We had the date night special and it was great. We both had the shrimp appetizer that was very generous, a filet and sea bass done to perfection, asparagus and beans (so much to share!) Apple pie for desert (to go since we were so full!) And a bottle of wine! The service was outstanding! Thank you for a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely return…

I recently visited The Ends, and I was not disappointed! The experience was wonderful, with a romantic ambiance that sets the perfect mood for a night out. The drinks? Absolutely phenomenal—creative, balanced, and downright memorable. However, let’s talk about the fries. Our waitress enthusiastically recommended them, so we gave them a shot, but… don’t. They’re your standard frozen fries served with ketchup—nothing special. Honestly, we weren’t even considering them until her pitch swayed us. Lesson learned. All in all, The Ends is a fantastic spot. Just steer clear of the fries, and you’ll be in for a great time!
