My husband and I were treated absolutely terribly at this place, just a few minutes ago. We are seeing a concert at The Observatory and went to West Coast to eat and have some drinks before the concert. Got a table and my husband went up to the bar to order. He asked the bartender if he orders drinks and food here and the bartender says I'll be with you. Bartender finishes talking to other patrons, then goes and does something else for a full 2 minutes, still not acknowledging my husband. A women comes up to the bar at this point, and the bartender turns to her and says I think you were here first. Seriously? A bartender who can't keep up with who to serve first? My husband says "excuse me, I was here first", to which the woman agreed. My husband orders the House Special Paloma and nachos. The bartender tells him they're out of the House Special Paloma and we can't order food there, we'd have to go to the other side but there were no available tables there. The bartender says he can have a regular Paloma so we order that and have no food. Concert is about to start so we get in line and I notice the waitress is carrying food to the side of West Coast that we just left. My husband asks her if they serve food on that side and if they're out of the House Special Paloma. The waitress says they serve food on both sides and they are not out of the House Special Paloma! Wow, West Coast, is it because we're a mixed race couple?? What is the pathetic excuse for the discrimination of patrons who were looking to spend money at your establishment? Do better! My husband even went to the other bar to confirm that food can be ordered on both sides and that they indeed have the House Special. He asked for a manager and was told they didn't know where the manager was at that moment. Really terrible experience due to a bartender that obviously had an issue.

The waffle fries were excellent, the ketchup mixed with chipotle was delicious. The Strawberry Margarita was very tasty; they only do Margaritas on the rocks. Prices are on the high side; but, so are all the restaurants in that area. The ambiance is LOUD!! Not a place to have a conversation; but it's a great place for happy hour. Lively, Vibrant and good service. A bit slow, but, what the heck, you're on Happy Hour Time!
View on Google ↗I've been here many times but this was my first brunch outing. The food was good and presented well but really what stood out from it all was the ginormous cinnamon rolls to end all brunches! It's slathered in bacon real bacon pieces and topped off with a heaping ice cream spoon full of their artisan butter. Also they have unlimited mimosas
View on Google ↗With a driving beat playing through the speakers throughout your dining experience, this cute brunch spot has televisions for all your sports, a simple but delicious menu, and bottomless mimosas. The chicken and waffles are delicious. The maple syrup is not overly sweet. Perfection.
View on Google ↗Criminally expensive for a run of the mill tavern. Security inspection at 5pm because they have some random pod caster "playing here" tonight. LOL. $12+ a drink and food. Can't even have silverware? Bland food. This place sucks in every aspect
