Recently visited for a girls dinner and was able to share a handful of plates across the table. Our server provided us with great combination options to maximize flavor profiles and guided us through the culinary experience. This was the first pistachio espresso martini I've tried and the flavor was great - not too overbearing but rather a hint of pistachio to cut the tart flavor of espresso. Combining the Nigiri with the Crispy Egg Yolk was our favorite pairing - and those items are available during happy hour which they have every day from 4-6pm. We had heard great things about the crispy brussel sprout salad but as a minimal salad eater - it was decent. Cacio Pepe was very creamy and a great portion. I was rather let down by the Bison but this was my first experience having it, so I'll have to give it another go. The restaurant was quite busy but not overly loud which was pleasant.
The ends, thank you for making real food with real ingredients,NO SEED OILS, tallow, and butter!!!! THE BEST! Haley, Chris, Kenna, Lilly thank you so much for being so awesome. There are a few other people that came to our table last night and unfortunately, I did not get their names. I started off by making a phone call and I spoke with Haley because I couldn't seem to find the place it was difficult, she told me she was coming outside to find me, I love her. It was our anniversary and they put us at the perfect table. We were able to take advantage of the happy hour prices for a couple drinks and a couple appetizers, Hamachi Crudo was fabulous. I wish I could say the same about the shrimp cocktail, but I can't, even at the happy hour prices we received two large shrimp but they were totally tasteless. My sirloin ($79) was cooked perfect and the bone marrow butter was the bomb. I also was very impressed with my Anthony Bourdain's mashed. My husband's bison steak ($79) was not. It tasted really strange, gamey, extremely fatty. Check out the big side of that steak. I've never had a bison steak like that. I love that they had a variety of red wine that I could drink because I don't drink any domestic wines anymore so it was nice to have wine from South America. Our happy hour drinks were good at $15. If you don't hit happy hour all drinks are $23! Here's the crazy thing about the cost of drinks. You usually get about an ounce and a half maybe 2 ounces of alcohol and rest of it. It is ice cubes.. The place was very well decorated, and I loved the venue. The lighting was perfect. I WOULD RECOMMEND Entrance is very tricky
The restaurant is a bit difficult to find with very limited signage, so try to arrive early for that and to find a parking spot. If you see "The Energy Never Dies" writing nearby the door, you are in the correct place. It is best to make an advance reservation to get a table. Even when you get seated, the table has a notice saying there is a two hour dinner time limit. Our service and food were both excellent and lived up to the hype! Started with the Curious by Nature cocktail, which was a creative combination of flavors, but a bit expensive for the drink size. For food I tried the hamachi crudo, Tommy's biscuits, crab stuffed pasta, red snapper, and the charred broccoli. I don't know what type of sauce came with the broccoli, but it was amazing. I also loved the Anthony Bourdain themed photos and decor! This place is great for a date night or to catch up with friends. The only downside is they did not offer anything for a birthday or special occasion, but I definitely plan to go back for the food.
I mainly went here for the happy hour- I showed up exactly at 4pm when happy hour started and the host stated they were very busy that night and there was a 1 hour and 30 minute limit in the dining area for happy hour. I decided to sit at the bar instead as there was no time limit. The bartender was not very good as providing recommendations of stating what did and did not go together. Come to find out the nigiri pairs well with the yolk rice cake, but we didn't know that so we ordered them separately and didn't get the full experience. The meatball was just odd as it was mixed with bison meat but the tomato sauce was very acidly and the cheese was a weird consistency. Not sure if that was what they were going for but it wasn't my thing or my friend's either so we just finished it as we paid for it. Happy hour cocktail menu is very limited as I'm not much of a brown liquor girl or martini person and that was all that was available outside of wine. I do understand the restaurant does not have seed oils however the pasta we got was very salty and peppery at the same time. The restaurant is beautifully designed and the ambience is very cool!
Came to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary! My husband surprised me so didn't know what to expect. Parking was a little reduced, as expected in the Downtown Scottsdale area. The entrance has 'hidden' in an unassuming hallway. Walk through the doors and you are transported into a total vibe, mix between Tulum & the Mediterranean. We arrived early and they were still able to sit us as soon as we checked in. All the hostesses were absolutely delightful. We ordered the burnt ends as an app, which we loved with the house sauce. I had the beet salad and the stuffed ravioli which were out of this world! Every bite was delicious. The beets were pickled, and there was a honey/nut drizzle that balanced the tartness, just perfection. The pasta plate was beautifully plated; every piece intentionally placed, from the fried prosciutto to the little sage leaf atop each one. My husband ordered the bison ribeye. He loved the cut and the crispy fingerling fries. Definitely coming back!
This place needs to be recognized more... or maybe not and I can keep it to myself haha. I love how the restaurant is 'hidden' but also in plain site. Inside, the restaurant is covered with plants, arts, and has that dark, sexy vibe. We came here for a double date for restaurant week but opted for the main menu. Our server was Shreese and she made the entire experience top notch. We got the crispy rice egg yolk nigiri and hamachi crudo. Per Shereese's rec, smear the cured egg yolk on the hamachi and it's so good! Shereese also brought us ravioli to try with fried sage which was decadent and exploded with flavor. For entrees, I got the wagyu NY strip with bone marrow butter and a pommes puree. My boyfriend got the bison ribeye. Both were delicious and had a nice crust on the outside. Didn't have room for dessert but you only live once so make room. The banana bread banana split was to die for. If you go here for one thing, it has to be that. But you should go anyways to try the great dishes this spot has to offer.
Our little group decided to treat ourselves for a job well done. We decided to try this place, and we did not make a reservation. We walked in and told the greeter that we were hoping to get a table. She told us it was nearly impossible without a reservation. I guess she saw the disappointment on our faces, because she said she could seat us at an "hour" table. We took it. This place was upscale and a little fancy for me. . . lol. . . it was beautiful, but a little too dim for me. We all had to turn on our phone lights to read the menu. . . lol. . . I had brisket burnt ends and Brussel sprouts. The others ordered short rib agnolotti and handmade ravioli. The girls all had alcoholic drinks, and I had housemade lemonade. The lemonade was very tart; I don't believe I finished it. I think we were all surprised at the portion size. My portions were perfect and tasted fabulous. I even had some to share. I guess the girls who ordered the short rib agnolotti didn't realize it was pasta. They thought they were getting short ribs. Despite the portion sizes, we all shared. Everyone truly enjoyed their meal and sadly wanted more. I think we stayed past our hour, but no one said anything. We had a blast, and then we enjoyed a walk around the area, wishing we had gone earlier to get some shopping in. I definitely would like to come back again. I guess I forgot to snap a pick of my brisket burnt ends. . . oops
Came here for the first time for my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and was excited to try it. I had received gift cards beforehand, which is what led me to book a reservation here in the first place. Starting with the positives: the staff were friendly, and our server was helpful when it came to recommendations. The steak has good flavor and I could tell it was good quality. That being said, the experience had a few letdowns. It was a Saturday around 5pm, so I expected it to be busy, but it still took well over 20 minutes just to get our drinks and put in our food order. I also overheard the table next to us mentioning similar issues with the service. For the price, the portions didn't really match up. The steak itself was a good size, but the mashed potatoes were very runny and the portion was small. Also, I specifically asked if there was any sauce or gravy on the steak or potatoes and was told no, but when the food came out, there clearly was- which I would have ordered without. The biggest disappointment came at the end when I went to pay. I was told only one gift card could be used per transaction, which kind of defeated the whole purpose of coming here. Overall, not a terrible experience, but for the price and everything mentioned, I will not return.
Tommy Tuesdays, for the win! I was in town visiting a friend and she recommended this vibey place. It was seriously like big city vibes with the dim lighting, music and CROWD on a Tuesday. So, reservations are definitely recommended (easy peasy on OpenTable). We had the: *Brussel Sprout Salad ($18.00) - honestly I was hesitant to order this salad but it was so good - perfectly dressed, good balance of crispy fried brussel sprouts as well as raw. yum. *Mushroom Pasta ($26.00) - sooo rich and shroom forward as expected *Tomahawk Taco Tuesday ($165.00) - it's higher since we added shrimp but the usual cost is $200. This was A LOT of food. We had plenty leftover for a party of 3 gals. *Banana Bread Split - i've noticed that banana bread is VERY popular on dessert menus in Scottsdale/Phoenix/Tempe for some reason but I will say this is probably the best rendition I've had. It was as it sounds...banana bread topped with gelato and whip. Delish. *Sourdough Chocolate Cake - SOO decadent - like the Maltida cake but was still light. The brown butter miso buttercream was perfect to add a bit of salt and break up also devil's food-cake like chocolate cake! Fun cocktails too - not my favorite I've had but good complement overall.
I was really excited to try this place since it first came out but the rumor mill was that this restaurant paid for hundreds of positive reviews to get the hype it was getting. I purposely waited a year after it opened to see more of these genuine reviews flow in and it continued to be positive. I also loved the fact that it is seed oil free. Based on all of that, I was a bit disappointed with the entrees. Their appetizers were my favorite part. The meatball is pretty great and the biscuits is actually the best I've ever had. But that's all I liked. The ravioli had a huge peice of fat in one of them that it was so hard, like a peice of bone with fat. I did mention this to the waitress who was willing to replace the dish but I declined since I didn't want to wait that long for another meal. However, I was disappointed to see they didn't at least discount that meal. Also, the vinegar was a bit overpowering that it made the meal a little cheap tasting in my opinion. My date had the Branzino and personally, it was pretty basic. That turned me off enough to not really want to come back which is such a shame since there aren't many seed oil free restaurants. Don't trust a lot of the reviews. It's all "hype".
Came here for my birthday this weekend, 100/10 experience. We couldn't have asked for better service, and the most delicious food and drinks! The ambiance was super pleasant. Highly recommend to check this place out if you are celebrating anything!
I picked the spot for date night and am happy to say I picked well! It's artsy, dimly lit, and perfect for date night. Everything the staff recommended was fantastic and when I asked for a super dirty martini, they definitely delivered.
Came here for my birthday celebration and last date night in Phoenix, and overall we really enjoyed our meal! The restaurant has a moody vibe that sets a great tone for dinner. The hostess and our waitress were both very friendly and gave solid recommendations. We shared everything so we could try a few different dishes. We started with the burnt ends, which were super flavorful, and we both loved the sauce, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. For our main, we had the wagyu NY strip. It was cooked perfectly with a great crust, which is my favorite part. It was a good steak, though I am not sure I would have been able to tell it was wagyu. The bone marrow butter was good but a little on the sweet side, I think from caramelized brown sugar, and we would have preferred it more savory. The potatoes were phenomenal, we just wish there had been more of them. We also tried the mushroom pasta, which was really good with perfectly cooked noodles. We skipped dessert this time, but overall everything tasted high quality. It was just a bit pricey for the portion sizes. 4.5 out of 5 stars for me!

Stopped by The Ends for a quick dinner before my flight and had such a good experience! I tried the bolognese tagliatelle with bison and wagyu, and it was delicious. The pasta was really well made, and the bolognese was rich and flavorful without feeling too heavy or cheesy. As a tomato lover, I obviously had to try the tomatini. It was a must for me. Super refreshing, savory, and delicious. definitely one of the more unique cocktails I've tried. Not pictured was the pistachio espresso martini - I love pistachio so it was a must as well. It was smooth and had great flavor. I sat at the bar, watched the game, and had a really nice, easy dinner before heading to the airport. The staff was super attentive, funny, and sweet, which made the experience better. I walked in on a Wednesday around 5-6 PM and it wasn't busy at all, so getting a bar seat was easy. It did start filling up around 7 PM though, so making a reservation might be needed! read more

Cool little spot with a great location. I love that they don't use seed oils, and the menu is interesting. The downside is the price. Food and drinks both felt overpriced for the portion size and quality. Everything was good, but it wasn't a $300 meal. As a lifelong Anthony Bourdain fan, I couldn't help thinking he would have hated this place. He loved authentic hole-in-the-wall spots, not the glitzy facade so many Scottsdale restaurants have. Personally, I thought the decor was nice, but the thought still crossed my mind. The staff was solid. I'm giving 3 stars based on the overall value of the food and experience. read more

I don't think I have enough charm and witty banter to give this place the absolutely glowing review it deserves. It's just 11/10. From arriving and finding the gold star, to the staff, to the ambiance, to the food, to leaving feeling like you just left a loved one's house, The Ends exceeded every single expectation and then some. I cannot wait to go back. We started the evening with an espresso martini, Tommy's biscuits, crispy egg yolk nigiri, tallow fries and adventured over to the curious by nature cocktail, cacio Pepe, crispy brussel spout salad, and the bison ribeye. Our waitress Abbey was a delight, welcoming, and informative! We were there for a birthday and they made the night so memorable. Life is meant to be spent with good friends over good food and The Ends gave us that and then some. In the infamous words of the man himself "your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride" and come find something wonderful here. read more

A friend and I recently came here for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! I absolutely loved the vibe from the get-go, it felt intimate in a high energy setting with modern interior. After looking over the menu, we ordered the carpaccio to start off with. It was exquisite. Every bite was a bit different; the flavors were complex and worked well together. For our main entrees we ordered the mushroom pasta to share, the pan seared scallops, and the prime beef filet as our respective dishes. We also ordered a side of the tallow fries. My friend who isn't a big fan of mushrooms, highly enjoyed the pasta. The pasta was tender and fell off our forks easily. You would think it would've been heavy and rich, but it was surprisingly light, which we loved. I would also say the same thing about the risotto part of my scallop entree. Usually, whenever I get risotto, it would be overwhelmingly rich, but this one was not. The scallops were also tender and well-seasoned, not overly salted. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the croissant bread and butter pudding. This dessert tasted a bit citrus-y with the usual buttery croissant flavor being more subtle. Overall, we had a great dining experience at The Ends. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Parking can be hard to find but there are a few lots and garages not too far of a walking distance away. read more
I honestly wasn't sure what to expect of this restaurant but was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back everything we had was very good and not your average menu item. There was a fun twist on everything making the food delicious and so enjoyable. read more
Went to The Ends with my family and loved the restaurant from the second we walked in! No sign outside but The Ends symbol was there and when you enter you feel like you're about to enjoy a great meal in an intimate setting. Great place for friends to catch up, family to spend quality time, or to take the loved one! We started with the night with the Crispy Egg Yolk Nigiri which our server told us to eat with the Hamachi Crudo. The crispy rice, furikake and Hamachi paired perfectly together, this should be a required duo to have together. The Brisket Burnt Ends were also delicious and the dipping sauce they came with was incredible. Both handmade pastas were amazing, we especially loved the mushroom pasta, the pappardelle was perfection. Scallops were cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor to them and paired well with the mushroom risotto. Can't wait to go back! read more
I was so excited to finally visit The Ends. I was a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain and just knew the food here would be phenomenal. We originally tried to make the reservation by calling and said it was for 6 people on Saturday 5/30. We were told any parties of 6 or more would need to speak to the event planner. Odd, but okay. The event planner essentially offered a curated menu that was $150 a person or said if we went with the full menu we would agree the minimum spend was $150 per person. What lol and no thanks. We moved our reservation to another restaurant for Saturday but had someone have a change of plans so went on OpenTable to make a reservation for Sunday, since now we were only a party of 5. When we went to do that it would let us make a reservation for 6, so I'm not sure why we were told our original party of 6 needed an event planner. Anyway we were still super excited for our reservation on Sunday. The hostess was very nice and our table was ready for us. However, that's where our great service ended. Our waitress was Krissy G and it was odd from the beginning. I ordered the Crispy Egg Yolk Nigiri and she said "oh so one for everyone at the table?" What lol no, just for me, the person who ordered it. Others had ordered different appetizers so it's not like we just ordered the 2 pieces for the table and that was it. We also had an order of the fries (super disappointing btw they literally looked like a bowl of fries served at Denny's) and the meatball. The Nigiri and Meatball were phenomenal. I'd reorder both. When we placed our drink order she said they were out of iced tea so I ordered a Diet Coke. It was not disclosed soda refills were not free. I get it, this is a higher end restaurant, but if you are charging $5 per Diet Coke something should be said. For my main entree I started with the Cesar Salad and had the Short Rib Pasta. After taking out order that was the last we saw of Krissy until she came back asking if we wanted dessert. No check ins at all and we did have a couple of things that could have been easily corrected should she have bothered to stop by our table AT ALL. I would have LOVED some pepper on my salad. It's not in the table and I didn't see her anywhere to even flag her down so just ate it how it was. When our entrees were delivered we had 2 people sharing the Bison Ribeye, but they only brought one fork. Again, we sat and waited to see if we could catch her. Finally flagged down another employee who brought my friend a fork about 15 min after his entree was delivered and by this time food was cold. I will say everyone raved about their food. The quality of ingredients and preparation is evident, but the lack of service really ruined our experience. Of course when it was time to pay Krissy was very chatty and seemingly attentive which is normal when you are about to ask for a tip, but just makes it worse to the paying customer. Ambiance of the restaurant is excellent. Very chill vibe, low lights and while others say it's loud we didn't find it to be. I loved the decor and of course the huge portrait of Anthony Bourdain. I just kept thinking my whole meal how he'd never want our experience to have been like this. read more

Anthony Bourdain inspired! An absolute YES!! Great for date night or girls night dinner!! Loved the crudo, the Brussel sprout salad was yum and the star of the show was thier Red Snapper! 10/10. Such a hidden gem in the heart of Old Town read more

I loved everything about The Ends! The dim lighting, good music, great staff, and delicious food. We started with Tommy's Biscuits and Burnt Ends. Lots of good apps to choose from here! Since it was Tuesday, the Taco Board was available which can easily feed 4 people. Not captured was the delicious Beef Tallow Fries. Great place to check out when you are in the Scottsdale area! read more
Have been to The Ends twice now and overall really enjoy it. The martinis and cocktails were excellent, and the steak with the biscuits and fries was hands down my favorite. So good and definitely what I'd order again. The chicken was flavorful but pretty hard to eat, so I'd probably skip that next time. We also tried the hamachi crudo and while it was good, it didn't quite feel worth the price for what you get. One big plus for me is that they're seed oil free and cook with tallow, which I really appreciate and don't see often. Both times we went, our waitresses were super nice, helpful, and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. The vibe is a refreshing change of pace and a nice break from the loud music, bachelorette packed, overpriced spots that dominate Old Town Scottsdale. Still lively, but much more enjoyable if you actually want to talk and enjoy your meal. We'll definitely be back, especially for the drinks and steak. read more
I visited The Ends with a friend for a dinner night and I honestly cannot stop thinking about how amazing the pasta was. We tried the mushroom pasta and the bolognese, and both were outstanding. Some of the best pasta I've had in my life has been in Italy, and I can confidently say these homemade pastas at The Ends rival some authentic Italian dishes. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts salad, which was very good and a great starter. Our waitress was extremely kind, helpful, and outgoing, and she checked on us frequently from the moment we sat down until we left, which really elevated the experience. There was a small mix-up with the wine at first (we were brought the wrong one), but it was quickly corrected and I was able to get the original wine I ordered, so it didn't take away from the evening. For dessert, we shared the homemade banana bread split. My friend loved it, though it was a bit too sweet for my personal taste. Next time, I'd love to try their tiramisu. Parking was a bit difficult since the restaurant is located in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale, so plan accordingly. The ambience was overall okay. It did get a bit loud, but for a table of two we could still comfortably have a conversation on a weekend night. I could see it feeling louder with a larger group on a busy weekend night. Overall, a good experience and I will return! read more
Absolutely incredible first experience here and we can't wait to go back!!! Top 3 best dinners we've ever had out. We were pleasantly surprised they had happy hour on a Saturday throughout the restaurant and it was great prices for this level of quality. We got the biscuits, hamachi crudo, crispy egg yolk, cacio e pepe, and wagyu strip. All amazing and would order again!!! Love this restaurant and that they don't use seed oils. Can't wait to go back for our next date night read more

Top notch -- go! The Ends wasn't on my radar for a recent trip to AZ, but I'm so glad a local friend pointed me there. They're one of the few restaurants truly committed to clean ingredients and cooking with tallow instead of seed oils, which I really appreciate. Reservations: It books up quickly, so plan ahead. Service: Fantastic across the board. Food Highlights: * Hamachi crudo + crispy egg yolk nigiri: Excellent on their own, but unbelievably good layered together. * Bovine tartare: Top-tier flavor and texture; the pickled blueberries are such a smart pairing. Bone marrow on the side was great. * Roasted half chicken: Cooked perfectly. * Wagyu & bison Bolognese: Rich, hearty, and delicious. * Stir-fry snap peas: Bright and fresh. * Charred broccoli: Didn't realize it was fried and wouldn't have ordered it otherwise -- but wow. The beef broth it's served in makes it next-level. * Special veal sliders: Excellent. Dessert: Went with the Croissant Bread & Butter Pudding instead of the split -- zero regrets. Perfectly rich with a brown sugar glaze and a big portion. Wanted vanilla ice cream instead of salted caramel, but they were out. Drinks: Stuck to mezcal cocktails, an espresso martini, and an old fashioned -- all well done. Overall, incredible meal. Would absolutely return. read more

Appetizers were okay. I'm a sucker for beef carpaccio, but this is the only time I ever didn't like it. I love beef, and I love arugula, but it tasted like the arugula was sitting in lemon juice for so long before plating that the bitterness of it bled into the beef, so the beef itself was strangely bitter. Sides and entrees were fantastic except for pommes puree. Well made, but it was extremely salty and almost inedible. The scallops were well cooked and the pasta was very good and cooked perfectly tender. Some of the best pappardelle I've had. We sat at the bar and service was great. The bartender was very friendly. Ambiance inside is cute and cozy. read more
This was my second go around at The Ends and it was delish. First time was for a group of 8 for my fams birthday. Second, was out for the taco Tuesday tomahawk. And let's say, I will be coming again. The service first time was a bit slow, but second trip was grand! Our server took good care of us, but wasn't overbearing like some places. We came out for the taco deal and wow, was it worth every penny. Just look at that picture. I wish it came with guac like their instagram posts but that must be extra, I forgot to ask. The steak was the perfect portion for two. Cooked to perfection, and the sides were tasty. The vibe was a bit loud but that was mostly because the scottsdale bros behind us. I like the restaurant's atmosphere. It's a lil crazy to charge $20 a person for reservations if you don't show or cancel, especially for a group of two.. Overall, the ends is awesome. Love that it's a seed oil spot and use tallow, my faaaaav. I want to come back soon to try the other dishes as they all sound awesome. The first time I came we had a family meal so it was like samples, but definitely will come try the full sized stuff read more
The ambiance is amazing. The restaurant is so well designed and so unique. We came for a birthday dinner and the service and food didn't disappoint. Kris gave us great recommendations which we followed and weren't left disappointed. She even brought me a birthday dessert which was so kind of her!! the cake batter gelato is a must and the hamachi crudo with the crispy egg yolk rice together is heavenly!! The restaurant is seed oil free too if you are looking for that. Definitely have to come back here to try more things on the menu. read more
A place like The Ends Restaurant is always a bit tough to get into. Good spots, hot spots, are busy and sought after. So when our party of eleven arrived just before 7:00 pm on an October Sunday evening, we were excited to have a reservation for their Shared Journey Menu. But to our surprise we then discovered, as did their host staff, that our reservation was made for the right day of the week - Sunday - but with the wrong date! We were booked in their system for Monday night! Whose fault was it? Likely mostly ours - but they agreed that the day of the week and date did not match and that they should have caught the error. Now - what to do about it. We couldn't come back on Monday night and the restaurant was already very heavily booked on this night. Here's where The Ends showed their focus on their guests - they said "Give us a few minutes and let us see if we can figure something out." We told them that with the error we were fine splitting up into smaller groups and separate tables and that we'd forego the Shared Journey Menu. In about ten minutes the host came back and said "OK! We've got you all set. We've assembled a table for eleven and you'll be served the Shared Journey Menu, just as you reserved." Wow! Above and beyond what we expected. We were very happy with this outcome and we tipped the hostess well for her excellent work. We were seated in a very nice part of the restaurant, back away from many other diners at a long rectangular table with a great view of their iconic Anthony Bourdain painting. Service began immediately from Sharisse and her assistants. Immediately we knew that this was going to be a special night. Sharisse had the command and polish of a service pro and she made you feel right at home. She (and others) moved quickly, yet warmly, around the table as if she was welcoming us to her very own home. After drink orders were placed she described the Shared Journey Menu we would be served. The menu is extensive, creative, and exciting. Drinks took quite a bit longer to arrive than we expected, but given how fortunate we felt to just be seated, we were fine with that. A great night was commencing and we were enjoying ourselves. The cocktails, wine, and beer were all excellent - attractively prepared and served. 1st Course: - Tommy's Biscuits - Fermented Honey, Seasonal Jam, with Grass Fed Butter - Oysters - with their House Cocktail Sauce, Coconut Mignonette, and Key Lime Rating: Five Stars on both 2nd Course: - Hamachi Crudo - in Barrel Aged Tamari with a House Aged Chili Flake and authentic Fresh Wasabi - Crispy Egg Yolk Nigiri topped with a Soy Cured Egg Yolk and Gochujang Aioli and coated in a Crispy Ginger Rating: The Hamachi was a three-star and the Crispy Egg Yolk Nigiri was a strong five-star! One of the favorite dishes of the night based on comments from across the group. 3rd Course: - Handkerchief Bolognese in a Wagyu and Bison meat sauce - Cacio Pepe with Bucatini pasta Rating: The Bolognese was very flavorful, as was the Cacio Pepe, however both dishes were a bit off on temp by the time they made their way around the table. The cooler temp took away from the punch of the flavor and left many of us less impressed - so just three-stars on this course. 4th Course (Proteins & Veggies) - Wagyu NY Strip with Bone Marrow Butter - Dirty Veal in a Vodka Sauce topped with Mortadella Pistachio - Sweet-Tea Marinated Chicken - Miso Glazed Smoked Halibut Veggies were Stir Fry Snap Peas, Charred Broccoli, Peewee Potatoes, and Tallow Fries Rating: The two favorites were the Wagyu steak and the Dirty Veal - both five-star (and personally I'd rate the Veal as the top dish of the entire menu). Veggies were good, but that late in the dinner, not as appreciated as they should have been. The Tallow Fries were the best of the group. So summing it all up - atmosphere, service, bar, food, and overall experience - The Ends easily hits a five-star rating. This is a serious food establishment with a strong front-of-house unit backed up by clearly an outstanding back-of-house team. This is seriously great food - creative, unique, with bold yet balanced flavor profiles and a well curated arrangement in the Shared Journey Menu. If you go - especially with friends - consider the Shared Journey. It makes for a marvelous evening of dining. Just pay attention to your reservation details....you don't want to miss this place! read more

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the staff are very attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back again! read more
The biscuits were exceptional here and may have been my favorite of the whole meal. The wagyu steak was good, but I would have expected it to be more tender especially for the price. The butter on the side really made the dish. The mushroom pasta was also very delicious. The pasta was tender and the mushrooms were very flavorful. The dessert was a little disappointing. The banana bread split was cold. I would have expected the cake portion to be warm with a balance from the ice cream on top. The presentation with the sparkler was fun though. I am not sure if I would run back here, but I enjoyed it. read more

I love a restaurant that is a bit discreet. No big sign out front and you're not sure if you're even in the right place. Welcome to The Ends. The vibe inside is energetic and classy. Great music, great decor and awesome service. The food is thoughtfully prepared and only with the best of ingredients. The drink menu is creative as well, no matter what you're looking for...There's something for everyone! read more
Very solid meal! Nothing life changing but highly recommend getting a pasta and the Brussel sprout salad. Dare I say the salad was our favorite bite! Bison ribeye was good - somewhat lacking flavor. Hamachi also a great appetizer. Liked the ambiance - nice but upbeat inside. Tables are really close together which isn't totally ideal. Solid service as well! Always appreciate no seed oils as well. read more
This is a great spot! I love the espresso martinis and cocktails here. Service has been good both times I've been here as well. I do like the food, I just feel like the portion sizes are a little small for the price. Maybe it's meant to share? No idea. Overall a good experience and I will be returning :) I want to try more! read more
Came by on a Sunday evening right at the tail end of happy hour. Had reservations, which was good because the place was rather lively with only a few tables left. Very nicely adorned with modern decor and a cool art piece of Anthony Bourdain (whom inspired this restaurant). Our awesome waitress (Anissa) promptly took our order and gave great recommendations. Happy hour portions were perfect for the two of us. We really enjoyed the oysters, biscuits, and cacio pepe. Brussel sprout salad was decent, but I enjoyed the beets & burrata salad more. Our main was the Wagyu NY Strip which was cooked perfectly and was served with bone marrow butter and potato mash. The marrow butter greatly accentuated the steak and the mash had a different taste than expected (in a good way). Overall, great service, great food, and an elevated ambiance made for a great date night. Definitely a recommend place! read more

Ask the Community - The Ends Restaurant
Are there dishes that are vegan friendly? Just worried about the food being cooked in tallow
Is there a dress code? Anything NOT allowed? (shorts, hat, cap, tshirt, jeans, etc.)
It's a trendier venue so I would suggest no caps and the nicer selection of denim and tshirts if that's what you're opting for!
