    Grilled Salmon Filet 8oz
    Seanniece B.

    Service was great! Good options for different dietary needs. I had the smashed potatoes, charred broccolini, and salmon. I really liked the smashed potatoes and the salmon. I didn't eat the roe. I did send the charred broccolini back. Not because it wasn't good but for some reason the combination made me nauseous. But that's just me. Perhaps if I just got it plain, it wouldn't been fine.

    Yum!!! I love little west tavern! The small dining room is a very nice change from the large restaurants downtown! The food is always so good! They have one of my favorite burgers in cbus!

    I came to the little west tavern EXTREMELY hungry and they did not disappoint. The chicken was juicy and the rigatoni was the perfect complement. The ambience is comfortable and cozy, the service is attentive but not overbearing, and different staff will sometimes come check on you to ask how you're enjoying your meal--I appreciated that! This was a very nourishing meal that really hit the spot on a stressful and intense trip. Located on the first floor of the Junto, it's the perfect spot at the end of a long day to relax and have some great food!

    I really wanted to like Little West Tavern. The concept is solid--a wood-hearth neighborhood spot at The Junto Hotel with that independent American West vibe, indoor and outdoor seating, and a menu focused on wood-fired cuts and classic drinks. It looks and feels cool, and I can see why people would be drawn in. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match the atmosphere at all. I ordered the Tavern Burger and onion rings, while my friend got the crispy pork belly and a burger. The service was disengaged from the start, and the food timing was a mess. My burger came out first and was way overcooked. They had to take it back and remake it, which took so long that by the time my food finally arrived, my friend had already finished their entire meal. Everything just unraveled from there. The wait killed any chance of enjoying the meal together, and the burger (when it finally showed up) wasn't worth the wait. The vibe is nice, but between the poor service and the kitchen mishaps, nothing about this visit makes me want to return. Disappointing all around.

    Service remains good. Crowded for a Friday. Don't get the ceviche. Bland. They need to bring back the shishido peppers!

    Mac and Mac & Cheese was amazing. You could really taste the Smokey flavor

    Food was pretty good but service was a little slow. The ambiance was very nice with the wood fire grill and the speakeasy leather tones.

    This place looks great and the drink prices aren't too bad buuutt $42 8oz skirt steak. $26 burger. Poor people be warned they don't want you here. lol jk jk it is pretty though. Bartender Nicole was awesome. Try her drink the Coal Miners Daughter. Will be back just for the bar, but that burger price is almost offensive.

    Lovely interior space.

    My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful lunch at the Little West Tavern! We knew it was going to be great when we called ahead to make sure they were open for the Fourth of July and Erica answered the phone and was absolutely tickled to know we were on our way from a protest to have lunch. When we arrived, she had already told our waitress, Nichole, and she welcomed us like we were lifelong friends! The recommendation she made, the avocado and shrimp salad, was perfect on a hot summer day. We added the scrumptious macaroni and cheese because we wanted some comfort food, and it was phenomenal! The atmosphere of this cute little restaurant and bar was warm and inviting, and we will absolutely be back. And for the record, Nichole was one of the best servers I've ever had, and I can only hope everybody that goes gets a chance to enjoy her warmth, humor, and graciousness!

    Came in on a Friday night for an early dinner. We were promptly seated. Our server was a college…read morestudent that recognized my tee shirt (Birds Aren't Real) and commented that he did a research project on the same. Really nice kid. He also helped us with the menu. We both got the fried chicken BLT, the spoon bread and mac & cheese. The spoon bread is simple corn bread, but it was really good. The mac & cheese was homemade and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

    Love this place!…read more Came in here last weekend and sat outside for a warm spring evening. We did make a reservation somewhat last second, but were easily able to get an outdoor table. We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

I've been here for drinks before but tonight was dinner at the inside bar area. Service is great. Very friendly and attentive. Miriam regularly checked on me for both delivery of my meal as well as any drink needs. The Caesar salad is not traditional as it also had tomatoes. Interesting flavors. For my main course, I got the Steak Frites. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare and properly seasoned. The fries were excellent. Well done. The music is kind of loud as it caters to the bar atmosphere. Lighting is a bit low. It all fits the atmosphere well. Great service, good drinks and food. Lots of great appetizer choices too.

    3.5 star for the service 3 star for the food…read more 5 star for the vibes and interior design This place is more for wow factors and the vibes, if you are a picky foodie, it might not be a perfect spot. Really in love with its vibes, both indoor dining room with different segments of seatings and outdoor patio tables are amazing. The interior design here is truly unique and artistic. Great for big groups, date night, or even just chilling with friends. Not sure if it's the standard here, but there was never anyone filling our water during the entire dining time after they left 2 bottles of water on the table. Our server is patient and friendly but not on point. They messed up our orders, forgot one order and brought one wrong (we ordered smashed burger but received chicken sandwich). Very surprising that the staff didn't do anything or offer to send in the correct order. The chef of table service for Tomahawk is fun and enjoyable to carry conversations but unfortunately our Tomahawk was overcooked. We loved the presentation for sure though. Their smoked ribs is not "smoked" but boiled and soaked in sauce. The "smoked" part refers to its presentation, but their machine was down, and we were not told, so we basically got the ribs, neither smoked in cooking method nor smoked when it was brought to our table. The donut tree is another one great for eyes and cameras. It comes with little fireworks at the table service. Overall we enjoyed the breeze and atmosphere here. Will come back for relaxation if in town.

Our plan was to get to the restaurant 45 min early to have a drink at the bar before our reservation. We arrived and were told that the bar was also on a waiting list to sit down and it wasn't first come first served; even the tables in the bar area. So we out our name in for the bar, and waited. We waited over an hour. In this hour, we saw the same hostess that told us we needed to wait for a seat at the bar/bar table tell another couple they could sit at the open table. When I asked her about it, she said "oh sorry, your table will be ready soon." This was pretty disappointing. We finally sat in the back room about 30 min after our scheduled reservation and never got a drink at the bar. Dinner was good. The rolls were great. We might return, but were pretty turned off by the bar situation.
