Phoned at 2.45pm on Saturday for a reservation for three , no answer ,was told by recording I would get a call back . waited for three hours , no call back at all. I find that quite ignorant .
I do not recommend it to any Body
I went to WPB for a late lunch meeting. My server was fantastic. Respected our space but made sure we had everything we need. I had the burger and it was cooked perfect. The atmosphere is great. And the patio is pretty sweet. Will return with my wife for a romantic evening. Thanks.
The food was just okay but the service was very poor. Server left us too long before acknowledging us. The restaurant is small and overcrowded. The food was okay, nothing special. The pork was overcooked and dry. The owner mentioned to us before we ordered our dessert that other people would love to have our table. We were seated at a table for 4. You could tell she wanted to rush us out to put 4 people at our table. I found that attitude very arrogant. Needless to say, we skipped ordering dessert there and went elsewhere for coffee and dessert. We would definately not eat there again.
My Experience at the West plains bistro was wonderful as it always is, The owners George and Irene are one of the nicest couples and perfect business partners. When you walk into the bistro, the atmosphere and decor really makes you feel cozy, at home and you don’t get the vibe some fancy restaurant’s give off that your going to spend an arm and a leg for a tiny plate of food. The staff that work at the bistro are mostly in the family that owns the place, Irene’s daughters Leah, Kara and Shannon are some of the main faces at the bistro. The other members of staff are all helpful pleasant and I have received exemplary service every time I go to eat at the bistro. The West plains bistro is always clean, tidy and organized, from the bar lounge area to the small intimate dining room.
A history of the restaurant; The West Plains Bistro is a family owned, Dutch background family serving a good variety of European food all through the day from the eggs Benedict and amazing quiche to the chicken pot pie at lunch time and the pan seared apple glazed pork tenderloin and unreal goat cheese tower at dinner time.
From the head chef Corie Rider to his Sous chef Corey Smiley, the talent in the tiny kitchen is unmistakeable. Chef rider has been in the industry for fifteen plus years with catering experience to running the fire hall in Mississauga. I have had a few chances to meet him and he is one of the nicest down to earth guys you will meet and he has no problem taking time to explain his methods to you, the passion he has in his food is unmistakable and it shows every time one of the superb staff takes the plate to the table.
And now onto what I ate, I had the Pan Seared Pork Tenderloin, the tenderloin of pork served with fresh thyme and a spiced apple glaze. On a bed of roasted potatoes and fresh day vegetables. The pork is pan seared then fired into the oven to finish while the other components are constructed. The plate looks amazing, its the 5 potatoes as a bed for the veg and the pork, its all stacked in the centre of the plate with the sauce on top and drizzling around the plate. The spiced apple sauce is tangy, but doesn't take away from the other flavors and the pork was cooked perfectly. And everything just seemed to be amplified by the atmosphere. At night they have candle lit tables with the perfect amount of house lights to make a date perfect, or a business meeting enjoyable.
In closing, the West Plains Bistro is a night out you wont forget, be careful however book ahead because it fills up every night and they have at least 2 seatings on the busy nights! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable night out that you will remember for months to come!
