   Rodolfo and the service team was amazing and the food start to finish was fantastic. We ordered way too much as it turned out (first time in). The portions of food, quality relative to price, and taste were outstanding in everything. The Ribeye is insane!! This will become a must visit anytime I am close by. Thanks Rodolfo for making the experience absolutely amazing.

   Far Western Tavern is very icon. Everytime I stay in Oructt my first choice for dinner is the Far Western Tavern. I always order the prime rib or the bull-eye steak. Thumbs up👍

   Excellent dinner, steak was done to perfection. Bring your appetite as you'll get a very ample shrimp cocktail, and soup or salad, with your main course and sides. Service was a little slow, due to being very busy for a weeknight, and new personnel since they just recently fully reopened. Would highly recommend.

   I really don’t like writing bad reviews. But, I’ll start with a positive. My steak was cooked as ordered and was very good. Beyond that, our meal wasn’t a positive experience. The restaurant was extremely noisy. (and I mean really noisy.) We were told that a wedding reception was going on upstairs - and that may have been the case - but it was impossible to carry on a conversation across the table. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be shouting in order to be heard - and that didn’t make it better. The service was also not good. I’m sure it was due to COVID and not having enough servers, but it just wasn’t acceptable for this type of restaurant. Our server was probably waiting on at least 10 tables. Try as she might, she just couldn’t do a good job with that many to take care of. My wife ordered baby back ribs. They were far from “fall off the bone”. They seemed pretty tough, and I’m not sure they were fully cooked. But, since no one came by to see if all was OK with our meals, we just let it go. I wish you luck if you dine at this restaurant. We were just visiting the area, and we hoped that the reviews were accurate. Unfortunately, in our case, they were not. We will not return. Sorry.

    Everything was wonderful from the appetizers to the desserts. The food was phenomenal, beef was cooked perfectly and ambiance was exceptional as well! Lots of great central coast history. I remember going as a child when it was in Guadeloupe, Ca. with the wood floors, this gave the same experience. This is a must if you are in the area and can foot the bill, and if you can’t they serve plenty for sharing. Thanks for that wonderful experience! Our family has another great memory.

    The far western is a beautiful venue however the steak was tough and overcooked the lobster was small and rubbery the vegetables were undercooked the baked potato was cold the service was OK but slow the wine selection was terrible with only a few unknown wine brands and it was very expensive I will not be going back. The desert wasn’t even edible

    Service is five star. Salad was absolutely excellent. Sometimes when beans are left unstirred for too long the ones on top get a crust. Ours had that crust but the overall flavor was good. A little stingy with the salsa but we could have asked for more. We split a 14oz bullseye steak and it was a little tough seemed like a poor cut. My slacks ended up with someone’s chewing gum on them.

    Excellent food, especially their steaks and soups. Service was very good, prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Wine list is impressive with mainly local wines. Various very yummy desserts, I liked the most chocolate soufflé. The hospitality of this restaurant plus the quality of food and service makes me highly recommend it.

    It was very nice to get back to one of our favorite place. They were closed through all of COVID. Their menu appears to have changed a bit and doesn’t have as much, this is understandable. I don’t eat beef and always liked that they had more fish than they currently do. The food was great as it always is! Prices appear to have gone up, again understandable. We will be back!!!

    FAR WESTERN TAVERN IS A GEM IN THE MIDDLE OF NOT MUCH. I STUMBLED ACROSS IT YEARS AGO WHILE COVERING A PHOTO SHOOT AND NEEDING TO KILL SOME TIME. WHAT A GREAT PLACE. MY WIFE & I ALWAYS TRY TO FIT THIS PLACE IN TO OUR TRAVELS ANYTIME WE VENTURE UP THE COAST WHICH IS ABOUT 4 TIMES A YEAR. THE BAR HERE IS WORTH THE TRIP. THEY MOVED THE ACTUAL BAR ITSELF FROM GUATALUPE, CA., ABOUT 14 MILES AWAY. IT IS A CLASSIC LOOKING BAR. THE SERVICE IS IMPECABLE EVERY TIME WE VISIT. LOOKS LIKE YOUNG & LOCAL HELP WHICH IS GREAT TO SEE. WELL TRAINED!!! THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC AND ALL FROM THEIR OWN FARMS IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES OF ALL TIME!!!!!

    Far Western is one of our favorite restaurants. They have only been back serving in-house dinners for about a month so I think we have to give them some slack here.. All good to very good in terms of ratings. Unfortunately, this time our waiter forgot a few things that we requested but he also was not the best 18 months ago when he was our waiter during the December holidays. Not a problem. We can deal with it but are happy that this restaurant is back in business. Next, we are hoping that they will offer breakfast and lunch again in summer.

    Our reservation was at 7:30 on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and our drink/food orders were taken quickly. The drinks came right away as did the appetizers, but we waited nearly an hour for our food (didn't eat till around 9pm). Our waiter never checked in with us between taking our order and the food being delivered, not once during the entire hour. The food was amazing and definitely worth the price, but I'm not sure if I would ever come back given that wait.

    Food was amazing. Best part is we sat in the back of the house. Had a very friendly Blonde female waitress. Her and her staff easily provided the best service we have had in ages. They set the bar. Pork Chop to die for. Salmon was amazing. Polenta off the charts. We will be back soon!

    So happy to have them open again! It’s been too long!!! The food was just as delicious as before the shutdown and everyone was in a great mood to be there. The bar and dining room were completely packed! Which we loved to see. Andrea is the best bartender! She was slammed busy the whole time, but she never missed a beat, forgot anything or anyone and stayed smiling and super friendly the whole time. All in all, great experience!
