East by Southwest offers a nice dining experience with great atmosphere, wait staff, and creative Asian dishes. The sushi rolls are consistently one of the best in the area, with highlights like the NY NY roll and the excellent kanpachi. While the food is generally good, there can be long gaps between courses, though recent reviews note that service has improved and food came out in a timely manner. The selection of mixed drinks, especially craft cocktails made with local fruit like Palisade peaches, is delightful. It is recommended to check ahead for busy nights or make a reservation to avoid long waits, as the menu offers many choices that might require some time to decide. Overall, the restaurant is slightly above average, providing a satisfying dining experience with delicious sushi options and a unique atmosphere that feels like dining on a work of art.
