Miracle On Bloomfield At The Parkside Social

Parkside is a great neighborhood bar and kitchen. It has great ambiance without being too pretentious or too bar cliche and the service is great. I came for dinner and had a great meal. The menu is the perfect size so you don’t have to debate over too many options, but enough choices for anyone. If there is no parking on Bloomfield Ave, South Prospect is a good option right at the light for easy crossing.

This restaurant has unfortunately gone downhill. Used to have incredibly delicious food, including their steak frites dish that used to be served with pecorino and rosemary fries. This evening my wife and I were served poorly cooked steak with basic microwave French fries. Incredibly disappointed in this restaurant's decline.

My wife I went for dinner last night. Last time we were there was in '22. Our server Emma was tip top! Very sweet too! We both had the burgers with truffle fries and Docs hard cider. The burgers were large, juicy, delicious! I mean REALLY good! The truffle fries were perfect. You can 't beat an ice cold Docs cider either! We were both pretty full but decided to have coffee tea and, glance at the dessert menu. The glance turned into sharing an order of doughnuts with a chocolate mousse whip cream on the side! In '22 I wasn 't thrilled with the coffee but they fixed that as it was just fine.We 'd go back tomorrow just for the burgers! ?

Good atmosphere, but has decreased in quality ever since opening. It’s basically a corporate restaurant package that someone bought, so ends up being pretty impersonal for a suburban bar. Also insane there are no changing tables in the bathrooms; not sure how a place like this survives being hostile to families with young kids.

Loved the bartender on Friday night, welcomed us as soon as we set down at the bar and it wasn’t very busy. Before we left the bar was packed but his attention to us never wavered. We shared the burger and it was cooked just as we ordered. Great spirit collection and enjoyed a new Japanese whiskey. Loved that even though it got crowded we could still carry a conversation. We parked on the side street and didn’t have any trouble. A few meters available out front. Back patio with string lights would be nice when the weather heats up. Definitely would go back, great first visit!
