I took my wife for lunch and spontaneously decided to stop at the West Street Grill in Litchfield. My first impressions were, place was amazing. Great classical and jazz music, great atmosphere. However, the disappointing part of our experience started with the small portions of the pasta dishes we ordered. I ordered the rigatoni and my wife ordered the raviolis. We were surprised no bread was served prior or while being served. I then asked for bread, the owner said right away but it never came. The portions were so small that we left feeling hungry. We were very disappointed, because we just didn’t expect this. The owner stopped us outside saying he forgot the bread and offered it to us as we were walking to our vehicle. Just disappointed on the service for an $80 dollar meal to walk away just as hungry as we arrived.

WSG is always delightful, delicious and deserving of praise. James supervises each table with polite grace. One of the top 2 restaurants in Connecticut.

Went on Friday night and enjoyed an amazing dinner. One of the friends with us is Vegan and it was so nice to have vegan options for her as well. Service was fantastic, never waited on anything. A special touch is the owner visits each table to ensure we are enjoying ourselves and the food. Totally recommend to anyone looking for a nice, cozy and quiet restaurant where you can actually have a conversation.

We took a break from cleaning and decorating and took a trip to the West Street Grill for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. I had the hand-pressed burger with Gorgonzola aioli and was one of the best burgers I've ever had! We will ABSOLUTELY be back‼️ I love this place 😊

Fantastic French-/Italian- inspired modern cuisine in a gorgeous country setting. Gracious hospitality offered by a dedicated owner and staff who clearly care deeply about food, service, and community. Notably and uniquely for this style of restaurant, vegan/vegetarian options are plentiful and as well-executed as superb omnivore offerings such as the NY strip steak. We will drive 2 hours to eat here and can't recommend it highly enough.

West Street Grill is my single favorite restaurant in CT and one of my favorite restaurants period. Every single dish.i have ordered has been exceptional, and I have probably ordered every item on the menu. It is a wonderful restaurant in the cute town of Litchfield and the service is as good as the food. The owner James is knowledgeable and always offers great suggestions for what to order. I simply love this restaurant. As an added bonus the vegan items on the menu are also amazingly. If you go you will be back.

What a wonderful experience. We did not have a reservation and though certainly not expected on our part, the owner was able to sit us quickly after arriving.

The place was packed with families and couples in October, the food was delicious and portions were spot on; they also seemed to time the food between salad and meal perfectly. Please visit this place, highly recommend. If we ever find ourselves in Litchfield again, will definitely dine here.

We always make it a point to stop here (even go out of our way to do so), and it never disappoints. The food is consistently beautiful and delicious, coupled with a wonderful wine selection, and the service is warm and welcoming. Thank you for another top-notch experience, we'll see you soon!

Had an awesome dinner here with today. James the owner was very welcoming and the experience was top notch from start to finish. The appetizers, chicken and fish were all excellent. I’d highly recommend and will be returning when I’m in town.

My fiancé and I, both deeply rooted in the restaurant industry, are rarely this blown away by a dining experience, but West Street Grill has truly set the bar. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the warm, inviting aesthetic—timeless, with a perfect balance of New England and comfort.

The service was nothing short of exceptional. The team’s genuine passion for their craft was evident in every interaction. They were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every detail of the menu, and truly dedicated to making our evening special.

Now, the food… where do I even begin? Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The attention to detail and the creativity in every bite made it clear that the kitchen is led by a team of true culinary artists. We found ourselves savoring every mouthful, eager to try the next dish, yet reluctant to finish each one too quickly.

As industry professionals, it’s rare for us to be this impressed, but West Street Grill has managed to exceed even our highest expectations. The passion and commitment to excellence here are palpable, making this an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates remarkable dining. We will definitely be returning and recommending it to everyone we know. Bravo!
