    We arrived for an early dinner and were seated quickly on a Saturday evening. Food and service were very good, the small plates lobster risotto and mussels were a bit as was the wings, followed by the clams linguini. Wine selection was nice and reasonably priced. Would recommend for family or even date night.

    Service was hideous. We order the cheese platter as our appetizer...took 30 minutes. God our entrees about 5 minutes later. This place is slipping.

    We made a reservation for Wed night 10/29. We arrived on time and the bar was packed. Apparently there was a bar crawl in town as well as the restaurant had a Tarot reader, etc.. Okay fine but no host in sight to seat us. We waited for several minutes and then went to look for someone to help us in the restaurant area. We told the waiter we had a reservation and he was non-committal about having a table saying he wasn't sure and blah blah blah. I said why would your restaurant take reservations but not honor them. It was very chaotic. Eventually we were seated. The service was very slow. We waited a long time for everything and when we wanted another round of drinks I had to get up and go find a wait staff person again. The food was ok. Overall this was not a good experience. Although the staff was friendly it was unprofessional.

    It is almost too difficult to even begin. When we walked in the hostess told us we can find any seat we wanted since the dining room was completely empty on a Saturday night at 8:00. Then after receiving the menu she told us that the lobster ravioli and skirt steak was unavailable plus a few other things. After ordering drinks we found out that they didn't have mint for mojitos, the Cabernet or the watermelon margarita. We ordered 3 appetizer, sending back the calamari after realizing that something seemed wrong about the place. We were about to order dinner before realizing we should just settle the bill and leave. The manager was extraordinarily rude and told me that the place was empty because it is the end of summer. This is Westfield, not a shore community. We finished our cheese assortment which was pushed onto our table and drinks before deciding to have dinner around the corner at Ferraro's. 16 Prospect looks like they are about to go out of business (seemingly for good reason). This location will be great for a true restauranteur to create another special place in Westfield upon the demise of 16 Prospect. This was a thank you dinner for our parents. But the thank you belongs to Ferraro's for saving the day.

    Unfortunately our experience was pretty disappointing last night. The appetizers were good, our burgers were flavorless and very greasy. The service was poor, with the exception of the young man that was waiting tables and the woman that was serving and clearing tables. The rest of the staff seemed like they couldn’t be bothered. They were all on their cell phones, and the bartender was vaping behind the bar. Our waitress seemed to be bothered to take our orders and never checked in after that. We needed to ask another waiter for our check. As far as the live entertainment , he could have been better prepared. We were here a year or so ago and recall it being a much better meal and experience. As we sat, we were looking for hidden cameras and expecting Gordon Ramsey to come in and shut the place down.
