Westport Cafe

"My husband and I went for dinner without making a reservation... however, there were a couple of bar seats open, so we were able to enjoy this place nonetheless! We tried the Spritz and Charlie Sour cocktails, which were both tasty. As for food, we chose the lamb, the steak tartar, the beet salad, pommes frites and the madelines for dessert. We loved all the food and it was nice to sip on drinks, chat and munch on food. The bartender was also very kind and attentive! French food might not be for everyone, but we highly recommend giving it a try :)"

"Menu looked very promising. What we received was tasty, but the portion size was smaller than what we had expected. The beef brisket was about 4oz of meat with veges for $36, the amount of meat was more expensive than what we had a few months back at Hell’s Kitchen, the wine dry steak/fillet minion. For 2 people, we ordered 1 appetizer to share, 2 main dishes, 1 dessert to share and 2 drinks. The reviews said 20-50 a person, ours ended up being $65 per person. We walked in during dinner, it wasn’t busy. We were denied a table by the host because we didn’t have a reservation. I counted 9 tables empty that we could see. Was told that the bar was only available. Bar seats were very uncomfortable and really ruined the night out. We were only here for about an hour, 20 or so minutes in another couple walked in and we overheard they also didn’t have a reservation but got a table seat. At the time we finished and paid to leave, there were still 4 tables open, 5 if the other non reservation weren’t seated. The worst part of it was that every time I looked over and talked to my dearest, I could see the host eyeing us down from a distance. Only redeeming quality was that our bartender waitress was helpful, attentive, friendly and is good at what she does. We’re both glad we’ve tried the place but most likely we won’t be returning as we didn’t feel welcomed throughout our service (minus our bartender) Points for how the food and drink tastes and our bartender waitress. No points for quantity, price, host, and welcomeness. Decor was what I would expect for the plaza/Westport area, would say it’s not terrible."

"Both the food and the atmosphere was lovely (sans a little kid running around and making noise.) Loved the cocktails and appetizers, and the service was nice. Tables are too big, hard to flirt with my wife from 15 yards away on a table top for 2."

"That was our best experience in a French restaurant . First we ate Saturday night. Food was incredible fresh products from local farms with a French twist. I never tried olive from Nice city and they were the best I never tried. After this beautiful dinner we came back Sunday for brunch. You need to make a reservation because they are so successful. They’re Croque madame is wowww. If you never went there you should try !"

"I would give it a 6 star if there’s an option. Not only that we enjoyed the food, food presentation, ambient of the restaurant, we truly appreciate our waiter John for introducing a good selection on the menu. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and I can tell he enjoy being there and provide a good service to everyone. We were told that the Chef always create new menu creatively. They have happy hour and you’ll get to try delicious food at a lower price. It was my first visit to the restaurant and I was very happy with all the selections. Definitely going back!"
