    This was our 2nd time we had brunch with friends at ParkSide. Both times the food was excellent. The 1st time the noise level was fine (we were early); this time early aftrnn after a private event had left the noise level was acceptable. Certainly we'll come back soon at early times &/or at week days. Thanks ParkSide your service is always great! Charly

    Took my wife and daughter (her first time) here for their late/early birthdays. I made a note in OpenTable but no acknowledgment from the staff which was a little disappointing. We ordered the hamachi tiradito to start and although it was very good, the description didn’t match. It was supposed to have persimmons and pomegranate and instead had Japanese pears and something else. Again, was still very good but just not what we were expecting. My wife ordered the steak bites that was supposed to be braised trip tip and we were told it was not available but they could do something pan seared instead. Decided to try it and the meat was a little over cooked so it was a little dry. We really enjoyed our meals but these little things put a tiny bit of a damper on the overall experience. Despite that, I would still recommend this place to anyone and we will be back.

    Loved the newly added mushroom soup. Their wine prices and corkage fee policy is a key selling point. And the staff is great.
