West Restaurant + Bar

Tried their seasonal three course set menu for $39 and it was great. Chef's complimentary beet mousse was bit salty. Oysters were very fresh but with pre-added sauce, it wasn't as refreshing as typical oyster sauce. Two main courses I tasted were awesome. I loved my pork as it was perfectly cooked. The meat was very soft and Juicy. I tried chocolate soufflé for my dessert. This was the best dessert I tried so far. The staffs were friendly and the restaurant was kind enough to let our big group to come in 30 minutes before their regular hours so we are on our company event schedule.

We came here after hearing they would be closing down soon, which is unfortunately because the food and service here is top notch. It was my first time coming here so decided to go with the tasting menu. Everything we had was amazing - from the first course to the last. I enjoyed the appetizers the best; the mains were good - the duck was done well; dessert was ok but did not really stood out like the appetizers did. It was my first time here and it’s a shame I didn’t discover it sooner cause I would definitely like to try their other dishes.

Exquisite quality. Attention to detail. Beautiful plating. Luxurious service. Extraordinary flavours. Pure balance. All of these are fitting descriptions of West Restaurant on Granville and 14th Avenue. Most think of classy restaurants as those situated in downtown with valet parking. But quality and class are not only reserved for the downtown core.

Over the summer, they are offering their 3-course meal for $39, a fabulous price for the satisfaction that you will experience. From the first bite you will be craving for more. The freshest ingredients are selected and prepared so that the flavours hit your palate in a blast of finesse and balance. Finesse in how the chef manages to extract the wholeness of the unique flavours and balance in how savoury, sweet, tart, and spicy are woven together in perfect unity. The same can be said of their textures. An evening out at West will leave you satisfied as you enjoy your classy dining experience here with flavours that you will not quickly forget.

I came here with my boyfriend for my birthday, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was very relaxing. Our waiter was amazing, he found out it was my birthday and when my desert came out they wrote happy birthday on the dish in chocolate. It was very sweet and I'll definitely be coming back again! Also the 3 course dinner was very reasonably priced

Overall, we loved brunch at West. We started with duck salad and beet with burrata. The salad was too heavy on vinaigrette and the duck trimmings were sweeter and drier that we would prefer. The beet dish overwhelmed us with complex flavour, but the creaminess if the burrata pared down the complexity. Although appetizers were not particularly up our alley, we absolutely loved the mains: perfectly cooked rolled omelet and melting halibut brandade. The service was impeccable and we would love to come back for dinner.

We came here for our anniversary and it was nice that we had a card at the table from the restaurant. We ordered the 3 course set, I had the pork chop and hubby substituted with the steak for extra $$. I guess because it’s a set course, they left the plating the same. Which I was surprised. I would think they will plate it differently with the different meat. So the decorative flavouring on my plate for the pork complemented it whereas not so much for the beef. The steak was also very chewy for medium rare. For dessert, I asked for the chocolate Soufflé, it came out like a soft lava cake and super sweet even before you put a sauce on it. I asked the server before I ordered it if it was sweet and she said it wasn’t if I don’t put the sauce in. I had to send it back. I couldn’t enjoy it. The kitchen send us two little bite size spice cake, it was simple but I expected something more. Our server was more interested in chatting with the regulars than serving us. It was very hard to get his attention. He blamed it on he had to walk all the way back from the kitchen to our table, which is by the window. Yes, it’s a long walk but it’s your job. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here and won’t be coming back.

Good food. We had a three course meal special plus a risotto appetizer. I had a melon soup, salmon and strawberry shortcake. Hub had osyters, beef, and cheesecake. Food presentation was pretty and taste really good. Good amount of food. Good service. Good atmosphere. Parking was abit tricky but there was plenty of street parking.

Had a great experience at West. Went their for my 21st birthday and it's definitely a place to try. The menu is simple and sophisticated at the same time, and the food there was amazing. We were fortunate enough to be able to be seated at one of their chefs table and it made the whole experience even better.
