   As a hotel guest, I have dined here twice and the food has been fantastic. The service has been excellent where the team understands what hospitality means. This restaurant is top notch!

   As always, I enjoyed it. I tried the Jidori Chicken (1/2), and it was excellent (while I liked the prior “brick chicken” too, this was much more flavorful and moist, with a great sauce too). I like the ambiance of LWT, and enjoy dining there when staying at the Junto (which has been many times each year since it opened in Summer 2023).

   Karen was a sweetheart and accommodated every need. Fantastic experience with both service and food. The Junto does it right every time.

   I always enjoy eating at LWT, and have done so many times. The food is great, if a bit on the expensive end (though, given the high quality, not unusual or out of line). I might suggest offering better “pairing” options for folks who are dining there as “one-tops” (single diners). About half (actually more) of the 7-8 times I stay at the Junto each year are in connection with events for which I am often traveling by myself, and dining by myself as well. At this most recent dining experience, I tried out the new Roasted Prime Rib on the LWT menu, which was both excellent and plentiful. It comes with a “gruyere cheese popover,” perhaps best described as an airy, flaky, but sturdy, small pastry muffin — the purpose of which is to allow one to “sop up” the “au jus” renderings and beef bullion ladled sauce of the prime rib. It’s worth sopping up. As the cheese popover is not really an “accompanying vegetable,” one is also recommended to get a separate side vegetable. The most likely choices are brussels sprouts or cauliflower, with perhaps steak fries as an option (I did not consider grits or mac-and-cheese as “recommended” pairings). As an initial matter, all of these sides are an additional $14 to the $56 Prime Rib. A bit of a big add. The “second matter” is that these sides are really more in the category of “shared table vegetables.” I ordered the cauliflower, and there were probably 20 (or more) “florets” on an 8” plate — WAY MORE than what would be included as an “accompaniment vegetable” with an order (they were also a bit “icky sweet” heavily sauced — simply steamed would have been much preferred). It would be a more “friendly” option to a single diner to just get 4-5 steamed brussels sprouts (no heavy sweet saucing) on the plate along with the $56 Prime Rib. (As a side note, the excellent Rainbow Trout comes with a “built in” — and appropriately sized — side broccoli and pecan accompaniment). But, as always, an enjoyable dining experience.

   I stay at the Junto often, and usually have dinner at the Little West Tavern at least once each stay. I always enjoy it. LWT has made some changes to its menus, revising some of its “classics” and adding a few more options to choose from. One of these new options is a Rainbow Trout with a charred broccoli and pecan side accompanying vegetable. It is excellent, and I highly recommend it. LWT also has a nice ambiance “vibe.” It is a welcoming and comfortable space, with lots of nice wood, a number of brick-faced walls, and an open wood-flame grill, . . . and in nice weather, an L-shaped outdoor covered patio tracing the outside walls of the interior of the restaurant (one of which walls opens up, garage-door style, to blend the indoor with the patio when the weather favors it). It is always a nice experience dining at LWT. Yes, it is a bit on the expensive side, but it is one of those places that always offers a memorable, pleasant, and welcoming dining experience.

   Wonderful Easter lunch for 6! We had the squash tower, tortilla soup, salads, and sandwiches and everything was great. Perfect service and such a great atmosphere. We had a coffee at Maudine’s after for more time together. Highly recommend.
