A bar on one side and a dining room on the other, Eastside Social is the radical and nautical seafood restaurant that Leslieville locals are loving. It’s one of those great spaces where the decor matches the culinary theme. Dark wood finishings, a navy accent wall and light fixtures that look like (and could very well be made from) sleek lobster cages. The menu takes influences from a variety of different cuisines. Order the French-style pan seared scallops with lemon beurre blanc sauce, lemon and pea risotto or the Latin-influenced grilled octopus poached with chilies in olive oil, garlic, parsley and lemon. Wash it all down with a delightful beverage from the extensive beer and wine list. If you’re lucky, some summer nights warrant patio seating, and buck a shuck deals happen more than once a week!
