This location stands out from others in the restaurant chain, everything was especially good and fresh tasting! The service from Marley and Emily was exceptional, we never had to wait for anything and we were very well looked after the whole way through.

We went for my wife’s birthday dinner with my two kids. The food and drinks were good as always but our waitress Emily was the best part. She was super attentive and thoughtful. She never interrupted our food but was there magically any time I even thought of asking for something. If I could give ten stars I would. Employee of the year for sure

We ordered our food through a food delivery service, but I must say we were quite disappointed, especially when considering the cost. I ordered the seafood linguini which had a very "off" taste to it, like something had gone bad, it definitely wasn't fresh ingredients. There used to be scallops in this dish but they've replaced them with calamari which I presume costs less but wasn't great. My husband's chicken parmesan was chewy and had a very unpleasant texture. East Side's is one of the most costly places to eat at anymore and I wouldn't mind paying if the quality was there but it's just not.
