I really like this place! Living in Chagrin I somehow did not frequent 87 West. However, I think that's going to change. For one, on Wednesday night they have 1/2 off bottles of wine. And although I can agree with Scott that there is nothing on the wine list that I go crazy over, the Pinot Grigio is fine by me. Especially when it's 1/2 off.
I love walking in because it's so cozy. There are plush chairs and comfortable couches to sit in rather than a disarray of bar stools. The lights are dim and you feel like you're at home in your own living room. Very relaxed atmosphere.
I really wouldn't go there to eat. I have had food there before, it's not bad. But it does take long and I think it's a little overpriced for the portions they give you. My friend noticed that the portions had gone down in size since the last time she ordered something. I guess it wouldn't be bad to split a few appetizers, but you'd definitely need a few.
