Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I have to admit, I didn't know what to expect when I came with my sisters. But I really liked the first impression. Our seating area was nice. However, the chairs/sofas were a bit low, so that meant seating close to the table to eat. The cocktails were good. It's not too heavy. The Zombie and SlayMama was good. Recommend it. The platter starter was a winner, too. Now let's get to the main meal, we ordered the croacker fish and jollof rice. The fish was nice and spicy but had too much colored Seasoning. But tasted good. The Ewa Goyin tasted good but had stones in it, which chipped on my sister's tooth. That changed the mood of the night. That was taken off our bill. Note to kitchen staff. Pls pick the beans thoroughly. Not all customers will be like us. The music was OK, but left shortly. It's a bit of a drive for something different. It's 4 for me. Manager and FoH, thanks for the hospitality and chats. You made us comfortable despite the food situation."
"It was my first time here. It was amazing, to say the least. I'd heard of this place for some time but just never had the time, or it was down to distance. Anyway, I eventually disregarded the distance and visited. It was worth it. I really like the interior decor. Upon entry, we started to ask the lady who met with us about parking, and she said in an almost rude and sarcastic tone and head movement, "we don't own the street." I didn't think you owned the street. Well, I just thought you'd be nice enough to recommend where to park safely without incurring a parking ticket. The way I responded to her nicely made her calm down, and she became a nice, chatty, and friendly version till we left. I'm not sure what was going on with her before we came in, though, but we can not all be mad at the same time, so I decided to be calm...this time. Lol The cocktail was lovely, and the food was exquisite. It really made me forget the long drive down there. Lol. I love the afrobeats playing in the background. I feel like there's something for everyone on the menu. I was quite disappointed that even though we arrived less than an hour after they opened, they didn't have curry goat. That the previous day's customers finished it all was a lame excuse, to be honest. The only other downside was that my baby back lamb tasted like pork, and I really felt like throwing up. Even the fat on it looked too excessive to be from lamb, but I was assured it wasn't pork. Other than that, it was cooked to perfection. I'm looking forward to my next visit."
"Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, great diffrent genre of music. Not to mention the food. I love your 84 Live drink the one with the mix of Habanero."
"I must say I had some of the best service at 84 West. The team was very efficient, the manager made sure the service was great and the food was amazing. Been here a few times. They have events every weekend but sadly they are closed on Mondays. Definitely a place to go with friends, family and a spot for couples."
"I visited 84 west yesterday and I must say the customer service was top notch. The staff was absolutely a delight. I hinted it was my anniversary when reserving my table. When will arrived, we ordered our meal and after having our food, they surprised us with a cake and wished us happy anniversary. It was so beautiful and they made my night!!,everything was perfect thank you so much 84 westwill definitely visit again soon."
"Every time I go to this place I have a good experience but I think the DJ makes it even better with the amazing musics he plays all night. The food is amazing specially the starter sharing platter but I think the staff could smile a little bit more! Come on! you should be grateful that your business gets busy because of your costumers so a little smile wouldn’t hurt. But overall everything it is an amazing place to spend with your family and friends."
"Service was lovely no lies. When making reservations I casually mentioned it was my wife’s birthday, I had totally forgotten I mentioned it earlier and they brought out a small cake and sang happy birthday for her after our dinner. I was really impressed can’t wait for you to open again"
"Good food, lovely ambience, courteous staff, meals worth the price and soft music while you eat without getting a headache!! Impressed by the effort of the management to create a distinctive class!!"
