We visited for Kareoke and a bite to eat. We didn't realize there was a waitress working so after waiting a few, we went to the bar to order some sodas as we were parched. I did notice that the waitress did come out and offered other patrons menus as they entered several times but did not come to our table. We later asked for a menu but again, waitress never came to table to take an order. We asked the bartender for an appetizer thinking we would get some food going. Waitress never came. We sang and returned to the bar for drinks but the table was filled with cups, a plate and 30 dollars in pull tabs. I bused the table. We spent around 85 dollars. 55 was bar tab. Bartender was great and we enjoyed socializing with so many nice patrons of the bar. This place is like a real life cheers. Good bunch of folks! Left a bit confused as to why waitress wouldn't stop at our table. First time at Sids and not from nearby. I would have liked to eat a meal but ended up skipping dinner. Also, I'm a generous tipper but could not justify leaving a tip on a table abandoned by any service whatsoever. What gives? I get not wanting to "share" tips but the place was packed and we had to stand in line for subsequent drinks as the bartender was so busy. Good way to loose money for the bar and the staff. We would have spent double with a waitress serving us and would be happy to tip you both for...
Read moreGarbage place. Had a party of 8, waited 45 minutes to sit, that's fine, but it took another 30 minutes to get a waitress, I had to ask if we could get a waitress. Vanessa (that's the name that was on our receipt, not 100% that she was actually out waitress) came up with a horrible attitude when I asked if we could get service (people that came in after us were getting food before we had even ordered) she didn't write anything down and assured us that she was good at her job, half of our orders were wrong or missing things and when we brought that up she told us that WE were wrong and didn't say that, not that she was wrong. VANESSA was nasty and rude the entire time. Food tasted like frozen trash bar food but they charged $13 for fries and a sandwich. Could have accepted it if it wasn't for Vanessas trash attitude and acting like she was actually good at her job. We will never go back, place wasn't busy enough to warrant this, watched 3 servers stand and hit their vapes and talk about the vape in the middle of the floor instead of helping us (before we had the unfortunate luck of getting Vanessa). FINE FOOD IS A LIE. I'd rather try my luck in a dumpster behind a...
Read moreDisappointing Service at the Upstairs Bar
I was really looking forward to checking out the upstairs bar at Syd's, but unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. When we arrived, the bartender was wiping down tables, and my friend politely asked how ordering worked—whether we should tell her or go to the bar. Instead of a simple explanation, she responded, "It's called go up to the bar and get a drink!" The tone was abrupt and unwelcoming, immediately making my friend regret coming in.
The atmosphere itself was fine, but the service left much to be desired. On top of that, the restroom stalls on the main level had no toilet paper, which is just basic upkeep that shouldn’t be overlooked. We couldn’t help but compare it to our experience at Bar Ellis earlier, where the staff was friendly, the drinks were better priced, and the overall experience was far more enjoyable. Safe to say, next time, we’ll be heading back...
