"Staff: 10/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 10/5 We were probably the first ones to visit upon opening this season. We were greeted warmly and emphatically by two front staff members, who clearly have a passion for the food that they serve. They mentioned that they rotate menus every season, so we were the first to try this menu! They 're currently doing takeout only but may change as the season progresses. We ordered the following: pear mac and cheese app: delicious! However we did find it slightly lacking when you got a bite without pear lamb shank entree: cooked very well fall off the bome tender. Flavor didn 't knock our socks off, unfortunately. Paired very well with the pickled red onion and grits that it was served on salmon entree (pictured): our favorite! The skin was perfectly crispy and the flesh was delectably soft. The chef made a heavenly combination by serving it with oyster mushrooms and a bacon romesco sauce. Absolutely delicious! black beans with cilantro scallion crema side: i did not particularly enjoy this above other black beans, but my boyfriend really did. caramelized onion grits: neither of us liked it very much, sadly, but the staff was so excited about it I feel bad writing this. Fun side story: i was waiting for my bf by the door when i heard the staff raving about how amazing the grits were amongst themselves. On the way back to the car, i told my boyfriend, who of course had to go back in and get it. As he ordered the grits, a staff member lit up and, while loading up a to go container, excitedly told him to smell it, doesn 't it smell so good?! Total time to receive order: ~25 min (she estimated half hour when we paid) I had to run back in after the meal to snap pictures of the menu for this review (which i only decided to do after eating, since i had such a great experience). When i did, not only the front counter employee asked but the chef also wanted to know what i thought of the meal. He had an insanely genuine and eager curiosity details like this compound to the fact that everyone here really cares about what they do and they do it with pride. I will definitely return, if not for the staff alone!"

"Been coming here for years, but my last two visits (especially this most recent one) have been disappointing. They have a nice view, but there’s no way to reserve a view table as a solo dinner (even a small table) to get that view. But my main complaint this time, was the food. The Chicken Dumplings were tasty, but like my main course, had this unnecessary pickled vegetable that really tossed the dish out of balance. It was also served in this weird s-shaped dish with the sauce underneath the dumplings. Made it difficult to grip the dumplings and even more difficult to get any of the sauce. A dipping bowl would have been better. Fancy but totally impractical. But the real disappointment was the Halibut. It was unevenly cooked, going from well done to slight undercooked. Really poor, especially at this price. Then there were those pickled veggies again, but the real low point was a massive amount of overwhelming pesto. It absolutely smothered the fish and the ginger Thai sauce. (Which had it’s own issues, being overly salty and with a strong vinegar taste) It’s all you could taste. A beautiful piece of fish absolutely ruined. Two stars for the meal, plus one star because I have fond memories of this place. All in all, a really poor meal."

"Always great experiences here! This has easily become our favorite dining spot in town. Not only for the location and amazing food, but also the quality seasonal ingredients that leave me feeling full, happy and most importantly healthy. Great staff, views, drinks, wine list, outdoor ambiance, and chef. Couldn't ask for a better or more reasonably priced restaurant for everyone lucky enough to enjoy."

"I've visited the West Coast Market several times before, typically for their sandwiches. Today, my wife and I stopped by and ordered the turkey club, which was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly, and as we were leaving, we decided to grab a cookie to go with our sandwiches. One thing I really appreciate about this place is the clean restroom. Overall, it's a wonderful spot to take a break, conveniently located right off Highway 89, and parking is super easy."

"I had the Greek salad and salmon and it was divine! The service was wonderful and the environment was calm and inviting. On the opposite side of the street from the lake so no great lake view but the lake breeze is amazing."
