The Western Door Dining Experience

Dining at The Western Door is more of an experience than an event. The dining atmosphere is relaxed, with a classy lounge area and bar located near the entrance. Guests can have a drink or sit in the lounge while waiting to be seated. A large painting of Niagara Falls decorates the back wall of the lounge area. The Western Door does not have a specific dress code, but this is the type of restaurant where casual dress will look out of place.

The Western Door signature breads and dips are served to each table to begin the dining experience. Water glasses are filled upon seating, and drink orders are taken. The Western Door has a large selection of Finger Lakes wines, as well as other wine, beer, and liquor selections.

Appetizers at The Western Door are large, and could easily be shared by two. Appetizers include a pleasing variety of seafood appetizers, soups, and salads. The Western Door has Clams/Oysters ($7/9), Chilled Gulf Shrimp ($13), Western Door Clams Casino ($9), and a variety of other appetizers on the menu. The French Onion Soup($7) is very good, and the Western Door Caesar and Spinach Salads ($8) are presented attractively on large plates.
