   I had not been to West Tasting room in awhile and was looking forward to bringing my husband and friends. At the end of the meal we noticed a 3% service fee was added to the bill and then on top of that when paying by credit card the starting point was 20% for a tip. Seemed to be asking a lot and turned my husband off. I don't remember then asking for so much in the past. I don't mind tipping but I don't like the way they asked.

   Hi Jean, thank you for visiting us, we appreciate your business. Tipping is never mandatory and neither is the 3% service fee. However, we don't feel that suggesting a 20% tip upon register checkout is a lot for the service that we provide. We do it for the benefit of our employees as unfortunately, food and beverage salaries as an industry standard, do not provide the same stability or benefits as other industries do. We will never ask for tips or charges and there is always a custom tip option if you'd like to leave less or whatever amount you feel is appropriate.

   Wonderful atmosphere with exceptional service and food to enjoy with your wine. Whether visiting before the theater, for a meeting or enjoying the company of friends, WEST is a great choice for a casual and comfortable afternoon or evening! Amy, Lindsey, Rachel, Laura and the rest make you feel like family from the first visit!

    This was our first time going here and being huge wine fans, we were excited to try it. Boy were we disappointed. First of all, upon walking in it's IMPOSSIBLE to hear anyone in this space. It's honestly as loud as a nightclub and it's just a small little strip mall space. I'm guessing it's the acoustics or something but it's intense. The wine list is meh, especially for a place calling itself a "wine tasting" place. Very few wines, nothing great. No one explaining them or excited to introduce you to anything new. The menu is limited but that seems appropriate for what it is. We had a charcuterie plate and one of the salads and the food was fine, though nothing too exciting. But the worse part was the service. Our waitress took our order and basically we never saw her again. Someone else dropped off the food. We were never asked if we needed anything, or if everything was okay. Never. Which seems especially strange since I told her it was our first time there. I had to flag down a busboy to get us more water, twice. And later it seemed she was actually gone as she was nowhere to be seen, so when a man walked by (manager? don't know), I had to ask him for more wine. To top it off, there is a very strong burning smell from their pizza oven that made both of our eyes water and sting from the minute we walked in. Almost like when fires are happening around here and it hurts to be outside. It was very noticeable to both of us and we left with red, stinging eyes. Very subpar. Will not be back, nor would I recommend it.
