    Sidewalk is a local cafe on Vermont offering a variety of excellent lunch options at an elevated prices. While ostensibly a Mediterranean restaurant, Sidewalk offers a variety of eclectic options worth a look. I came with three work colleagues for a Tuesday lunch. A little tired of Mediterranean, I ordered the BBQ Chicken Wrap ($21) with a side Tomato Soup and Mixed Green salad. I was struck by how delicious everything was. The Tomato Soup was fresh, tangy, light, and with a little kick of spice. The salad was fresh with a great dressing. The BBQ Chicken Wrap was delicious and well balanced with tangy barbecue chicken, soft beans and corn, and fresh vegetables. All three components were top notch, and left an excellent impression. The staff was nice and explained the menu. The ambiance was clean and seating breezy. You order from the front, and they deliver to your table. Prices, as stated above, are a little steep, but suddenly become reasonable when you sizing up the quality of the food and proportions. While a little imposing on the wallet, the strength of Sidewalk's menu deserves nothing short of 5/5 stars. Sidewalk Cafe, I will be back. Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5

    Was happy to see they offered dark meat kabobs, that's exactly what I was craving. Breast meat is often too dry for my taste. The chicken was moist and flavorful. They offer lots of sides that looked great. I would skip the roasted potatoes - they were fairly bland and undercooked - or request them cooked well done. The rice and Greek salad were good too. They have a nice big menu, generous portions and kind service. It was a very large portion of chicken. The garlic sauce (which I usually love everywhere I get it) was a bit on the chalky side for me, not sure how they managed that. They could give a bit more pita with this plate. It's a really cute and clean shop with a sweet patio.

    Came in on a Tuesday night and ordered a $24 plate to be split between two people. Koobideh was made to order and took a while, but was high quality and very juicy. The rest of the meal was solid, rice came in a big portion but everything else was a bit small. The patio was a great place to have all to ourself and people watch. Overall a solid experience!

    Quality has unfortunately gone downhill here. I used to order and eat lunch from Sidewalk Grill very often, but I've been consistently let down lately. The biggest issue for me is the salads. The greens taste very low quality, with huge rough leaves that feel cheap and almost pre-made, like they just grill the protein and throw it on top. Their Mediterranean salad used to be my favorite, and there were times I ordered it almost every day, but the quality got bad enough that I stopped. I still like their chicken rice plate, and I usually get it with a Greek salad and hummus on the side, so I do still come back once in a while. But now it feels more like fast food than the fresh Mediterranean spot it used to be. Ambiance-wise, it's nice to sit outside on a sunny day, but there's really no vibe here--it feels like a quick in-and-out spot where people eat fast and leave. The outdoor seating is a plus, but there's no real customer service to speak of. I'm being generous with 3 stars.

    Sometimes all you want is good decent food and a comforting place, Sidewalk is this for me whenever I'm in the hood. Stepped in last night and the place was empty most likely due to the excessive rain as online couriers were bustling about. Sat down and enjoyed their lentil soup which was hot and hearty. Their filet skewer plate was so good with the hummus and garlic butter paste. Great friendly service and really nice interior to sit down and enjoy a meal for one. Thank you again!

    The food was delicious

    Sidewalk Grill was just okay for me. I ordered the koobideh and it was honestly pretty mediocre. Comparing it to Raffi's, which is my favorite Mediterranean spot, this one fell short in flavor. The rice was also just meh and did not stand out at all. The potatoes and garlic sauce were great, but those are also hard to mess up. Service was good and friendly, which I appreciated. Overall I would give it about a six or seven out of ten. It was fine, but nothing memorable. I might try something else if I come back.

    Came to Sidewalk Grill for dinner with my fiancé and had a great experience! We grabbed a paper menu as we walked in and ordered a sirloin plate with hummus and potatoes as sides, then one chicken kabob with no sides (it still came w rice and garlic spread). The service was great and fast; they brought us our food within 10 minutes and it was delicious! Loved the salad dressing and garlic spread. The potatoes were also delicious. Overall, we would definitely come back. Loved the music, there was plenty of seating, and the food/service was perfect.

    We really enjoyed our tomato soups - delicious ! Both the chicken kabob and salmon wraps were tasty. Next time I think I'll ask for garlic sauce on the salmon for me. Yes, definitely a return trip.

    Bavel is an upscale Middle Eastern style cuisine restaurant. It has modern decor with massive ivies…read morehanging down from ceiling planters. It's best to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine here as they are almost always fully at capacity. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. If the weather is not too hot, I recommend sitting outside. Our mistake was choosing the indoors because it gets awfully loud to the point where you can't even hear the server(s) or your own party speak. Truth be told that's the major factor in the minus 1 star as it negatively affected our overall dining experience. 1. Farm Cheese Spread (5/5) The farm cheese was super light and airy. It's seasoned with sumac/fig leaf za'atar, rose petal (mostly for decor than taste) and fresh rosemary. It's served with 2 slices of crispy edged, doughy centered, black sesame bread that's toasted to perfection. 2. Baba Ghanoush (5/5) This is a dip dish made of smoked eggplant, Jimmy Nardello peppers (adds sweetness and smoky flavor), fennel escabeche, dill and olive oil. It's served with sites of fried pita bread. The eggplant was perfectly savory from the grilled onions and non-spicy, smoky flavor of the peppers. The Pita bread is like a fried beignet donut in terms of flavor. Another enjoyable appetizer to share. 3. Oyster Mushroom Kebab (5/5) Amazing smokey, well-charred and juicy mushroom with a nice price tag attached to it, but still worth to enjoy. It's served with avocado-lovage puree and sumac, which paired well with the mushroom flavor. 4. Grilled Octopus (5/5): The octopus tentacles were cooked to perfection - soft & melts in your mouth. It's almost like eating a very soft rice cake with a hint of seafood flavor note. It's served with sides of skordalia potato puree, brocooli, lamb xo sauce and coated in dill to give it a slightly spicy and savory profile. 5. Slow-Roasted Lamb Neck Shawarma (4.5/5) Super tender lamb meat that's also very fatty. It's served with a side of basil-cilantro like sauce, pickled vegetables and tahini sauce which was super creamy and helped to cut the gaminess of the lamb. The dish also comes with a full size laffa bread, which was fresh (made in-house; you can literally see them making it in the background) and pillowy-soft to wrap the lamb meat in. 6. Cherry Sumac & Ricotta cheese pastry (4/5) We ended with a crispy Cherry jam tart. The puff pastry was flaky puff while the cherry jam was tart and sweet. It paired well with their ricotta cheese, which was light and airy and sprinkled with sumac. It also comes with a scoop of Pistachio ice cream that's subtly nutty and floral but was a bit too sweet for our liking. Overall, the food here was good, but the dining environment was too loud for our liking. This place is often compared to Bestia, which we prefer. Fun fact - Bavel and Bestia are owned by the same owners.
