Restaurants near Westview Park

Food is excellent. Tables are too close together. Diners next to us were 1 foot apart from us—uncomfortably close for conversation. (And they had children who were unhappy.) Noise level grows with the crowd so go early or deal with it. Service is the same—starts out great and then wanes as the crowd grows. But food is great so I’ll keep going back.

Our servers were attentive, friendly and did not hurry us. The queen cut prime rib was wonderfully flavorful and cooked to perfection. As soon as we sat down our server asked if my husband and I were celebrating anything special. When it was time for dessert our server brought us a complimentary dessert to celebrate my husband's birthday. Glad to see there are restaurants out there that still cater to the customer's satisfaction and happiness.

We hosted a brunch for ten. The food ordered ranged from eggs to pancaked and waffles to the honey chicken sandwich. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. We were seated at the front on right side of restaurant at a round table. No one was crowded and we could all be heard when we talked. This area seemed like we had our own private room. Would definitely return and recommend.

From beginning to end, it was a great dinner. We arrived early for our reservation so found seats at the bar. Cocktails were all very good. They had a great list of mock tails too. Violi has a really cool vibe, but the conversation is loud if that bothers you. Great service. Plates are designed to share and all 6 of us did. We liked everything we tried from the lamb shank to branzino and the mousaka. Will definitely return !

West coast oysters were terrific. Crabmeat avocado was delicious. The fillet was excellent as was the WR cut and a lobster tail for the table. We were celebrating Moms 97th birthday and server Diana was very gracious and give the table two walnut chocolate chip cookies topped with vanilla ice cream whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It was an excellent topper to a terrific evening.
