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.

    Great spot for hanging out at the bar. We were party of 8 coming in Saturday during peak lunch, Service was friendly but a bit slow. Great deals during Restaurant week. Cocktails were made with love and tasty. Decent food but the starters definitely outshined the entrees. Would recommend for happy hour.

    Went with two friends during DMV Restaurant Week for brunch. You could order from Restaurant Week menu or regular menu which was good since one of my friends felt just a main course was enough for her. We enjoyed the food and the service was good. The only thing I would suggest is that if someone orders tea, give them the choices available. The person who got my tea (not my server) didn't ask what I would like and just brought a random tea which was green. I like green tea but it didn't go with my dessert so I had to ask her to replace it. The space kind of has a bar-like vibe so just be aware of that if looking for something brighter.

    Tracy thank you so much for joining us this evening, and for taking the time to write your review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time and we do apologize for our tea options not being listed. We'll have options for you when you visit next, see you soon!

    Our waiter Sebastian was the absolute best! He provided food recommendations that did not disappoint. We had the carrots and brussels small plates. They were both great. We followed them up with the tasty chicken sandwich and the Rambo spice bag. The food and service were great however I was disappointed at the small amount of chicken in the spice bag for the price. Also, please be advised that the Red Apron Table is no longer available. It's an option when making the reservation however the restaurant in currently undergoing renovations.

    This is my second time visiting B Side and not quite as impressed as I was the first time unfortunately. I ordered the fried rotisserie chicken entree and it was severely overcooked. Our waitress was so kind and I didn’t want to disrupt the meal so I didn’t send it back, but I recommend sticking with sandwiches, small plates, and drinks at this Interesting eclectic little place. The burger, chicken wings, fries, and loaded tator tots are yummy!

    I like the location. Parking was easy to get to. Wanted steak frites and they had it on the menu. I ordered a beer and what they brought me wasn't what I ordered. They apologized and quickly replaced it with what I thought I ordered. The frites were nice and crisp and tasty. The steak was ok. It's a cute little place that kind of reminded me of NY cafes.

    Enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but we had to basically get up to get a server’s attention every time. We even had to track down a server to get our initial orders and they were still slow to help. We got 2 drinks in almost 2 hours

    Attentive and fast staff; accommodating. Burgers were excellent - highly recommend for a basic burger. The tater tots were excellent, though one in party said they were greasy. Fries were better than most. Would revisit.
