You can tell Daniel (the owner) actually cares about how everything runs. The place is clean, organized, and everything flows smoothly without feeling rushed. And Christina... she's seriously the best. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and actually helps guide you through the menu. She was on point with the specials and made great recommendations. We even got into a conversation about her trip to Peru, which was a really cool touch it felt natural, not forced, and made the whole experience better. We started with the Leche de Tigre, and it was a perfect opener, fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. You get that brightness from the lime with just the right kick, plus the calamari added a nice texture. We also tried one of the specials, the causa, which was light but still full of flavor and a great way to start. For the mains, we went all in. The Cowboy Steak (18 oz bone-in ribeye) was easily the highlight, cooked right, super flavorful, and paired with the huancaína risotto and that huacatay butter... yeah, that combo is no joke. We also had the pollo a la brasa (special, marinated 24 hours), and you can tell it was super juicy, well-seasoned, and done right. We also had the pasta con mariscos, and this one deserves its own mention. Homemade pasta with shrimp, calamari, and mussels in a chupe-style tomato broth rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Definitely one of those dishes you keep going back to. And I'm not even exaggerating... the table bread with the butter? We were eating like it was part of the main course. That butter is ridiculously good. Dessert sealed it. The lava cake with lucuma ice cream was warm, rich, and balanced out perfectly by the ice cream. We also tried the house-made guanábana sorbet, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to finish after a heavy meal. The vibe is what really ties it all together. It's casual enough to hang out with friends and talk, but still nice enough for a date night or bringing family. It doesn't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Overall, everything just clicked: food, service, atmosphere. No weak spots. Definitely coming back. This version is clean, structured, and reads like someone who actually understands what they're talking about, not just listing food.

First time coming to West Ave Grille after driving and walking by it for many many years…read more Always seemed to hear great things about it, so wanted to see what the hype was really about. Ordered the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes and TBA Wrap (Turkey, Bacon Avocado). The pancakes were amazing and I loved the crisp edges and how the flavor permeated through all the layers. Really crushed these! The wrap was also good, very fresh and the waffle fries were nice. Overall a great experience and great service and vibes within the restaurant. Only complaint would be it is a little pricey but assume that's due to their playing off their Food Network "fame" maybe. Definitely will still go back to try some more items!

I'm honestly still very disappointed with West Ave Grille. My husband and I used to go here all the…read moretime, and it was one of our go-to places for breakfast. Our meals would usually cost around $35 at most, so imagine our shock when we went in one day and were charged over $150 for TWO people. We ordered something as simple as bacon, eggs, home fries, and orange juice. Then we realized they were charging everything à la carte, even charging us separately for the eggs. When I questioned the manager about the bill, her response was simply that "prices went up." There was no real concern or attempt to explain why a basic breakfast for two had suddenly become over $150. At that point, I honestly felt like we had been overcharged. For those prices, I would expect a completely different level of experience. I shouldn't have to pay $150+ for two people to eat bacon, eggs, home fries and drink orange juice. Needless to say, we haven't been back since. It's not even about the money at this point. It's the principle and how the situation was handled. When you have loyal customers who have been coming to your restaurant for years, you shouldn't make them feel like they've been taken advantage of and then dismiss their concerns. Very disappointing because we genuinely used to enjoy coming here.

While it was crowded we were waited on quickly and had service that was attentive but not overbearing. We started with cinnamon rolls that were perfectly soft and warm and came with a side of extra icing, which was a really nice touch. For lunch I had shrimp and grits. The flavor was good and presentation was nice. The shrimp were small, but there was a generous amount which helped offset the size. The space is open and has a nice mix of tables and booths. There are a lot of large windows, and it was freezing on the day we went so the restaurant interior was also freezing. They do have a fireplace, which is a nice touch, but didn't help with warmth. Overall this is a great spot with a wide variety of food options and would be ideal for families. Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5

I settled for the house cold brew, which was great. Love that it came in its own flask and a coffee cube. I also requested milk on the side in lieu of creamer or sweet foam. Both the Nashville spicy honey wrap and the chicken pesto panini hit the spot. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely go for the Nashville wrap again. That sweet, savory, and very mildly spicy chicken was just *chef's kiss* Service was fast, and our server was super sweet and attentive! We enjoyed a wonderful brunch, and I'd be keen on coming back again.

I ordered the Don Esteban salad, but noticed right away that it was missing the avocado and guacamole. There was also an overwhelming amount of cubed cheese--so much that I wasn't sure if I was eating a salad or just a plate of cheese. My husband ordered the burrito bowl without rice, and again, more than 30% of it was just cheese. For dessert, we got the tres leches, but it didn't taste quite right--it seemed like it was missing the sweetened condensed milk that gives it the traditional flavor and texture. I might come back to try a different dish, but if I'm really craving Mexican food, I'll probably stick with El Limon.

When you walk in, there's a small host stand, the kind of spot where you'd expect to be greeted and seated. It was lunch time so I don't mind standing and waiting or a seat yourself situation because maybe the daytime fit is more casual, but it was very unclear what the expectation was which made the first impression very meh. The mix of people coming in for takeaway coffee versus sit-down dining created confusion and bottlenecking with the flow. People were walking in and ordering, then standing wherever, behind us, some walking past us directly to the counter, some stopping in front of us, none being acknowledged. We were all kind of like fish swimming in all directions. It was weird. The empty floor space and table with merch in front of the Germantown Rd windows could be better utilized to create intentional waiting/lounging/ gathering areas. Service, once we were seated, was thoughtful and unhurried. Food at first glance looked standard but after taking a bite it was clear that the menu is both approachable and chef-driven. There is real care being put into their dishes. Note: cocktails were not available despite being given drink menus. An overall pretty good experience. I want to love this place, especially since the neighborhood has a real gap when it comes to consistent operational hours & delicious food. For now, I'm in like with Blue Warbler.
