Best Casual Restaurants in West End

This was our 2nd visit. We really enjoyed our first visit, so decided to return when in the area instead of trying out a new spot. Made last minute reservations and were seated quickly. There was a very off putting smell when waiting at the host table - couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Walked to our table hoping it wasn’t throughout the restaurant. We sat down and reviewed the menu. Waiter arrived and he was not super helpful in helping my parents who had never had been there choose a meal, which was frustrating for a restaurant of this caliber. Felt very rushed to make menu choices and without our questions being adequately answered. Food came out and was fine. Just the waiter ruined the experience.

Great service from start to finish. Ambience was cozy and in a great location overall. Great price for valet parking!! Sophisticated crowd overall with symphony-goers and local residents mixed in; very close to the Kennedy by car. Crispy mushrooms were excellent but I would get another appetizer to breakup monotony of shrooms. Lamb ribs were a bit too fatty and tuna bolognese was an interesting twist on bolognese. Portions were appropriate in size. I would return

Delicious food and amazing service! Highly recommend the mussels appetizer, and our daughter loved the pasta in marinara and “dirt” dessert off the kids menu.

Went for a dinner with friends and it was nice, food was good, just a tad loud.

Everything about our dinner here was 5-star! The food was delicious, the wine choice was outstanding, the service was attentive and helpful, and the ambiance was great. If you're a wine drinker, this is a fabulous restaurant to go to with an extensive list of wines from around the world. They also had a decent choice of cocktails. Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert was also delicious!
