    Our server was absolutely awful. She took drinks, which she didn’t know how to ring in and had to ask a coworker, forgot to put our appetizer in, and then didn’t come back to the table for over 20 minutes. Asked us how the drinks were, then was going to walk away. Didn’t ask about food, we had to tell her. Put the food in, then didn’t come back to ask us how it was. We wanted another round of drinks and had to find another waitress to take our order because ours was no where to be found. Then we had to waive her down to pay our bill. She hovered over us when she gave the machine to tab out. We enjoy five west. But if I get her as a server again, i will request a different waitress.

    Have always had a good experience at 5West but last was not great. It was just my husband and I and we were seated in the small room to the right of the entrance. The room was freezing cold and they sat us at a table between 2 tables of 7 children!! We love children but we were looking for a nice evening out. We had a reservation. Thought you could do so much better than that. The service was just ok. Had to ask for drink refills after a long period of time waiting. The food was ok.

    Husband and I started with appetizer of calimari (which was excellent) and then shared the 16 oz ribeye. We chose Sides of mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I had a blackberry mojito that was outstanding!!

    The food and server were excellent. However, the hostess at the front desk appeared clueless about the reservation I made and exerted no effort to guide my lunch companion (who arrived 10 minutes after I did) to our table. Made me wonder why I went through the bother of making a reservation.

    Nice place and good food. Service was very good. It was kind noisy, but the place was also extremely busy. I would suggest reservations if you are going here for dinner. We made reservations and we were seated almost immediately, it looked like a long wait for those who didn't reserve a table.

    We have not visited Five West very much as the noise level is usually intolerable. It is not only painful but makes it difficult to converse to anyone across the table. In the summer when it is possible to sit outside we frequent Five West a lot. A previous long tome server told up that she goes home after her shift she usually has a throbbing headache. That aside , the menus has its of options and the food was guide good. Our server was exceptional.

    Service was quick and we were always being tended to. Food is priced around $20 and up. Noise level is not to loud where you have to shout to hear each other talk. Spacious and clean.

    5 West is our go-to spot for a a classy meal at a moderate price point. We made a quick stop on NYE for appetizers and cocktails. The seasonal brie was delish and the server was delightful, even though she was quite busy.

    I was disappointed this time, a first for me. Service was poor. I went with a couple other friends for brunch, and after the first cup of coffee, we didn’t get attended to for more than 30 minutes. Had to go get the manager, after which whatever issue was there, disappeared. Waitress was unapologetic. Restaurant was really crowded which speaks to popularity, but didn’t keep up with quality service.

    In general the experience was not much different than usual. However the wood grilled pork chops were disappointing this time. In the past they were thick, juicy and warm on delivery to the table. I've had them many times. Last night the chops were thinner than before, a bit overcooked, which left them dry and a bit tough. The chops and potatoes were barely warm, although the flavor was still as good as before. Just not as appetizing. If the use of thinner pork chops is part of a financial move, I'd rather have a single thicker chop than 2 thin ones like last night. The other 3 meals at the table were the normal quality, so we're still Five West fans. Just disappointed with the changes noted above.

    Daughters bday. Booking on here and leaving special notes that are NEVER READ, is disturbing. We had to remind the waitress that it was our daughters birthday. Wrong fries were brought. Service was slow but she rushed us when we needed time to decide. Wrong check presented. Took a while for her to attend to us in between. Felt like it was not well staffed as usual. The wrong fries tasted nasty-

    We are senior citizens and met another senior citizen couple. It was difficult to carry on a conversation. We were in a room with little ones (which we love) but the noise level was a bit much for any kind of table talk.
