We’ve been going to West End Grill to celebrate our anniversary for a number of years now. The food is always delicious, the waitstaff is friendly, informative and not pushy. Ambiance is perfect for a quiet, private dinner. Highly recommend West End Grill!

What a wonderful place to bring my dear friend for her 94th birthday. The whole restaurant staff and guests were warm and cordial and fun - singing together when the Tiramisu cake was brought to the table. The restaurant atmosphere was just right for the occasion - intimate and private yet a fine dinner party with the great service. Appreciate that there is still a white linen restaurant that doesn't crank up unnecessary noise levels and serves its guests graciously.

The Chilean Sea Bass at West End Grill used to be the standard that I measured similar dishes at other restaurants. No longer. It is just passable now.

My husband had rack of lamb and I had the halibut. We also had the shrimp dumplings and the tuna appetizers. We finished it off with the chocolate dessert. Chef did a wonderful job. Service was impeccable and we were well attended to by Chris. Also a shout out to the bartender who made a perfect martini on the rocks and old-fashioned. We haven’t been here for many years and we’re not sure why. Will be back soon.
