    Kathy the waitress was very attentive and accommodating. My main course was tasty but was lukewarm at best. Portions could be slightly larger. The wine selection is very good. This is a great place for wine and small bites, but if you're really hungry you might have to order several things.

    Once again, an amazing dining experience at Otherside Wine Bar. Cathy our server was so knowledgeable and provided wonderful service. The chef here is so talented! Everything from the carrots, radicchio salad, dips, to the pasta bolognese, and THAT BURGER….wow! We were so pleased with our meal. Food it’s creative, so flavorful and satisfying. The space is so cool and cozy and the vibe is awesome. Oh and the wines are delish. Run, don’t walk!

    This place is a go-to coffee shop during the day and has now become a favorite local dinner spot in the evening. The service here is unmatched. The staff is always incredibly warm and welcoming. They are all well versed in their vast selection of natural wines. The house made specials never disappoint. Ask for Kathy with a K, she is thee best!

    Personally I love a good old fashioned wine bar. It’s like traveling to simpler times. This particular wine bar was no exception… a place clearly created out of passion and joy and not simply to run a business. My husband and I enjoyed hand made lasagna that was outrageous, paired with fresh sour dough and washed down with a remarkably tasty sparkling wine. So good we even had a second glass and were very very surprised to find no hang over the next morning, perhaps due to the fact that Other Side sources all natural and/or organic wines often from small scale wineries (something I adore). Lastly, the server was wonderful and engaging. We felt as the though we were having dinner with an old friend. Will definitely be back!

    Found my new favorite place tonight!! From the moment I walked in I knew I would love dinner tonight. The vibe is so cozy with warm wood tones and subtle lighting making you feel like you are dining at a dear friend’s place in New England. Kathy, our superb waitress was great in describing the dishes and helping us choose. We dived into the wine flight which helped create our own pairing menu. Started with Caesar salad and then slow roasted carrots on top of ricotta - truly an outstanding dish. The squid ink pasta was delicious and the scallop special melted in my mouth. We didn’t have room for dessert and will definitely be back soon for another meal which will include dessert. Excited to have such an excellent offering close to home.

    My wife, son and I came to Otherside for my birthday dinner last night and it was fantastic! From the atmosphere to the excellent service by Kathy to the delicious wines and food from starters to entrees, we highly recommend a meal or celebration there. We’ll definitely be back for drinks at the bar or another great meal in the restaurant.

    First time here and won’t be my last. Wonderful setting in a renovated historic home. Service was five star- our server Cathy was knowledgeable and attentive. Food fresh and homemade. We had arrincini balls that were the best we ever had. Huge burger and veggie burger, one with a delicious salad and the other well done, crispy fries. Organic wines and extensive beer menu. Can’t wait to return.
