    Scallops

    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

    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.

    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

Open but comfy I had the tagliatelle bolognese- it was excellent and hubs had the pork chop which he really liked Would definitely come back 3.75 stars

    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!

    Chorizo sweet potato hash

    Love the style of this restaurant - the decor, the bar setup, the furniture...it's all very well put together and creates a beautiful upscale vibe especially for a fun boozy brunch on the weekend - highly recommend checking this place out for that! The food was very good and we really enjoyed the flavors - the potatoes accompanying the brunch dishes were delicious!! Our server was super friendly and attentive and we enjoyed the bottle of wine we had as well with our meals. Overall happy we checked this place out and will come back for a date night or to sit at the bar one time soon!

    Pork chop
    Ailin J.

    Made a reservation for three Friday night and I would recommend because it was full that night. Nice ambiance with colors of green that pair with the wood well. Seating in the main area is the best location and the booth was quite comfy. They do have some TVs for any major games that may be playing but I also enjoy their cooking shows they play on TV. Carrots and ricotta is a must! I loved the pistachios and the ricotta was so fluffy it didn't even taste like ricotta but more like salty whipped cream. Pork chop was a favorite, perfectly cooked and juicy with the cream sauce being a highlight making it a perfect bite. Cauliflower steak came with excess hummus for those hummus lovers. Pasta was large and not too oily or rich which I appreciated. I love the combination of mushroom and broccolini. Wasn't a huge fan of the stuffed peppers mainly because they weren't what I was expecting. I'm used to large peppers with more meat and this was rhetorical opposite. I wasn't lean more towards an Italian take so the smoky sauce it was in confused me a bit but overall the dish was still good.

    Tiramisu martini
    Chelsea A.

    Super creative drinks and a delicious burger. The margarita was so interesting and light. Fresh fruity flavors and it could definitely be dangerous. Bartender was super nice and the inside of the restaurant was gorgeous. Tiramisu martini was incredibly inventive and really tasted like it.

    Whipped ricotta
    Ashley P.

    Went to westsiders for brunch on a whim and was so impressed! Our server Alex was so sweet and also gave great recommendations on the drink and food menu. Ended up picking something I normally wouldn't based on her recommendation and it was one of the best brunch hash meals I've ever had! The drink menu is a great size with plenty of options. Wish it would have been busier in there on a Saturday at noon for brunch because they deserve it!

    Seared Tuna

    This restaurant offers a unique blend of casual elegance, creative cuisine, and top notch cocktails. The interior of Westsiders features warm wood tables, sumptuous leather-wrapped booths, and reclaimed Art Deco-era panels. The setting is perfect for a relaxed evening out or a special occasion. The menu rotates with some constant staples. The house whipped ricotta is a no brainer starter with its smooth savory taste. The French toast sticks were a little too fried for my taste. The seared tuna with the garnish was equally tasty as it was attractive to the eye. The Pavlova is a perfect finish for a dining experience at Westsiders. The smoke show cocktail with its mezcal base is a not miss cocktail for smoky cocktail lovers while the Amaro Hit Chocolate is a seasonal holiday cocktail that sets the mood. Paired with excellent service, my experience has left me craving to go back. Can't wait.

    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… Read more

Jeremy was our server, and was friendly, knowledgeable, and handled my gluten allergy without batting an eye. The food? Our selections were off the chain. We started with the deviled eggs - extremely creamy; a little kick; topped with a crisp cornichon. We had 4 different varieties of oysters -- all perfectly chilled and served with both cocktail and a green sauce mignonette, with plenty of lemon. Now for the showstoppers -- I had the N'awklins shrimp and grits. Oh my! The shrimp were nestled on top of the silky cheddar grits, and blackened - seasoned beautifully and cooked just right - not mushy or chewy. But the star? The broth! Tomato based, the depth of flavor was unexpected, and so good, I could have eaten a bowl of just that. My husband had Cioppino, which I could not taste due to GF. His description -- the broth was rich and thick -- not like a typical cioppino broth. It was was chock full of seafood -- very hearty -- with mussels; shrimp; calamari; clams, and just a touch of heat. The bread was also a standout -- baked to order, and then charred. You may want an extra piece of bread, he wants me to tell you! Really -- go to Salty Mary's, ask for Jeremy, and stuff yourself silly. You won't regret it.

The $3.50 oysters were okay, though not especially fresh and poorly shucked (shell fragments left in the liquor). Most dishes were heavy on Cajun seasoning, which overwhelmed the seafood rather than complementing it.

However, we heard it was a deli and from the photos online the food looked great. So, we tried it. Well, the food was amazing. They offer a very large menu. There is something for everyone. I ordered the Philly and could not believe how good it was. The portions are huge, so we split. The potato salad was great, not the grocery store type! We were a large party of 9, and they had no problem seating us. We waited 10 minutes for a table. The service was fantastic. The waitress was very nice and brought refills right away. She brought extra plates when asked and got to-go boxes for us. The ambiance is hard to explain. The pace is huge! Not really decorated like a deli at all. Kind of an upscale diner, very clean, and minimalist. Don't expect a fancy interior. It's kid-friendly and just an all-around great family place. Not a "date" place, however, the food is so good, I just might ask to go there on a date! This restaurant does not disappoint.

The dessert case was large & filled with beautiful cakes & pastries. We were sat about 10 mins late though I was there 30 mins early), but we got 2 servers. The 2 ladies were cordial but a bit short w/ us and persnickety about our requests. My sister asked for light cheese specifically & server said that veggie sub never has a lot on it so she didn't need to note it. Then it came out w/ so much cheese it was impossible to separate it so she asked for it to be remade & server said that was the last one they had. So she had to order a side salad since time was short as hers came out last, & it would take 10+ mins to make another dish. There were a couple other issues w/ server's remarks seeming to have attitude. Food overall tasted good. My hot pastrami was delicious but overly salted & cheese wasn't melted like on everyone else's sandwiches. All like the huge pickles. Prices were fair for the portions. And food came out when ready as we requested for 16 ppl. I'd give 3.5 stars if able, but I'll round up this time.
