Amazing experience last night as always. The ambiance of Sidebar is first class. Had a reservation at 9:15pm was able to sit at the bar for drinks while we waited. Saxophone player walking the floor really made our night.
I was a bit hesitant at first definitely not my normal weekend place, but overall a pleasant experience. The waiter was amazing explain everything to me that was in the menu (just wanted to make sure I was going to like what I was spending that much money on). The entré was good I had the lamb and risotto and my wife had the mahi mahi tuna. The meal was great the drinks were very good. An excellent place for a special occasion.
Had a wonderful experience last night. Ruben the manager very informative about the history and uniqueness about it. Brandon our bartender was great. Enjoyed the food, drinks and everything about our night out! Check it out!
10/10 recommend. First of all, the ambiance is my favorite part of this restaurant. I am from Austin and we have nice restaurants but nothing like Sidebar. Secondly, the food (and service) were phenomenal. We had a few starters, the pork belly was my favorite. I had the snapper which was delightful and we finished our meal with the bread pudding and cheesecake. This is a restaurant that needs to be in Austin, hands down!!
Was recommended this place for a good while till finally booked my reservation for my 1year anniversary. The service was awesome and our waiter Kassandra (I think that was her name) gave us more information about the bar itself and the history. She recommended some wine for our special occasion but declined due to going on a year of sobriety. My plate was great so was my fiance. she loved the atmosphere because she's into jazz and for sure we are going back on a Wednesday since Kassandra said they have love music on those days and she also added a special note on our dessert. You can see the smile on my fiance face she loved it.. I will return to this place. and the prices for the food aint bad either.
Excellent service. We sat at the bar and our bartender was very knowledgeable, he prepare us delicious drinks and was friendly. It was our first time visiting so we only had drinks, we can wait to visit again for dinner.
Never disappoint ? good food and good ambience. Pricey.
Sooooo cozy and fancy and just a fun experience... Definitely something to try when you want to feel like you are in a big city. It's even better when they have the live music but it's only certain times so yeah.Reserve early because the spots go by fast. The food honestly depends on what you get, majority btw $16-25 i think most of the appetizers go for $10+Again it's the experience and a good chance for you to get all dolled up so you can get great pics. But not a requirement lol
We had the most relaxing evening at The Sidebar. The ambiance is very cozy and romantic and the jazz is not overly loud. We were also serenaded by a saxophonist who did a fabulous job. The service was impeccable, and the food was just delicious. The steaks we had were seasoned to perfection, and melted in our mouth. I sincerely recommend this restaurant, and we can’t wait to go back. If I was forced to pick out a flaw it would be the size of the steaks. They are advertised as 8 oz. steaks on the menu, but mine was no more than 4 oz., and my husbands might have been 6 oz..
Amazing atmosphere! Great food and drinks. This is an experience not just a meal. We will be coming back very soon!
