The next BriefingsDirect case study interview explores the new face of customer engagement and procurement modernization by examining how MSC Industrial Supply is improving how they define and relate to their customers in the manufacturing sector.
MSC has been using the Ariba Network to innovatively bolster customer engagements, and to provide new solutions to their customers based on increased collaboration, information flow and buying trends analysis.
BriefingsDirect had an opportunity to uncover more about about such new, agile business services at the recent 2014 Ariba LIVE Conference in Las Vegas when we spoke to Erik Gershwind, President and CEO of MSC Industrial Supply in Melville, New York. The discussion is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: What procurement pressures are your customers facing? Why are they looking to change things? What's wrong with the status quo?
Gershwind: Most of our customers are North American manufacturers. One of the sea changes that we have seen occur, particular since the 2008-2009 global recession, is if you look back for the past two decades, there was a heavy focus by procurement, supply chain, and finance organizations on price, on cost.
Of course, that's still critically important, but since the 2008-2009 recession, businesses around the world, and certainly manufacturers in North America, now have a much greater awareness on the importance of cash flow and speed through the supply chain.
That's probably the biggest thing that we've seen in the past few years. Our customers are telling us that speed of the supply chain, getting to market faster, so they can have more of their products into their customers' hands faster, is becoming a much bigger priority.
Gardner: So to be swift, agile, and lean in the way you go to market requires that you look at your internal processes, and get lean there. Is that right?
Gershwind: Dana, that's exactly right. Leaner supply chains turn into shorter lead times. Shorter lead times mean faster speed to market. And all of that requires really tight dependency from every single link in the supply chain.
What we've found is that everything that's happening in our supply chain right now is driven by the end-user, what's happening with the customer, but that customer's needs are working their way back very quickly.
And collaboration, which is enabled by technology, is making it critically important in order to be effective in leaning things out.
Gardner: I certainly want to learn more about how you're modernizing procurement and bringing benefits, but first, tell us a little bit about MSC, for those of our listeners and readers who are not familiar with you.
Over a million items
Gershwind: MSC is a distributor of industrial supplies. We sell over a million items, primarily into manufacturing or any maintenance environment. That could be anything from a safety glove, to an abrasive, to the most advanced metal cutting tools that are used in the manufacturing process.
We exist so that we can help businesses focus on their business. We do that by ensuring that supply chains run smoothly. Our small part in that bigger mission is around taking the complexity, the obstacles, and the inefficiencies out of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) materials.
We were founded over 70 years ago in a tiny storefront on the lower East Side of Manhattan, and everybody at MSC, including myself, has been part of what's been an amazing growth story.
We focus on anything that's an indirect part of a production process. So not the raw materials, not the direct stuff, but all of the other things that keep plants running. That's what we specialize in.
We focus on anything that's an indirect part of a production process.
Gardner: Another thing that's going on, in addition to business pressure to be lean and agile, are some technology improvements over the past several years. One of those is a topic of the day, a hot topic, big data and the analytics that you can derive from more and more types of content and gain more and more insight.
How do you get information or acquire insights or analysis that can allow you to then bring better approaches to your customers in helping them be lean and efficient?
Gershwind: Historically, when I look at the core assets of MSC as a distributor, there were three things I would highlight: our people, first and foremost; our inventory; and our distribution centers, our physical assets.
What we're quickly realizing is that there's a fourth one that's every bit as important as the other three assets. That's information. You're absolutely right. With every transaction that occurs, especially because of technology now, there's learning in there.
Drive improvements
To answer your question, we're using technology to help us harvest that data, use it to drive improvements within our own four walls, but more importantly, with our customers and with our suppliers.
I'll give you two examples of how we're employing technology. One is Ariba. Ariba is the perfect platform for connecting buyers and sellers. It's a network, but it's a network that leaves footprints. With every transaction, there's a footprint left behind that's waiting to be mined for operational improvements.
Another example is our vending initiative. We at MSC will take a little piece of ourselves and put a vending machine on the plant floor of our customers to store tools and let them take responsibility for procurement. Certainly, one advantage is security and inventory optimization, but there is information to be mined in each one of those machines, and we're using that to help our customers.
Gardner: Tell me about your history of working with Ariba. How long have you been doing it, and what are some of the chief benefits that you see in using Ariba's Network and various cloud-based services to conduct your own procurement and tighten up your own processes?
Gershwind: MSC has been a seller on the Ariba Network for well over a decade. If you'll bear with me, I'll share a quick story, a trip down memory lane. One of our very first Ariba interactions was close to 15 years ago. One of our customers at the time, a big manufacturer, asked us if we could get up and running on the Ariba Network in less than a month's time.
It's bringing business networking to happen faster, more efficiently, and more frequently.
The three partners together -- the customer, MSC, and Ariba -- rolled up our sleeves. We had teams working on the same side of the table for a month straight. It was a great example of collaboration.
And I still remember us huddled around the computer screen, waiting for that first transaction to go through. I'm proud to say that that customer relationship is one of the best we have still today.
In terms of the benefits that we as a seller see, there are three things I would point to.
Number one is certainly enhanced revenue growth. Number two is cost savings, because transactions are now done electronically. But I would call out the third one as the most important. Ariba is helping us collaborate. It's bringing business networking to happen faster, more efficiently, and more frequently. And those collaborations are resulting in innovations to our supply chains collectively and are driving improvements.
Gardner: Erik, I'd like to return to this notion of the vending machines that, as you said, was an extension of your business into the actual physical plant of your customers. This reminds me of what happens in technology on the Internet. For big bundles of objects and data, rather than going from the server of the originator down to the individual user, we have what we call content delivery networks (CDNs), where we put those objects out as far toward the last mile as possible.
It seems to me that this is an interesting development for physical goods, and you also, of course, get the data back on how they are used. Explain to me your rationale and how far you've taken this into the market, this concept of the extension of your physical distribution capabilities into the very physical plant of your customers.
Critical element
Gershwind: Vending and the idea of extending ourselves into our customers' supply chains is a critical element of fulfilling our mission of helping supply chains run more effectively.
I'll share a quick example with you. This is a customer that uses vending machines for us. This customer has about 150 vending machines installed as part of an MSC system across 75 locations in North America, and that system is yielding tremendous benefits for them.
Recently their MRO category manager was in New York and shared with me that at one site in Alabama, one of this company's locations, their people were doing a mile-long walk there and back just to get to a centralized storeroom and get a supply replacement or part of a tool.
Think about that for a second, a mile walk. If somebody is doing that just once a day, and by the way, many are doing it multiple times a day, they're walking a marathon by the end of the month. So by bringing inventory closer to where work is getting done, this company is saving time and they are translating that time savings into real dollar savings.
There's no such thing anymore as "my" supply chain and "your" supply chain. It's one supply chain.
Gardner: I suppose there is also a common thread here with mobility, where people can use their mobile devices or smartphones to conduct businesses, activities, and processes and allow for check-offs, okays, and so forth, reducing that last mile and compressing the distance.
It also reminds me of being able to, in a sense, cross organizational boundaries. They become fuzzy. Your organization is inside another, for example.
Let's take this to a theoretical level. As we look three, four, or five years down the road, is the nature of buyer and seller changing? Are we really combining them into a common supply-chain ecosystem, where there isn't necessarily an adversarial relationship, but something different, more collaborative?
Gershwind: Dana, you just hit the keyword. It's collaboration. The way we look at it, we're all part of one supply chain. There's no such thing anymore as "my" supply chain and "your" supply chain. It's one supply chain, and we are all interdependent parts of the one bigger supply chain. The reality is that we can't be effective without each other, and that's how business is going to be run. The beauty of Ariba, more and more, is that it's making that collaboration happen faster, more efficiently, and more effectively.
Gardner: Now, what about the data, returning to that subject. It's okay with you to share data with Ariba and Ariba to share data with you. Then, we extrapolate that across industries, verticals, and go global. The amount of information we're gathering, even anonymized and private, gives us great insights. We can start to be more predictive. That is to say, you know your supply chain, what your customers will demand maybe quite a bit before, or we can identify risks when things go amiss, sooner rather than later.
So do you have any thoughts about the future of analysis and intelligence when we apply it to the supply chain equation?
Information business
Gershwind: It goes back to the idea that, as a distributor, we used to think of ourselves as being in the hard goods business, and of course, we still are, and always will be, but we're also in the information business.
The biggest change and trend that I would point to is the idea that information is now being used beyond our own four walls. At MSC, we always did a fairly decent job of mining our own data for supply chain improvements, forecasting, and understanding what to purchase.
What's now happening, and it all starts because of our customers' needs, that's working its way back through the supply chain, is data and information is now being used to help our customers, and even our suppliers run their businesses better.
So the vending example I gave you is a great one. As I said, each one of those electronic transactions is a footprint. It's the same thing with our website. E-commerce now represents nearly 50 percent of MSC's revenues. Every single one of those transactions leaves behind little breadcrumbs that give us insights that we can then use and share with our customers and further back in the supply chain with our suppliers.
I don't think anybody can do it alone anymore.
Gardner: It seems to me, Erik, that it requires a third party like the Ariba Network to aggregate and bring intelligence to bear on this massive data. I know that they're leveraging the HANA platform from SAP more and more to do that sort of big-data analysis and intelligence gathering.
How important is it for you to look at that third party and see them in a trusted fashion? Could you do this alone, and are there many other organizations that can fill the role like Ariba Network is?
Gershwind: I don't think anybody can do it alone anymore. That's really the nature of the supply chain that we just talked about. What Ariba does is bring businesses together.
Think of it as a virtual networking forum. It used to be that, in the old days, you were able to network when you got together maybe once a quarter. Ariba is letting that happen in real time, all the time.
Are there others doing it? Maybe, but none that we trust more than Ariba. As I said, we've been doing it for well over a decade with them and we view them as an extension of ourselves into our customers.
Gardner: We're about out of time, but let's look to the future. Do you have any ideas about what you'd like to see from your unique position in the supply chain business, in manufacturing, and in indirect goods? What would you like to see for the next revolution?
Indirect materials
Gershwind: The one thing I would point to that we haven't talked about is the opportunity that's sitting right in front of procurement and supply chain, when it comes to indirect materials. For the last decade or so, procurement has done a wonderful job cleaning up direct materials, getting clear line of sight, optimizing the supply chain, and taking cost out.
Earlier this morning, in the general session, I referred to direct materials as the garage of the house, because everybody goes in, it's a high profile spot, everybody is in it, it's core to your operations, and it's gotten a lot of attention.
Indirect materials is like the attic of your house. If it's anything like my attic, it's neglected, the light bulb hasn't been replaced. So it's dark and you can't see what's going on.
What we do know is that today, sitting in North American businesses, is $145 billion of MRO inventory alone, let alone broader indirect materials. We also know that 70 percent of that is likely never to be used.
So sitting in front of procurement is a $100 billion opportunity. It's not just the job of procurement, but all of us as a supply chain. It's sitting there waiting for us.
So sitting in front of procurement is a $100 billion opportunity. It's not just the job of procurement, but all of us as a supply chain. It's sitting there waiting for us.
Gardner: What do you mean? How do we attack this problem, clean up the attic, as it were? Do we need to have better inventory? Do we have just-in-time supply chain, ordering and fulfillment? What is it that we need to bring to indirect that's missing?
Gershwind: There are three things that we want to bring to indirect procurement and get at the attic. Number one is looking for time. The natural bias is to focus on cost, but what we've come to learn with our customers who are doing it well is that, if you focus on time savings, the cost savings does follow. That's number one.
Number two, we need light. We need light up there and we need to bring a flashlight with us. That flashlight is technology -- technology like Ariba. Use technology as the flashlight.
And the third thing, and we've been hitting on it all morning here, is collaboration. Get another set of eyes. It's hard to see things by yourself. You can't be successful on your own. So bring partners in and help you attack that $100 billion.
Gardner: So we are really talking about modernizing indirect procurement in ways that we have already established. We know these things work and we just have to establish the will and then bring it into that part of the business.
Gershwind: That's it. It's about taking what we have already done in the garage and applying it to the attic. That's right.

Wyclef Jean Hits Back at Made-Up Shoot Story Allegations
Rapper Wyclef Jean has hit out at allegations suggesting he fabricated the story of his shooting in Haiti, accusing critics of spreading false rumors to purposely discredit him. The former The Fugees star was traveling through the city of Delmas, near Port-au-Prince, on Saturday night, March 19 when his car came under attack. He suffered a minor injury to his hand and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Jean's version of events have since been called into question by several sources in his homeland, who have alleged he made up the claims to boost media coverage of his presence in Haiti during Sunday's March 20 presidential election.
But Jean has brushed off the criticism in an interview with CNN. Describing the incident, he says, "Basically, it's night. I'm with my chauffeur, FanFan, get out the car, make a call... make a long story short: we hear what's called in Creole 'catoosh', the sound of the booms. I look, hand gushing with blood. Jumped in the car with FanFan, ran, picked my crew up, and went to the nearest hospital. I think, really, I got grazed..."
The rapper, who was ruled ineligible to run for office last year, is also baffled by reports claiming he was in the car with his hip-hop pal Busta Rhymes, who flew to Haiti last week to join Jean as he campaigned for presidential hopeful Michel Martelly. Jean adds, "There's 50 million different stories on the Internet. This is Haiti, it's a city of rumors (sic). There's another (rumor) with me and Busta Rhymes in the car."
Meanwhile, Rhymes has taken to his Twitter.com blog to assure fans he is safe and sound. He writes, "By the way I just wanna thank everybody that checked on my safety in Haiti... I'm good and @wyclef is good. God got his hand on us."The results of the election, between Martelly and former First Lady Mirlande Manigat are expected to be released next month.

The present invention relates to a combination of potassium and magnesium-salts useful in the treatment of hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. In particular, it relates to a combination of controlled release potassium chloride and an immediately-released magnesium salt, preferably magnesium oxide.
It is well known that mineral deficiencies such as hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia can occur for a variety of dietary or physiological reasons and often result from long term therapy with drugs such as thiazides and loop diuretics. Hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia can cause variety of unpleasant or dangerous symptoms including cardiac arrhythymias, weakness, fatigue and muscle cramps.
While the need for potassium and magnesium supplementation is well recognized, no combination supplements known to date have been completely successful. Potassium is known to cause irritation and/or ulceration in the gastric tract when taken orally, so combinations of salts such as the granulation described in UK Patent 1,356,096, which provides both potassium and magnesium in immediate release form, are likely to promote gastric upset.
Other known formulations wherein the release of both the potassium and magnesium are controlled, e.g. those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,104,370 and UK patent 1,356,097, tend to promote the same gastric problems, but for the opposite reason. That is, wax-matrix formulations such as disclosed in the cited patents may not disintegrate rapidly or completely, causing high local concentrations of potassium injurious to the gastric tract. These wax-matrix tablets, as well as other controlled release formulations such as that described in German patent 2,132,923, wherein enteric coated capsules are disclosed, (which capsules in effect become immediate release formulations when the coating and capsule dissolve, thereby presenting the problems associated with non-controlled release potassium salts) further present the possibility of reduced bioavailability of magnesium. Magnesium is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in the region of the upper small bowel by means of an active process closely related to the transport system for calcium. Therefore, the use of magnesium in a controlled-release or enteric-release form would be inappropriate due to the reduced biavailability. Moreover, unlike potassium, the controlled release of magnesium is unnecessary since magnesium salts are not associated with gastrointestinal irritation and ulceration.
Furthermore, the above cited patents may not provide therapeutic doses of both potassium and magnesium. The dosages in the formulation in the cited patents range from a low of 0.25 to a high of 15 meq. for magnesium and from a low of 0.4 to a high of 10 meq. for potassium. However, the recommended daily dietary allowance for magnesium in adults is 25 to 33.4 meq (milliequivalent). The daily dose of magnesium required to prevent depletion in patients receiving diuretics has not yet been established, while a daily dose of 20 meq of potassium is typically used for the prevention of hypokalmia.
We have found that a combination of controlled release potassium chloride and an immediately-released magnesium salt provides the necessary physical and pharmacological characteristics to allow maximum efficacy.
In particular, the present invention relates to a combination of coated potassium chloride crystals and a magnesium salt, wherein the potassium chloride crystals are coated with a combination of ethylcellulose and at least one of hydroxypropylcellulose and polyethyleneglycol. The coated crystals are comprised of about 60 to 86.5% by weight of potassium chloride, about 9 to 15% by weight of ethylcellulose, and about 0.5 to 3% by weight of at least one of hydroxypropylcellulose and polyethylene glycol and preferably may comprise 0.5 to 2% of a lubricating agent such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid (all percentages based on the total weight of the coated crystals). The potassium chloride crystals have a mesh size of 30-50 mesh, preferably 40 mesh. Coated potassium chloride crystals as described above are disclosed in WO 86/04817, published Aug. 28, 1986, which claims priority of co-assigned U.S. Ser. No. 702,714, filed Feb. 19, 1985, now abandoned, and herein incorporated by reference. Such coated crystals, when introduced into the gastric tract, e.g., from a quickly-disintegrating tablet, are distributed by the peristaltic motion of the gut and do not allow undesirable locally high potassium chloride concentrations.
The magnesium salt is selected from pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium gluconate, magnesium phosphate, magnesium oxide, or a combination of such salts. High magnesium content salts are preferred, e.g., the hydroxide and oxide, since the final dosage form is therefore less bulky. Magnesium oxide is a preferred salt.
The coated potassium chloride crystal and magnesium salt mixture can be filled into capsules, either a conventional pharmaceutically acceptable capsule to be swallowed whole by the patient, or a capsule which may be opened by the patient. The latter capsules or packets (e.g., sealed cellophane envelopes) may be used to administer the mixture in liquid form (e.g., suspend the mixture in water or juice) or in soft food (e.g., sprinkle the mixture on applesauce).
The mixture of coated potassium chloride crystals and magnesium salt can also be compressed into tablets for oral administration. Such tablets may comprise conventional excipients, such as diluents, compression aids, disintegrants, lubricants, flavorings and coloring agents. Tablets of the present invention preferably comprise a compression aid such as micro-crystalline cellulose or lactose; a disintegrant such as crospovidone (cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone), a modified starch (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl starch), or a modified cellulose gum (e.g., croscarmellose sodium type A, N.F.); and a lubricating agent such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid. Preferred are microcrystalline cellulose as the compression aid, crospovidone as the disintegrant, and magnesium stearate as the lubricant. Concentration ranges (based on total tablet weight) of the excipients are about 4-20%, preferably about 6% compression aid; about 0.5 to 10%, preferably about 1% disintegrant; and 0 to about 1%, preferably about 0.5% lubricant.
Tablets may be prepared by conventional tabletting procedures.
Dosage forms of the present invention comprise a magnesium slat in an amount to provide about 7.5 to about 35 meq elemental magnesium per day, preferably about 7.5 to about 15 meq per day. The typical daily dose of potassium for the prevention of hypokalemia is 20 meq per day, and for the treatment of potassium deficiency, 40-100 meq per day. The lower concentration dosage forms of this invention may be taken in a single daily dose, but the higher dosages are preferably administered in divided dosages taken 2 to 4 times a day. Dosage forms of this invention thus comprise about 10 meq to about 20 meq potassium chloride and 7.5 to 35 meq of magnesium salt.
The following examples show the preparation of the coated potassium chloride crystals and several typical tablet formulations.

Given a set of points with unequal x-coordinates, I want to calculate the value v > 0 such that the shear transformation (x, y) -> (x + v*y, y) doesn't change the order in the x-direction.
This isn't difficult. Order the points by their x-axis. Because of the continuity of the shear transformation, it's enough for you to find a maximum v that two consecutive points (in x-order) do not change order. Let (x,y) and (x',y') be two consecutive points in your ordering. with v>0, the x coordinates change as x -> x + vy and x' -> x' + vy'. Now as x'>x, you want to find maximum v such that x' + vy' >= x + vy. By linearity, it's enough to solve
If the result is negative, then any value of v goes (the points are moving farther away); if the result is positive, that's the maximum value that the pair (x,y), (x',y') can tolerate. Now calculate this maximum for all consecutive pairs and take their minimum.
Note that if y = y', v becomes undefined. In this case the points lie at the same point on y-axis and the shear transformation doesn't change their distance.
Convert each point (x, y) into a ray {(x + yv, v) | v ≥ 0} in the xv-halfplane with v ≥ 0. Use a segment intersection algorithm to find the one with minimum v.

A black and white plaid scarf
wraps itself loosely around a mans neck
Pitched to the back of his head sits a fedora hat
Wrapped around his thin frame a woollen suit jacket lives
Tight dark blue jeans reach a pair of black canvas shoes
Black sunglasses hide the previous night's performance
He walked into my arms today
Slung over his shoulder a bag of washing
weighs him down
Immediately I want to unburden him
Let me put that on for you
Would you like a cup of coffee
toast with eggs
a roast an apple pie?
Can I remove that scar from near your eye?
The one I could not prevent or even tend to
Like I did with the scrapes on your little boy knees
Have I told you lately
I'm proud of you?
You joke and quote Dylan
The Beatles lyrics your mantras
Existentialism your badge
It's not a slip of my eye
watching your mind tick
I pinch myself til I bruise
every inch of skin
Remembering the moment
you sat at a piano and played
Classical music for your grandparents
I had no idea you knew how to play
The strings of a guitar
reverberate much more than
the tunes you play
Your soul is unleashed
Again, I had no idea you knew how to play
The note book you carry under your arm
Wrapped tightly with an elastic band
I'm certain
carries deep within its pages
more than tram ride conservations
Dare I peak into its pages
And learn the many things
I have no idea about

I wanted to make my son's 19th birthday an evening to remember and the staff and of course the meals did not disappoint. To quote my son after his first bite of the Filet Mignon " Christmas has come early this year". Priceless

It was wonderful the service was exceptional and the meals were delicious especially the Chilean sea bass with the lentils. Thank you for a memorable evening and meal.
This is an excellent place!! We will definitely return soon!
Good quality but could use some zip
From the ease of on line reservations to paying the tab, everything went smoothly. Table was set properly, wine by the glass was superb, the lamb was properly prepared and plated. Service was great with the dishes served in a timely fashion. Coffee and desert were well received and a treat. The bill was properly itemized and presented. The ambiance is friendly, quietly reserved with a more relaxed and bustling scene at the bar. Interesting was the butcher and fish display as is the open food prep in the middle of it all. No hustle, nothing frantic, just good people doing a fine job whatever their position, from hostess, to server, to busboy to chefs. Will be back to do the filet mignon (again!) This is our fourth time, and as always, great. Can't wait to be back.
Great Resturant will be back next week

Excellent meal and service. Chose the "Shared Surf & Turf" which includes everything and it was perfect. Showed up for 8:45 reservation, but patrons weren't leaving so only sat down at 9:15.. They were very apologetic and attentive to all our needs. Mr. Joe refused to accept payment for our drinks and also brought us wine during dinner on the house. A class act. Can't wait to return.
Loved it
Absolutely delicious, would go back in a heart beat.
Value for money
Last year, had supper with my wife and enjoyed the ambiance and excellent food and service. Unfortunately, invited the family this time to enjoy the experience and was very disappointed. The service lacked professionalism for such a high standard restaurant compared to previous visit. The quality, presentation, and quantities were all above expectations from a food point of view but the greatest disappointment was the food was lukewarm at most. The fact we were 8 in our party should not of been a factor and you would expect nothing less than perfection based on the price they charge. Both appetizers and entrees were not even close to being hot, including the coffees we took which were cold. The only item was the onion soup which arrived hot. Thought I had found a special restaurant to celebrate special occasions last year, but based on past experience will not be returning nor recommending to any friends.
I love this restaurant in the west end of Montreal

Excellent food & great service. One of my favourite restaurants!
The food was good, especially the steak but it is overpriced. The evening 3 course menu is reasonable but the choices are very limited. The wine prices are too high for the selection especially the wine by the glass.

I found the layout to be very spacious and the staff quite welcoming. There were nothing but rave reviews at our table of the à la carte and menu items. It was my first time at the 40 Westt and I will definitely be back.
Great service!
We had exceptional service and very friendly staff. Thanks for great business lunch!
Mr Manning
We had an excellent business dinner with an important client. He was very impressed with the meal, the atmosphere and the fine selection of Wine. It helped with the close.
Grocery Store Stake
I have been to some of the best stake restaurants Canada and the US. 40 West is absolutely NOT on the list. I ordered the 14 oz ribeye and got a fatty 1/4 inch piece of meet from SuperC. also - I mentioned it to 2 servers and a hostess and I NEVER heard from a manager. DO not book here. Just go to the Keg in the west island or make the trip downtown to JoeBeef or anywhere else.
Always Outstanding
The food is amazing, the service is outstanding, the ambiance is lively. Our waiter Etien was friendly, efficient, courteous and professional. Our waitress Roxane was witty, friendly and efficient. A perfect evening. I've visited 40Westt often, and they never disappoint.
Just OK
Was expecting something over top I brough some customers and their reaction was ordinary The food was ok but didn't blow mw away Price per value was not even close Don't get me wrong the food was good but could have gone to another steak house for about 1/3 the price
A One Time Experience
I am glad that we tried this restaurant once however would not return. The service and ambiance were excellent. As for the food, I do not mind paying a lot of money however, the food is not worth it. They are known for their steaks and yet have had better at other restaurants.
Well planned fixed menu choices for lunch
Always enjoy the 3 coarse lunch menu. As usual the wedge salad is refreshing, this day the soup was cream of cauliflower also very good. I saw the 3rd choice it was a very thin slice of eggplant wrapped around goat cheese, looked nice but really small. As the main we had a poached salmon, very good & a delicious boeuf bourguignon. They also have a beef selection & another seafood & a pasta of the week choice. Then the dessert remains the mini chocolate soufflé with ice cream, yummy. They also offered a fried doughnut stuffed with Nutella really good but slightly over fried/heavy. To finish off a nice meal you can choose tea &/or coffee.
Great food. Excellent service.
Great food. Excellent service.
Please remove the big TV screens
40 Westt is not a cage aux sports. I appreciated the food and the band but please remove the hideous TV screens. Also, the restaurant is hard to find. There are no directions from des sources nor inside the mall.
Great food ... but lack the whole experience!
With this level of restaurant, you expect an experience ... which i did not get from my last visit. The food was excellent, presentation and service was under expectation but I would defiantly give it another try.
Not many restaurants can offer this level of food!
Whenever we want to celebrate an occasion, or want to sit down and enjoy a meal with our family, we dine at the 40 West Steakhouse. The selection, quality, preparation, and presentation of their menu are second to none in my opinion. Not to mention the service, the wait staff are extremely attentive, and even our children comment on how amazing everything is. From the moment you enter the lobby you know that your dining experience will be special. 40 West Steakhouse is the definition of fine dining!

Simply the best steakhouse in town for my taste and experience, and I've been to many.
40 Westt - a Dissapointment
The service was slow. Steaks were excellent, mashed potato was bland and asparagus slightly undercooked. Wine by the glass was the smallest amount I have ever been served. Can get a better meal, at a much lower price at other good quality steak restaurants.
I just love it
The service is well beyond the call of duty. The food is excellent and so is the seafood. The wine list is great, they always have a few bottles off-the-list that are phenomenal, ask the maitre-d' . Great jazz atmosphere, even some live events at night. Large windows, large room, decorated with great art. I go there at least once a week. Fully recommend.
Consistently good
What I like about 40 Westt is that unlike some other establishments when I take guests over I will not have to worry about spotty service or quality and be given excuses. My experience has been that they provide consistently good food and great service. This is the main reason why we go back and not shy to recommend to others as well.

Our server Jessica was wonderful. Attentive while keeping interruptions to a minimum and recommended a nice wine, she was always available if we needed anything. Food was excellent, cooked to specifications requested. 40 Westt never disappoints.

As usual, the 40 Westt beats many others hands down! And we received a complimentary coffee and dessert 👍👍👍👍👍

If you enjoy a great steak, this is it. However be prepared to pay for it as well, it's not cheap.
Excellent restaurant for Steak
Excellent restaurant for steak. This restaurant is great for business lunches and special occasions.
Great Experience
Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and all in all it was a great experience. Easily the best steak I've ever had and the dessert was delicious too. The meal was pricey but I honestly can't complain as it was phenomenal
Nice steakhouse - excellent service
My Spouse and I ordered filet mignon, even cooking. Mine was perfect but my spouce's steak was too cooked. Other than that, we spent a pleasant night
Good meal!
a very nice evening. Food is great. Salmon, steaks, ahi tuna is excellent. Huge sides. Nice service. Wonderful desserts. Go for a special evening.
great food, amazing service, ambiance next to none. If you are going to spend $$$ on an evening out, you cannot go wrong at 40 Westt. Special mention to Fekry who really made the night special with his amazing charm and knowledge.
Tremendous service and great food offering!
It was our first time at 40 Westt. Our server, Basile, took the time to explain just about every item on the menu... what it was, how it was prepared and what accompaniments go best with that meal, including appetizers. Truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Looking forward to my next visit.

Among the minister's prepared remarks, this section in particular jumps off the page:
"Spending on policing has increased steadily -- reaching more than $12 billion annually in 2010.
At the same time, over the last decade, the volume and severity of reported crime have both been on the decline.
This has added fuel to the debate among Canadians, who rightfully want to know where and how their tax dollars are being spent."
What Toews says is true, according to Statistics Canada crime rate statistics. Given the theme of the conference, it's a perfectly legitimate point to underscore: as decision-makers figure out how to cut costs and (to use a cliché) "do more with less," they also have to wrestle with how much of what they're doing now is justified according to the latest figures.
The accuracy and relative importance of these Statistics Canada crime rate statistics have been challenged frequently by several ministers in the Harper government -- including Toews -- over the last few years, in explaining the need for often-controversial pieces of crime legislation, not to mention the increased spending required to pay for the Conservatives' justice and public safety agendas:
- July 2012 - Statistics Canada crime rate figures show another decrease in the overall incidence of reported crime in Canada; the 2011 rate is the lowest since 1972.
"The Statistics Canada report showed that the crime rate has decreased by 6 per cent from last year. However, it remains 208 per cent higher than it was in 1962," Julie Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in a statement.
"These statistics show that our tough-on-crime measures are starting to work. Our government is stopping the revolving door of the criminal justice system.
- Feb. 2012 - Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and Vic Toews testify before the Senate committee reviewing the controversial omnibus crime legislation, C-10:
Toews said he's not concerned with crime rate statistics and that much of the "rhetoric" on the costs of C-10 is "not warranted."
"Let's not talk about statistics, let's talk about danger," the public safety minister said.
- Oct. 2010 - Asked about statistics showing a declining crime rate at an announcement about a new prison expansion, Toews doubts the stats:
Toews dismissed reports from Statistics Canada that the crime rate is falling. In July, the statistical agency reported that "both the volume and severity of police-reported crime fell in 2009," three per cent from 2008 and 17 per cent from 1999.
"The crime isn't going down," Toews insisted. "It is still unacceptably high. Canadians should not be subjected to that kind of crime rate."
- Sept. 2010 - A study suggests a small decline in the number of Canadians reporting crime to police. Conservatives point to these figures as evidence of a significant amount of "unreported crime" that needs to be addressed with new justice legislation and investments in policing and corrections facilities.
"The drop in reporting to police is 'very troubling,' and a sign law enforcement should "take the complaints of Canadians more seriously," Toews told CBC's Power & Politics with Evan Solomon.
"We see this continuing trend of more and more crimes going unreported, and that ... I believe is an indication of a lack of confidence in the justice system," Toews said. "And that is why our government is taking the measures that we are taking."

ACE (ammonium sulfide combined etching) is a new treatment designed for use in hydrocarbon gas RIE based fabrication of InP-based buried-heterostructure (BH) laser diodes (LD). ACE involves dipping a sample in ammonium sulfide (NH4Sx) solution at room temperature for 10 minutes and then treating it again with sulfuric acid prior to regrowth. We found that ACE improves regrowth interface quality and LD characteristics due to its ability to remove impurities incorporated during the process
