First time at this restaurant. The food was very good but the portion was not worth the price. The staff were wonderful and welcoming. I was hungry when I left. I had the French toast.

It is a bit pricey, but I guess because of its location on South Granville. It is right opposite the Stanley Theatre and close to downtown. The main dishes are on the small portion side and not much veggie. You definitely need an appy or a side dish (if you just have a main course) or eat a lot bread. My friend had the SET dinner with a few courses at $100++, but the portion of each course was very small again. If you are hungry, don't eat there. It's really a place for special occasions or to impress someone. My bone-in pork chop was really nicely cooked to the correct done-ness. I had an appy Risotto to accompany the pork, otherwise just the pork chop was not enough even for a small woman like me. Service was good enough, but the evening we were there, there was not enough staff. This was my second time dining there, I personally like to eat there !

A ladies lunch before the Christmas crazies. Had am all round fabulous time together in West.
Thank you,

Busy, great menu, and the feeling of being out at a nice place.
We started with scallops and oysters, followed by tenderloin and sable fish, all four dishes excellent.
Was a little off put by not receiving an acknowledgement of our wait past our reservation for our table.
Small things can make a big difference in the evening.

Great server and tasting menu was excellent. Lamb shank was sublime.

Went to celebrate my fathers milestone birthday. Good and service were top notch. My wife says we just found our new favourite restaurant!

Great food, great service. The new pastry chef couldn’t get the panna cotta to come together, which seems odd for a restaurant of this calibre, so I had to choose something else. But then they provided the desserts for free as a make up. Ergo good service.

Great food. Had not been there in a while- still stands the test of time. My out of town foodie guests loved it.

Everything was as good as it gets however it is expensive which makes it a good place for a special occasion. There is often a prix fixe menu which makes it a little more affordable without sacrificing any quality. And our server Monica was perhaps the best i have ever encountered

Fantastic brunch! Great oysters, very fresh with horseradish, lemon and red wine mignonette.
Excellent eggs benedict which can be served soft, medium or hard boiled. We also had the French toat and the brandade as well as the tartare.
All of the items were excellent.
Our server was discreet. The service was excellent. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept and offers a great wine list for the connaisseur.

Absolutely delicious and on pointe dishes. Ambiance and decor is dated and geared towards an older crowd but food was impeccable so I’ll be going back for sure.

Excellent service and food. Overall great first time experience!

Vegetarian tasting menu good but the ravioli is bit tough

Meh. Service was stellar! Everything else was mediocre. Menu was boring. My lobster app was over cooked. Onion soup was blah. Duck was chewy and undercooked. Was supposed to be medium, hardly even medium rare. Husband thought the gremolata on his lamb tasted like dirt. Sad cider selection.
Would never go back or recommend. Waited years to eat here only to be disappointed.

My wife’s birthday.

Lovely spot to bring your significant other or any special occasion. I guarantee you won't be disappointed :)

As always, West encapsulates everything we consider to be the best of West Coast dining. Their standards are never compromised - service, menus and wine list are 5 star perfection! Thank you again!

We took our elderly parents and enjoyed a classy dinner! Great service and excellent food!

We had a lovely wedding anniversary brunch.

West is reliably awesome for both food and cocktails.

We loved the fact that they wrote a card for our anniversary and personalized our dessert too! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable! Totally recommend it xx

Awesome experience as usual. Will be back in a few weeks for the Christmas dinner get-together :)

Attentive service, delicious meal.

Service was not good as I thought it would be. But I feel it was lack of organization when there was influx of people during the brunch period.

Excellent starter--the Burrata. Attentive service. 'Birthday Person' liked the added touch of the Happy Birthday card. Waiters and staff were very patient with us when we asked to take home the Petit Fours,
and when one member had trouble using the credit card machine.

We will be back.

Wonderful service! Good food. My parents had a wonderful time.

Delicious food and wine in a comfortable setting close to theatre. If you are attending a play at the Stanley, this is a perfect spot for an early dinner before heading over to the theatre - only a block and half away. The Scotch collection is quite substantial, and likely deserves a return visit when one has a designated driver. Wine list also great. Love the glass decorative pieces between the restaurant and bar.

Awesome Meal!!! The food was terrific. The service was excellent. Our server suggested a wine that was also terrific! We will definitely be back.

Great food and great service!! We live in the neighborhood and haven't been to the restaurant in a few years - food and service has always been great, however the wine if very expensive and there are no real mid price alternatives. We would come much more frequently as we do other local restaurants (we prioritize going to local business vs chains or outside the neighborhood) if there were other available wine options. We have asked a few of our friends who also live in the neighborhood and they are of the same opinion.

Superb service! The cocktails and food were executed amazingly. I felt like royalty. Worth every penny.

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner at West. From start to finish the service was attentive, the food deliciously executed and the ambiance warm and inviting. We found the sommelier particularly helpful. We would highly recommend West for a fine dining experience or an evening cocktail.

Outstanding selection of cocktails... the bartender didn't mind sharing how they are made either e.g. he shared the recipe of a very unique cocktail. BTW, it's not that easy to make, even when I had the ingredient list and some verbal guidance! Lessons learned, go to West to enjoy the cocktails vs. making them at home!!

Outstanding

Great food, fantastic service, great wine list! Easily accommodated our birthday party of 10 including one child. Highly recommend!!

Convenient location among many shops nearby. Food was good but cant tell it was excellent for the price performance. Nice presentation and may go again when you have your shopping finished.

Very attentive staff who gets a special call out for making our anniversary memorable. Little things count - seating, ambiance, card & dessert messages...

Fall prix fixe was a bonus and amazing surprise. Food was exquisite and, to be a bit of a cliche, was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

Thank you!

Outstanding! From the greeting to the service to the food, an absolutely wonderful experience. Very sleek but still cozy and comfortable. Just the right amount of food, and everything was delicious. It happened to be Canada Thanksgiving, so my husband ordered the traditional Turkey dinner, which he inhaled. My steak was tender and juicy, and I savored every bite. Heavenly desserts!

Food was overall good. The plate could have been a little warmer to keep the food warmer longer. Also the server didn't seem to know the menu well, and stumbled several times when we asked what was in the dish. But overall we had a good time.

It is very difficult to find a restaurant/chef who can do superb holiday meals. Today we went to West for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner and it was absolutely out of this world. Have been there many times for meals and tonight surpassed the best of the best.
my congrats to all concerned.
