Vibe: Atmospheric yet devoid of buzz

West Lounge shines with a romantic and elegant ambiance, live band entertainment, breathtaking views, and an extensive range of intriguing drinks, making it a perfect spot for intimate dates. However, this often doesn't translate to popularity. The space can feel empty and outdated, leaving it with little buzz.

  • Great Views

    Breathtaking views enhance dining experience, spanning city to beach vistas.

  • Negative Buzz

    Empty restaurant lacks vibe, feels unpopular and dated inside.

Perks: Testy reservations and slow service

The lounge's parking convenience, group-friendly staff and balanced noise levels are well regarded. On the downside, patrons have had to deal with long waits despite reservations, slothful service and occasionally cold food. Kids friendly but the manager's behavior can be a spoiler.

  • Great For Groups

    Staff very accommodating for a very large group, ensuring great service.

  • Okay For Diets

    Vegetable dishes were appreciated, well executed and described as delectable.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Having reservations, still faced over an hour wait, defeating reservation point.
