Awesome experience. Delicious menu. We had the farmer's cheese, jammy eggs, mushroom bread, carrot veggie dish, burger box, pork belly, and the delmonico steak! Devoured ALL of them. burger box was a fave!!!! Ordered one of every dessert- the "dirt" mousse was a suprising fan favorite. Our server was awesome, and we werent rushed at all. we really enjoyed ourselves. The validated $14 valet parking was a game changer and really contributed to positive experience- not having to stress over parking options. we'll be back!

Went to Bright Side for a birthday celebration with friends and had a fantastic time. Wait staff was great and the food was delicious. My friend is vegan so we are sometimes limited in where we can go but we did not have a problem there.

Both the food and wine were excellent. The newly expanded pasta offerings are delicious and very creative. Please keep 'em coming! And, in that regard I respectfully suggest you consider offering a slightly smaller sized sampler platter of your two daily pastas, perhaps coupled with your Happy Hour meatball, for a delightful experience. As well, I suggest you consider offering biscotti with your espresso and cappuccino as a nice accompaniment that rounds out the meal.

The Tavern is lovely and the service excellent. We were especially pleased that you allowed us to share a salad without an extra charge, so we could also order meals.

We used to go to the Oak and Embers in Chesterland, but it recently closed. We tried the Hudson location and were very happy. It is a much nicer location. We were served by Erica and warmly welcomed by Gina. Excellent food. We will be back.

    Special occasion dinner with my wife and two family members. We were welcomed at the door, and while we had a brief wate we were served with glasses of sparkling Prosecco! The evening continued with exemplary wine, food and service and we were even treated to a magnificent cherries jubilee presentation tableside! Our server Mallory was so gracious and informative about the menu with great suggestions, completed by impeccable service. We really appreciated Sam's attention to our special evening and we deeply appreciate her as well.
