    Location: 10/10 Food: 20/10 Staff: words cannot describe the poise, humor, complexity, and attentiveness of everyone working here. If I was on death row, I would ask for one night at Westward Xoxo

    Restaurant decided to close early and never notified us, so we showed up to locked doors and not a soul in site. Very disappointed.

    Service was ok, food portion was ok as well, I ordered the clam dish it was good but not going out my way. My daughter had the pork chop not sure what it was about this dish but it tasted it like dirt definitely an aftertaste to it-DO NOT RECOMMEND. My three sister order halibut fish loved it! -Def recommend. Ambience nice, great view, we sat inside, and server was nice.

    The wait staff was excellent and very accommodating. They made sure that our 15th Wedding Anniversary was special! We had great views of the lake and city too!

    Wow why did we wait so long to eat here? Totally lived up to expectations: briny take on a martini (yes!), herby tomato salad with best burrata ever, grilled peppers with crunchy addictive breadcrumbs, and of course: the wonderfully fresh and tasty oysters…all super-delicious. Marvelously flavorful and we can’t wait to go back. (Roasted poisson a little overdone, unfortunately, but still pretty yummy). And lovely service to make it all just right.
