It took two weeks for me to get a reservation at Sidecar for our 31st wedding anniversary. I wish I had chosen differently. NEVER have expectations been so high for such a terrible experience. And, this is my first poor review of any establishment, ever.
Online, there is no specific menu listed, however, I assumed what is listed, “finest libations and culinary delights” would allow for excellent drinks and food. The drinks were overpriced and moderate quality (“The Signature”is their “Old Fashioned”. It’s SMOKED and priced at $25 per glass, we have made better at our home). The food options were a wedge salad, a couple of flat breads a charcuterie board, a flat iron steak meal and another steak for $125. (Yes, One hundred and twenty five dollars, that is no typo.) No chicken dishes whatsoever. We ordered the flat iron steak and charcuterie. The flat iron came thickly sliced over a bed of greens- so basically it was a salad. It was the best part of the experience. The charcuterie was terrible (hard to get meat and cheese wrong) but this contained one kind of hard cheese and a few meats, some dried apricots, figs, one single blackberry and some strange pate that looked and tasted like brain might. I ate a bit before my stomach started churning. Just awful.
Online also listed House Rules and Etiquette; *Dress to impress! Cocktail attire is admired although not obligatory. *Keep it classy: no coarse language or unsavory dispositions. We are all about the good vibes”.
We arrived 15 minutes early, concerned that we may be underdressed in cashmere sweater’s and slacks (I had on heels). At 6:30pm a group of 6 middle aged men walked in wearing shorts, t-shirts, and ball caps. They were seated at the bar directly behind us and were clearly already intoxicated, but there for more drinks. Their yelling and laughing so was loud that it overtook our entire experience. So much for keeping it classy..
Left hungry and irritated. NEVER AGAIN.
