   Been here many times. Service slow, shrimp taco appetizer very good, pork chop dry, pasta special was mushy. Not retuning.

   Another great dining experience at WEC. Great food, super service and a non rushed dinner.

   The West End Cafe is always great. We had a very good lunch experience. There were great lunch specials and the regular menu had great choices. The Sweet Thai shrimp wrap was delicious, the flat bread with goat cheese, dates was also excellent. One of the best places to meet for a very quiet lunch.

   The Romano Crusted Chicken was delicious! It was moist and had a lot of flavor. Our waiter was very nice and we are always happy to bring friends and family to West End! It’s consistently good!!

   Nice bar and bartender. Dinner for 4, service was ok, started with sharing two salads. Caesar and wedge. Asked the waitress if they could split them in the kitchen. Was told restaurant doesn't do that salads arrived and the wedge salad was the smallest I've ever seen. Definitely not shareable. Caesar was literally 4x larger. Both cost $15. When I politely mentioned the size of the salad to the waitress, ask she asked is if we wanted to order another one. She didn't really care. Two of us had the tuna for $38, maybe 6-7 medallions about the size of a quarter. Was good, but guessing not more than 4 ozs. of tuna. Left there hungry, went home and made a sandwich.

   West End Cafe is a neighborhood gem and a staple for dinner dates with family and friends. The food is always expertly prepared and the staff friendly and professional. The Asian duck tacos, braised short ribs, pan-seared black sea bass, and the grilled octopus are a few of our favorites. For dessert, the warm apple crisp is a must. Great wine and cocktail choices!

   West End has always been a gem of restaurant. If you haven't experienced it, run to make a reservation.

    Excellent food presented beautifully. Good service, but it appears to be a team effort. A bit more goat cheese should be present in the beet salad. Carrot cake should come with a warning as there are nuts In it.
