   Excellent service! The manager was very friendly and give us a private table to enjoy my birthday celebration with my friends. Food was delicious and did not take time to have our food ready. I would definitely come back again.

   We had a lovely early breakfast for 9 people. There was some confusion with my reservation - I received many email reminders beforehand, but on arrival, the desk seemed unaware. But the servers quickly set us up. Great food, great service. Would happily return.

   Our waiter was awesome! He was attentive and funny. The only issue was it was crowded and loud.

   We had a breakfast reservation. Although seated on time, it took 45 minutes to get the waitress to bring our food which was called. We had to remind her to provide us with silverware, and it was very difficult to all of the items we requested to be brought to West in fact, most of the food was cold, and the order were not complete. We went out of our way to go to this delicatessen because we thought we could support our grandchildren. It didn’t work.

   Food was great. Delivery timing imperfect so table was crowded with really big plates and bowls, but that’s minor. Friends were half way through entrees when mine finally arrived due to a prep mistake in the kitchen. I received a free dessert as compensation, but that wasn’t necessary. Thoroughly enjoyable, but it added up quickly. Two entree salads, a shared matzo soup, an app shared with our friends, a soda, and a coffee, and we were pushing $80. But everything was delicious, of high quality and prepared correctly. Worth it, in my opinion. Dinner companions liked their meals, but thought 4 standard-sized shrimp was a bit short of a serving size.

   Portions are generous. My husband and I ordered the omelette and we enjoyed it. Side of bacon was cooked crispy as ordered. Enjoyed the grapefruit mimosa. Daughter ordered the chicken schnitzel on focaccia and really loved that. We took home desserts to go which were great also, s’mores tart and vanilla bean cheesecake.

   The food was not up to par and not at all worth it for the price. Meatloaf was undercooked and tasted more like filler than meat and the chicken (strips) and biscuit were very disappointing for the cost. The service and bakery items were good, but we would not return.

   We were disappointed . Apparently they just started serving dinner so maybe breakfast & lunch are their thing. There were only 3 tables in the restaurant ours being bigger party . All The food was cold but flavors were ok. But with so few in the place , we should not have been eating cold food . And if server had come back - we’d have told them . We had 3 of the same sandwiches - all 3 were different none of them good . Felt expensive for what you got. Felt good about having a reservation but that was the only thing.

    They put us in a back room that was freezing. we had to keep our jackets on through the whole meal. The waiter was terrible. I think he was severely hung over or had some other problems
