Visited SideDoor tonight and Steve was absolutely wonderful. His professionalism, genuine nature, and kindness was amazing. Some people just stand out and Steve is one of those people.

Sidedoor in Corona del Mar is, quite frankly, a delight. The sort of place one rather stumbles upon and immediately decides to linger. The charcuterie is splendidly done, the roasts hearty yet polished, and the wine list jolly well considered. Service strikes that rare balance, attentive without hovering, friendly without presumption. One departs thoroughly satisfied, unhurried, and already scheming the next visit. A proper gem, understated and entirely worth the detour. A cracking little haven, check it out, lads and lasses!

Cool atmosphere, good happy hour options. The service was great. We had a reservation, and they won't seat you unless half of your party is there, which is reasonable. Once our party got there, they seated us right away even though it was super crowded. The Pride of the Crowns salad is so good! Will return.

Side door is the ultimate gateway to Lowery's Prime Rib. While tied to the Restaurant Five Crowns, you can cozy up in a pub like atmosphere and still enjoy the best prime ribe there is. The service is excellent, with Michael and Andrew making you stellar cocktails if you are blessed to go on a night where both are working the bar. Pliny the elder on tap is a huge draw for me personally as well. Don't forget room for dessert too! 5 stars, I am a huge fan!

The Side Door menu is a subset of its parent restaurant, Five Crowns. It is a small venue with wonderful but limited menu items. Personal favorites are the prime rib sandwich and the wedge salad. Additionally, they have delightful cheese pairings to go with their extensive wine menu. It can be energetic and noisy, and it is a great place to wait for a more formal dining experience at the 5 Crowns next door. There is a small fire place.
