West On Centre

When life gives you lemons, they say make lemonade. But when West on Centre gives you takeout, you might need a bit more creativity.Let's start with the Margherita pizza. I was ready for that perfect combination of fresh basil, tangy tomato sauce, and oozy, gooey mozzarella. Instead, I opened the box to find a doughy canvas, where the cheese had decided to stage a mutiny and abandon ship. It looked like a post-modern art piece: "The Great Cheese Escape." All the cheese was clumped together like it was trying to make a getaway to a better pizza.Now, on to the steak tips and fries. The steak tips were decent, but the fries... Oh, the fries. They were charred to a crisp. If I wanted to taste the essence of the grill itself, I would have ordered charcoal. I don't know what kind of grudge the chef had against these fries, but it must have been personal. They were blackened beyond recognition, serving as a stark reminder that even potatoes can meet an untimely end.On the bright side, if you're a fan of avant-garde pizza presentations and like your fries extra, extra well done, this place is perfect for you! Otherwise, you might want to stick to their dine-in options or have a backup plan for when your dinner takes an unexpected turn.In conclusion, West on Centre's takeout experience was a rollercoaster ride through culinary mishaps and burnt offerings. Proceed with caution and maybe a sense of humor, because you'll definitely need it.

Great dinner spot in West Roxbury. Really kind and welcoming service, too. I had the trout and brussel sprouts-- highly reccomend. The real winner though was the banana bread pudding. I now realize that "banana bread pudding from West on Centre" is a new way to spell "heaven."

We have been here before but decided to return. We had Point Judith calamari, garlic knots, margarita pizza, fish and chips, quinoa salad. The waitress was beyond wonderful, her name was Ella, top rated, friendly, and accommodating with a smile the whole time. The food runner (sorry forgot the actual name) was so polite and great at his job. We loved the dining side of the restaurant. The open kitchen had a lot going on, sometimes the smell (not bad, just a lot) was overpowering. The mixed drinks are phenomenal! Highly recommended! (Sorry for lack of pictures) I will update next time.

Generally good food and service, my waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However the ambiance was a bit overwhelming as there was both clamorous conversation paired with music being played as well. The chicken was also a bit dry and unseasoned though the broccoli and mashed potatoes were delicious.

I love this place. It's usually not crowded, has a nice open floor plan, a bar side that plays music (not too loud), has a fire place, and a downstairs area I believe for functions. We got seated quickly. I brought my mom for her birthday brunch and had an amazing food experience. Ordered the best eggs Benedict I've ever had with well seasoned home fries. Had no complaints at all. I could have eaten another order they were so good. Mom ordered the steak and eggs which was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I think someone overheard me say it was her birthday and when we were done they brought her a nice desert that was like a chocolate lava brownie with ice cream, whip cream, chocolate drizzled over the plate with a candle. Was super impressed. Came again the Saturday before Easter Sunday with my youngest son and he loved the eggs Benedict as well.My birthday fell on that Easter Sunday and my wife wanted to bring me but thought I had spoiled my appetite being that I was just there the day before. She was wrong! We went again but there was something different going on. They had a buffet style brunch happening which I was ok with since they had what I wanted. The strange part was the cost vs what we actually ate and the waiter not actually having to do anything but bring out drink and a check. When we went to serve our food I came across a couple dirty plates and some still wet from whatever they use to clean them. Got back to my table w the food and my utensils were dirty with food. Wasn't pleasant. I felt like we ate less than what we paid for sure. It's still my "go to" for brunch from now on but I'll make sure my stuff is clean when I get served.

Came here July 23, 23 for lunch first time trying my Mother recommended this place. I tried the teriyaki chicken lollipop as a appetizer and for the main dish the bolognese dish and got the butter cake for dessert. The chicken was delicious cooked moist and very tasty the teriyaki sauce was great! The bolognese was good had lamb, sausage and beef with pasta the sauce was very good, but only thing was needed more meat it had plenty of pasta not enough meat. But the dish was good. The dessert was phenomenal! The butter cake was dense moist and rich! But not overly rich just right it came with ice cream and raspberry or strawberry syrup on it! Will come back again and try brunch next time! Host was very welcoming and the place was clean and the bathroom was clean!

we enjoyed trying crab cakes in different restaurants but this one was definitely different because it was overfilled with sauce, maybe too much sauce. The crab cakes can be a bit warmer. The pizza was good, thin pizza and crust. The bolognese was ok. The mexican burger was very flavorful and definitely filling even though it didnt seem like it.

West on Centre is my go-to favorite brunch spot where I come with my boyfriend almost every weekend. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the vibe is upscale without being pretentious, and most importantly, the food is delicious! If you are getting breakfast, I recommend the California Omelette, which I like to order with whole eggs (instead of egg whites) and sliced avocado instead of guacamole. (Yes, I am picky, but they are happy to make substitutions). For lunch, I like the Southwest Chipotle Chicken Chopped Salad and my BF likes the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich. We've also been here for dinner and enjoyed the BBQ Tenderloin Tips with creamy whipped potatoes, grilled asparagus spears and crispy onion strings. West on Centre is a really classy place and they make their customers feel like family.

My parents love this place when they visit. We went for dinner once and brunch another time. It was empty for brunch. Overpriced to a certain extent but what isn't these days?

A group of us came in after we got off of work last night and we had the best time. It was my first time going (others in my group frequent the spot) and I absolutely loved it. It was the perfect late night spot for us to unwind and let loose. There was a really fun mix of people - different ages, different backgrounds, different occasions, good mix of regulars and first timers, etc. - and yet everyone seemed to get along and blend seamlessly. It's hard to put into writing but there was just an all around really fantastic vibe throughout the place and great energy from both the staff and the customers. I want to specifically mention (and thank) the two bartenders (Josh + Pat) who were working last night as they certainly helped make our experience what it was. Josh and Pat seemed to have a really good rhythm working together behind the bar and, as a result, were both diligent and efficient with what they were doing while simultaneously creating a fun and inviting atmosphere. Perhaps most notable was the fact that both bartenders seemed very attentive to customers' needs and very in tune with what was happening at and around the bar. Pat went out of his way to check in on us (a group of females) not once but twice to make sure that another customer's behavior was not bothering us or making us feel uncomfortable. We assured Pat that we were fine (we actually enjoyed the other customer and found him to be quite friendly and entertaining). However, it stood out to all of us that Pat went out of his way to discretely make sure that we felt safe and comfortable.I am looking forward to my next visit and will DEFINITELY be back.
