Editorial Review for West 5 – by Paul Fontana
The Scene
Many 20- and 30-somethings have been lured to West Seattle because it is still so sleepy and unassuming, but don't doubt that the arrival of the sleek, modern West 5 wasn't cause for celebration. The space is large, clean, and handsomely decorated; it wouldn't look out of place in Belltown or Capitol Hill, though there are several touches that pronounce its neighborhood pride.
The Draw
Comfort is the driving force behind the menu, too. New spins on old standbys like mac-and-cheese, meat loaf, and sloppy joes predominate, though there are some lighter options available. The drinks are the best reason to go, however, as the bartenders have a plentiful stock to work from and pour generously. House drinks--particularly the Back Porch Julep made from Maker's Mark, tea, and crushed mint--are impressive.

We initially dropped by Matador, not a bad place but it just wasn't our scene, we wanted somewhere cool and comfy to catch up with old friends. Walked across the street and were very pleasantly surprised with West 5. Really nice waitstaff, great mac and cheese, stiff drink. West Seattle is a bit out of the way, but will be making the trip back.
