“Can't really comment on the food but I will comment on the drinks!
Really lovely spot I met a coworker for drinks after a rough day in the office. We enjoyed cocktails and wine..it was quiet, had the perfect "bar lighting" and the server was really lovely and quick to help out without being intrusive. We made plans to come back because we had such a nice time!“

“This was our first visit to Side Door Cocktail bar. V pizza was already closed and we almost left because we did not find the door to the bar. We started with two classic cocktails which were just okay. Our second round was a little bit better. We shared one their signature cocktail at the end which was good. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.“

“Made a reservation here a week ahead for a special occasion and was super excited to try it out. Our reservation was for 8pm and we arrived fifteen minutes early and didn’t get sat until around 8:30-8:45 but Being that I also work in the food industry and it’s Covid times, I didn’t see it as a big deal. I do wish I had snacked before hand though! They did send edamame to our table for the inconvenience once we were finally sat though which was a super nice and unnecessary gesture. Also, the ambience is lovely and super romantic. The best sushi I have ever had. So light and flavorful. We even got some dessert and I have to say the mochi doughnuts were to die for - I wish the chocolate sauce for dipping had been dark chocolate but that’s my personal preference. The only negative thing I have to say is it is a little pricey so it won’t be a regular spot for me personally but definitely a place to check out for special events or date nights.“

“This was one of the nicer mexican food places in the area. I had ordered chicken mango-chipotle tacos. They were very tasty and juicy. Except for the tacos, the portion sizes were bigger than what you usually get in Mexican restaurants. The ambience was great, and the service was good. The drinks looked intriguing but I didn't get a chance to try them.“

“My husband and I happen to be in Cary, looked up this restaurant and decided to try. We didn’t regret it! Food was amazing! The tandoori chicken was melt in your mouth good and so was the butter chicken. The sauce was smooth and so flavorful. My husband had the Biryani ghee lamb (I can’t remember the name) it was amazing! Spicy enough for him and he love it too. We will definitely be back and we plan to bring our kids next time. We already told several friends. JP time to get an instagram, so we can spread the word!“

“Overall Score: 8.3/10 – A spacious and clean bistro with attentive servers, high-quality food, and a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxing meal.

Atmosphere and Service: 8.5/10 – The bistro offers a large, open interior with unique decor and big TVs that enhance the experience. The outdoor area, though small, is well-maintained and adds to the charm. The staff is very attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The bar area is sleek and inviting, contributing to the overall appeal of the space.

Menu: 7.9/10 – The menu offers a wide range of options and is more extensive than many similar establishments. Adding a few additional choices could make it even more appealing and elevate the dining experience further.

Burger: 8.3/10 – A wonderfully crafted burger with bold flavors and excellent quality. The combination of sauce, cheese, and a perfectly cooked patty makes each bite satisfying and flavorful. The bacon was crispy, the pickles added a nice touch, and the bun was soft and fresh. The fries were crisp and delicious, complementing the burger well. The price was reasonable for the quality and taste.

Margherita Pizza: 8.4/10 – A high-quality pizza with a perfect balance of flavors. The sauce was bold, and the cheese adhered well without sliding off or creating extra grease. The crust was excellent, with just the right amount of crispness despite a slightly soft undercarriage. Each bite was consistent and enjoyable, with a reasonable price for the size and quality.“

“The best cheese pizza I have found in the Triangle. Have tried pizza in many places, but this is the best because it tastes like the pizza I had when I lived in the NY metropolitan area.Terrific sauce, cheese, herbs and the crust is perfect, just crispy enough without being too thin. Love it.Other food is good too, but the pizza is why we go there.“

“I want to give a shout-out to the serving staff at Smashed. Our teen son and some of his high school soccer teammates have been spending a lot of time practicing at a local field and then walking over to Smashed for lunch. As previous hospitality workers ourselves, we've taught our son to tip well, but I can imagine servers are hesitant when they see a group of teens sit in their section. Our son has said that every time they've gone (3x in one week, lol) the staff has been welcoming, attentive, and fun. Thank you for providing everyone with a pleasant dining experience!“
