As always the food at West End was excellent. Our table had short ribs, seared tuna, chicken and shrimp and mussels. Each dish was prepared to everyone’s liking. Only the service was a little off. It seemed like there were not enough wait staff to attend to each table. Had to call people over each time we needed to order or ask for something.

Food as always was good little on the salty side after mishap at the table with a glass breaking by one of the workers and replacing our meals and waiting we think that the dessert should’ve been offered even though we said no, but it could’ve been on the house
