    The service was amazing! It was our first time making it to B-Side and will for sure be back! My wife and son loved the seafood boil, and I had an amazing smash burger! They even went out of the way to go get me a gluten free bun from a sister restaurant! Truly amazing team and the general manger, Nicole, clearly loves and is passionate about her career! If you haven’t been, take this as your sign to go! We can’t wait to be back!
