Restaurants near Western Avenue Shopping Center

Always a great experience! Food is incredible and the staff is very kind and attentive.

We sat at the bar and enjoyed an amazing array of meals. Jorge was a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through the wine menu and suggesting his favorite dishes for us to try. GM Herrel made us feel welcomed from the minute we arrived. 

The first time I went to Bar Vlaha I was blown away -- by the service, ambience and the food. This time, the service was still stellar. They really take care of you here and seem to care. And the ambience is still charming. But the food -- while good -- was not amazing. The green salad was tasty and bright, but nothing to write home about. The fried mushrooms were fine, but missing a layer of depth of flavor. The dolmas -- meh. I did think the lamchops were very good and the side of greens. The best part? Our cocktails and the sorbet. Overall, I was disappointed and I very much didn't want to be because I absolutely love the vibe of this restaurant!

Excellent for dinner with friends. Great tasting Asian dishes to share and super cocktails. The decor and lighting, music, this place has a great ambience. Whether eating at high top, the fabulous long bar upstairsor low tables you'll have a great evening.

We had a stellar experience at Eastern Standard. The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktails were interesting (in a really good way!) and the space is gorgeous (although a skosh on the noisy side). But it was service that tipped our night over the top. It was exceptional: our server Jackie was absolutely wonderful. She treated our group so well, and was amazingly attentive, especially given how busy the restaurant was. This was my first time in Eastern Standard’s not-so-new-anymore space, and I don’t know why I waited!
