The owners of Oklahoma City’s legendary Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler restaurants operate this upscale-casual eatery that serves classic dishes with gourmet twists. An eclectic menu includes dishes such as Zuccha Chips, thin slices of zucchini flash-fried and sprinkled with sea salt; Cherry Caprese salad with burrata cheese, roma tomatoes and fresh basil served with cherry balsamic dressing; and Bow Tie Pasta with Smoked Salmon topped with vodka cream sauce. West is just as adept at serving up cooked-to-perfection steaks as it is burgers and bar food. Rib eyes served with blue cheese fondue, truffled rosemary potatoes and balsamic Brussels sprouts; an eight-ounce filet “your way” (choose one of four delicious preparations); or Seven Ounces of Johnnie’s ground sirloin served on a gourmet bun – it’s all good. 6714 N. Western Ave. www.westbar.com
