    今天赶上出新品了,太开心了.尝试了两款新品。牛排意大利面 和炸鱼排.先说意大利面吧,有点硬,可能是厨师赶时间吧,因为正好是晚餐繁忙时间.大蒜建议铁板煎焦一些更好吃,要不就用蒜泥,不要用整瓣蒜.不过面味道我超级喜欢.炸鱼排超级大份,尺寸惊艳到了我们,但是味道真的好一般,外面裹的面一点都不脆,湿答答的,也油.鱼有点腥,肯定是不会再吃了.今天的服务也一般.过去10多年每次都先上面包和汤或者沙拉.这次正餐都上来一会了,面包和汤过了一会才上.总之今天吃的不是很享受.我喜欢疫情之前的牛排,那绝对是我们全家的最爱,不知道是否未来会回归到菜单上!很期待!

    Brought my daughter and her friends to celebrate her 14th birthday. Caryn was our server and she was amazing. So attentive and friendly. Made our daughter and her friends feel So comfortable as they nervously ordered their own food. Thank you Caryn you are a gem!

    Eastside is my kids favorite restaurant! Our most recent trip this week, we were served by Caryn who was phenomenal. She was very patient with my children practicing ordering by themselves, and her attentiveness was first class. She even noticed my oldest picking the croutons out of my Caesar salad to munch on, and was thoughtful enough to bring them a tiny dish of their very own croutons. Her patience and hospitality were unmatched. Food was good as it always is. It was a busy evening but she was around to check on us frequently and we never felt rushed or forgotten. I did have sort of an off-putting experience when we first walked in, as the hostess didnt make any eye contact or even greet us, other than to ask how many people, but I chalk that up to a young person learning the ropes at a new job. Thankfully we were served by Caryn who made us all feel taken care of and seen. And of course, Alfredo the robot waiter is always a big hit. Looking forward to the next time!

    Caryn was our server on a busy kids eat free Tuesday. She excelled with the commotion, kept us topped up with the all-you-can-eats, and gave attention to the kiddo while also checking in with me first on his choices. Superb service ! The water has a little strange algae taste to it, it wasn’t like that on our last visit. And veggies were slim on my main. The gentleman who seated us came out from nowhere without a logo I wasn’t sure he worked there but followed anyway lol. I think things are better and more personal on less busy days overall solid.

    The server was very friendly. The spinach dip was inedible, not sure what was going on with it. The dip was chunky first of all and looked like it either had olive bits or mushroom, you could really tell. The cheese was not melted in it and it was entirely too wet, making the bread soggy and unpalatable. The Caesar salads dressing was sharp and barely recognizable. The main looked great but was just okay, plus the food was just a touch above warm when it arrived at the table. However, the air conditioner was so high it wouldn't have had much of a chance anyway. My friend and I were both shivering by the end of the meal. I used to love this restaurant but can't imagine that I will be back anytime soon.
