West Plains Bistro - Burlington

I have been there before and was looking forward to a great meal. I'm not sure if there is a new chef, but the food was underwhelming and overpriced. I had the haddock special $42. Coconut rice and white fish with mango salsa (very similar...to the one sold at Costco) not visually pleasing at all and quite bland, except for the odd slice of red chilli which overpowered everything. Nothing tasted fresh, no wow factor. My husband had the lobster pasta special. He was told that it wasn't spaghetti as stated, but spiral pasta. It was spaghetti, so not sure what happened there. He said it was okay, nothing special. We had crab cakes to start with, they were good. The food tasted as if it had been microwaved at some point. It is very hard to tell, I accept that, but there is a different heat from a microwave and the food seemed to have it. Our waitress was lovely, very pleasant and attentice. Have the fish chips, they looked great and were $18. Be careful what you order.

We ordered take out fish and chips and it was excellent! Fish was fresh and crispy and the fries were tasty. It also came with a serving of coleslaw.

Our first time here and it wasn't disappointed. eating was great and service even better. I would recommend it very much.

Visited for the first time and was completely surprised by the selection, service and atmosphere. not a big place, so it's a little quieter than others we all supported. the staff was very friendly and helpful and the menu was good, although outside. great eating of...appearants to dessert. will return.

We were in the city, had no reservation and held in western plains bistro for dinner. we sat on the terrace because the inner was full. we were glad we did. the appetizers were delicious as the escapes. the service of the...Wait staff was great. we would definitely recommend this if they love to eat fine. it's a little pricier, but it's worth it. Five stars!
