So I order from 107 West when I can't get food on my way home or don't feel like cooking, maybe 2-3 times a month. The food is the best out of the 187th Street neighborhood, but that is not saying much. I think a great restaurant with downtown quality and prices will make a huge killing in this neighborhood. I pay around $20-25 for an appetizer/daily special pasta. That's pretty expensive. It's passable food, I love their roasted butternut soup but that's a daily special and comes on their menu maybe once every 2 weeks (when I do order from them). Their pies are also good.

I used to like this place and often brought out of town guests thinking that the food was reliably good and the portions decent. The food is now just average and not very exciting although the black bean burger is delicious. The biggest problem: the slow, indifferent waitstaff. A recent Sunday afternnoon found us without menus for close to 5 minutes. It was then carelessly shoved at my husband. A request for water was ignored, so we got up and left. Waitress's remark: "Sorry I'm by myself". We haven't been back and won't be. The neighborhood restaurants have a lot to learn.

This place is very average and service is slow. Food is just okay. This resturant is not kid friendly. I would not recommend bringing children here. Very unsatisfying.

I’ve been dining at 107 West for about a year and in the business world of Washington Heights restaurants I must say that’s a compliment to the establishment. I usually call in for delivery but at times I take out and must say that the atmosphere inside is charming and very laid back. Here are my dining experiences with this place: SOUPS- excellent. SALADS- very good. BURGERS- The opposite of what they advertise them to be (“juicy”) DRY! If I want a burger from a restaurant I expect it to be done in the right way. FRENCH FRIES- soggy, tasteless… JAMBALAYA- if you have had the real deal jambalaya- don’t order! You’ll be disappointed. QUESADILLA- Average. FAJITAS- Average. PASTA- have not tried it yet, hooked on salads and soups (see above). RED BEANS & RICE (side order) - left me puzzled. It’s such an odd taste… Maybe I’m used to “local” rice and beans ;) Although this review might sound a bit harsh, this place is sooo needed in this area. So, when UWS seems thousands of miles away and you get the feeling to “bond” with Washington Heights- this is a place you should start with!

I agree with some of the reviewers in that the menu is overpriced for what you get. The restaurant has an easy going, local atmosphere, but it isn't worth writing home about. Nothing about this place stands out, but it will do for a change of scenery. I prefer breakfast/brunches to dinners. It fits a more casual feel that works for breakfast or lunch.

$18 average price for different dishes made up of the same ingredients. The food is tasty, but this place is a rip-off. The staff is nice, but for such a small restaurant, i would expect even faster service. What is with these restaurants coming into this area and expecting to be some upscale restaurant without the full quality?

"nice" restaurants in this neighborhood are few and far between, so having an eclectic menu helps take the sting out of living so far up town. altho the recipes of some dishes could stand a sprucing up, and the chefs can take a lesson or two in preparing certain dishes (like the rice and bean combo--what the hell is that all about??), i've always found the food to be fresh and tasty. another great aspect is that the chef will prepare anything on the menu to your liking, without an argument. ...prices are higher than they should be but so what... ...delivery is fast and friendly. ...the waitstaff vascilates between mediocre and slow. ...the interior is decent, if not a little minimalist. ...daily specials reeeeeeellly need re-vamping.
