This was a work related gathering and the place did impress. The food was outstanding, the service was also very on point, and the atmosphere was pretty good, butnthe diningbwas segmented and small. The parking was disastrous.

Great food. I had salmon and fries. Lol it's a bad habit. Eat healthy but can't pass up the fries here. Cake was good too.

My wife and I found this place on our walk back from our hotel. We were greeted with amazing customer service and sat promptly at their bar, as requested. The service was some of the best I’ve had. They had a fantastic authentic gumbo special and the oysters were delicious. At the end, they let us sample their king cake! Jill was fanatic behind the bar. Everyone in the restaurant appeared to have been having just as much fun as well. Highly recommend and we plan on returning there to eat before our trip ends!

Our reservation was at 730pm and we arrived at 710pm. Got seated fairly quickly then it took awhile for someone to take our drink order. Another 20 mins goes by and finally someone takes our order. Afterwards they tried 3 separate tikes to brings us other people orders. Our food arrives after the 2 couples seated after us already had their food. My wife's food came 10 minute before my steak. When my steak arrived almpst blue rare(ordered medium) I was done and ready to leave. Food arrived an hour after we first checked in. Other only table we could find last minute on Valentines Day was at a Saltgrass location and ended up have a great time there.

Super disappointing Valentine’s experience. We chose Parkside because we recently rented the event space upstairs for our wedding, and were truly blown away. I’m not sure where the lines got blurred, but our recent dinner experience was everything but smooth. Our 6:30 reservation was not honored, we finally managed a table about 30 minutes after that. Once seated, it took about 20 minutes to get seen. Thankfully my husband managed to order me a drink from the bar. Once our server came around, we put in our complete order from the Valentine’s menu. We received our oysters about an hour after seating and nothing else. The server never came around again, no management came to speak to us, we never even had the opportunity to know what was going on. After voicing this to a person running food, she simply dismissed our concern and told us the restaurant would cover our oysters. No hospitality, resolution or explanation. Mind-blowing bummer.

Some of the food here was hit and miss. The macaroni lacked flavor. The squash and salmon were really fantastic. However, compared to other reviews and photos I saw. The portions for the entrees given to us were a lot smaller on Valentine’s Day for the same price. That was a let down. Also while everyone was nice, we were seated very closely to other people. All in all, based on my experience it seemed this business is more interested in turning tables and serving less portions for the same prices. Don’t think I’d return.

We waited for 20 minutes at our table and not a single server came up to us. When we finally got a server the first thing he said to us was “I suggest to put your food order all in at once.” We walked out!

I got the lamb ribs and I didn’t like the sauce on top. It was too herb taste So if you don’t like intense herb flavor ask the sauce on the side. I ordered the salmon and it came with a green sauce and I didn’t like it either and the salmon didn’t even had salt or pepper it was plain .
The worst part was to wait for our food 1 hour 30 min.

My date and I had a delightful dinner. We ordered a second dozen oysters and would have ordered a third if it had still been before 6pm. We were five minutes late. LOL I had the crab fritters, which were delicious. She liked her steak, I liked my grilled salmon (although it was a tad small). I've been here when it was very noisy but on this occasion the noise level was very pleasant. My date wanted a particular kind of cocktail, and our waiter recommended one which she liked very much. She also requested some shallots to go with our oysters, which were quickly and cheerfully provided. (I think I'll be requesting them from now on!) I had two glasses of the Rhone Valley sauvignon blanc, which were very tasty and went well with my salmon. Their happy hour is a DEAL if you like oysters! I wish I got to visit Parkside more often. :-/

Tried Parkside for dinner on East 6th and it’s a good pick if you want something a little nicer but still relaxed. The raw bar is the move here—oysters were fresh and the mignonette options made it fun to mix things up. Cocktails were solid, and the dining room has that brick-and-wood downtown vibe that works for a date or catching up with friends.
Came here for a private event. It was hard to tell what the space would look like on a regular night, but the food was very good though served buffet style at this event!

Best decision to have dinner here. Everything we ordered was yumm.. Lamb chops: the best lamb chops I ever had! Salmon and beef was amazing as well. They were pretty generous with us, the cook threw in a salad too which was again super tasty and there was bread n butter made inhouse that was fresh and amazing. The ambiance The girl who served us was so friendly and helping us pick what to eat and all.. really nice experience Location is great too. It's nesting in middle of bars and clubbing area. A must go place! I think the cook rocks Whatever they will cook would be super tasty!

6th St post Thanksgiving was a delight! Quieter than usual, we were thrilled to find Parkside. Sat at the bar & it was perfect!! Their Happy Hour from 5-6 was AWESOME! Half off all drinks & 4 of their top selling appies was perfect! Nico was behind the bar: Friendly, professional & gave the perfect suggestion for my palate. My husband loved his Oysters & Lamb with the WA Hedges Cab & Still Rye from Austin & I ADORED my Austrian Buchegger Riesling with the Ceviche. Fresh, balanced & tasty... we'll definitely be back.

Awesome happy hour deals! Sun-Fri 5-6 PM 1/2 off cocktails, beer, wine glasses; 1/2 off select menu items (east coast oysters, beef tartare, ceviche, crab fritters, USDA prime bacon cheeseburger). Greta ambiance. Downtown street parking. We especially liked the cheeseburger, crab fritters, and beef tartare. Outside of the happy hour menu, I recommend the endive salad (so good with apples, nuts, and dressing) and caramel pear tart for dessert.
