    Herb crusted chicken over mashed potatoes and veggies, and a salad
    Annie N.

    We came here on a Saturday for dinner and it was packed at the restaurant! I made a reservation on yelp for a party of 5 to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. I highly recommend making a reservation if you're coming here on a weekend. We ordered cocktails and food, and surprisingly the food came out before our drinks. Turns out our drink order got lost somewhere along the way but our waiter came and let us know that the drinks would soon come out since he realized it was taking a while. For food, I ordered the herb crusted chicken that came with mashed potatoes and veggies. The chicken was pretty good and the mashed potatoes were also decent. My mother in law got the salmon dish and enjoyed it. One of the best dishes at the table was the steak burger. We had ordered a salad with chicken at our table, and they had forgotten to add the chicken but quickly corrected it. We eventually got our drinks and another server or manager came to apologize as well for the inconvenience. For the birthday dessert, we chose the bread pudding and a few of the staff members sang happy birthday which was nice. This seems like a very popular spot in Gilroy and I think we caught them on one of their busiest nights so I understand some of the hiccups. I appreciate that the staff was kind and apologetic. I would give this place another try at a less busy time

    I get the impression that this place is " Gilroy good". Let's be honest , Gilroy doesn't have a ton of good restaurants -let alone somewhere where you would want to bring a date to. I have tried this place twice now ( about 4 years apart) , and both times I felt that the food was good , but not out of this world good. In fact , the menu looks the exact same as it did when I was here last time. I get that you can't be everything for all people , but I would like to see a little creativity in the menu -especially at these menu prices. Although I had a reservation at 530, one of the staff members advised that we sit in the bar to get served faster. We sat in the smallest table crammed up against the wall right where all the wait staff come and go- not a pleasant experience to say the least. For my entree , I opted for the pork chops with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The pork was cooked evenly and the maple glaze sauce was pretty good. The veggies were slightly undercooked with not much flavor to offer. For dessert, we opted for the Dutch apple Gizdich Ranch pie with ice cream. If you have lived in this area for any length of time , you know how good these pies are. In summary, this place serves a purpose. They offer a place to go to impress your significant other -in a town with not a lot of options. Just temper your expectations on the food - it's just OK.

    Inside, though we ate outside which was nice on a Sunday

    Dude, this is such the great breakfast spot on Sunday. I'm not normally on this area but on a drive back from down south up 101 and needing a bite, couldn't have chosen better. We had avocado toast. Had a fried egg in top of avocado and a little water cress garnish. Perfectly toasted bread. Breakfast burrito (flour tortilla, scrambled eggs, chorizo, avocado, tomatoes, pinto beans, jack and white cheddar) was huge and then it came with hashed brown on the side too. Denver scramble (ham, onion, bell pepper, jack and cheddar) was as huge as the burrito but felt lighter without the tortilla. Omelette... same story. Had a fruit salad on the side with this one. I can't remember our servers name but she was super nice. We sat outside under an umbrella on a pretty hot day but it was quite tolerable. Looking forward to my next opportunity to visit.

    Westside Grill was listed as a local spot in Gilroy for dinner. We had a party of four and did a walk-in without reservation and was able to get a table very quickly. It was a few minutes before we were greeted for drinks and we ordered cocktails. They had a variety of beer, wines, and cocktails from the bar and a few special items listed on a side menu. We decided against appetizers, but we did order a a few different items off the menu including the Gilroy garlic festival pasta with linguine, a prime rib with vegetables, an Alfredo pasta dish, and also a fillet with mashed potatoes. Each dinner item came with a salad or soup and we had a variety of dinner salad, lobster bisque, and the best one was a clam chowder They did have dessert menus that I would imagine delicious but we opted not to order. Our waiter was very helpful, professional and delightful for service and appearance. The restaurant manager did come by to ask if we were enjoying our dinner and any problems or thoughts on our dinner and we said it was exceptional. I would recommend this restaurant & definitely come back too. Thank you for a nice dinner to add to our Gilroy day.

    What started as a quick breakfast on the way back from Carmel to San Jose, Westside Grill knocked us out of the park with its beautiful outdoor dining, great service, and fantastic food. Parking is incredibly easy to find since it's in a commercial area. When we arrived we were seated in the outdoor dining area which is more of a courtyard, in a good way. The interior is very nice as well with TVs, a bar, definitely a much more intimate feel. Either way, the outdoors has umbrellas so you don't feel too burdened by the heat. We were greeted by our amazing server who was very attentive to us throughout the entire meal, making small talk and just having a great energy. That's one that stuck out here, the service was incredible and very on top of it. We never lifted a finger or worried about a thing, it was all taken care of before a thought could occur. Onto the food, we ordered the buttermilk pancakes with a side of bacon, the breakfast burrito, and some coffee. Coffee is always pretty much whatever you make for yourself so nothing special there. What was special was the size of the food we got. In California we are so used to shrinkflation but the burrito was the size of a human head, it was incredible. On top of that the cost of the food was good, the value was apparent. Some places make big portions but lose their quality in the process, not here. The pancakes were light and fluffy, just delicious. The bacon was crispy, not overcooked; floppy, not soggy. The breakfast burrito was out of this world. At first we had to come up with a plan of attack on how we wanted to approach this monster but after the first bite it was so damn good we threw the plan out the window. The hash brown that came with the burrito? Also great, salty and crunchy, but again not over or under cooked. By the end of the meal we were shocked. Between the beautiful outdoor dining area, the food, the service, price, everything; this was such a wonderful surprise that really caught us off guard. Unfortunately for us, this is in Gilmore, not anywhere near us. However, it was largely unanimous amongst our group that if this place was anywhere closer or if we lived in Gilmore, we would be here without fail every single weekend. Unbelievable food, unbelievable value. Please do yourself a favor and come out to Westside Grill, you won't regret it.

    Our waiter, Oscar, was phenomenal! He was quick, helpful and friendly! We arrived Friday night at 6:30pm and it was packed! Family friendly and lighting was a little dim. They have tvs at the bar with the games on. So much food, we all left satisfied with very full bellies. I had the crab and avocado melt. It came with clam chowder and fries. Everything was delicious! Most of us ordered the same thing. One friend got the lobster bisque instead of the clam chowder and it was creamier than expected. Another friend ordered the jambalaya pasta and really enjoyed it. Of course we had to try dessert. Shared the apple pie and bread pudding. Bread pudding was different than any other bread pudding I've ever had but both were very tasty. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.

    Amazing salads
    Leslie M.

    We made a reservation for 6 PM on a Friday night. I was a little taken aback when we got there and it was packed inside near the hostess stand. I stayed outside while my husband checked us in. The wait was gonna be a little bit, so my husband went and got us some gin from the bar. He came back and said it was a bit expensive, but they were super heavy pours. After about 10 minutes, we were seated and the service was amazing. Super attentive and the food came out fast. We had the Ahi appetizer which was outstanding. We each got salad instead of soup and it was yummy with bleu cheese dressing and crumbles. Hubby had the blackened salmon which he loved, and I had the halibut which was fantastic. We eat keto so they were very acceptive to asking for double veggies instead of rice or potatoes. We will definitely be back.

    Chile Verde & Eggs.  I will definitely order this next time!

We had a party of 10, 6 adults and 4 kids and were able to get seated immediately. Very clean modern place with a really nice and well stocked bar. Food was an interesting combination of pub food and asian fusion, which just happened to fit our tastes. I had the loco moco and my partner had the mushroom risotto. Food was tasty without feeling too heavy for gastropub food and the servers was super attentive to us and the kids. Our friends liked their poke bowl and katsu curry as well. Shout out to our server who went above and beyond getting a toy our toddler dropped behind the bench. Definitely a place to consider if you need a place to rest and eat when you come thru Gilroy, hopefully next time we will get a chance to try our the cocktails!

We ordered garlic butter noodles 4 Yam fries 5 flavorful and crispy with a spicy dip. Seafood boil 4.5 good quality and flavors, I felt it was a tad salty, but I won't complain. Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.
