wonderful menu with something for everyone - we tried the house made pumpkin ravs + a flat bread, fish tacos, etc - all dishes were well presented, clearly made with fresh ingredients and were top notch. We heard they are closing which is sad.....what a gem

Food and service were outstanding as always The Tuna Poke is the best. We're so sorry to hear that Saturday, March 30th will be West Row's last day in Newburyport. The restaurant, its owners, and staff will be missed.

For a Wednesday night this place was pretty busy. Our server was very attentive and our food was very good. This place is not cheap, but its a nice place to share a appetizer and a drink if you are on a budget.

Our first meal at West Row. We were there with another couple. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. My wife had the panko crusted salmon. And I had the hanger steak. Both were excellent. The food and service were five star. Two things detracted from the experience. First was the noise level. It was very noisy and difficult to hear conversation at our table. Second issue was that they have crammed so many tables into the place that it was very difficult for guests and waitstaff to move about. Bottom line is I would go back but probably not at 7 on a Saturday.

We had Adrienne as our server. She was awesome. Very professional but also a splash of local feel to make you feel warm and welcome. All three of us had the cod and it was to die for...Very filling. Apps were mussels and Brussels sprouts and it was a great way to start it. Overall just a great place. Cute spot. Great food. Great service.

Loved everything about the food including choices, quality and portions. The service was excellent and we were made to feel welcome there. I enjoyed the location with a pretty view of downtown NBYPT. The atmosphere could have been a bit cozier but it was definitely not a deterrent from visiting again. It's now my new favorite local spot!
