I’ve eaten at 271 West a few times and it’s always great — amazing food, great vibe, and excellent service. But what really keeps me coming back is how thoughtful and kind the staff are.
I work long 10½-hour shifts, and by the time I get home, I’m usually too tired to cook. Every now and then, I order takeout from here, and it’s always just as good as dining in. I usually walk my dog when I pick up my food, and they always come out to meet me at the door so I don’t have to tether her outside — such a small thing, but it means a lot.
Tonight, the owner even let me and my Great Dane wait in the vestibule while they finished preparing my order. She gets nervous around lots of people and traffic, so it helped her settle right down. That level of kindness isn’t something you see every day.
The food, as always, was excellent — the salmon was delicious, and the sides were fresh and full of flavor. 271 West truly goes above and beyond for their customers. Highly recommend!

It was my first time back in the KW area in several decades and my wife picked this restaurant to dine in for our first night. Although it was 20 min from our hotel, the food and service made the short trip worth it!
We started with a Caesar salad that was very good, but not overly garlicky. My wife had a gnocchi and shrimp dish while I had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Both dishes were served piping hot and were very flavourful! Serving size was just right. We both loved our pastas.
We dined in a spacious upscale booth which had been reserved for us earlier in the day. Our server was prompt and friendly… what more could you ask for!
All in all, it was a fantastic dinner. The menu looks extensive so there is bound to be something there for every taste!
Bon appetito.

I cannot say enough about 271West. It is by far our favourite restaurant in KW. High-end but family run, it has a great atmosphere and even better food. I always bring my out of town guests there when they are looking for a delicious, fancy meal. The are always willing to substitute and offer subsititutions/ local ingredients/ different specials. My wife and I most recently went there for our anniversary. I got the shrimp and scallops pasta and it was to die for. My wife got the chicken and bacon pasta and loved it. We got a beautiful bottle of wine and chatted through the evening. The owner himself served us and met our every whim. A great value for what it is, the best meal in all KW.

I finally made it to 271 West. I've heard rave reviews. They weren't wrong. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, clean and roomy. The chicken fettuccine was perfect, the potato soup and garlic bread were delicious. Great service. Can't wait to come back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always a pleasure dining at 271 West! The service is consistently top notch and the food is bursting with flavour every time. Tonight’s home-cooked dinner didn’t quite work out, but I knew I could count on 271 West to save the day. Never disappoints!

Walked in on a whim. We were treated wonderfully. Food is flavourful, even if some combinations are less than traditional, all very enjoyable. A welcoming environment that was culinarily satisfying. It does a fantastic job of the lane it has picked. Will return!
