Even though I'm not usually a fan of prime rib, it was incredible! I also loved the Shanghai tuna. The staff were super friendly, and our food arrived quickly.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Side Door with some local friends. It was our first visit since the new ownership, and we were thoroughly impressed with both the food and service. The Pistachio Herb Butter Whitefish and the Steak Zolie entrees were outstanding, and we absolutely loved the bread pudding for dessert! The hosts, bartenders, and servers were all friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning! Best, Cathy and Sean Ryan.
