Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Westminster

One of a kind experience. Celebrated my wife’s birthday here and can’t say enough about the service, food and overall experience. Certainly see why this has a Michelin star.

It was our second visit and it was just as wonderful. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The ambience takes you back in time with their touch of old school class. The barware they’ve chosen, white tablecloths, dark walls. This is not a place where you are competing with the noise of an open kitchen and music that is too loud. Just the right amount of sound coming from conversation and eating utensils hitting the plate. Prices are right and the food is excellent. It’s not a big menu but we hope to try everything at some point!

Food was delicious and creative. Our waiter was friendly, but there were only two servers and every table was taken, so maybe one more server would’ve meant we would have seen him more. We had the bananas foster sticky bun (omg) the cider braised pork Benedict (very good) and the squash hash (creative and very tasty).

EL FIVE was a great place for my son's birthday. The ambiance and food were amazing. And staff were all so attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the menu. The chef sent out some incredible dishes to our table. CATY was a fantastic server, knowledgeable and great personality to make our experience top notch.

My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!
