The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

We want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail.

A great experience for high-end Korean BBQ. The variety of dishes included on the dinner prix-fixe offers an excellent alternative to the traditional steakhouse experience. The front of house team was very attentive and our server cooked the cuts of American wagyu perfectly. I highly recommend for those wanting a unique steakhouse or Korean BBQ experience.

As always Maja was awesome. I will say that the new plating for the hummus is not the best. It’s like a pile of mashed potatoes on the plate. Bring back the OLD bowls, not the deeps soup bowls, please!
