    My husband and I enjoy eating at Sunnyside (since we moved here 7 years ago). We always have good service and the food is better than average. The mellow atmosphere is refreshing.

    Ate here years ago…years ago and it was wonderful. Ate there in April, 09 and it was the worst food I ever had. I work in the “food service” industry and that’s exactly where their dishes came from. Not home made nor chef quality. Will never, never go there again. I’m not adverse to spending money on a quality meal but this was a waste and the decor….Ugh!! horrible, horrible, horrible, depressing….I’ve been in better funeral homes. Ugh!! The only thing good was the mojito.

    My wife and I had our rehersal dinner for our wedding at the sunnyside and the staff did a fantastic job. We recently went there for our 5 year anniversary and we were very well taken care of. We had called and made a reservation and they actually put us in our own little dining room. It was so quiet and nice and the waitress did an awesome job of taking care of us. She made sure our wine glasses remained full and made it a special night. The food was really good as well. I had steak and crab legs, which were prepared perfectly.

    From what I understand – they are adding a deck… not that adding a deck will increase the quality of the food, but perhaps it signifies a ‘different’ direction in the type of food? Places with decks (like the Caddyshack) have a different ‘expectation’ perhaps?

    Formerly the crown jewel restaurant of Carlisle. Now an aging shadow of its former self. They still serve some decent dishes but if they could only revitalize the place by giving it a major face lift.
    Service is so-so from an unenthusiastic staff.

    Lousy restaurant. So-so food and the absolute worst restaurant service I have had in my 40 years. Went there for Valentine’s dinner and they ruined the evening.

    I agree with carlislessilentdiner. Oscar the Grouch won’t even eat at this place. Yes, that bad.

    30 years old for decor and the food was just way over priced for the poor quality

    Used to be THE place in Carlisle. Seems to have lost its way over the years. Needs a good signature dish to give people a reason to go back and try again.
