    Unique entrees with top notch quality! A wonderful friendly hostess to greet diners and good service! We had crispy calamari with fried artichokes and Greek olives. Perfectly cooked octopus with potatoes. For entrees we chose the shrimp and grits with delightful mascarpone polenta, spinach and chorizo. My friend had the Al dente pasta with perfectly cooked short ribs. And for the dessert we had star of the show Mounds dessert with hot chocolate poured over to form a ganache shell and the special of the day dessert which was a muffin style apple crumb cake with apple compote. Soooo yummy! What a perfect meal Kudos to the chef on his “First” restaurant! Well done!

    Went to the Park West Tavern for the first time for a late lunch, I was met very cordially and was seated immediately. The wait staff was knowledgeable and very professional. The food was outstanding as the appetizers were delicious as so different. The apps were the Pork Belly Confit and Gnocchi. The two of us ordered the Wagyu Burger which was the most delicious burger that I have ever had. All in all, the overall experience was amazing and I would highly recommend the Park West Tavern.
