"Cafe West has become the premier purveyor of Southwestern cuisine in the Capital Region" -William Dowd, Times Union "I like to experiment with the ingredients, and I read all the time. I have a cookbook library that gives me· lots of inspiration. " - Rick Hallman, Owner/Chef

"Inspired is an apt word for Cafe West. Southwestern. cuisine, one of the most distinctive of American regional styles, relies heavily on the textures, colors and tastes offresh vegetables, along with a myriad assortment ofsalsas, touches ofcheeses, chiles and sausages. Hallman's interpre­ tation has a distinct seafood influence (grilled, poached, in stews, seviches) that keeps the menu on the lighter side. But he has worked in techniques and tastes from other regions as well- catfish. from the Deep South, an Alaskan roasting technique, and so on.
