    This is the 1st time I would not give them 5 stars after many visits. After arriving early, about 4:15 PM, before going to theatre. The time to get our food was exceptionally long, we had to go look for our waiter in a nearly empty restaurant. They food was excellent and the service was definitely lacking.

    Great service, fast and the food was fantastic! We will be back to try other menu items. Perfect lunch spot, but dinner menu looks good too, Easy parking as well.

    I have to say that Brian and the West End staff went above and beyond to make my husband's birthday celebration the BEST! We've been dining at West End for years, and tonight's meals (all 6 of them) were truly delicious. 3 of us had salmon, 1 had meatloaf, 1 steak, and 1 member of our party asked for a custom pasta with oil and vegetables. To the person, everyone was extremely pleased with their meal. I brought in a cake for the occasion, and Brian and staff placed it on a fancy plate, drizzled with extra chocolate and presented it to the birthday boy (with a candle of course). I cannot say enough to thank Brian, the chefs in the kitchen, and all the staff for their 5 star rated service!

    Food was very good but on this visit, it took a while to have someone take our order. They seemed to be understaffed on this occasion. Perhaps they wern't expecting as many people as there were. However, once we ordered, we got our food in a reasonable amount of time.

    We had another wonderful experience at West End at a dinner celebrating the success of our Mozambican colleagues. The dinner was outstanding and the waitstaff was available but not intrusive. Superb evening all around.

    The calmarie was excellent...thick steak, tender and lightly breaded. Hard to eat on the bun, so I unpacked it. Way too many french fries...would have been nice to have something else.
