West 82 Bar And Grill

This was a very disappointing dining experience. We do not recommend it.

My wife and I had reservations for dinner here. There was no problem with being seated as we were one of three or four tables in the entire restaurant. I guess the locals knew to avoid the place?

The restaurant positions itself as fine dining, yet very little about the experience offered substance for that claim. Our server was nice, but a bit slow. I suspect she was the only person waiting on diners, so that would explain the relative slowness.

The appetizer was good, but the dinner rolls were cold. The entrees and sides were poor. My seafood platter had over-seasoned shrimp that was so salty, I could not finish them. On the other hand, the scallops had no seasoning at all. The scallops were a perfect match for the unflavored scalloped potatoes. My wife's filet was overcooked, but at least seasoned properly.

After dinner tea choices lacked any kind of English black or Early Greys, but they had an ample supply of Lipton(!) tea.

The dessert, a slice of cheesecake, took nearly 15 minutes to arrive at our table.

With one drink each for the two of us, our bill totaled about $150 before tip or tax. Frankly, we could have had a better meal for half the cost by finding a Longhorn or other chain restaurant. Based on this experience, we skipped breakfast the next morning.
