    Surprisingly good kosher restaurant. First, our waiter was ver nice and VERY knowledgeable about the drinks and dishes. We had the Tuneasean brioche, leeks, carpaccio and the sirloin. Everything was delicious. I can't say anything was exceptional in its flavors, besides the sirloin which was perfect. We had it medium-rare and it simply melted in our mouths. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse with olive oil foam. A delicious light dessert.

    Incredible experience. Food is fantastic, the service is highly professional and the atmosphere is magical. Our servers Gil, Priel, and Sol made such an effort to ensure our experience was the best. Without a doubt the best service I have ever received in Israel Highly recommended

    We were greeted by waitress name Re'em she was extremely knowledgeable about red or white wine as well as every dish that kitchen offers (VERY PROFESSIONAL) the food was beyond imagination it was amazing and very pleasing to watch all the chefs preparing all the special food and being greeted in happy atmosphere The chef Omri Cohen definitely deserve 10 thoms UP and 10 stars as well...YOU MUST COME IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ENJOY A GREAT MEAL...

    Great service. Steak was done just right. Some nice seasonal dishes. Tables are nicely spaced so you can enjoy an intimate dinner out without all the noise. My only suggestion is that the cheers from the kitchen should be kept to a minimum given the open design. If you are looking for a above average culinary night out I would highly recommend.

    In a word, phenomenal. Some of the best food I’ve had in Israel, which is saying quite a bit because food in Israel is generally fantastic. The “frena” dish in particular is a must-have, and if you’re a carnivore the Entrecôte is truly second to none. Add fantastic drinks to the mix and excellent service and you have a true five star experience. Went for dinner twice, and both experiences were stellar.

    The food is below average in terms of taste and quality, even for a kosher hotel restaurant on the beach, but it's good for photos if that's your thing. More annoyingly, the prices are ridiculously high. 120₪ for chicken breast? Seriously? 60+ for a small fairly ordinary lettuce salad??? C'mon.. Great sunset though!

    We had a fantastic evening event at this restaurant - 16 people. Overall, a very good choice. They serve a menu to the middle of the table. We selected the premium menu - the food was indeed very good, creative dishes, sophisticated yet simple, and high quality. The selection they offered was well balanced and the amount of food was just right. They placed us in another section of the restaurant which gave us privacy. Great ambiance, modern decor and high end furniture. I give them 4 stars for service because the event started a bit off with an inattentive waitress and a rude bartender but once I raised the issue with the manager the service instantly was brought up to a level you'd expect at this level of restaurant. The manager personally got involved in the service. Given the experience, this place is now first on my list for our next event in Israel.

    Great service and amazing food, although it did take long for the dishes to be served. But definitely worth it. It is obviously pricey, FYI.

  • 5/5 Anonymous R. 2 years ago on Google
    An outstanding dining experience. Everything was excellent: every dish we ordered in every course was delicious. The service was attentive including being accomodating to special requests such as gluten free. The presentation of the food gorgeous in a lovely atmosphere/beautiful setting. A special evening out. No "chef's restaurant" gimmicks or pretentiousness. Pricey but worth every shekel. Highly, highly recommended.

    Israeli food snobs are automatically discounting a hotel-restaurant. As if Chef Cohen isn't a magician. This restaurant is so good, I'd eat here everyday. I'm one of those people who defends kosher cuisine wherever I go. And that's about everywhere. Let no one ever say anything bad about kosher restaurants ever again after eating here. I am challenging you. Yes you...

    This is an expensive upscale Kosher restaurant right on the beach. I haven't been to many other high-end Kosher restaurants so it's hard to compare, but all in all this was well below my expectations, and definitely not as good as many other non-Kosher options for the same price. Some anecdotes from our meal: 1. One of the group members wanted to order the Sirloin, asked for it to be Medium. The waiter replied they only do it Medium-Rare which was odd to me. However, the truly ridiculous part is that eventually, the steak came out Medium to Medium-well. If you're going to be snobbish about how you make your steaks, at least get it right! Also, the steak lacked seasoning, and there was no salt/pepper in the table. 2. In the beginning, the waiter split the menu into 3 categories: starters, mid-courses, and large mains. Me & another person ordered some starters to share, and then both ordered one of the larger dishes from the mid section as the "main" courses for ourselves (one for each). However, literally all of the mid-dishes, that were really a lot closer to mains than starters, came at the same time as the starters (actually a minute before). This really messed up the experience for us, since literally all of the food that we ordered came out at the same time. The waiter never told us explicitly when the mid-dishes are arriving, but with some common sense you could see that this was a ridiculous situation, and definitely not something you expect in a restaurant like this. 3. One of the dishes' descriptions failed to mention Tahini as an ingredient, even though: it had a detailed list of ingredients, it was a significant part of the dish, and even though Sesame is a known allergen 4. We were 7 people, which usually is ordered as 2-3 adjacent tables, or a larger round table. In our case they chose to organize it as a 2-by-2 square, which means people in opposite ends were super far apart from each other, making the interactions really uncomfortable, All in all I didn't know whether to give this 2 or 3 stars, since the design of the place and the location are great, and some of the dishes were tasty, but I definitely don't see myself coming back here.

    Meat dishes were superior, fillet and sweetbreads. Fish dishes very mediocre & fish portions small even for upscale restaurant. The amberjack very bland and no taste. Desserts 4 out of 5. Wait staff VERY nice but not level of professionalism for an upscale restaurant, e.g, eeded to request water multiple times etc Atmosphere nice.. Bottom line: the 2 meat eaters will go back , the 4 fish eaters not. Date of dinner Sunday June 25, 2023 Jay Pomrenze

    If you're celebrating a special occasion and are ready to pay for a sumptuous, delicious meal, definitely consider West Side. Despite being kosher, even the desserts were amazing.

  • 5/5 Viva S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best kosher restaurants in Israel. Went to celebrate birthday... even if didn't receive anything extra as in most restaurants.. .but the food was superb. The waiter Sol was extremely knowledgeable and patient. We ordered the soup with a pasty( it comes in two small coffee cups ) , fresh tuna , slices of rare meat בשר ראש in excellent wine sauce and sinta meat which came with a melt in your mouth cabbage , dessert and a glass of wine. There was ample to share for the two of us. Chapeau !!

    The dinner was exceptional. We were a group of 10, so we were given a private corner, which immediately gave us a special feeling. Everything we requested, gluten free, 2 portions of glatt, the management obliged, kindly, with good will. I think it's the best dining experience we have had, and worth every shekel.

    A fancy restaurant near the beach. The food is good, but not as good as you would expect in such a high-class establishment. In terms of location it's convenient for tourists and by day the terrace offers a view of the beach. I found the service to be amateurish for such a level of restaurant with the server feeling the need to over-explain everything.

    Amazing! The chef is a genius, and the staff are excellent. Will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Anonymous R. 1 year ago on Google
    My new favorite restaurant in israel. Menu can be confusing so be sure to ask questions

  • 5/5 Itai N. 1 year ago on Google
    Fancy and taste restaurant! We had a blast, we had 4 different first dishes and 3 main and 2 desserts for 4 people. Every thing we ordered was fresh and fabulous and well presented. We had fish, salad and meat all of the above were excellent. Dishes are change every day/season to use fresh local fruits and vegetables. We will come back for sure.

    We booked a private dinner at West Side for a family gathering of 30 people a few days before our wedding. The day before the event, our contact person was called into military reserves - and without missing a beat, the wonderful staff at West Side made sure our event went off without a hitch. The restaurant was beautiful, the food was INCREDIBLE (people are still talking about it!), but most of all, the service was world class. Each and every person from the West Side team was extremely attentive, considerate, kind, and a professional of the highest order. We truly enjoyed our experience, and will absolutely be back for future events (or just for dinner!). Highly recommend!

    We (a couple) came to celebrate a late birthday. Took multiple dishes - prices are standard for fine-dining. The only dish that I didn’t like was the sea-bass, which was “too lemony” in my opinion. After the waitress saw that I almost haven’t touched it, she reimbursed us for it. Additionally, we got a free dessert due to our birthday celebration. Overall, food is very good, and even more importantly, the costumer service here is superb, which I believe is the most important thing for a restaurant. We will return!

    Wow, what a wonderful place! Our friends recommended West Side for a romantic dinner, and we were not disappointed. We shared a couple of cocktails, sweetbread and salmon fillet, and finished with the "Choco West". All were delicious.

    Chef Omri Cohen is an artist! I can surely say that it's the best Kosher restaurant in Israel
