West Restaurant is a stunning fine dining restaurant situated along South Granville.The food was excellent. The atmosphere was perfect – it was ergonomically designed for the perfect dining experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient.We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, we would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Very memorable dining experience. Service was top notch, and the ambience was great. Very nice drink menu and the food was delightful. I would highly suggest the west fries with house made ketchup. Awesome!!!!
Came here during lunch, it was rather empty, the ambiance was good, the food was definitely quite distinctive from one plate to another, each having their own unique characteristics, although i must say it wasn’t the best form, some where a little bit more salty that what i’ve wanted, and some the spices didn’t kick out as the chef have imagined maybe. but overall it was definitely decent, but for the price, for me it’s not worth it. The complimentary desert was the thing that i like the most. mangkr.wordpress.com
This place was pretty good, but also pretty standard. The service wasn’t the greatest, as our server did their job but wasn’t very attentive. It wasn’t just because the place was busy- we saw them fawning over the tables nearby that ordered wine, so I guess that’s why. But what can I do? My body just can’t handle the alcohol…am I forever doomed to be a second class patron at fine dining restaurants? But I digress. The ravioli was fab (I’m a sucker for anything with butternut squash) but nothing else was particularly memorable, especially considering the price range. Would not go out of my way to come back with all the other options available.
I was recently taken here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. We were early but the dining room wasn’t busy so we were seated right away. They also were kind enough to give me a card for the occassion.Starters – Oysters – Fresh and nicely shucked. The Grape mignonette was also a different twist. – Lobster Gnocchi. To be honest I haven’t had a gnocchi made this well in quite some time. Light and fluffy, with a very well balanced lobster sauce and a meaningful amount of lobster on the plate. I had my doubts about this dish at 21$ but it was solid. – Smoked Duck Breast – Wonderful dish. Smokey flavour, cooked to your liking, and all the garnishes were well seasoned. In fact the kale was outstanding. However, not enough fat was rendered from the duck breast, AND for $40 I had to ask for a starch [potato confit] (sorry a lentil vinaigrette doesn’t count for me). I got roasted potatoes instead. It’s a shame when a dish could be perfect but a few details let it down – White Sturgeon – The wife had this one. Fish was perfectly cooked, the celeriac puree was rich and smooth, the brussel sprout leaves were amongst the best I’ve had. Had a strange celeriac sauce that tasted like tartar sauce (whimsey? not sure, was a bit out of place) – Desert – Chocolate sponge cake. Given they advertise they have a dedicated pastry chef I expected way more. This was very one-note and a bit of a bet down. The server also felt the need to mention that it takes them 2 days to make the hazelnut ice cream, but it was bland and disappointing.Overall there’s a standard with TopTable restaurants that is met. The Service is polite but quite slow. It was a 2 hr sitting for 2 people with 3 courses in a half-full restaurant, so plan accordingly. The cocktails are fantastic as is the wine and spirit list. Would definitely recommend and would return
