the star or the meal, made me regret not getting a pasta dish as my main because clearly they know Italian. But the ricotta app wasn't as much of a hit, it lacked a little flavor. For mains, my husband got the banh mi and it was huge and the roll alone was divine. I got the burger (it was ok, would get a pasta next time) and my girls got the buttered noodles. Good to note it's not the most kid friendly place, but we made it work! Heads up no high chairs and the only kids item is buttered noodles.

The drinks.... Wowza. Some of the best drinks in Cleveland. There is definitely a reason why westsiders made Cleveland's best new restaurant list. The food has depth, texture and eye appeal. Fantastic place

Great place for a girls night. We went on a Sunday and while we had a reservation, we were one of only four or five tables. Our server was friendly and checked on us an appropriate amount of times. The prices felt slightly higher than they should be. Would go back!

Is this a family friendly restaurant? I have two school aged boys.

It's not family unfriendly... We brought an infant and they did not have high chairs... I don't know if that was because they had only opened recently. I would double check the menu to ensure there's something that the kids will eat. But by no means…

Soft boiled eggs--good, decent 3.5/5 Corn bread French toast sticks--soft fluffy bread with crispy exterior, though pretty pricey (3 sticks for $14). 4/5 Smash shak--breakfast sausage patties worked great for this sandwich--tender meat with crispy focaccia 4.5/5 Steak and eggs--steak was tender and cooked to medium, good eggs. 4.5/5 Croque monsieur--also great, hard to go wrong with bread, ham, cheese. 4.5/5 Salted honey pie--now I see why this is so popular. One of the best pies, the filling is as refreshing and sweet. The bee pollen didn't have much taste, had a chalky texture but was visually appealing. Though the pie crust was hard to insert the fork (probably because of the honey?), it was still good. Favorite of the night. 5/5 Service was good, a little slow but they were busy. Seating was comfortable and reservations available online (walk in was fine too when I went). Heads up that there's a 3% dine in service fee. During brunch, we've ordered a pie to-go, and the pie was sadly still included in the dine in service fee. Parking available as street parking (pay via ParkMobile) or you can find a free spot if you're willing to walk a block or two. Overall good quality food, will definitely come back for more pie.

I ordered the Crispy Brussels and she selected the Roasted Garlic Whipped Mascarpone. The pasta was delicious. And so were the Brussels. The Whipped Mascarpone was OK, although both of us thought the combination of the cheese, garlic, lemon, and pretzel crackers were a little too much. Both thought the garlic was too forward, and the mascarpone would have been better with just the lemon and/or perhaps with a touch of honey...even hot honey. The portions were all huge and we each took an additional meal home. Ordered coffee to end the evening and were delighted that they came as French Press coffee rather than just regular brewed. The venue is very nice albeit quite loud. Conversation was challenging, but manageable. We will be back.

They also usually have a very unique cocktail menu, but this time they didn't have one which was disappointing. They just had their regular cocktail/drink menu, but we still really enjoyed our cocktails. To start we got the hummus and rosemary focaccia. The focaccia was sooo soft and delicious. I especially loved the whipped fig honey butter. For my entree, I got the Thai spicy chicken sandwich and it was sooo good. I wanted to finish it but I think I filled up on too much bread lol. I felt like the fries didn't really add anything to it and were a bit plain and meh. I liked the fingerling potatoes a lot more. Their desserts are amazing. I chose the hazelnut tart and it was creamy and delicious. My boyfriend got the cheese ice cream plate and I thought it was so cute and unique!

Now, I find myself heading up to Salty Mary's with my teenage son who is always looking to try different seafoods. And boy did our last trip hit another level! We celebrated his birthday and got a few different options that all exceeded our expectations. From the fried clam strips to the oysters to the salmon to the crab ... ending with the peanut butter chocolate sundae (I still have no idea where he puts all that food) ... it was another awesome time that I'm sure will be followed by another Can't wait for the next time and highly recommend!

The restaurant has a bright, airy atmosphere that feels welcoming even on a slightly cloudy day. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Their Happy Hour menu offered several tempting options, and we sampled a variety of dishes. We started with the Crispy Thai Shrimp, which delivered the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Kitchen Social is known for its artisan dough pizzas, so we ordered the mushroom pizza, and it certainly did not disappoint. We also tried the Korean BBQ Cauliflower and the Shrimp & Grits...both flavorful and well executed. Since it was Happy Hour, we naturally enjoyed a few cocktails to accompany the meal. We sampled both the Maple Old Fashioned and the traditional Old Fashioned, then ventured a bit further with the Tequila Thyme and the Sangria. Each cocktail was well crafted and enjoyable in its own right. Best of all, because it was Happy Hour, the experience was easy on the wallet. Great food, excellent service, enjoyable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere make Kitchen Social a place I'll definitely be returning to.

There is a bar, the normal restaurant drinks and unsweetened iced tea. Free refills on sodas and tea. Soup specials change daily but the normally have lentil, chicken noodle, chicken and rice and matzoh ball soups. Fridays are usually New England Clam Chowder. Saturdays they usually have German Dumpling. My faves are the clam and the matzoh ball. Deli sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, chicken sandwiches and burgers. Salads. Apps. Dinners. They really have everything. Oh and breakfast too. My faves are the fresh fruit plate with muffin, the mix and match, the chicken salad sandwich, either of the club sandwiches, the BLT and the hot dog. It's a grilled hot dog and worth it. I also really like the latkes and corned beef. My daughter loves the shish tawook. My husband loves the huge onion rings. A family friend swears by the open roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes. Another friend d loves the pastrami. I really love this restaurant. I cannot think of a bad meal. Ever. I go about twice a month. There is an app for ordering. Takeout is very organized and professional. There are some designated take out parking spots so you can run in really quick to grab your order. I do not like their desserts. I am in the minority with this hot take but I do have friends who love the France, the black and white and the cheesecakes. This place gets busy but the tables are cleared very promptly and the turnover is quick. I try to go at weird times. 2pm for lunch. 6:30 for dinner. Parking is a bit of an issue but if you circle the lot you can usually nab a good spot. Your entire party must be with you before you are seated.
