    On our tulip farm trip, we unexpectedly stopped by The Westgate at 09:00 PM and were impressed! Right at the entrance to your right there's a bottle shop with an outstanding selection of spirits & better yet, for a $3 fee, you can enjoy your pick with your dinner. The service stood out just as much and was kind, polite, attentive, and lightning fast. Laura Y. made our experience memorable with her professionalism and genuinely positive, spot on attitude. The space has a classy feel with brick walls and dim lighting (which sometimes made it hard to see the details of your dish). There's also a separate hall with three pool tables if you're looking for a more private setting. The food menu is short and well made, featuring a range "we liked" dishes like the Wagyu burger, the Farmboy salad, and Rick Reuben sandwich, where each was sliced and shared. As for the drinks, the menu is the kind you actually sit and explore for a while, so you better know what you want. Overall it's a great spot to enjoy quality food, awesome drinks from all over the world (Czech beers, 40 year old Spanish Porto), and a fun, relaxed time with your friends.

    Came here for a date night with my husband since the menu had something for each of our cravings. We made sure to come early since we knew it would end up packed on a Saturday. By 6pm we had one of the last tables in the place. The food menu is short. One page with everything from burgers, to salads, to steak. The cocktail and drink menu was a book. It took my husband a bit to look through all of the offerings. My husband ordered the Wagh Burger for his entree. I wanted steak so I picked the ribeye. The food didn't take long and it was presented nicely. My steak wasn't impressive and the seasonal veggie was a bit underwhelming. The garlic mash was incredible. My husband said his burger was great. They cooked it to his preferred medium rare perfectly. The fries and aioli were also great. I'd recommend coming here for the amazing sandwiches and burgers over the other entrees. There is a an area at the front where you can buy different beers and ciders. The selection was massive.

    Didn't eat, as they were out of chicken and tacos. Ordered virgin Capri Sun. Ordered a second Bartender put all alcohol in a glass for my friend. But, something was in my drink. I passed out for 3 hours.

    If you enjoy bourbon, this is the go-to spot in the Bevearton area! They offer a flight of bourbons to sample, and there are also several good cocktails to try alongside the bourbon. It tends to get pretty packed during dinner hours, so it's a good idea to make a reservation if you're coming with a large group. The food was quite tasty, although there weren't many options for traditional American cuisine.

    Pesto pasta
    Emma T.

    The staff was genuinely friendly and professional, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite hit for us. The pesto pasta in particular was overwhelming, it tasted like eating straight pesto, with far too much sauce for the dish. The menu also felt a bit all over the place, and nothing really stood out as something we'd come back for food-wise. That said, it does seem like a decent spot for drinks, and I'd consider returning for a nice cocktail or a tasting rather than a full meal.

    Ribeye was charbroil and cooked to order, yum &yum

    Great food, excellent selection, something for everyone, professional staff! Excellent for groups. Great music too.

    Such an amazing space with walls of wine and alcohol making it an amazing space Food is excellent. Appetizers were so delicious. One of a few places open up to midnight Beaverton. Great place to go after a show at the so you're not stuck in the parking lot for an hour. Everything else around here seems to close at nine.

    There was about a 40 minute wait on a Sat night during holiday season. The food and drinks are worth the wait. We were celebrating my husband's birthday with our friends. We enjoyed a couple rounds of tasty cocktails and some delicious appetizers ( sweet pita gnocchi and cheese curds) before we ordered the main event. Hubbs ordered the clam and chorizo pasta and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the huge pork chop with parsnip puree and it was delicious. I have plenty of leftovers for another day. Our friends enjoyed their meals and drinks as well. Another win for this place!

    I am not a bar food type of gal, but a friend recommended it as a dinner place. So why not? My only criteria for a food place was: new to me. Which this was! I was pleasantly surprised by the place. We were greeted promptly; no wait for a Saturday 6:30pm dinner service. I was mostly intrigued by the menu; who came up with those names? I can sit here all day reading and giggling about it. Very creative. For my boring self, I ordered the "madmartigan". It came with a patty, portabella, bacon, swiss, greens, tomato, and herb aioli WITH A SIDE of handcut fries. Score! I love me some fries. After ordering, the food came to our table of 4 pretty quickly. Pretty decent portion for the price. I demolished 1/2 the burger and ate all the fries with honey mustard. Food was served on a big plate, neatly presented, and our server was great. He checked in with us from time to time and kept our water refilled. The place had good ambience for a chill, low-key Saturday night for friends who hadn't seen each other in months. I do love their open kitchen concept, where you can "see" the chefs. Cute place. They have their own parking spot for customers. Cash or card accepted AND they were able to split the bill by couple, which was convenient.

    The drinks here are amazing! The girl with the green eyes was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The fried cheese curds were good. The gnocchi was just ok. The clams were some of the best clams I've ever had! My husbands burger was amazing as well

    e stopped by for an early birthday dinner with close friends, and The Westgate definitely did not disappoint! It had been a couple of years since our last visit, but the food and ambiance were great, proving it's still a top-notch spot. Service was friendly and great, making the entire evening enjoyable. The atmosphere is wonderfully cozy, and for spirits enthusiasts, they have an amazing selection of liquor to choose from; more than a dozen pages listing them all out! I kicked things off with the cocktail, "His Name Is Robert Paulson," which was indeed spicy as promised! For appetizers, we got the "Sweet Potato Gnocchi," which had fantastic flavor (though slightly dense/gummy in my opinion), and the "Cheese Curds," which never fail to satisfy. Dinner was the incredibly flavorful "Clam and Chorizo Pasta"--make sure to grab some bread to sop up all that delicious sauce! We finished by sharing the "Hazelnut Brown Butter Cake," which I loved, though it got mixed reviews from the rest of the table. Beyond the main area, they also have a bottle shop out front that offers a huge selection of beer and wine to purchase and take home, plus a separate room with billiard tables, darts, and shuffleboard for some fun. Can't wait to go back; it definitely won't be another two years before we do!

    The sweet potato gnocchi

    A friend suggested this place to me but I thought it was just a tasting room. A small one - like the one next to Matador in NW. Weeks later, my boyfriend says we are going here for dinner. I thought to myself that we must be "drinking" our dinner. Boy! Was I wrong! What I thought was a "tasting room" is a beautiful restaurant! It is very unassuming from the outside, but once you enter, it's a shocker. We had drinks at the bar while we waited for our table. The bf got a beer but I ordered the Paper Street House. It's a bourbon cocktail with a multitude of ingredients but the bartender had me at flamed orange peel and brown sugar syrup. For dinner, we shared the sweet potato gnocchi and Caribbean chicken (with black beans, mango and herbed rice). Both were DELICIOUS!! Our server, a blonde woman who reminded me of Adele (the singer). She worked the front dining area on the evening of August 1st - was great! She was knowledgeable about the menu, professional and had a very friendly demeanor. We stopped to take photo's in their front house beer & wine shop on our way out - which was lovely (one doesn't usually use the word lovely in the same sentence as beer and wine shop, but it was). Hopefully we get to come back sooner than later. What a gem for Beaverton!

    Cool atmosphere

    Amazing place! This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. I got the Keymaster sandwich and it was so delicious! I would ask for it extra toasted next time. I got a side of pickled peppers to add to it and asked for the mustard aioli instead of the pesto aioli. The highlight of the meal was the Rueben. It was the best Rueben I have ever had! And the fries were amazing and the dip they serve with it! Honestly, some of the best fries I have ever had! I l ordered a margarita and it was the real deal! The ambience is really fun and we had great service. Highly recommend this place! Wish I lived closer!

    Does Katie work there? Did she type out "You're an Asshole" of the customer's receipt or is there a prefilled out menu item for this?

    No, Katie would *never* write that on someone's check. We have a cocktail named 'You're an A**hole, Mr. Burton', which was ordered by the table. It's too long of a name to print on the receipt so it gets shortened to 'You're an A**hole'. It is… Read more

    Do they take reservations for large groups?

    They do not unless you're a member

    Are there gluten free bun or bread options?

    They have a gluten free bun option!

    Are they open for dine in?

    Yes

    Will you be opening for dine in soon?

    Are there seriously no menu prices, ANYWHERE online? I'd love to try this place but I don't want to drive all the way out with no clue on prices.

    Look at the pictures of the menus, the prices are listed at the end of the menu item description.

    Anyone know if they have a Vega menú?

    Does this place have live music? If so, when?

    Never seen anyone play there the many times we've hung out for dinner. There doesn't appear to be any room in the small dining area for a singer or small band, however, we… Read more

    How long is the wait approximately for Sunday evenings?

    Get there early like 5 and it's not bad. They let u drink while u wait, so enjoy a cocktail and your date while you wait!

    What is the dress code?

    It's casual

    Are minors allowed to play pool?

    Westgate has a cut off time for minors coming in (5:30pm?), however I believe all areas are accessible to minors up to that time. You'll probably want to call ahead to confirm.

Each time, I spoke with the owner to make a reservation, and the process was incredibly easy and accommodating. The food, drinks, and service were excellent on both visits.

The atmosphere is such a vibe. there's always a great DJ, making it perfect for either a date night or a girls night out. The menu is made up of smaller plates, which makes it so much fun to order a variety of dishes and share with the table.
