The staff and wine is as I’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

We have had really delicious lunch and dinner meals here at West Restaurant over the past 12 years.. Because it is closing at the end of December 2019, we decided that we must eat at this very special restaurant one more time.. the restaurant atmosphere has always been special and the staff greet you with authentic warmth.. then the menu is always creative...

Alas, this will be my only review of the wonderful restaurant, West. It will be closing down at the end of the year and I wanted to experience it one more time.

What a night! Went with a group of ten to celebrate my birthday and did they deliver. The food was great, as was the service, even on such a busy night (Friday). And the wine list was a treat to read for us wine geeks. Such a shame it's closing in another month, but at least we got back.

We loved everything. Every course was superb. All the seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. The filet was great and done to perfection. We especially loved the pasta, a pomodoro. Beyond the food, the service was attentive and kindly rendered.

We came here after hearing they would be closing down soon, which is unfortunately because the food and service here is top notch. It was my first time coming here so decided to go with the tasting menu. Everything we had was amazing - from the first course to the last. I enjoyed the appetizers the best; the mains were good - the duck was done well; dessert was ok but did not really stood out like the appetizers did. It was my first time here and it’s a shame I didn’t discover it sooner cause I would definitely like to try their other dishes.

Service was impeccable but the food was disappointing. I ordered the halibut. The halibut was cooked perfectly, but unfortunately, the mushrooms and vegetables were overly salty. They were extremely salty to the point where my tongue was burning. It's unfortunate but we didn't want to cause a scene by pointing it out. I had hoped the server would come by to ask how our food was, but she never did so I didn't have an opportunity to bring it up.
Just had a wonderful dinner at West Restaurant. Started with a couple of Pisco Sours, smoother than usual and so satisfying! We shared the Ling cod and the duck breast - both excellent, but we agreed the cod was extraordinary in blending flavors. The sides of peppers and mushrooms were also superb, but the piece-de-resistance was the chocolate souffle - the best of our lives!

Maybe no point in posting this because I hear you're closing your doors in December, but I must say that West is one of my favourites in Vancouver. After I was proposed to two years ago, I remember West as our stop for brunch. Excellent food, top notch service, and beautiful ambiance makes it a real shame that a classy restaurant like this is leaving.

Came here for my anniversary. The staff was friendly and the food was fabulous. Good portions with decent prices. They were also super accommodating when I requested to be seated in a private area last minute. They sat us at a comfy booth by the chefs window.

I still wished they had their ribeye... but the AAA Alberta bistro filet was not bad.

Great lunch options, food came very quickly. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the waitress had a memory lapse and forgot to serve my cheese with my pasta until 10 minutes later (with a little bit of hunting her down). The beef tartare was good. My clam linguine was delicious, although on the pricy side ($29 for about 8 clams). The flavour was there, though. We spent about 2 hours chatting and they didn't rush us out. Atmosphere was nice.
