We’re new to town and this place looked yummy! So glad we stopped in! I’m not one for pimento cheese, but this one KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK . The bacon jam and sausage is also great! The Roll Tide shrimp are delicious as well!!! Also go by and see Laggarrius at the bar, he’s AWESOME!

Five stars because I can’t give 4.5 and only the extra .5 because our SERVER made it a good experience. Initially the bread that came with the baked pimento cheese was old and chewy so we told our sever and he brought out fresh baked bread. It tasted delicious! I had the Joyce Farms chicken and my husband had the tuna special. It was well cooked and we enjoyed the flavor of the food. I specially liked that mine had a lot of good veggies with it. We also had dessert. They were out of the sorbet that my husband wanted because he can’t have dairy but they brought us a different flavor and didn’t charge him for it. I had the chocolate mousse which was delicious. We will probably go back some day.

Good place to get quality food if living or visiting Tuscaloosa area. It is inside of the Marriott. Great service as well. Price is a tad on the expensive side, however.

01/25/2025: It was my first time there. You have to enter through Embassy Suites hotel. I made a reservation but it wasn’t needed, there was only one couple when I arrived. The jazz music was perfect. I was looking for “fine dining,” but this wasn’t a bad choice. The dining area is large, but the bar seats 10 people at best. There was a bathroom inside the restaurant and it was clean. But the lock on the accessible bathroom needs repair. I had to lean on the door and jiggle the lock to engage it.

Maitlon was my server. He was patient and worked with the bartender (a lady) to find a drink I would like. She ended up creating something and it was tasty.

Maitlon helped me choose between different menu items.
I had the flank steak w/mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was medium and tender. Maitlon delivered my meal with a steak knife. Which is rare because most restaurants don’t serve your food with a proper steak knife.
I had lemon cheesecake with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. There was a solid lemon flavor to the cheesecake. The berry compote had a good texture and was not thin. The whipped cream was fluffy and the pistachios were ground to a good texture.

Overall, it was a good experience. The meal was just under $70 for one person. The staff (Maitlon and the bartender) were friendly and patient with all of the guests. One suggestion would be to add a bread basket while you wait for your entree. I’ll slip in to try a burger next time.

The experience was chaotic from start to finish. The menu is limited, and the food was mediocre. Our group of four families (13 people total) asked to have the check split evenly across four cards — a simple request that turned into a 30-minute ordeal. Initially, three cards were charged the same amount while the fourth was significantly higher. After repeated explanations and corrections, it finally balanced out, but only after a frustrating delay. The manager never once came by to assist, and it was unclear whether our server ever fully understood what we were asking. Overall, very disappointing and poorly managed.

Overall, their food is delicious, but the quality of the food and the variety on the menu has varied a lot over the years. The current menu has removed many of their most delicious items, and narrowed down the menu options, which is disappointing. We especially miss the fried green tomatoes and the crab cakes. I recommend the the gumbo and any of the pastas!!

TAKE CAUTION. After a long day of running around the city with the kids, we decided to eat here for dinner. We arrived a few minutes after opening with some excitement for being the first guests of the day. I aways like to check the children’s orders before they dive in. This particular day, our little person downed a chicken tender while the food inspection was happening. To my shock, the remaining chicken fingers were not fully cooked. I informed the onsite supervisor (no manager on site at the time) who apologized, reordered the meal, and comped the ticket for only the children’s meals. At that point, the fear of having a sick child post consuming raw chicken turned our experience sour.

Ask for Justin! He’s amazing. Works the bar, makes a perfect vodka martini and runs the floor! Great place for happy hour and dinner!

A group of us enjoyed a nice, quiet evening at Side by Side. No line, no wait on a Wednesday night. We visited before and noticed the menu is quite different BUT they still have nice options. I ordered shrimp and grits– every bite was delicious. My plate was full and I could not eat it all.

Not pictured: the fried green tomatoes and calamari were tasty starters.

I recommend a visit for anyone who has not dined here in a while.
