    Everything about our service was impeccable! Came here with our family for my husband's birthday. Everything about this dinner was a true experience! Waiter was friendly and engaging, food incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection, drinks were generous, ambiance was incredible. Highly recommend the seafood tower and Wagyu A5! This is definitely our favorite spot for special occasions.

    Second time here, once again a winner. We even ended up with the same server, Torrey, and she also was once again fantastic! We were there for the Valentine's Day pre-fixe menu and enjoyed it immensely. We had the chopped salad, clam chowder, meatloaf (amazing!!) and bananas foster bread pudding. Walked out pleasantly full, not grossly overstuffed, with some leftover meatloaf for a weekend lunch -and it is excellent as leftovers. We will keep coming back!

    The Ends is an incredible restaurant. I love that they don’t use any seed oils and instead focus on cooking with tallow. The food is amazing, and I think their pasta is better than any Italian restaurant here in the Valley. I know everyone says this, but the Cacio e Pepe is definitely something to write home about. It’s really, really good. Almost equivalent to the one I had at Osteria Da Fortunata in Rome. The thick noodles and sauce are very similar. Absolutely delicious. We also had the mushroom pasta, meatballs, Hamachi crudo, and beet burrata. All excellent. The only downside was that they were out of multiple dishes, which was a bit disappointing. However, they made it up to us by giving us a $45 gift card, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

    We shared the kale ceaser salad, chimichurri steak, and the veggies enchilada for date night. Everything was great. We also coveted our neighbors' truffle flat bread. We'll be back for that for sure. Limited wine menu, however, didn't disappoint. Nice casual evening
