    Absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I met the event coordinator to book with them for our 2025 wedding. Just before signing the contract, we decided to try some of their dishes to make sure we liked their palette. We were very surprised by how good everything was. Freshness, flavour, uniqueness. Everything was delicious. The staff was so kind to us and helped us navigate through the menu options. The ambiance is also amazing. Cozy but modern decor. We can’t wait to get married at Sidedoor!

    It was my second visit to LTTD and bringing friends. An excellent evening, on all levels. The food was delicious( as last time) and the timing of service perfect. My friends who are very discerning about where they dined were duly impressed and mentioned they will mention it to their families to try. I will certainly be back with them. Booked to dine with other friends in December and ring in the holidays!
