Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Me and my family visited Side House last night and it was a very pleasant experience. The cocktails were amazing and the view across the harbour was sublime. Even though we were eating somewhere else that night Darren one of the staff organised a boat to take us to the restaurant, it just happened to be at sunset and was my girlfriends 40th birthday we all loved the boat trip and it was only £20 needless to say I got a lot of brownie points for that one.
We didn’t get to sample the food but we are on our way there now so I will report back but for atmosphere and genuine helpful staff this bar can not be touched.
If you end up here ask for Darren he’s the one with the tight fade 😂 he’s also great with kids

Perfect!
Super Food quality and Good prices.
Atmosphere is wonderful and the staff excellent. I ordered the most expensive Steak but they reccomended to avoid because with this temperature it was frozen and the taste not perfect! This is something you don t find everywhere.
Location is amazing

We visited a couple of time on our holiday once in the day time for drinks and once for evening dinner and drinks and both times we felt so privileged to be sat in such a beautiful location enjoying love food or drink and being welcomed by really friendly staffs prices are a premium but all the restaurants and bars on the harbour are of the same price range. Their free bread and meze dips that you get everywhere in turkey before your meal here are by far the best I’ve ever had, they use focaccia bread instead of balloon bread and the dips are homemade and so vibrant and fresh tasting. Highly recommended for drinks and food. And the live band was great too

We came yesterday to celebrate March 8 (international Women's day) with my fiance and her mom.
1. Very slow service.
2. Mai tai cocktail had zero alcohol. Server was arguing with me about it, I am pretty sure cause I was driving and didn't drink any alcohol, so I tasted it and it was like sweet drink for kids.
3. We were waiting for food for over an hour, finally I asked restaurant helper and server came and replied that it will be no food. He said he just found seafood we ordered is not possible to make, that's after hour of waiting. He offered me to pay for cocktail only, so coffee and tea was on him due to this mistake.
Total experience was not good. Location is beautiful, I love this part of Side so much, but really worst restaurant in Turkey.

Side House Bar is a wonderful bar, live entertainment and fantastic hosts and staff. We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Would highly recommend their caramel iced coffee if you don’t want alcohol.
Well done Side House Bar - you have started again. See you in February if not before

Side house was an amazing place. From the food which were the best steaks we had ever had to the service (from Alex and his team) and care to make our children roses out of paper napkins - we totally enjoyed our meal.
The scenery is absolutely breathtaking aswell.
Definately the best restaurant in side

My family and I came here for my birthday and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant. We had the most amazing view of the sunset. Alex and all the staff were brilliant, really good with my two boys (who loved the bars dog scooby!) Food was wonderful and atmosphere was fantastic with some chilled out music beforehand and then some great live music after. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We just love this place! Whenever we have stayed at Sensatori we always go into lovely Side town and to this fabulous bar. It's 4 years since we last visited and this time decided to also eat here.
We were reserved a lovely table up on the terrace decorated with petals and a beautiful sunset view.
Food was delicious and service excellent from Mateo.
We then took a table in the bar and were were entertained by the brilliant live band and the fabulous guys who work here, thanks especially to Ferari.
We highly recommend for a great evening - good food and cocktails, great band but above all the guys make it such fun and are so welcoming. We'll be back next time we stay in Side!

we booked a table here because it's a popular location, sat right by the sea to watch a beautiful sunset. our table had been prepared with rose petals and a heart ❤️ ( nice touch as we are in our 60's).
my husband said best steak he has had in many years. I opted for a halloumi burger that didn't disappoint. we were made to feel relaxed and was given a nice gap between courses. would definitely recommend you book a table, live music starts about 9pm.
we enjoyed it so much we have booked again, Alex was very attentive and took care of us like we were his only customers.

My husband had researched where to go and found this place recommended on Tripadviser with all it's amazing reviews so we decided to visit for lunch whilst on a trip into Side which required two buses to get there from where we were staying. It did not disappoint and in fact, was so good we stayed into the evening and got a taste of how lively and fun the evenings are. The waiters were super friendly and we had the best Anatolian chicken Kebab for our lunch. As we were leaving, we got chatting to Suleyman about how we wanted to come back the following evening for dinner. He offered to send a taxi to pick us up - we had heard about this happening at various places and I had spoken to a local tour guide whilst on a trip about it. He basically said "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is and they'll recoup that money from somewhere'. We decided to take the chance anyway as we wanted to go back so much and the second bus was so horrendously hot, we didn't fancy doing it that way again. Their generosity turned out to be 100% genuine. They sent a taxi, texting to let us know it had arrived. A waiter met us at the drop off point (it's a pedestrianised town) and then hired a golf buggy to take us as far as possible and we walked with him to the restaurant. We had the best night; a table on the balcony, amazing food and drinks, great service and were moved downstairs to a prime position when the live music started. The fireworks shown in the photos are a nightly occurrence and the waiters must do the same dance and entertainment each night, but they keep it fresh and there's such a great atmosphere. If you want a lively evening, it's the place to go. All the other restaurants pale into insignificance by comparison. I can't recommend highly enough and would go back in a heartbeat!

Really nice spot for food right on the front of Side Harbour with great views. Food was amazing and staff were really friendly. Me and my partner opted for the Chateaubriand and the steak was cooked perfectly and was a really good portion. Would 100% recommend. Suleyman served us and was really friendly and helpful.

I liked the place very much. Very tasty cocktails, I’ve never tried like this. They brought nuts to us which is very nice! Shisha at the highest level, indeed a person knows his business and understands how to do it. I want to say a lot of thanks to all the staff, very well working.

We happened across this bar when in Side. So glad we stopped for drinks. The staff are amazing, friendly & funny. My Husband enjoyed vodka & coke & I had the lovely Angels wings cocktail. It was his Birthday the next day, and we wanted somewhere nice to eat & drink. The staff & the lovely drinks made us choose there so we reserved a nice table. My husband got a little cold as the sun went down & one of the staff loaned him his fleece. We returned for Dave's Birthday meal & weren't disappointed. He had the bolognese & I had the Calamari. Both were fabulous. We also had the cheesey Garlic bread which was delicious! More cocktails & great live music were enjoyed and the staff got my Husband up surrounded him with fireworks, the band played Happy Birthday & the staff picked him up & gave him the bumps. They really made an effort. Highly recommend this fabulous bar/restaurant.

Myself and partner visited Side for a holiday last week, the harbour is one of the most beautiful places with an incredible sunset and some really top quality restaurants. However we like a drink and Side house was right up our street. Easily the liveliest bar in the harbour with some excellent cocktails, great music (from around the world) and a great group of staff. In what is rather ‘testing’ times this place really was the closest to the old normality it could have been. Darin at the front desk took us in with open arms and made sure our glasses were never empty he is a proper ‘Geezer, fridge freezer’
