CITYSIDE BISTRO is an eatery in historical downtown Jersey City, NJ. It is located in the financial district near exchange place. CITYSIDE BISTRO was opened by Micheal Sims Jr. He emailed me one day and told me to try out his new fall menu for CITYSIDE BISTRO, which just opened about 3 months earlier. As soon as I got the message to join him, I called immediately to let him know that I would love to taste and experience this fall menu and to give some input. What critic wouldn't? After tasting the dishes, some had made the list of tasteful and some did not. This blog is to tell you what dishes you might find in CITYSIDE BISTRO'S upcoming fall menu.The good ones of course, I wouldn't steer you wrong.

1. LOBSTER AND CRAB PIZZA - This is a sensational upgrade to the everyday pizza. You taste the flavors of the lobster and crab with every bite. Even with these full flavors of the seafood combined together, you are still reminded that it is a pizza with its crunch and all the components of the dough, yeast, crust, and etc. are not overwhelmed with only the taste of the crab and lobster.

2. PORK CHOP WITH BRANDY SAUCE - The Brandy sauce in this dish was delightful. Not too strong and full flavor in every bite. The pork chop was so tender and perfectly cooked, cutting it was like cutting butter. Delicious. This dish is also served with some roasted potatoes that do absorb all the light brandy sauce perfectly.

3. STUFFED PORTOBELLO WITH SHRIMP, FETA CHEESE, AND TRUFFLE OIL DRIZZLE. - Now for this dish, I just want to stay that I am a sucker for mushrooms. Especially portobello. If you want to get on my good side, please serve me this dish. The portobello mushroom was full of flavor. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. Garlic flavor brings out the mushroom's natural earthiness and the fragrance enhances it. The feta cheese balances with its creamy and saltiness in this dish.

4. WARM BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO SALAD - If anything says fall it would be the butternut squash salad. It contains a variety of components such as roasted peppercorns, red peppers, onions, and shallots.  The crunch of the bacon bits and sweetness from the sweet potato will welcome you into the fall season with just one forkful of this salad.
