    It was my birthday, i had decided to take me and my friends there, our waitress Tamara was very rude. She stereotyped my whole friend group about the payment methods and gave us one plate for a group of six for appetizers. She didn’t provide the basics of waitressing there, like refillling our drinks and providing straws and grating cheese on our food. We had to ask for it although the other tables she had served were given it right away. She had rushed everyone and threw the takeout boxes on the tables. She was very uninterested when a friend had mentioned my birthday and was only being genuine when we complained to the manager.

    My daughter has loved East Sides for years ao we went tad a family on the weekend. We mentioned to our waitress we need cutlery and we thought she went off to grab us some however she walked by multiple times and never brought any over. I went to the prep area to grab some. We had to ask for bread as she didn’t bring any. The portions are much smaller than they used to be. My daughter’s pasta as barely cooked. My husband and I got lasagna. It was a third of the size it used to be and was not lasagna. It was a layer of noodles with meat sauce and cheese on top. A sad day for East Sides.

    Poor service and under staffed. 3 of 4 meals were not prepared properly or served at same time. My family was not Impressed at all. I will not recommend this location.

    We go every month or two and today's meal was just ok compared to other trips. Portions were smaller and not as saucy as usual. Caesar salad came out in a dessert bowl. Must have just been busy.

    Emily is always a great server. Food never fails. Only disappointment is their loaf isn't as garlicky as I'd like and the butter doesn't taste like real butter. But I still love the place. Great value.
