- JJohnCleveland / Akron / Canton •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOur sever is as great…attentive (not overbearing) and knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. Our table ordered the meatloaf, the wild boar gnocchi, the chicken + dumplings and the duck breast. We also had the mussels and the lamb meatball appetizers. Everything was amazing except for the duck breast. It was very bland compared to the other dishes. We also had the lemon raspberry pie for dessert…A taste to dream about it was soooo good! Highly recommend this restaurant.More infoRood- LakewoodPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lakewood•4.8
- PPattiCleveland / Akron / Canton •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMy son was in town, so we were looking for somewhere different for dinner. We decided to check out Westsiders. It was a great experience from start to finish. Our hostess was flexible when we asked to change booths. Our server was friendly and helpful when it came to explaining dishes we had questions about. My husband and son each got an Old Fashioned, which they raved about. I got a seasonal drink, Pirate's Vice, which tasted like a tropical vacation. For appetizer, we got whipped ricotta with sourdough, which was so creamy and delicious. My son got the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which he said was amazing. My husband and I both got the scallops, which had au gratin potato cakes, corn and an amazing sauce. I highly recommend this dish if you like seafood. If you're looking for a West side restaurant with great food, friendly service and a cozy vibe... this is your place. We will definitely be back.More infoWestsidersPrice: Expensive• American• Rocky River•4.6
