We enjoyed another great dinner at Parkside. Our special requests were readily accommodated. The chicken dish is great and its combination of vegetables and mac and cheese for sides make it a hearty meal. The salmon was prepared perfectly and well complemented by a potato puree and fresh carrots. The ahi tuna was fresh and rare as requested. The grilled pita and fresh breads were an added surprise to begin the meal. And we ordered the side of sweet potato fries , which were unlike any we have had. They are house cut, thick, and a good balance of a crispy outside and a meaty body. Great job by all and everyone makes you feel at home at this neighborhood establishment of fine dining.

We are in Woodside 2-3 times a year for equestrian events, and have made it a point to have dinner at Parkside during every stay. Even in our horse show clothes we are treated to amazing food and wonderful service. It’s a wonderful time!
