Okay, so the food was fantastic. But I wish we’d asked to move. The sound really carries in the room and we were sat next to two very loud tables of energetic young women who were celebrating and getting ready for a night out. Next time, will just make sure not to get seated next to a bigger group. We enjoyed the oysters, the maitake mushrooms, the fish and chips and the miso cod. Cocktails were also on point. Great value for the quality of food and the gorgeous space. This would be a regular spot for me if I lived in London.

We just went in the spur of the moment: The ability to accommodate last-minute plans is always a plus. The excellent service elevates any dining experience, making it truly memorable. Combined with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere, it was a perfect outing.

Our experience exceeded expectations! We arrived at 8PM and the restaurant was incredibly busy. We were lucky to get the last table. Despite the chaos, our service was prompt, although worth noting our order was pretty easy. For drinks we enjoyed Caesars followed by a glass of wine each. The Caesars were decent but not amazing, wine was excellent and great value for price. To eat we each had the Wedge Salad and we shared the Smashed Tacos with Fries. Food was great and nice sized portions. They have an extensive menu which surprised me as only the appetizers are shown online. There is definitely something for everyone and at all price points. Ambiance was really unique. West London definitely needed a restaurant like this and we will certainly be back.

We finally tried the patio at West Social on a Saturday afternoon for snacks and drinks. It was sunny, hot and humid but the wind and umbrella really helped. Our very nice, attentive server suggested the Maitake mushroom and the pork belly appetizers. And they were delicious and plentiful. I really like the patio! We've been here twice during the winter and we weren't that impressed with their main entrees, especially for the price. But I really enjoyed the appetizers! I would definitely go again!

I had a fantastic time at West Social! The vibe was lively and welcoming, and the DJ set the perfect mood for the evening. The staff were all incredibly polite and attentive, which made the experience even better. For drinks, the Spicy Margarita was a standout – the right amount of heat and citrus. The Smoked Old Fashioned was equally impressive, with just the right balance of flavors. As for the food, I’ve tried several dishes and they’ve all been amazing. The Kangs Fiery Pork is definitely a favorite, but the burger, bone marrow, and generous portioned charcuterie board for sharing were all absolutely delicious. I’m really looking forward to trying the patio in the summer – it’s definitely a spot to return to!

Stopped in for a quick bite knowing it wouldn't be busy until later, went in for the early afternoon meal and drink and sat on the cool patio. It overlooks the drainage area that will grow into a lovely pond, super cool for the area. Sexy vibe inside with great centre bar and surrounding booths and tables. The outside vibe is comfy and cool with a ton of heat lamps for chilly nights. They opened the entire wall while we were there for a Caribbean feel that was excellent. Food was really good and beer was cold and I will be back to try some other dinners as a burger really doesn't capture a chefs talent, even though it was great.
