Best Seasonal Restaurants in Short Pump

We've been wine club members for about 1 1/2 years. We took our son and his wife for wine tasting and dinner last night for his birthday. My standard complaint is how packed the wine tasting bar is and how long we have to wait. Other than than, we had a fun experience and our dinner was enjoyable as usual. I've discovered the Shrimp Scampi which is wonderful. Our food was great, wine was good, noise level high but not sure what can be done about that. Our server was Janie and she was delightful and attentive. All in all another good 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..

Great date night or special occasion place to go for dinner. Staff is very attentive and pleasant. Food was delicious. It is a bit pricey but I still highly recommend it!
