Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Glen Allen

We tried the pork chop tonight with some apps. Incredible! Thanks again for a great evening!

We've come to appreciate West Coast as a close, reliable purveyor of truly fresh ingredient-focused, great dinners. We've even ordered (beef) filet there. (And it was great!) We usually vier toward the raw fish/seafood items and vegetable salads, but the last couple of fish tacos and/or s "simply prepared" salmon with vegetables have proven the kitchen's skills beyond promised "Aligot" potatoes that are little more than predictably "mashed." And there are occasional reliances on showy kitchen flourishes -- like a hearty scattering of fresh thyme leaves on roasted potatoes --for which a MUCH lighter hand would serve to taste if not, so much, to appearance. But our past few months' experiences with raw seafood, roasted or grilled entrees, deep-fried fish tacos, and -- most recently -- filet of beef have been outstanding in creativity and consistency. We do not want to take this ostensibly "seafood" outpost while they serve so many dependably excellent salads, sandwiches, steaks, etc. West Coast is an amazing neighborhood gathering place -- one that has MUCH better than "neighborhood gathering spot" food. Go for the food. All of it..

Food delicious and Peyton our service was so nice [O[oooo[ooooooo

Our waiter, Shawn was outstanding! Very attentive and personable. Our food was delicious - one snag was the fried brussel sprouts. They were really inedible but Shawn brought us a new plate and they were delicious.

Perfect early dinner choice. We actually called in 45 minutes before our reservation time, to ask if we could come in a bit early. "Come in as soon as you get here" was the cheerful response. The menu is not expansive, but we each found entrees that sounded intriguing. The appetizer (calamari) was a perfect start. Our waitress was very attentive, and inviting. She even noticed that we were following a football game score on my phone, and asked the bartender to change the channel so that we could actually watch the broadcast!
