Sophie was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Our drinks were always full, the food came out quickly, and she checked in just the right amount without ever hovering. Excellent service and a great attitude, Sophie truly made our meal enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for her next time!

Got the smash burger, pretty tasty with fries. The tater tots are good as well. Service was friendly, and we went there for an early dinner so it was nice and quiet.

We were here on a very busy football game day and the staff were all incredible- especially our talented and cheerful server Jessica! She handled a group of 15 people (over half were children) with grace, speed, professionalism, and a sense of humor. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather. Excellent food! We’ll be back next time we come to Boston.

We hosted an end of year banquet for a student organization at Boston College and had a fantastic experience. We were able to book the entire upstairs to accommodate our group and have buffet style appetizers from 3-5pm. Kyle was great to work with and figured out the quantities of food based on our budget. The food was fresh and the staff were super friendly! They even gave us an extra half hour for everyone to say their goodbyes. We did not use the bar since we had some folks under 21, but they did cut and plate cake that we brought in and served that from the bar at the end of the banquet. They also hooked us up with a sound system and let us project on all the TVs. The students loved being at Cityside; and we definitely plan to have our banquets here again in the future. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had a great experience here! We came for Sunday brunch and the food and drinks were fantastic. I loved the breakfast egg rolls! Additionally, Nina was a fantastic server and so kind and attentive. She was still being trained by Jess, both of whom made the experience great! Would definitely recommend!

Wow, all around an incredible experience. Great food, great atmosphere and amazing service. Big shout out to our waitress/server Kelsey, she really doesn’t miss. Super attentive, and kind. We go there and hope to be served by her, she’s always spot on. I don’t know how she’s does it in a place like this. Every weekend the place is BOOMING & she never fails to be one top of refills and making sure we had everything we needed. I’ve made my way around the menu and everything is fantastic, drinks are always great. Service amazing. 10/10 recommend.

Kelsey and Jess are the best! Their attention to detail is appreciated. Their new winter menu is great. Compliments to the chefs who nail it every time. Memphis wings and fish tacos are my go to, but the short rib grilled cheese was incredible!
