Nothing is better than hugging a friend you have not seen in a while. That's what walking into the lounge at West Wind Supper Club felt like; hugging an old friend. We were greeted by the sweet Caroline. She was spectacular and her demeanor was exactly what the ambiance called for; she was familiar with her customer base and her personality reflected such. She engaged with all across and maintain her duties with ease. Ashley (Elle Fanning doppelgänger, pretty sure)continued her pace. The evening was a beautifully wrapped Christmas present. Perfect.
I've heard a lot of great things about Westwind, but have never been. As soon as we walked in, the hostess greeted us with a smile and we were seated within 5 minutes on a Friday night. which I was pleased with. It's been a long time since I had a waitress as good as the one we had. She checked in with us frequently, our drinks were never empty and she always greeted us with a smile and even knew how to make us laugh which isn't easy to do. Hands down I recommend this restaurant and if Lexi is working definitely ask for her.
We both had the large Prime Rib and it was excellent. One rare and one medium & each perfect temp. Service was good and the fireplace after cool day at orchards was seasonally enjoyable.
West Wind has a nice atmosphere; loved the crackling fireplace and the comfy booth seating. They had a great Wednesday special, which was a 12" pizza with your choice of toppings and a 16 oz. beer or soda for only $12.00 and of course my husband jumped all over that! He said his pizza was really good. My niece had the chicken philly sandwich with french fries and she enjoyed hers, too. I was in the mood for pasta so I had the mushroom marsala pasta with chicken. I loved how flavorful the chicken was, and the sauce had a nice depth of flavor. They also gave me a nice hunk of bread on the side with a pat of butter but I kind of ignored it because of how yummy my entrée was. I knocked off one star due to service--we were there at 11:30 and there were only a couple other tables besides us and after we received our food the waitress disappeared. It's fine to leave people to enjoy their meals, but come on, at least make a pass or two by the table to ask about drink refills, inquire whether anyone wants dessert, or a to-go box.
West wind is a favorite when I'm back visiting friends. Recently enjoyed the Ahi tuna salad. The tuna was cooked (very lightly) to perfection, a portion that would pass as a solo entree back on the west coast at twice the price. An explosion of flavors were well a great value. Coupled with my favorite, Jamison rocks (VERY generous) made for an extremely satisfying meal. Ask about the specials, I've enjoyed on other trips, pizza or burgers and beer, wino Wednesday etc. and one of my favorites pulled pork nachos. You have not had them like this. Yum. Service was impeccable, professionals who really enjoy their work and it shows. Many options for seating when weather permits, indoor, screened our outdoor patio options are very pleasant.
This place is just right for River Falls WI! The menu is spot on as far as giving you a feel for the look and taste of the items on the menu. My friends and I were in town on business. I had the prime rib it was outstanding. The twice baked potato outstanding. The clam chowder very good. The au jus was perfectly flavored, as was the prime rib. Prime rib is my favorite simple food, that really is not simple at all. I was so happy with it. My friends got the portobello burger which is actually a portobello on a ground chuck burger he loved it he thought it was great. And the other guy got the salmon with the sauce whatever it was who cares I'm tired of writing everything was fantastic. I'm gonna throw on a couple pictures that I've done this was the best meal we've had in River Falls. Oh and the service was outstanding too the waitress in the bar area did a fantastic job.
Oh my! I've always wanted to try West Wind Supper Club in River Falls, but we never had. After seeing everyone's pics we decided to try it (for takepitonight. So dang good! Sadly, I don't have pictures, but we shared a French dip (added peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese just because!), a twice baked potato and the risotto of the day which happened to be cranberry and walnut. Sounded different, but it was seriously among the best risotto I've ever had. We can't wait to go back! Updated: We were tired of our usual breakfast places and decided to try the West Wind. We ordered and shared the Southwest omelet with bacon, jalapeños, peppers, cojita cheese and guac. OMG. Hands down, my new favorite omelet of all time! The real wheat toast with (cranberry?) and orange jam was delicious as well.
