Side Bar East Lansing

Burger was good, I think it needed some onion or lettuce. Missing some flare. It was good, but nothing special. Fries had no seasoning and seemed like they could have come out of a frozen bag. The drippings of my burger on the fries were the best ones. Service was wonderful, super nice staff. My drink had two VERY large mint leaves which made my friend and I laugh, very enjoyable.

Expresso Martini is delicious

Had a good burger

Service started out good then quickly went down hill. 1 server had 2 -8 tops. She paid most of her attention to the other table.
Food was highly over priced and severely under seasoned. Truffle fries were very bland and just tasted like normal fries. I literally enjoy McDonald's more than this food.
Very loud with brick walls.
Most likely will not be back. I feel like I wasted $250.

I don’t even now where to start. Our attempt to have dinner at this bar was most chaotic and underwhelming. Party of 4 arrived at 5:45pm on a Tuesday. We found a table, were greeted by Sophie who took our drink and appetizer order. After the wine arrived, it all fell apart. We asked for waters that were never brought to the table. The bruschetta was lukewarm and mediocre. The food orders we placed were double checked by the waiter and still came out all wrong: steak was advertised as being served with a salad, mashed potatoes and asparagus; it arrived 45 minutes after we ordered with no salad or potatoes. Instead, it arrived not medium rare but well done and when asked about the potatoes, the food runner shrugged her shoulders, said she was not a waiter, and left. Another person came over with a plate of what looked like rice and more asparagus. Confused, we asked what that was all about and the answer was “the rest of your order”. As for the other entrees, the two salads were okay but again, orders were wrong: salmon was supposed to be grilled and was blackened, dressing on the side was not served. Lastly, the pasta dish was brought out in a take out container because at this point, after waiting for almost one hour, we were done. Pesto pasta was all clumped together, lacked seasoning, and the shrimp not blackened but barely thawed. And no side salad. All this to say the food was terrible. The service was unprofessional. Our waiter disappeared the moment we asked why it was taking so long, given that restaurant had empty tables. The bartender who dropped off the food literally slammed the plates on our table and asked one of us to leave because we were being loud. We asked for boxes, the check and a manager. The boxes took forever, the check was outrageous, and the manager… well, there was no manager in duty. When we finally got the check and walked to the bar to pay, a manager showed up and was about to comp our tab after being explained what we had experienced. And then, the snooty and entitled bartender told him we had yelled at her and we had no choice but to hand them the credit card. No one, and I mean no one at this establishment knows what they are doing. I think there was only one waiter, two disoriented food runners, one grumpy bartender who acted like a manager, and who knows how many cooks. For the prices they charge ($12 to add salmon to a salad, $54 for the leathery steak, $65 for a charcuterie board), one would expect much better. Never again will we set foot in this place. Sometimes one or two things aren’t perfect and that’s okay. This was a nightmare, everything went wrong and there was no attempt at fixing it and no apologies offered. And if you care, they don’t card anyone. Great for business.

Friends, my wife, and I thoroughly enjoyed the place for dinner last night. ALL food was fresh and very well prepared. Service was also excellent. Grilled chicken dinner was everything I’d hoped for and same could be said for wife’s Nachos and friends’ burgers. I’ve paid more and gotten less even from places with good reputations. Place looks good but is a tad loud for my old ears.
