    We love the Wine Cellar! Service is always fabulous, cocktails on point and dinner was divine. I had the scared ahi. Hubby had chicken marsala, friend had the special stuffed pork hop and her hubby had a filet. Everyone was happy and full.

    The cashew chicken salad was delicious! The lavender & lemon “Refresher” mocktail was a perfect accompaniment. We arrived at 11:30 and it was nice and quiet. It became more loud and lively as the place filled up. Tip: It is one of the few local restaurants open on Monday, so a reservation is a must! Parkside remains one of my favorite lunch spots. 👍🏻

    All good was good. Be aware it can take a long time and dishes won’t come out at same time. We ordered a burger and a steak for the mains, the steak came out almost 30 mins after the burger

    Rather unique Indian fusion .interesting food combinations lots of choices. Great Nan. They need some more work as dishes didn't have all the ingredients listed. Generous wine pours. Good prices. Helpful and kind staff. . Outside dining is on the street side . Not very inviting. Inside is very clean and spacious with a bar. I say it's worth a try for something different
