The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

We loved our dinner at Nue! The food was delicious and fresh. We got the family style new years dinner menu and it was perfect. The manager and waitstaff were so kind and friendly— really added to the experience. There is also a fun dice game for new years and my friends won a prize! All in all the experience felt great and we will definitely be back.

Enjoyed our brunch experience here. The food options are plentiful and taste very good. Lots of options for different preferences. Make a reservation. The drinks are pretty expensive - I wish they had a bottomless or multiple option.

Another excellent experience with TFK! I decided to try something new today (curry bowl) as recommended by Dominic and could not have been happier. The flavors were outstanding and just right. Big shout out to Dominic who is always prompt, friendly, and professional no matter how busy his section may be. THANK YOU Dominic and staff!!!

Food was extraordinary...convinced my wife to try the Wagyu A5 duo (there was a stiff supplement) -- I went with the Confit/Foie Gras app. My app was simply brilliant. Her app made us swoon (yes, I got one taste, but I feared for my life if I tried for more). Main of Dover Sole was very good for me, but the truffle risotto for herself...outrageous! Desserts were masterpieces worthy of photography -- but we don't do that. As always, front/back of the house were top-notch. Recommend Julio and Mark as great servers.
