    Tyl was one of the best waitress/waiters we've had the pleasure of meeting: She's extremely efficient, knowledgeable and efficient. When we asked for her opinion on various selections on the menu, she knew exactly what she thought for our tastes. Tyl is a major asset to both the restaurant and the brand. The food is always the same quality as aspected. We highly recommend both The Broadside Restaurant and Tyl . You won't be disappointed

    Last night my wife and I went here for dinner. Our server was Tyana and she was absolutely amazing. The food here is also incredible. If you’re looking for a slightly more expensive date night I couldn’t recommend a better place! Definitely coming back next time we are down here.
