An absolute hidden gem for someone that is not from the area. The food is absolutely delicious. I have had fine dining from coast to coast and this is some of the best. The staff was absolutely amazing. The owner, Kevin made us feel so welcomed. This is the only place I will eat when in this area. Thank you to 21 West.

This place was magnificent!! Every detail is carefully curated from the atmosphere to the service to the delicious food. We had the Chilean sea bass, filet, beef Wellington bites, and salads. Every course was so fresh and so full of flavor. I’m begging them to open in LR bc I need this in my life on the reg. No it’s not fast…it’s a place meant for savoring each course and ambience. Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks Taylor for great service!
