“ Very nice environment. My herb roasted chicken nachos came out burnt the first time but they quickly brought out a fresh order. Overall the food was great. I came for my usual order of buffalo shrimp salad and left with way more items. ”
“ We had a great experience at Five West in Rochester MN. I ordered the steak tacos with chips and salsa, and everything was flavorful and well prepared. My husband had the bacon and blue cheese burger with sweet potato fries, and he really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and delicious all around. They also have a nice outdoor seating area next to beautiful fountains, which added to the atmosphere, though we chose to sit inside. Overall, it was a great spot for a casual yet quality meal. ”
“ Nice patio! We enjoyed the wild rice soup, blackened chicken Alfredo and steak fettuccine. Butterscotch Crème Brûlée was yummy too! ”
“ I guess this establishment is part of a chain of restaurants, but it appears to be the only one with this name based on the website. I may be wrong, however it had no effect on my rating (I usually don’t rate chain restaurants). I only learned of this upon further review of the website after dining. Sorry, now to the review. We were seated immediately on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and the place was less than a 1/4 full. We chose to be seated in a booth inside instead of the patio even though it was a beautiful day. Our server was extremely pleasant, friendly and attentive, good service all the way around. Took a recommendation from our server for a local craft beer and tried the “Little thistle” which was a very tasty IPA, a very good recommendation. Started off with the artichoke and spinach dip that was delicious, especially with what appeared to be freshly baked flatbread, a very comforting dish. My dining partner had the maple bourbon burger, it was absolutely delicious (horrible pic, I know). The smoked Gouda cheese was served in a cup, melted. That was a great idea as it was used on the burger with a bit saved to dip the fries in. The fried walleye, first time trying walleye, was absolutely delicious. I would get this over and over again, it was that good. The fries were like everywhere else, however, there was an $3 up charge for the tater tots, a not so wise choice on our part, should have had the fries. Overall we were absolutely delighted with our lunch as the food, service and atmosphere were excellent, a great place to dine. If I were in the area, I definitely would make an effort to return. ”
“ Exceptional Service from Manager Shawna at Five West I wanted to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to Shawna, one of the managers at Five West. She is truly amazing! Shawna is the epitome of professional, kind, and genuinely nice. It's clear she leads by example, as she always steps in to help her staff, ensuring the best experience for everyone. What sets her apart is her dedication to making every visit special. I have a favorite off-menu drink—the Crush—which is only listed in their extensive book of cocktails. Every single time I visit, whether I'm with my family or my girlfriends, Shawna kindly intervenes to personally help her staff prepare that special drink for us. Thank you, Shawna, for always doing your job with a bright smile on your face and for consistently making all of us happy. Your exceptional service is the reason we keep coming back to Five West! ”
