    Great service with Brian and the team. The artichoke and calamari appetizers are amazing, as well as all the other food we have tried. West End Bar and Kitchen is our new favorite place!

    Went for Happy Hour in the bar on a Monday night. Food was great and good value. Biggest downside was service in the bar seemed a bit slow - I think because of some large parties in the main dining area combined with low staffing (due to Monday). We eventually got noticed and then service became good. Just a small nit to pick in an otherwise great experience.

    The food was delicious. Husband had the crab ravioli and I had the clam linguini. We started with the ceviche-very flavorful. Great server and easy to get in and out. Parking in the back which is also convenient.
