Every Wednesday Sidecar has a Neighborhood Night with a 3 Course Menu Special which they email you ahead of time in order for you to have time to make a reservation if you think you would enjoy the items mentioned. This Wednesday, the appetizer was Seared Sea Scallops, the main entrée was Beeler's Duroc Pork Chop, and for dessert Biscoff Ice-cream. I happen to like these three items so I decided to make a reservation and go try out this restaurant for the first time. I arrived at 5:00pm sharp to my reservation and was greeted by the friendly host with a welcome smile. I was impressed by the warm atmosphere of the place with lots of wood accents and hunter green painted wall lined up with booths on one side and a long bar with many stools on the other side. At front there are a couple of small rooms with a few tables as well. The host took me to one of the booths in the center of the restaurant and the waiter came by to introduce himself and bring a glass of cold water that had a wonderful taste. In water the more tasteless it is makes for the best taste. I told the waiter that I was going to have the Neighborhood Night Menu of the Day and I also ordered a few slices of a Baguette with butter to start with while I waited for the food to be ready. The Seared Sea Scallops appetizer arrived and was outstanding. The waiter came by my booth at the appropriate times to check on me and fill my glass of water with more cold water. The Pork Chop main course was a nice size and very tasty. I was very satisfied with the portion size and with the flavorful cuisine. After feeling full and very satisfied with the food. I asked for the dessert that was truly a sweet complement to complete this wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for when you want to have a nice gourmet dinner, alone or with family and friends.

This is our favorite date night spot! It’s always consistently great food and service. Their charcuterie board is our favorite, but we’ve never had a bad meal here. 10/10 recommend!! Can’t wait to go back ?

So, I have been trying to find a culinary experience that impresses me and I have tried all restaurants in Roanoke, Abingdon Restaurant scene and Gordon Ramsay's place in Atlantic City, NJ and haven't been impressed. I came to Sidecar on a Wednesday when there is no corkage fee to pop a special bottle that was given to me and the three course special that was on the menu this night(3/6/24) was phenomenal from start to finish. Our service(Zac) was top notch and this is not the first great experience I have had here. Thank you for the great experience!Vegetarian options: Pretzels, cauliflower, orecchiette pasta

What an amazing meal and experience. Last night of restaurant week and the bar and dining area were packed, but not one employee lacked a smile. Hannah really made us feel special and went out of her way to make sure our evening was unforgettable.The steak au poivre was the only picture I remembered to take (this time), but the salad with pear and goat cheese, raw oysters, and chocolate moose were so delicious and gone before I could capture their memory.I'll be back here very soon!

truly excellent restaurant I was surprised to find while stopped in Roanoke. Sat at the bar and the service was phenomenal. Had the burger and bison osso bucco, both were good. Cocktails really stand out here and I loved the belgian beers on tap.

My friends were already at the restaurant, however after I arrived it took the waitress 15 mins to come to the table to take my drink order. She was not attentive to our table and the food was cold ! I will not return !

I cannot say enough great things about our experience at Sidecar! The beautiful ambiance and attention to detail with the decor matched the tediously curated menu. The service was absolutely outstanding and was the highlight of our night.Chef rotates the food and wine menu every few months and the winter menu did not disappoint! We started with a beautiful charcuterie board and had seafood that was pristine, fresh, and delicate! The wine selection was pleasantly complimentary of any menu item. There are thoughtful selections for any craving and many dietary restrictions! (GF here)Most importantly, the service was exceptional and Zack really tied everything together for us. He united the atmosphere with the food and wine delivering a truly memorable and unique experience. With almost 30 shared years in food service, we were blown away with this entire visit!We 10/10 recommend and will absolutely return soon!
