West Restaurant, rated the one of the best overall restaurant in Vancouver with additional to the promising dine out experienced shared by friends I've finally decided to give it a try!
Disappointment!! Perhaps I had too much hope for it that was expecting something very extraordinary. Overall the dine out menu is just average for the price of $28 ($38 is a overcharge for the quality)
Fraser Valley Trout Salad - Probably not the type of salad choice I would pick in the first place, but aside from that there weren't more outstanding dishes for appetizer.
Score: 6/10
Salish Sea Keta Salmon caramelized savoy cabbage with bacon, smoke salmon croquette served with parsley vinaigrette -The Salmon was average level that if you buy a fresh one from the market you could probably make one yourself. Salmon croquette wasn't crispy enough for my liking, as I really believe fried object shouldn't be put together with other food that could potentially make it soggy.
Score: 6/10
Chocolate ganache with raspberry compote and ice cream - As a chocolate lover myself it is really hard not to love the dish, however I was not amazed.
Score: 6.5/10
Overall I believe it is a matter of the inconsistency, or West is just simply not worth the hype.
However I did book a fairly late time for the dine out (cause it was a sold out) so that their head chef might not be there for it. But I still think there is no excuse for the inconsistency
Score: 6/10
