westies gastropub

poor service, bad server. we drove an hour to visit this restaurant. the atmosphere and the food were good, however we had a very bad experience with the server. this has been the first time i have been very uncomfortable with a server tone of voice, attitude and service.

1) the server told us how things were going to be: order drinks first, order appetizer and then dinner. this felt like we had to do things the way he wanted, however when you go to a restaurant you decide how you want to order in whatever way you want. you will be paying, not asking for a favor.

2) we were rushed to quickly order and get out. i asked the server what was the hurry; i was there to have agoodtime with the family. his response were " look at how pack the restaurant is"

3) although the food was good, the service was awful and will not be coming back.

if you want to be treated poorly and be rushed thru your meal, then this is the place to be. you get a better service from a fast food place.

won't be going back. this place needs to decide what it wants to be. either be a sports bar or a nice restaurant. trying to be both is stretching things too thin and thus nothing seems to be great. seems like it would be a great place to go with your friends after a summer softball game but not on a date. the giant tvs everywhere were distracting and the food was very bland - especially for the price. if you're going to serve food at this price point it better be great or you can otherwise just serve it and price it as what it is - bar food. i wasn't in the mood for a burger or pizza so that left me with like 4 dinner options. i choose the sausage and penne and seriously could have made it better myself. zero taste. the hostess gave us dirty menus (crusted food on them) and took about 6 minutes to decide where to seat us despite the place being practically empty. our server was very awkward. didn't bring water and seemed annoyed when we asked for it. we couldn't decide on what to drink so instead of offering suggestions or giving us time to look at the menu she just stood there and stared at us while we felt rushed to pick something. we couldn't wait to get out of this place.goodnews is the valet was wonderful. very friendly and eager guy with a smile who had nice things to say.

save you money.. saturday evening my husband and i went to westies for the first time. our bartender was very pleasant and helpful in deciding on the beer we would enjoy the most. the pineapple beer we chose was refreshing. we both ordered the turkey club sandwich, with a wedge salad. the bartender asked if we would like our salad first, and we said "yes." it wasgoodwe were enjoying our beer because it took 15 minutes for the kitchen to bring out our salads. the salad looked good; however, by the first 2 bites we realized there was no dressing, only a few pieces of bleu cheese on top. we had to ask for dressing. so for (2) $8 salads we got 1 cherry tomato cut in half on top, and a tiny cup of dressing for both of us to share. about 10 minutes later we got our sandwiches. after my first bite i was ready to leave. my worst sandwich at panera was better and cost $4 less! my sandwich had the lowest cost pressed turkey in it! i will never return. i found out i can buy the pineapple beer at the grocery, and i definitely can find better quality food, for a better price. i don't mind getting what i paid for, but this was definitely not one of those times!
