My fiancé and I had our pre-wedding dinner at Little West Tavern, located inside The Junto hotel, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of our evening was the incredible service provided by Host Michael.

Despite the restaurant being bustling with activity, Michael ensured that our large party was comfortably accommodated and kept together throughout the evening. Every request we made was met with a smile and immediate attention. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly made our evening memorable.

Michael went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, turning what could have been a stressful night into a seamless and joyous celebration. If you're looking for a place where you can trust that every detail will be taken care of, Little West Tavern is the spot, and Michael is the host you want to encounter.

Thank you, Michael, for your outstanding service and for making our special night even more unforgettable!

Decided to try this place during burger week. Interestingly, this wasn't brought up by either the hostess nor our server until I had asked about it prior to ordering. Website said single smash burger but waitress misinformed us and told us that it was a double smash. Server couldn't remember if we had stelzer or distilled water and continued to mix the waters together. Burger was slightly on the sweet side. Unfortunately, the fries weren't fresh and soggy when we got them and were cold. The ambiance and vibe is a 10/10, wish the service and food matched it.

This place has a nice vibe and is on the ground floor of the Junto. The hotel has a spacious lobby with an open bar and lovely music.

The restaurant food options were solid but I thought a little pricey for the amount received.

Server was a bit awkward but maybe just new. Kind of a toss up of whether I’ll return.

The whole experience was wonderful. Michael the host was kind, quick, and informative. Bayley our server was a delight. Brought out amazing food and was quick to refill drinks, offer apps/dessert/etc. The manager Leaha even came by to check in on our meal and make sure everything was our liking. We will be back and would be lucky to be served by anyone there.

This was my second time at this restaurant. The first time we sat at the bar and the second time was for a large party birthday dinner. My conclusion is never go here for an event with a big party.

My husband requested we go here for his birthday dinner with a party size of 12 people. I worked with an event planner because the party was larger than 6 people. Initially, we planned to order food individually. However the planner strongly suggested we go with a price fix menu. She stated if we ordered individually, we would be waiting for our Entrees for at least an hour and a half because it is a large party. I personally felt the price fix was a little expensive for the 3 options; $65, $75, and I think $100. So I was hesitant to move forward with the price fixe menu. However, we had a second reservation for another place to have drinks at 8:30 that I had prepaid for so I knew there were going to be time constraints. Our dinner reservation was at 6:30, which would give us 2 hours. We discussed the options and my husband really wanted his dinner here. Since it was made clear we would be waiting a hour and a half for food if we ordered individually, we decided to go with the price fixe menu. We were assured with the price fixe that food would be ready faster since it was predetermined and they could just run the courses. We chose the $75 option. It included 4 courses: 2 starter salads, 3 apps, 3 entrees with 2 sides, and 2 dessert options. As I said, we did feel it was a bit expensive but the food options looked to be plentiful so cost was justified . We were confident though it would go a lot smoother if we went that route and we could make our next reservation.

Fast forward to the actual reservation. We arrived and were seated without issue. About 5 minutes after we were seated, the server came over to introduce herself. She did not offer to take our drink order and began to walk away so we had to speak up to get their attention to come back for that. She clearly seemed very annoyed by this. Which was the theme of the service she provided. Throughout the entire experience she had an attitude like we were inconveniencing her and she seemed annoyed with us over basic asks. We had to constantly stop her as she walked by because she was not actually stopping to check on us. A few people in our dinner party work as servers and we know their job is difficult. However, we should not be feeling bad about expecting basic service at a nice dinner. Her attitude never improved throughout the dinner. It was very off putting.

As far as food goes, the food was very tasty and looked great. I have no complaint of the quality. My complaint goes down to timing. The entire reason we decided on a price fixe menu was to ensure we could get our food in a reasonable amount of time to make our second reservation. I realize 2 hours for a large party at dinner may be pushing it, but the predetermined menu selection should have sped things along according to their manager and planner. We did not receive the first of our 4 courses until almost an hour after we were seated; around 7:20 with the 2nd Appetizer course about 15 minutes later. Then the entree course came out about 45 minutes after the 1st course. At this point it was 8:15 and our next reservation was about a 5 minute walk from there. So we requested the last dessert course be boxed up instead of served at the restaurant. I wanted to check in at the second reservation so I quickly ate my entree and left the party to check in at the second spot by 8:30. I waited about 30 more minutes at the next reservation for the rest of the party to arrive from dinner.

I would like to note, we had 3 diet restrictions in our party that did not go with the price fix menu. They ordered individual items. They received their food before the first course even came out.

Overall, nice restaurant with pretty delicious food. Service was not great and I feel like the overall cost did not match our experience. I would go b

We got Mo as our server again, he did an admirable job and was very good about making sure the 2 folks with food allergies in our group were taken care of with the upmost care. And the manager, my apologies on struggling a bit remembering her name, came over to check in on us too. And our guests really enjoyed the dining experience as well. Thanks Little West!

The food was great and the atmosphere was nice. It was a party of 7-8 quest. The larger crowds they struggled with however the food and atmosphere was enough to entertain our group.

Vegetarian options: They have veggies, that are amazingly cooked to order..

The food is average. But they’re charging Cameron Mitchell or Jeff Ruby prices. The service is probably better at outback or Applebee’s. great decor, but charging four times too much and the staff and manager have no experience or training .
