    Food was hot and fresh (did take a while but wasn't too bad) and yummy.  Staff was very pleasant.  Good selection on the menu.  Very nice outdoor seating area.

    Got steak tips from here a few nights ago and I must say-- well done. They were as tender as I've had and delicious. A huge portion of meat and the mashed potatoes were awesome too.

    They have a new patio I noticed when I was picking up my food and I am dying to go back to take advantage-- it seems way too difficult to find decent bars/restaurants with outdoor space, so I will absolutely be taking advantage!

    Can't wait to go back!

    What a nice place! We went for lunch and had calamari (not too heavily breaded, beet salad, fish tacos and Oreo pie). It was better than typical pub food. The waitress was new and couldn't really answer some questions about the menu but was pleasant so I don't fault here. A great find.

    Every time I have been here, the staff has been friendly, the service has been great and the food has been delicious. So far I have been there twice, and tried the steak tips, and a burger. Both times it was excellent and I was incredibly pleased. When I have also brought guests there, they have always left happy and satisfied! Personally, I am not much for seafood, but I have heard that their seafood dishes are also excellent.

    The food is okay. Nothing really blows me away; standard pub food with minimal spices and flavor. It's a neighborhood bar, so it gets a pass. The daily specials make this place worth visiting as you can find interesting meals that you wouldn't see elsewhere at a place like this.

    This is my fav place to eat locally we go there all the time for a quick lunch, relaxed dinner, or to get a few drinks....LOVE this place! Even my 8 yr old son loves it.

        Boneless buffalo chicken is phenomenal, sausage mixed grill is delishhhh, steak tips ...yummmm. (and believe it or not, im a VERY picky eater ) and onion rings are the dry battered ones, kinda like Kelly's but better.

        Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is usually dim and cozy. I prefer going during week nights, wkends can get a bit loud on the bar side of the restaurant it's not a big place. Owners are great. Overall awesome neighborhood tavern :)

    Great food, environment and service. I wish I had found it sooner. The prices are great for the quality too. I got the steak tips, which were delicious and my boyfriend got the pork special. We will definitely make it a regular in the rotation.

    Shepard's pie was great last time! This time I'm getting the fish tacos that are unique to their lunch menu. They sound delicious!

    *update*

    The fish tacos are incredible!

    I actually can't believe the good reviews here. This place is filthy and the food is terrible and overpriced.  Service is ok in the dining room but the bar tenders are all rude. Sitting at the bar you can see into the kitchen, and the cook was grimy,the owner was dipping his fingers in the food to check the temperature. Just gross.

    We've had the pizza (not homemade Crust), veggie wrap, and tips. All were gross (went here twice and dined with my husband). But here's the worst - my second time in at the bar I saw them microwaving my turkey burger, and saw plenty of other things coming out of the microwave. The turkey burger was terrible - dry and bland.  After two awfully visits and $100 down the drain (did I mention this place was overpriced) I will never return.

    What a treat to discover this fabulous pub right in my new neighbourhood. The crab cakes were absolutely delicious and the house salad was fresh and filling.  My husband had a salad with grilled chicken which was also great.  Saturday night dates will definitely be here from now on.

    This has become one of our regular favorites. Have had the veggie burger, turkey burger & scrod dinner which is one of our favorites. The fresh vegetables are great as well.  West street does a very nice side salad too.  My guilty pleasure is the "lemontini"  ;-)   We find the prices to be reasonable and service is good.

    It seems a good time to reevaluate West Street Tavern, particularly given the recent comments of another reviewer. who pronounced that she is not a snob, yet uses ethnic slurs such as "townie Guidos" to describe the open, friendly, diverse group of patrons at the pub.  By the way, don't let my name fool you. I am an Irish female and surely don't qualify as a "Guido", nor do I qualify as a "townie".

    My favorite local restaurant by far is West Street Tavern.  The bar staff is attentive, efficient, and make a terrific drink.  The wait staff is friendly, outgoing and always willing to please.  You need only tell them your name once or twice and they will remember you the next time you visit.  Often they will also remember what you drink.  

    The food is a mix of pub fare with some more elaborate dishes on a daily special menu that have proven to be high quality, delicious food.  The Chef does an excellent job of making sure there is something for everyone.  I have sampled everything from the chili and burgers to the mussels and steaks.  The appetizers, sandwiches and meals are always tasty and satisfying.

    West Street Tavern is a terrific place to grab a bite, a beer, and watch a football game on one of several flat screen TVs.  The pub recently opened an outdoor patio and, though I have not yet been outside, it seems pretty popular.  I am a very satisfied customer and hope that West Street Tavern will be around for a long, long time.

    Preface: I am not a snob. I've worked in fine dining, yes. I shop for high end stuff, yes. I have maybe sent back proportionately 2/10 meals that have been screwed up in my existence. Typically I don't care that much & am grateful that someone cooked for me and that I can go out with my husband once in a while (we work opposite schedules).

    But sorry, Bub- if I order a dark and stormy and send it back because it tastes like simple syrup, water and disgusting rum; don't try to top it off with coke and present it as a new drink (even if I say "if you don't have ginger beer it's ok, I'll just have a Guinness"). I'm not some 19 year old skank at a college party, please don't insult my pallet like that. There IS one bartender there who is quite nice, I think his name is Mark, but whoever was on tonight either decided me husband really needed some ass and wanted to get me tipsy or didn't know s*** from shinola as far as making a simple drink goes.

    The food is meh- the burgers are decent and they will actually cook them rare. The entrees are standard "suburbanite trying to be hip" fare. You're a pub- make pub fare (or mum's recipies) that you can execute and stay away from the Cornish hens! Anyone who says the food is "excellent" must not be able to drive within 10 miles of the place...it is mediocre at best.

    The servers are sweet without being obnoxious about it. This is the only reason why I'm giving it two stars.

    The clientele sucks. Always Newton townie guidos, always loud, always someone with a staring problem. Eyes on your own paper and let me hang out with my better half.

    In closing: even though I can walk to this place and see cute puppies on the way, I won't be going back. If I want sub par food, poorly made drinks and guidos with their loud, trashy girlfriends- I'll head on out to my hometown. Until then, I guess I'll kill the environment and drive over to The Independent...again.

    Oh West Street, I had such high hopes for you.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

    I met a friend of mine here on a Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.  Although a small table became available, we opted to sit on the side of the bar to eat.  The bartender was so friendly and affable.  He was attentive without hovering - and informative without overselling the food.  I don't know if we thought we were going to feed an army or something, but we ordered quite a bit more than we NEEDED - all of it was OUTSTANDING.

    The thing is, we ordered things (with the exception of the fried green beans which you simply MUST TRY!!!) that were pretty basic.  We ordered buffalo tenders with the hottest sauce, the aforementioned beans (I am SERIOUS FOLKS - SUPER AMAZINGLY YUMMY) and each of us had an order of steak tips.  So - pretty simple and ordinary - you know what you are getting - right?

    No - NOT right!  The chicken tenders were - well - TENDER!  You know how you usually get something that is kinda dried out and fried just a wee bit too long - NOT HERE - no Sir - these were perfectly tender and juicy - the sauce was amazing - the bleu cheese delicious.  I KNOW you are thinking - what Lady - they were CHICKEN TENDERS - seriously folks, they were indeed special!

    I don't know you fair reader, but I know you will likely scrunch up your face when I admit to you that I prefer beef well done - I know, I can see you, you are scrunching - but the steak tips were ALSO super juicy and tender - EVEN WELL DONE!  The flavor was fantastic - well marinated but not salty as some can be.  As one who does prefer meat well done I usually expect the meat to come out a bit dry - it wasn't!!!  They were the best steak tips I have had in many years.  The baked potato I had as a side was perfectly baked - the broccoli perfectly steamed retaining both crispiness and flavor while being sufficiently cooked.

    And no - I wasn't intoxicated and just THOUGHT it was delicious - I had two regular strength vodka/soda drinks over the span of about two hours...

    So - I LOVE this place and will absolutely be back even though it isn't really close to where I live OR work.  I would suggest going earlier rather than later because it was a wee bit crowded by the time we left with people clearly waiting for our seats.

    GET THE GREEN BEANS - I don't even LIKE green beans - these were DELICIOUS!!!  It wasn't the healthiest meal I have had in a while (yet, I should point out, there WERE healthy options on the menu) - but it was perhaps the yummiest in a while!

    Potato & leek cakes special was lovely, as was the staff!  This is a "foodie" Irish pub, with a very nice feel.  My husband put it well when he said the only knock on the ambiance was that it's just a little too "tidy."  I didn't mind that & really enjoyed the beer, nice food & great service.  Highly recommended--I only give 5 stars for out-of-body food experiences, and this is not quite in that league--just really good for a pub!

    I've been here twice and had a satisfying meal both times. As a vegetarian/vegan, it's hard to find places like this that offer satisfying options aside from salads, however West Street Tavern offers a few vegetarian dishes that appealed to me and could easily be made vegan. Their homemade veggie burger is AWESOME. I almost didn't even want to obscure any of the taste with condiments. Their french fries and onion rings are good, too.

    Carnivores seem to love this place, too. My friend swears by their steak tips (apparently they're the best he's ever had).

    A few things to note:

    - While quaint and comfortable inside, be advised that West Street Tavern is very small, and gets really crowded on weekend nights -- especially when there's a game going on.

    - The second time I went (on a Tuesday night) the service was very slow.

    Overall, I like this place a lot and plan to make it one of my go-to restaurants for when I want a tasty, inexpensive meal.

    Love West Street!! We come here all the time, and the food is always good. Everything is super fresh and tasty. Last time I had the Sauteed Seafood Trio. Delish! And my husband had a salmon dish that was a special that he also loved. We usually get burgers, wings and salads here (all great!) but it was cool to try something new and more upscale.
    I think it's the service that makes West St so great. The bar tenders and servers are personable and friendly - and very attentive. I have never had anything less than a wonderful experience here!!

    I love West Street.  Since the remodel, this place rocks.  The bar side is awesome and the food side has really solid above average bar food.  Tucked away in the lake, this gem seems to always be open.

    Great Food, good place. Little hard to park, but you can find a spot.
    If you are from Newton...then this is your bar. Its friendly for out of towners too. But its nice and intimate.  Service there is the tops.

    This is a great place.  I have been past here a bunch of times and decided to stop in on Friday night.  The parking is a little tight, but there is parking on the street around the corner.  The ambiance is great.  It is very cozy and welcoming.  We ordered a couple beers while we waited to sit.  The beer selection is pretty good, however the beer could have been a little bit colder.  

    When we sat down, the menu looked great.  My wife and I shared the Honey Hot wings.  They were very good, not too much sauce, but the sauce was very tasty.  We then both got burgers.  The burgers were a little overcooked, but tasted great nonetheless.  The waitress was very friendly.

    I recommend going here, we will be back for sure.

    My husband and I stopped in early on Saturday night and sat at the bar.   It was fairly quiet then, but did start to fill up quickly.  We were both pleasantly surprised by the specials offered. Not your typical pub fare, and our selections were delicious (lasagne and mussels, yum!)!
    Service was very good and staff was friendly enough, but none of them seemed to ever smile, which is the only reason I'm giving them a 4 instead of 5 star.

    Meh.

    Came here once for lunch. Turkey burger: dry. Fries: bland.
    Furthermore, the place is cramped and the service mediocre (a bit slow, and we were in a bit of a rush since we had come from work).

    Let me also add that their "parking lot" is this tiny, downward-sloping, pothole-filled, grungy space that is not lined and therefore just an unorganized cluster of cars. It's a little terrifying.

    I'm not saying this place is horrible, I just think there are a lot of Irishy pubby places around and this one is not exactly applause-worthy. I'd rather go down the street to Tommy Doyle's (which is saying something).

    A chaotic parking lot, seats and benches harder than a pew at Sunday Mass and a not so easy street to park on are a few of the challenges of going to the West Street Tavern. Ok, why the four stars then you ask?

    The food and the service are great. They make a very large cold clear martini which after two helps you forget that chair you are sitting on is like sitting in a pew on Sunday. Service is prompt and friendly with the waitress gently pointing out the "lobster" nachos were in fact "loaded" nachos when I asked about them. That is what happens when you take the 55 year old eyes out to dinner without the reading glasses.

    The lamb, sausage and beef appetizer was a substantial portion of perfectly cooked meats. A veggie wrap with onion rings was delicious. The onion rings are not the cruddy Jack in the Box rings, but hand cut fresh made rings.

    Finally too full for desert I opted for the low cal alternative, a glass of Irish whiskey neat which turned into a second glass. Both were a generous pour again served promptly. Nice spot on a dreary New England evening for dinner, drinks and conversation.

    Great burger! I went there on a Friday with my boyfriend and it was really busy. There was one table for two at the window. There seemed to be a big after work crowd at the bar and then a lot of people came in for dinner. We had got there just in time.

    My boyfriend, a true Irishman, was very happy with the Guinness. Our waitress was terrific. She was super friendly and attentive and worked her way through the standing crowd in order to make sure we didn't have empty glasses. The burgers were super. We shared a chocolate raspberry molten cake which was delicious. I would go back there again.

    Get the potato skins, burgers and onion rings!  (And some beer, if you're into that.. or cocktails... or a glass of wine... or whatever... they've got it all.)  You won't be disappointed.

    After craving some good burgers, we ventured out to West Street. (But first, we browsed Yelp and checked out reviews of the nearby places, of course.)

    Mmm... potato skins.  Crisp outside, soft inside.  Melted cheese.  Bacon bits.  Sour cream.  Fresh parsley garnish; edible salad centerpiece.  In a word - delicious!

    Although the burgers were not quite as elegantly presented as pictured on their website, I didn't care after 1 bite.  They DELIVERED ON GOOD TASTE.  (We asked for medium and got what looked like well-done patties, but) the juiciness of the patties was still intact, with a nice char on the outside, providing a good texture contrast between the meat and the crunchy caramelized outside... mmm, meat heaven.  

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Italian burger (with buffalo (milk) cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted red peppers, chopped, marinated in an olive oil based dressing with garlic and basil.)  I aim to try their Tavern burger next...

    Service was perfect: friendly, not imposing, prompt.

    This is my new fave place for beers and burgers.  With a private lot for parking, I have no excuse not to come back again and again!

    P.S.  We were seated right away (in a booth! i love booths!). There was a large group (about 10 or so) young adults, but our server took care of them, us, the table next to us, and the table behind us with PRO-level skills.  I heart her.  Wish I got a name.

    Lobster Mac & Cheese!

    West Street Tavern and Restaurant has been consistent with the quality of their food and service. I love their lobster mac & cheese, scallops, french fries... as you can tell, I love their cuisine and their selections of draft beers.  Nothing better than a blue moon on tap.

    The food and atmosphere are awesome but their parking lot is an extremely tight fit.  You're probably better off hunting for street parking, unless you are incredibly skilled or have no fear of scratching your car.

    My wife and I had dinner here recently.  We were looking for slightly more than a typical pub menu with a relaxed atmosphere which the new West Street definitely provides.

    My rating of two stars in 80% based on the value for money of the food and probably only 20% based on the service.  

    The real issue was the "Stuffed Shrimp entree" which my wife had.  It came with mashed potatoes which were terrible and 4 or 5 shrimp over a big pile of stuffing, and steamed broccoli.  It was 18.99 and it was worth about 10.99.  An absolute rip off.  No way for them to justify the price.  

    The waitress was not very attentive and given that there were only two other parties in the dining room - it was pretty hard to justify the level of service.

    At the end of the day the food we ate was just not worth a $61.00 bill before tip.

    Ah yes the West St. Grill. I've been there at least a dozen times and haven't had a bad meal or Guinness. The bartender is a super friendly guy and responsive no matter how busy. I would say food wise they are a burger and fry joint with a healthy plate mixed in. Decent selection of beers although I typically stick with Guinness.  The parking here is virtually non-existent so a short walk may be necessary. I've been when there is almost no one there and nights where it's tough to find a place to stand.  I'm a fan of West St. and you should give them a try.

    This is a rating based on the service and food "takeout."  My wife placed the order and the waitress told us 10-15 minutes.  She gets there and is told that our order of mozzarella triangles have been incorrectly made with the wrong cheese.  The manager has it remade and comps us the triangles.  (which was an honorable attempt to rectify the situation).  As a result this caused an additional 20 minute wait.  Second, we had ordered bone-in honey hot buffalo wings.  When we got home we realized they gave us boneless.  Listen, i don't want to nit pick but there is a significant difference between bone-in and boneless and as a big wing fan bone-in is the only way to go.  Both incidents caused a one star rating for service.  Now the food:

    Sweet potatoes:  average
    Boneless Buffalo Wings:  Below average along with being boneless they were also meatless
    Boneless Honey Hot Wings:  Below average sauce was very watery the ones at Buffs are 1 million times better!
    Mozzarella Triangles:  below average. When we opened the Styrofoam container there was one giant pile of breaded mozzarella mess.  I think this was caused bc it was take out.  Maybe if we were dining in it would have been okay.

    Bottom line.  Save yourself and go to Tommy Doyles or Buffs if you want to fulfill your wing craving.

    Full disclosure.  I live right behind this place so I may be a bit biased for the place.  The food is always good but it can get a bit crowded.  You get more bang for your buck at West St than accross the street at Tommy Doyle's, so if money is an issue I recommend West St..
    They usually have special dishes printed on a piece of paper inside the menu.  These are usually traditional Irish foods, but are not limited to them. I suggest trying these, I have yet to be disappointed by them.
    Nice ambiance and a good place to watch a game.

    The West Street Tavern is definitely a regular's kind of place.  During our quick wait for a table at 8:00 on a Saturday, a parade of people walked into the cozy bar area meeting up with friends.  While I typically really like that kind of atmosphere, we had the misfortune of being seated at the one high-top table in the bar area and were soon surrounded by a rather loud (and somewhat drunk) bunch of 40 something locals.  The dining side of the place seemed nice and quite, with slightly more attentive service than we had in our corner - though no complaints on the service, she just seemed to have a hard time making it through the crowds to our table.

    Dinner started with really yummy Italian bread.  With the somewhat long wait for food, caused by 2 large parties ordering right before us, I was hoping to get some more but couldn't get our server's attention. I had the turkey tips which were perfectly marinated and grilled.  Trying to be healthy I asked about the sautéed veggies, which the waitress told me were a little oily but that they'd be happy to make me some steamed broccoli instead.  Big bonus points!  The boy had the steak tips - with an even better marinade than my turkey ones.  He'd ordered mashed potatoes and onion rings as his sides but they were out of mashed for the night and ended up with a baked instead.

    The prices on the online menu are a little lower than what they actually are.  My guess is that they forgot to update the webpage.  As we were leaving, it looked like they were setting up for live music.  (on a side note, the music that was playing was very very loud, add that to the rowdy bunch next to us and it made for very difficult conversation.  I'm guessing it was also a little quieter in the dining area)

    Overall I think it's a great place for a laid back weekend dinner with good value for the money.  I can't wait to try it again - just won't sit near the bar again.

    The West Street Tavern could quite definitely net five stars from me, but I have to put a few more visits under my belt until it does. This is not in any way a minus one penalty to it, though. My experience here the other night was very pleasurable, and the food was delicious - two qualities that make it an eatery I definitely will visit again.

    Even more impressive is the fact that my opinion before having a seat was less than ideal. Upon entry, it looked warm and inviting, but somewhat typical of a modernized Irish Pub. Given that places like that are a dime a dozen in the Boston area, and not all are great, I was apprehensive. Add to that the fact that this certainly, from the clientèle at the bar, came off as a townie type of pub - which isn't a bad thing, except I'm not a local or a regular - so I wasn't quite sure of how comfortable I'd be as the fish out of water.

    After I was seated, however, all discomfort evaporated. While the dining area is bantam, it's still surprisingly roomy and comfortable. But I still needed to be convinced of this up-turn. The food was the point hammered home.

    I got myself the Lake Combo, which was on the specials list and consisted of a half-rack of ribs, lamb tips, Italian sausage, and roasted peppers. Siding it out were French fries and coleslaw. The lamb tips were the star of the meal, the major unfortunate being that they were in smaller quantity than the other components. However, the sausage and ribs were nothing to balk at, both were very well cooked and tasty, especially if coupled with the peppers. The fries were crispy and hot, and the coleslaw was awesome - which was a great surprise  because for some reason Coleslaw is a huge hit or miss when I get it while out.

    The service was attentive without being invasive, and while the prices aren't necessarily cheap for everything on the menu, they're reasonable. Add to this all that from where I was seated I could catch a bit of the Bruins win, and The West Street Tavern & Restaurant gets nothing but praise from me.

    It's likely, if they can follow this up with a repeat performance of same caliber, to expect another star.

    This place was legendary for tips.  Steak tips, turkey tips, mixed grill... when I lived in Watertown ten years ago, my roomie and I used to go to this townie hangout almost once a week.  But times changed, service got fairly indifferent, the food became unremarkable, and I stopped going.  It closed, and I mourned its passing as the end of an era, an era of turkey tips with toasted cherry hot peppers done just right.

    When I went here recently, however, I discovered two things: it now thinks it's an Irish-Italian bar (or more accurately, an Italian-friendly Irish bar), and the food is as good as I remember it could be.
    The pint Dave the barman poured me was as proper a Guinness as I've gotten in a long time, and the turkey burger that I got at the bar may have been the best damn turkey burger I've ever had.  It took every ounce of will I possessed to not order another one.   (If you want to try one yourself, ask for the turkey burger cooked as the Fireman Burger and tell them not to be shy with the jalapenos.)

    The crowd is mostly locals from The Lake, and even though the decor doesn't look like the dark townie watering hole it used to be, not that much has changed.  Thankfully.

    So all in all, I'm thrilled.  The renovations may make it look like yet another 'new old' Irish pub in greater Boston, but it's clean, classy and comfortable.  And if the tips are as good as they used to be, heck, I'd happily eat them in a bank lobby.

    This place was decent.  Very small, we had a hard time sitting our table of 6.  There wasn't too much breathing room.  Otherwise the food was decent and the prices were reasonable.  If I were in the area I may go back, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to go again.  Parking is also kinda hard.  If you can't park in the (rather small) lot, then you've got to try to park on a busy street.

    I went here last nite based on a recommendation from a friend. I never made it to the old one so I have nothing to compare it to. I love all of my local stomping grounds such as Buff's, Conleys, and Donahues, but glad to have found another great place. I had the blackened steak and turkey tip combo plate and it was amazing. Having ordered steak tips recently at places like Paddy's, Grand Canal, RF O'Sullivans, I will say that West Street nailed it. The turkey tips were nice and tender and grilled to perfection. I will be going back here for the tips and the guinness. Place is a bit small so shhh.....lets keep it on the DL. Thanks Jon for the recommendation.

    We went over to our friends' place last night and none of us had eate,n and they live just around the corner from here, so this is why we came here.

    The service is super plesant and even though we ate at the bar, it was really nice.  The food wasn't perfect, but the portions were large and we had a good time.

    I've had lunch, dinner, and drinks here, and I must say that I'm a fan of the West Street.  It has a very warm, inviting atmosphere, and is well-decorated.  It has old-fashioned black and white photographs on the walls, but they're not the shit you'll find on the walls at an Applebee's - they are the owner's wife's old family photos, which I think is really neat.  The bartenders, waitstaff, and owner are all really friendly - it is definitely a small, welcoming restaurant.

    My food has always been really good; my favorite thus far would have to be the Lake Burger, which is topped with American cheese, sliced cherry peppers and onion rings.  No kidding, it just may be the best burger I have ever had.  Their onion rings are ridiculously good.  I can also vouch for the Chicken Caesar wrap and the Chicken Club as being above average.

    West Street Tavern is a solid choice for decently-priced food and drinks.  It may not boast the most gastronomically adventurous menu, but if you want a really good burger, chicken sandwich, or reuben, then the West Street is a great choice.

    I had written a review after they had just opened... it was not the best review... We went for a quick Sunday dinner... with thoughts of the old West Street Grill in our minds... it was missed.

    I weighed in if I wanted to go back and try them again... can I say that I miss the old West Street Grill?

    7/10/09 -- So that was a while ago... we waited a little bit and the kinks have been ironed out... the menu has grown... the food has flavor.

    Yes, it is much, much better than when they 1st opened. We are going back on a regular basis... it is fun and busy.

    We hope we see you there!

    The West Street Grill & Tap is now re-opened, under presumably different ownership, under the new name of West Street Tavern & Restaurant.  If you had been to the old West Street bar, then you will not recognize the new place.  They totally fixed it up.  We sat at the bar near the front window, which used to be where the old kitchen was.  Gone are the Duck Hunter and Golden Tee video games from the old days.

    It looks really nice inside and out.  The bar staff was very friendly.  Prices are reasonable.  If you have been to nearby Tommy Doyle's you will think the same people designed and decorated the places.

    My wife is a huge nachos eater, and unfortunately the nachos didn't get her enthusiastic thumbs up, that is why the new West St gets only 3 stars.  They only served 1 little pre-arranged plastic container of salsa with the nachos, and needed to ask to get more little plastic containers of nachos.  Some advice, when someone asks for nachos, provide a healthy serving of salsa in a small bowl.  And, for whatever reason, there was no guacamole to be had.

    The atmosphere is great, lively and they have several flat screen TVs to watch the Sox.

    I got the chowder, which was excellent, and a turkey sandwich, which  was so-so.  I wasn't expecting much since it is a turkey sandwich.  That's my fault.

    They make a dee-lish espresso martini, which the wifey loved.  

    We are very happy to see Nonantum get a 2nd very good pub to eat and drink and be merry.  Only 5 years ago there was the old West Street pub and The Place.  

    If you can perfect the nachos then the rating will go up for real.  I think this place just had their grand re-opening and I am sure they are working out all the kinks.  That's OK and understandable because we want them to do well.

    The bar area is separated from the seating area, so you can decide which area to eat and enjoy.  There is seating for groups of 6 or less in the dining area.
