    Definitely a Rochester favorite! Very lively but pretty loud, so conversation is tough. Great casual place to take your family. Excellent queso appetizer. Menu offers something for everyone.

    Friday evenings are busy, so I made a reservation. We arrived early, and were told they are waiting on our table to get ready. We waited. Then we waited some more. We see tables sitting empty but we still wait. Then we saw people coming in and be seated right away, but we still waited. I got impatient and asked when are we going to get our table, and was told "a few more minutes". I turn my back and immediately I get a text that my table is ready. Are you kidding me??? I just talked to you and you told me it was not ready. I don't know if it's just bad service or they were making fun of us, but anyway I'm not looking forward to going back.

    Excellent food and service. Reservation required we saw many people come in between 5:30-6:30 with no seating available. Only concern is noise. Happy crowd noise is very evident even in booth.

    Service and food were good. Ordered a single malt scotch neat. Bill came $18 for scotch (reasonable) and $12 for neat (unreasonable) and incomprehensible.
    Five West Kitchen + BarResponded 7 days ago
    Gordon, thank you for your review of Five West. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and food. However, we apologize for the confusion regarding the pricing of the scotch. The $18 would be for a standard pour and the additional $12 would be for a double pour. I am sorry if this was not asked or made clear by your server, we will reiterate to the staff the importance of clarifying orders like this. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better on your next visit.

    Easter Buffet items were fresh & re-filled promptly. Our server, the guy carving the meats, the manager… everyone was warm, efficient & kind. Five West really creates a cozy experience even on busy holidays. Looking forward to my next visit :)

    Always like coming here for lunch or brunch. There is always parking, the food is good, there are a variety of beverages, and the service is fantastic! It is quite noisy and a little chilly inside, though.
