The Side Bar by Miskay

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗱: 1. The staff is polite and friendly, which enhanced the experience. 2. The food is simple yet delicious which should work for most people's cravings. 3. The ambience offers a private and cosy seating, you can't see your neighbour. 4. The prices are reasonable, at around 25,000 for two meals, providing good value for money. 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 1. Cooking Time: Meals took longer to prepare than expected. 2. Tired Staff: One staff was a little short tempered with us at the end. Overall, SideBay offers a nice ambience, good food, and service that mostly meets expectations. I'm planning a return visit and will recommend to someone who wants good value for their money

Excellent place to visit with a group of friends if you don't want to waste money. Their menu is quite rich in varieties, and well organized. I went there with my wife and friend and we had their Sunday Brunch package, awesome stuff. The staff was very professional and prompt. The environment was so neat and beautiful. You'll get really enviable photos if you go with a green/white outside. We accidentally discovered this. Generally, this is a lovely place and I'll love to visit again when I am in Lagos.

Firstly, maps took us to the wrong place! But I had that corrected so it's all good! 📍 Parking has to be strategic to ensure you don't get disturbed. So those coming to shop at the Boutique would definitely leave before those who came to eat. So ensure you park close to the building to prevent having to repark. Once that was done I noticed it was literally a 'side' bar and it's quite creative. The pictures on SM created a bigger than life impression but it's space that was well managed 👌🏽. The ambience is lovely and the decor is tastefully done. The greenery gave a natural feeling which helps perceive the space as bigger than it actually is. The opaque roofing also helped make things 'bigger'. We did the Sunday Brunch. The Short Ribs Croquette was good, I enjoyed it. The Jerk Chiken Pasta was great though the spice me a bit slower at eating. The waffle and chicken was great as well and the chicken wings fantastic 🤤. We had to return the complimentary mimosa as we were teetotalers so we got Concentrate Juice and Water. Definitely a place you'd want to take pictures in as we saw a lot of ladies doing. 📷

I had a lovely Girls’ Dinner Date on a Saturday night here. It’s a cute sidebar right beside the Miskay Boutique. The food quality was pretty good and the prices were decent. You wouldn’t be breaking the bank to enjoy a three-course meal here. I particularly loved the Salted Caramel Cookie I had for desert. It was more sweeter than salty, a blend of crunchy and soft, quite dense with the vanilla ice cream on top. I will definitely visit this sidebar again soon. P.S If you happen to have claustrophobic tendencies, do well to be very prepared. It’s a cute place with not so much space, so it can get very tight.

Food - 3/5 Value - 3/5 Service - 2/5 Ambience - 3/5 The Sunday evening we visited, the music was extremely loud and we were practically shouting to be able to hear each other despite sitting next to each other. It gave me a mild headache. The food was slightly overpriced for the quality in my opinion but it was nice. The chicken, however, was overcooked and over-seasoned; and, the garlic bread was made with a sweet bread which really did not work well. The service wasn’t bad per se and I really wouldn’t fault it but the food took an age to arrive and wasn’t ready at the same time either. We waited a really long time, got restless and fed up, had to share (and subsequently) finish one meal before the others came out which was a shame. The restrooms are inside the boutique next door which is not that inconvenient but the restrooms themselves are ill-equipped. No toilet roll, no way of drying hands after washing. It’s really awkward, to be honest. The restaurant is really pretty but it’s such an afterthought that it would probably have been better as a take out only establishment or diner style…
