West Restaurant + Bar

Editorial Review

Not only can you eat at the bar, but this top-ranked restaurant merits a visit just for one of David Wolowidnyk's award-winning Kaffir Fling cocktails. Then enjoy local, seasonal ingredients, especially fish and seafood, starring in an elegant food porn peep show from the shimmering glass-enclosed kitchen of Chef David Gunawan. With state-of-the-art wine storage and at least three sommeliers on the impeccable service team every night (as well as weekday lunches and weekend brunches), passion unites the drive for excellence here, ravishing even the most sophisticated palates.
