Service can vary—some servers are knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, while others may be less engaged or a bit loud, especially during busy times. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity, and parking is fairly easy across the street. Despite the high prices, Westward remains a popular choice for those seeking a unique atmosphere and excellent seafood, especially for outdoor dining or enjoying the lakeside views in good weather.
