    Loved the Ahi Tuna Tar Tar appetizer. The Beef Stroganoff is yummy! The Chicken Pot Pie is good too, but it's huge-- good to share.

    Ahi tartare was excellent with a sweet and spicy twist. My bf said the avocado burger was the best he's had in a long long time! :)

    Server Oscar is awesome! Exactly opposite experience from 6 weeks ago. This is the typical service we have come to expect from West over the years. Looks like things are turning around at West!

    The scallops are amazing. I pretty much order them every time I go. They also have a really nice wine selection.

    Whatever you do, stay away from the tropical thunder drink. Pineapple and jalapeño infused vodka.... A little too unbearable. But everything else was yummy!

    I didn't love the ahi tartare- way too much mango and tomatoes, one barely tasted the tuna. Go for something else.

    Not sure what is going on at West, but the last 2 times have been awful. Server Stephanie manage to ruin my wife's bday. Poor service, never noticed food was prepared incorrectly. Hideous.

    Sit anywhere but the bar if Stefanie is working. Snobby rude and obviously challenged at bartending. Food was great...drinks and attitude....not so much.
