So yummy! I've been dying to try this place out for a while now, and I just so happened to be in…read morethe area for it. Note there's only street parking available, but there's lots of shops and stores around nearby to walk around. :) I walked in around noon, was greeted kindly by all the staff and there was already a decently sized line but the line went by super quickly. I like how there's laminated menus right as you walk in you can take over while you wait to order at the counter. I ordered their tuna salad with sweet onion dressing, as well as their mango smoothie. I am STILL thinking about the salad!!! It was so fresh, the dressing was to die for soo flavorful. The smoothie was also super refreshing to wash it all down! I can't wait to stop by once more after my monthly skincare appointments across the street, it'll bet favorite treat to look forward to

I went to Kirari West again and somehow it was even better than last time. We got the cinnamon…read morerolls and the Japanese-style custard bread and I genuinely considered canceling the rest of my day. Absolutely, unapologetically, mother-effing DIVINE. If I lived closer, this place would be a problem. A delicious, carb-scented problem. I already drive 30-40 minutes just to get my hands on these breads, and I would do it again without hesitation. Yes. Yes. And yes all day long. I need more of the Japanese custard bread bread. I am currently drooling. Please send help. Or bread. Mostly bread... with custard. The lovely taste of the bread that's not too sweet filled with custard that is also the perfect amount of sweet. The cinnamon rolls... if you are gluten-free, I would definitely run to this place. The customer service is so kind whenever I ask about any other allergies they make sure to know. The seating is a fun filled modern vibe. we made a few friends haha. I love that you can buy bread there and the bread is also delicious. See you at kirari West! Ps. Save me some pastries for me! Cheers mates!

My friend and I were craving something light after a workout class in the area and it was the perfect menu for a hot day. Items are a little more expensive but they're farm fresh ingredients that fill you up. I would recommend trying miso sesame shitake cold noodles and add an extra egg. My friend and I were sharing and they were kind to split it up for us in our own bowls. The noodles were chewy and the ponzu sauce added a lightness to the savory sesame. Veggies were fresh and added the crunch needed to the dish. They had tasty kombuchas in their fridge too - nice to pair with the noodles! Surprisingly they own the seating on the patio as well so you can grab a nice view while you wait for your order. They bring it out to you but you need to buss it back downstairs afterwards. Worth a visit for sure and need to come back to try their smoked fish toast.

There was no bad bite, everything was so delicious. The standouts were the stuffed French toast and the breakfast quesadilla. I'm already excited to go back!

O...M...G, I think i'm in love with G-Love. It's been 4 years and this may have even been better…read morethan the 5 stars I gave it 4 years ago. The folks who work at and operate this establishment, and the Love Shack next door, are simply masterminds. I feel like I'm entering a love fest, greeted by the friendliest of people and served with excellence by several staff members. A big shout out to Tyler who made us feel like family and served us from start to finish with efficiency, kindness, and exceptional care. From the moment you enter G-Love, you feel like you chose the right spot to celebrate life, a moment, or to spend time with family and friends. The drink menu: why is everything so enticing? I can hold my liquor, but not well enough to try all the things that tempted me. Luckily we love sharing and getting tastes of one another's libations. Here goes: We started with The Cecilia, The Princess Peach, and a Matchstick Martini, as well as a Diet Coke for the responsible one at the table. Even the taste of the Diet Coke is elevated, or was that just me? Maybe it was the eco-friendly straw... For food, please don't judge. I live in LA and when I come here, I feel like I may not get another opportunity to come back so I need to try it all. Is that gluttony or wonderful gastronomique decision making? 1. The Crusty Avocado - crusted with coco-blackspice seeds, drizzled with Yuzu and lemon, filled with delightful Ahi Tuna, and a bit of caviar. 2. Fingerling Potatoes - Don't pass these little gems up, as well as the delightful sauces they are served with. A must. 3. Focaccia di Formaggio - couldn't just order one for the table, we needed 2, and it still felt like we could have devoured more. Just kidding, carry on. 4. Broccoli Caeser - traditional with some parmesan and breadcrumbs, but the miso caesar dressing and lemon make it unique and delicious. 5. Garden Peas - I LOVE THIS, did I have to share... YES. served with a citrus yogurt, a macadamia nut pesto, and schmaltz. Get the PEAS says me never, but I do now. 6. Crunchmaster Crisp - maybe my favorite, still up for debate. Charred cabbage, crispy shallots and garlic (already a fan), hazelnuts, apples and Kel's onions. Do not miss this. 7. Hamachi Crudo - This is one of my absolutes, hands down, delicious dishes that shouldn't be overlooked. Divine pieces of sliced hamachi crudo, with a coconut cream and some other delicious things that I can't remember. I blame it on Cecilia. 8. Carrots and Citrus - Not only was this beautiful, it was another one of the dishes that I wished didn't end. Brown butter, pistachio, chili crunch, Tom Kha Vinaigrette. Garrett, where are you so that I can hug you for this dish? 9. Asparagus a la Plancha - fiddleheads, miso-lemon hollandaise, egg yolk, and crispy potato. And you thought this was ironed asparagus. Guess again. Delicious. 10. McFarland Springs Trout - perfectly cooked trout, with smoked buttermilk, cilantro puree, garnished with arugula radish salad. 11. Spring Tagliatelle - served with a broccoli dill pesto, garlic confit, pancetta, and fried anchovy breadcrumbs. You had me at anchovy. 12. Fried Chicken - finger lickin good, truly. No need for the Colonel to get worried, as this fried chicken is in another category. Superb. 13. Pork belly skewers & Scallop Skewers - tasty small bites of perfection. Don't pass these up. How many of us are dining you ask? Five. Shhhhhhh,. Dessert? Really, YES. Since there were 5 of us, we got all three. Of course we did. 1. Milk Chocolate: butterscotch, baby popcorn and honeycomb. 2. Whip-a-licious: Passion fruit curd, lime meringue, coconut crack. 3. Golden Cloud: Golden milk sorbet, cardamom, masala, honey caviar, and chamomile. My family says: 5***** to all, I simply couldn't. Thank you G-Love and staff for making my last night in Portland with our family so memorable. From the welcoming to the departure, this is etched in my heart and mind as an all time favorite experience. Tyler, you are amazing. Thank you for your service and kindness. Garrett, you have a great thing going on. Congratulations for choosing wonderful staff to serve your exceptional food and drinks. In a world where you can go anywhere, folks should go here (and The Love Shack). I can't express my appreciation enough for this amazing and memorable experience.

The interior is attractive and very modern, and there is a large covered and heated patio if you prefer to sit outside (we did). The service was a little bit slow, but not egregious and the server was very friendly. The menu is not extensive, but it has good variety and everything on it looked excellent. All of their ingredients seem high-quality, and they have a number of gluten-free and vegetarian offerings. I ended up getting the eggs benedict, which came with a little salad. The salad was fresh, not wilted, and came with a light vinaigrette. The eggs benedict was absolutely stellar-- perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and grilled halloumi to give some well-received brine to the bite, all atop an english muffin. For the price point and the quality, the portions are good. My one wish was that I could have subbed my salad for some of their potatoes! My partner got the pork belly hash, and thought that the potatoes were cooked perfectly-- crispy and well-seasoned. He did notice that there were only a few pieces of pork in the dish, but we chalked this up to the ingredient quality. We ended up staying for Happy Hour, which was fun! We got the fries with garlic aioli (so good!) and I ordered their daily cocktail special, a margarita. They gave me a good, heavy, pour, which is always appreciated. Great brunch spot if you want to go somewhere a little chic.

Woah, it's been a while since I've been out for brunch because brunch foods are kind of bland to me…read more- but Bar West really nailed it with their food and cocktails. We got the Benedicts - one with ham and one with halloumi. Both were great and I just loved the colorful greens salad on the side. The tart dressing paired so well with the rich bechamel sauce and yolky eggs. For drinks, we got one of the espresso martini month specials - the tiramisutini. It was a more unique take on the espresso martini and I loved the slightly tangy mascarpone cream on top. It's definitely in my top 3 of the month. We also tried their delicious west coffee cocktail, served hot with some delicious oat whipped cream. Service was great and friendly. It was pretty busy the entire time we were here on a Sunday. We had reservations which may or may not have been needed but it seemed like a good idea. The bar is very cute. Overall I would definitely come back for another brunch or in the evening for drinks and dinner/snack!
