"I have been there twice in less than 3 months to celebrate special occasions. The second time took my daughter and she was disappointed that they didnt have kids menu. She found something she liked but I think they should considered adding a kids menu. Overall, it was a good experience"

"I loved being able to make a reservation on line. I was early and they were able to seat us right away. I have been here many times for our anniversary dinner and I'm never dissapointed. The menu has a great variety of seafood, chicken and steaks. The food is fresh and the sauces and cheeses add a perfect touch the dish."

"We had a very tasty dinner here; we both had the specials: mine was lobster/corn chowder, with a side of asparagus and a salad. The side of asparagus was a bit puzzling; 6 spears, well-cooked, but somehow out of place with a soup and salad; better as a side on a hot dish. Soup broth was almost too rich, deeply flavored, loads of cream. Way too much cheese on the Caesar salad. My husband's special was a little less satisfactory; swordfish, a treat for us (at $24), was just a tad over-cooked. It was on a small bed of rice, and then - very oddly - topped with a serving of COLD not very interesting cole slaw. Not very complementary flavors, and cold salad on hot fish just doesn't go. The bread was outstanding; warm, very fresh."

"Easide Grill has always been a favorite of mine, for many years!! This past time, the service was excellent. The appetizer, fried oysters, were yummy and perfect, salad great too. Then i got my meal, and was disappointed. I sent the crawfish etouffe back, i am probably spelling this wrong !!I re-ordered blackend scallops and steak, the steak was raw,so, well, what happens when you send your meal back, it spoils the dining experience.The scallops were done great, and i had the steak leftover w/ my hubby the next night,and it was perfect!!!When we go out and pay alot for a meal we expect the whole dining experience to be great. If I was the owner I would have given a discount on the bill to make it right. It may be a bit before we go back."

"I agree with a number of other reviewers that this is ok, but not great. It was nice to be able to make a reservation, although Northampton was not busy anywhere last night and we could have gone anywhere. Often the wait is so long at other restaurants that being able to make a reservation is worth it. The service was excellent, as were the squash and apple soup and the squash ravioli. I ordered the seafood risoto, that a number of diners had commented on favorably. I found it bland and kept adding salt. Given the number of outstanding restaurants in Northampton, I would only go again if the town were very busy and making a reservation was essential."

"Simply put, I have been going to the Eastside Bar & Grill since the early 90's. I have NEVER had a bad meal. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Northampton. I love the atmosphere and mostly the fine prepared dish."
