Chocolate at West 29th
Eric, the waiter, recommended the Burrata Caprese, hands down - and he was right!

Some people think the bathroom doesn't matter, but it really is part of the experience, and West 29th did not ignore the ladies powder room!

I love the vibe of this place--bar area right when you walk in if you want relaxed, dining room which is a bit more upscale, or a well lit patio area if it's nice. Our waiter was super nice! Not overly attentive but checked in when needed. Their bottles of wine are so well priced and the Rioja was delicious! We got the mussels as an appetizer and I would highly suggest to get something else. I love mussels and was very disappointed in the sauce (not flavorful) and mussels themselves. However, we both LOVED our main courses. We were a little nervous the Gorgonzola would be overpowering but it blended so well. Overall, I think this is a great local spot and will be back to test out more of the menu!

This is a quality establishment that serves outrageously simple and tasty dishes. The sirloin was perfectly cooked, paired with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed carrot/green bean mix. The dessert of West 29th chocolate and key lime pie are superb. Best test is a very simple meal prepared to perfection. Service was professional without being intrusive. The place is spotlessly clean and the separation of the bar and dining areas (inside and outside) helps keep a quiet dinner quiet. Definitely put West 29th on your list. And a decent value to boot!

Upbeat and lively place for either a date night, family get together or even a solo dinner. I had dinner with my sister and brother in-law. Service was prompt. We got seated as soon as we walked in. The drinks were great. not overly strong and they weren't trying to be cheap either. Our waitress was very sweet and listened to us. My sirloin was cooked medium rare and was reasoned well. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce. My sister ordered the chicken pasta. She ate that really quickly. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a snack and chat. Full bar and a great staff. Next time I'm in town to see my sister, I'll be back!

Sat at the bar on Friday night and had a great experience. Thomas, the bar tender, was excellent. Happy hour was a good deal ($30 bottle of wines, discounted beers and apps). Everything we ate had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. We had bacon wrapped dates to start, I had the chicken dish and my husband had the gorgonzola pasta. We will definitely go back and bring/friends and family. Local spot for sure.

Such an adorable spot with great patios! We made a reservation here for a small family celebration in the neighborhood where our son lives. We got seated right away and even though I was hoping to sit outside the others in the party wanted the AC on a hot evening. It was perfectly cool without being freezing. We order a bottle of wine to share and the prosciutto Brie flatbread. Both were delicious. For dinner I ordered the Gorgonzola Stroganoff with mushrooms. Unfortunately this was a bit disappointing. While the flavor was amazing, the noodles were stuck together and it was very dry.2 people in our party ordered the Tenderloin and asked for medium rare. The flavor was savory and even though it was medium rather than medium rare, they were able to enjoy the meal. The garlic mashed potatoes were very tasty. The best dish or our order was the salmon. It was tender and flaky and cooked as ordered. The Shoshito Risotto that it came on was very balanced and fresh tasting. This dish is fire!For dessert we shared my favorite, vanilla bean crème brûlée and it was creamy with perfectly caramelized sugar on top. I would definitely give this adorable and cozy place another try.

Stopped in for a happy hour in the bar area I'd west 29th and had such a nice time. The atmosphere is cozy, friendly, and familiar. Our server was great and made us delicious cocktails based on our favorite spirits when we ordered the "dealers choice" off of the happy hour menu. We also enjoyed the Mediterranean Flatbread and Burger dinner off of the happy hour menu. Will definitely be back!

This was a special first Valentine's Day with my partner because he decided to take me to West 29th--one of his favorite restaurants. Overall, it was a fun experience and lovely $100 per couple menu. Service was weird, though. Called to say we'd be a little late. On the first attempt, I got the annoying dial-up modem noise. On the second attempt, someone picked up then hung up on me. On the third attempt, the host who picked up the phone was curt and borderline rude. When I mentioned this to my partner, he said he's never been impressed by their customer service. Disappointing, but that made me more excited for the food, which turned out to be fabulous. I had the Beet Ravioli, NY Strip, and Valentine Cake. All were beautifully presented and delicious, paired perfectly with their Malbec. Would get any of those dishes again, and I'd actually love to come back and try more items on their regular menu... especially the Gorgonzola Stroganoff!

My friend suggested this place because they have a beautiful outdoor patio. And that's true! It's a really pleasant setting for a quiet meal. Once again I ordered wrong. I was more in the mood to drink, than eat. I ordered the wedge salad which came with a spicy ranch dressing. It was a pretty small salad, just two small pieces of iceberg and some dressing. All in all, we had a great time catching up over a couple of glasses of wine (which is what I came for) but it was one of the most expensive salads I think I've ever had! I shared the ravioli appetizer with my friend.$47 bucks for the salad, two glasses of wine, and a ravioli. Holy ravioli, batman! However, with that said, I will definitely return for the cozy setting and will pay more attention to what I order. The server was attentive but didn't bug us, which I appreciated it.

I've been driving by West 29th Restaurant for a few months and always thought it looked so welcoming with the patio and lights. Well the time came and I finally made a reservation. Why didn't I try this place before? This is a hidden gem of a bistro restaurant with great food, a solid wine list, excellent service and welcoming ambiance. When I told our server, Amy, that we were recent transplants to the area, she made sure we were taken care of. She provided her recommendations of her favorite items -- glad we listened. The striped bass was buttery, savory, succulent and absolutely delicious. The shrimp and grits were a fun take, shrimp stuffed inside a grit patty and deep fried. The sauces were spectacular and made the dish. Homemade (in house) pasta delicious. Affordable wine list, both by the glass and bottle. Easy parking in their lot. We will be back -- this was really good food, in a welcoming, relatively quiet setting. Can't wait to try the outdoor patio when it warms up a bit.

I generally refrain from sending food back, but this time, they left me no other option. We had to return three out of six dishes. Throughout the meal, we never received a refill on water until we asked for more when the check was being brought and we weren't asked if we wanted another round of drinks, (which was fine considering the food was so off). The server forgot to put in an order for the birthday boy (my 70 year old father), and when it finally arrived, he had to send it back. There were like 15 people in the whole place, but service took forever, both food and drinks. I don't understand it. If you like your steak cooked to order, think again--it comes out raw or rare regardless of your request. And if you love garlic, be warned: they throw in a bunch of raw garlic after cooking, overpowering every dish. I LOVE garlic, so believe me when I say, it's just too much. When I asked if there was raw garlic in the mashed potatoes, the server confirmed that raw garlic is added to every garlic dish. It takes just 30 seconds to cook garlic, so this was baffling.The chicken was overcooked and burnt black around the edges and the fries were undercooked and severely overseasoned. Think of the way your tongue feels after eating 20 or ao salt and vinegar chips. We're not picky, we don't send food back hardly ever and We've celebrated birthdays here for the past five years, but this will be our last visit. Such a disappointing experience.
