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.

The food was delicious and the servers were friendly; definitely no negative notes from me! I will say my spice tolerance got underestimated and the medium spice I was recommended wasn't all that spicy to me (though it was still delicious!), but that happens basically every time I go to somewhere that serves truly spicy food.
