The Parkside Social is an American restaurant in the Verona neighborhood of Verona.
“All the food was well prepared and presented and delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly, chicken milanese was breaded and fried crispy with balsamic drizzled over arugula and parm shavings. Brick pressed chicken over mashed potatoes was my favorite. Try a potion from the bar, you won't be disappointed.”
“We had our small, intimate Wedding Reception here in August and could not have been more pleased with the food, service, staff and our whole experience! Everyone raved about the food and drinks all night. The staff was so attentive and in point, we didn’t need to ask for anything! They were bringing refills for drinks for our kids without even asking and making sure they were well taken care of. On top of that, the space is immaculate! Super clean and beautiful decor! We are so grateful for the easy planning experience with Melissa and the wonderful staff at The Parkside Social! We will be back for many years to come!”
“happy to have picked this place for dinner with the fam! we went on a weekday so it wasnt so crowded. Perfect since we got smaller kids with us! we sat outside since the August weather was nice that day and made it for happy hour. The food was delicious and was truly a definition of happy hour! lol we got fresh oysters, savory sticky shrimp and wings, and yummy fried pickles! Not to mention service from Michael was simply amazing. He was very pleasant and kind! also patient as we sometimes took a while to decide what to get! for entrees we ordered a bunch since we were a party of 12 but it seems everybody enjoy their food! i know i enjoyed my Cherry Pepper Rigatoni with added shrimp! a tad salty and oily but still good! too bad we didnt try dessert since we brought cake but that maybe another reason to return aside from all the good stuff happening here! oh and both indoor and outdoor settings are just beautiful!”
“Absolutely delicious food and drinks with an incredible ambiance! The “Kiss of Rosè” special drink was a standout — beautifully crafted and a definite must-try. What really sets this place apart is their flexibility: almost every dish can be made gluten-free. Just ask, and they’ve got you covered. Highly recommend the steak sandwich and deviled eggs too — both were packed with flavor!”
“NOT A BIG FAN. Intro We visited this place on a Sunday 4/19 at 3pm, and surprisingly, the entire main restaurant was completely empty except for a party in a separate room to the right. Food The food was overall just okay. The only item we truly didn’t enjoy was the Caesar salad dressing, the dressing had a strange taste and for $16, the portion felt quite small. Almost everything else fell into what I would consider typical American tavern dining nothing particularly memorable or standout. However, the biscuit and gravy with two eggs and a side of bacon jam was the best of them all!!! That dish was absolutely delicious and easily the star of the meal. (1 out 5 things we would order again) Service The service was decent, but there were some noticeable issues. We tried calling the restaurant a few times beforehand since Google Maps listed a 3 PM closing time and our reservation was at 3, but no one answered repeatedly. When we arrived, the entire main restaurant was empty aside from the private party, and the person who greeted us, ended up being our waiter and seemed to also be the bartender. He was kind, but he yawned all throughout the entire service, which came across as a bit different. Additionally, other staff members were gathered nearby the bar speaking negatively about the party in the other room, and I overheard some cursing. That created an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere for me. There was a gentleman in a green shirt who seemed like a manager, who don’t speak, and overall, the staff did not come across as particularly warm, nice or welcoming. Atmosphere The atmosphere felt a bit strange since we were the only diners in the main restaurant. It lacked energy and felt quiet to the point of being uncomfortable rather than peaceful. Because of that, I’m not sure I would return to dine in. Maybe… I might consider ordering the biscuits and gravy to go, but I don’t think I would choose to sit and eat there again.”
