              Service was great, but it’s really pricey, which is fine if the food is yummy, but the food is not great. You pay for the view and the ambience. Summer is always best because you can be on the deck, but the food indeed could use some work.. if there was more great dining on the Westshore Sunnyside Wood be very wounded from a food perspective. Cocktails are always great, but they’ve rested on their laurels for the last 40 years or longer.

              Calamari is amazing as was everything else. Particularly impressed with their ribs (I’m from texas so no small feat) and the fish and chips (perfectly done and not unappetizingly greasy). The sticky toffee dessert was an OMG for the entire family. Everything was way above our expectations and we will definitely be back soon.

              We had a really nice, casual dinner. The server was by herself in a busy dining room but managed to keep everyone happy, including the party of 12! I had the Beetroot Pinot which was good, hubby had a beer. He started with the Caesar which had plenty of anchovies (special request). The salad was good, if a little small for $15. I had the Tahoe Buddha Bowl with salmon which was outstanding. Hubby had the tacos. They were really good but only two. Enough with a salad. We will absolutely be back!

              Reservations for 5:45pm, so we went to the bar. It took 30 minutes to get a drink as they were understaffed. Finally got seated for dinner at 6:15pm, 30 minutes late. Fries Calamari appetizers came out ice cold. Management did not seem present, if they were, did not seem concerned. Not a good night for Sunnyside.
