Nice bar and bartender. Dinner for 4, service was ok, started with sharing two salads. Caesar and wedge. Asked the waitress if they could split them in the kitchen. Was told restaurant doesn't do that salads arrived and the wedge salad was the smallest I've ever seen. Definitely not shareable. Caesar was literally 4x larger. Both cost $15. When I politely mentioned the size of the salad to the waitress, ask she asked is if we wanted to order another one. She didn't really care. Two of us had the tuna for $38, maybe 6-7 medallions about the size of a quarter. Was good, but guessing not more than 4 ozs. of tuna. Left there hungry, went home and made a sandwich.

West End Cafe is a neighborhood gem and a staple for dinner dates with family and friends. The food is always expertly prepared and the staff friendly and professional. The Asian duck tacos, braised short ribs, pan-seared black sea bass, and the grilled octopus are a few of our favorites. For dessert, the warm apple crisp is a must. Great wine and cocktail choices!

Excellent food presented beautifully. Good service, but it appears to be a team effort. A bit more goat cheese should be present in the beet salad. Carrot cake should come with a warning as there are nuts In it.
