Tavern West

The ambiance was great. My husband had the elk tenderloin which was delicious; I took a chance with the beet Wellington which was pretty good but really could have used an additional sauce or more green beans for added texture. The elote corn ribs were incredible!

Happy hour is solid, must sit at bar though. The reuben is one of the best in the world!! Kobe burger is incredible. Do NOT get the tater tots. Its overfried, felt more like a chip than anything. Maybe also just bad luck. Elote corn is super good. Skip the smoked salmon. Pork belly is also great.

Came here for my birthday dinner and only liked one dish. Truffle tots - I’m pretty sure they were from a bag and waaayy too fried. We couldn’t even stick a fork in them without them crumbling apart. Smoked salmon - very dry. Tri-tip - it was recommended to be cooked medium rare by the chef and it came out so chewy that it was inedible. My jaw hurt from the first bite. Bison tips - the best dish but, a warning, they have gravy under the entire dish. It was good but pretty heavy. Honey dipper (non-alcoholic) - amazing tea! I think it would have been great with the whiskey as well.

The food was really good. The steak was cooked to perfection. Our server was not very friendly, nor attentive. We had to ask for everything, often having to ask other people when ours was nowhere to be seen. We really wish we had Maggie or Andy to make the meal perfect.

Seated quickly as there was an opening and a reservation was made. Service was attentive for about 10 minutes and then completely disappeared. Drinks and appetizers arrived. Once done, main dish showed up with no clearing of appetizer dishes and drinks. We had to scramble to clear space enough to even set entrees somewhere on table. A second drink was ordered which never showed up. Had to get a different server to bring the drink which finally showed up at very end of meal. No explanation or apology. Water refill was promised which again showed up near end of meal. After much waiting and trying to find our server she finally showed up asking if we wanted dessert. We politely declined and asked for our bill. This was our second visit to this establishment with very similar experience. Alth
