Nice ambiance and lovely staff👍🏻 Worst Margarita I’ve ever tasted. Lolly water consisting of mostly a glass of ice for $21. No salt rim. Pork tasty but full of soft fat.

My second time to Southside after being introduced by a friend. Took my daughter there before seeing a show. Just around the corner from QPAC this place is ideal for pre show lunch or dinner. Staff are friendly and effective. Food is delicious.

I booked a week in advance and I was seated outside with no option to choose, we all had to dine with our jackets on because of the wind. It seemed like there was only one waitress looking after the outdoor area, our table was was slightly hidden behind some plants and we barely received any service, the empty plates were left on the table until the next course. We all ordered set menu and when we did the waiter asked “are you feeling hungry?” I assumed the set menu was quite generous but I then realised why he was asking the question. Set menu $99pp (drinks excluded) is literally one bite of each dish each, the only substantial meal was the steak at the end. We all finished our dinner still feeling hungry. The food was excellent though and the restaurant is very pretty overall. Our table wasn’t in an ideal spot and it was quite loud because of the train running next to us. We ended up paying $542 in 4 people with 4 set menus and 4 drinks, the quality of the food is very good but also very little to eat. If I’ll happen to be back I’ll make sure to request an indoor table and I won’t order the set menu again.

Ok Guys, We both My Wife & I thoroughly enjoyed southside for my wife’s birthday food service & food was perfect. Just one negative that is I did not enjoy the loud music, not my cup of tea could have been a little, softer, gentle romantic, not so loud. Would a come again yes. Thanks Luke.

We were a table of four and chose to share food so we were able to taste more dishes. Food was delicious . Took awhile for us to be served but once that happened service was rightly timed. They were also aware that we were going to Qpac so we were able to enjoy our experience without being hurried

Food was alright nothing spectacular. Dumpling skin was very thick, tossed wok veggies was extremely salty. Service was really bad especially when payment as the server just left the eftpos machine on the table and walked away. I have to complete the eftpos payment myself as the patron. Maybe server need to be re-educate on how to serve customers.
SouthsideResponded on May 3, 2023Hi Margaret, thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We are sorry to hear your dining experience was not up to the standard we always strive for. We have passed this feedback on to our kitchen team & also identified your server on the day. We are always wanting to learn & improve & so will use this to ensure our staff are providing excellent customer service from start to finish. Thank you once again Margaret & hopefully we can welcome you back to Southside on another occassion.
