Wow what a restaurant. I've heard of this place and finally went. I ordered a moscal mule from Mike the bartender. It was perfect. I ordered a shrimp cocktail, very fresh and cooked perfectly. Then I had the 6 Barrel Cut 8oz Filet Mignon mashed potatoes, grilled marinated vegetables, demi glaze. You will not be disappointed. Spotless atmosphere. Great service. Greeted graciously. You definitely need to go. Classy place. Prices very reasonable. Service was top notch! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Went there for dinner on high recommendations and reviews that I read. I thought the menu was very limited considering being on Cape Cod. They were four of us. Two people ordered the tuna which was acceptable. One of the other people ordered the chicken melinaze , which was dry and lacking sauce and almost un edible. I ordered a Caesar salad with fresh anchovies and shrimp. The salad was overdressed, dripping and dressing. The lettuce was wilting and brown and a total disappointment on a positive note. I must say the shrimp were good. Service was decent, but the food was unacceptable. I'll have to think about giving them another try but based on my first impressions, it was a big mess On a positive note, the owner of the restaurant called me after this review and apologized that my experience was less than expected. I truly appreciate the call and will give this restaurant another try and share my findings. It's impressive to see that the owners review these reviews and really want to know what they can do to improve.. I will keep you updated read more

I had my rehearsal dinner here and it was AMAZING. Food was great, drinks were even better, and the place is lovely. Carolyn made the whole process so easy and did a wonderful job setting up my decor. And the staff were exceptional, especially the bartender (Stephanie, I think?). 10/10 would recommend for any sort of event. read more

Fantastic food and service this evening. Our family of five enjoyed oysters and an amazing tuna crudo to start. We also ordered the flat iron steak, duck breast, oriechiette with sausage and veal Marsala. All were lovely, perfectly seasoned and beautifully plated. The duck was out of this world. read more

We could not have had a better dinner at The West End! The ambiance is A+, immediately setting the scene for great vibes. The food was incredible. As a large party of 11, we got to order many appetizers and mains and everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the seafood tower, tuna crudo, and crispy brussel sprouts. The wine list is exceptional and features interesting, rare finds - highly recommend! And finally, the service was exceptional. The owners, Jen and Blane, are active and attentive in ensuring a positive experience for all. We cannot wait for our next trip to The West End! Highly recommend! read more

Not sure what people are talking about, but here is my take. We walked in to the bar and the aesthetic and decor were a vibe! My martini was perfect! Sat for dinner and highly recommend fish spread, meatballs & calamari for apps, then the seared tuna entree! Don't pay attention to the reviews, go here.. read more

Welcome Summer! Excellent Cocktails and Appetizers! Daniel our server was very informative and attentive. Thank you to the bartender for making a lovely watermelon martini that wasn't on the menu! Can't wait to return read more

This place was so aesthetically pleasing and such a vibe. We had the calamari to start and it was okay. I feel like it was missing something from the flavors. For a main, I got their burger which was good - their fries were EXCELLENT! For dessert I got the chocolate gelato which was good. I feel like overall this was a fine place for dinner but nothing to write home about. read more

Came in with a group on a Saturday night. Seated promptly, order was in quick, and then we waited. On the order, we had two people that wanted salad with chicken. That is not an option. Have to order their chicken entree and sub the sides for salad. Ends up being about $42! Saw many dishes eventually. Kids food could have come out right away, but they insisted on plating everyone together. Waited about 90 minutes for food. Things like fries were warm but entrees broadly all cold. Had the orecchiette pasta. Could have been good but was cold. Burger next to me cold. Tried someone's chicken parm and it was bland and mediocre. Two of our party got the wrong food. Service was below average and not well paced. Several empty tables on a Saturday and no wait when we left so hard to think the kitchen was overwhelmed. Have been to this spot twice before and was average. Too many other places around to want to go back. Really should be 2.5 stars read more

After a VERY long day (that included a car accident and 2+hr drive... with a 5 year old in tow) we were desperate for good dinner and chance to relax. The place was nice, almost where we weren't sure if there was a dress code (there isn't). The front-end woman who greeted us was very friendly when we walked in. Didn't feel judged by our casual attire. We were vastly under dressed, but didn't feel judged. We splurged and each ordered the 8oz. filet. Our son got the cheeseburger. We were all very happy with our choices. The steak was delicious (although a tad under medium, it was so tender it was not worth the mention) The drinks also delicious (I got the French 25 and husband a vodka martini). The only downfalls were not having much for kids. The menu was shallow, I couldn't get grilled chicken only breaded and no apple juice or milk. We made do with the cheeseburger and water, but not many toddlers drink lemonade or cranberry juice. Totally our option of course. But finding healthy meals for kids is so hard. Grilled chicken with a veg or potato would be lovely. ... And our server didn't seem to have much of a personality. It was very transactional... I tried to be lighthearted and funny and got no reply back. Even getting a smile seemed like a challenge. I'd definitely come back (now that our expectations have been set). And would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

We went here with some friends for a lovely brunch on a sunny Sunday morning. We had excellent service and mediocre food. We shared a couple of appetizers; Wild Mushroom Flatbread and Calamari Fritti. The flatbread was quite nice but the calamari were quite rubbery and the marinara sauce served with it was boring. The rubbery calamari paired nicely with the overcooked shrimp hanging off my forgettable Bloody Mary. On to the entrées.. Hubby had Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast which was way overcooked, while I ordered a favorite, Eggs Benedict made with a toasted everything bagel, smoked salmon, and dilled hollandaise sauce. This was ok but the dried dill and dried onions were off-putting. The fried potatoes accompanied by house made ketchup were delicious. A swing and a miss as far as Brunch is concerned at this place that day. read more

Nice ambiance and good food and service. The perfect place to eat before a show at the Melody Tent.

I would give it 10 stars if I could, on the basis of the ambiance, the owner, the manager, the bar and THE FOOD! Our server was a bit on the "blandish" side, particularly with a restaurant that charges and serves Boston Warf quality food and beverages. She wasn't bad, just eh. But the FOOD. OMG THE FOOD. Pricy. Not for faint of wallet. Drinks are exquisitely prepared, and the bar sparkles with the glitter of lights, decor, bottles and the bartending staff. It is definitely a spot to sip, linger and hang out with your drinking buddy. The food is "italian inspired" - not classic Italian. Not Calitalian. Not Italoamericanotalian... it's classic dishes restated in a very elegant and simple sophisticated way. The tuna tartare with house made potato chips was MEMORABLE as was the beef carpaccio. We ordered the veal marsala which was delectable (3 mini pieces but hey, I won't complain) came with what I consider their star on a plate - a creamy and craveable polenta made with mascarpone... silky, smooth, delicately flavorful - masterfully made. Seriously, hub and I were elated to finally arrive here. Another one of my local favorites for special date night, special celebrations or simply because my polenta craving needs to be satisfied! What a GEM! read more

Went for the very first time last August and still reminisce about it. Such a luscious interior. Our cocktails were perfectly constructed and our food was so memorable. We did appetizers as it was late but the bluefish page and hummus pared with pickled veggies makes me salivate even now. One of my first stops next time I am in Hyannis. Love it read more

The West End is one of my new favorite spots on the Cape. As someone who grew up here, I pride myself on knowing all of the best spots, however I have been sleeping on this one for far too long. We came as a bridal party on Sunday for Jazz Brunch and it was the perfect experience. Josh (I think) was a fantastic server and made us all feel like friends rather than customers. He gave great suggestions and made our whole meal fun. Drinks; great. I got their espresso martini which I am officially voting one of the best on Cape. The Bloody Mary was also pretty good, but that has more to do with the beautiful shrimp and bacon. Food; delish. Get the steak tartare. Incredible. The polenta fries were a little bland, but unique and we were glad we tried them. Wouldn't order them next time though. Burger was great. I got the Pork Milanese which was good, but also needed salt or extra sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed the creamed spinach on the dish! Even with the minuscule things that I could nitpick- this was a fantastic experience and I would do it all over again. Can't wait to come back on our next Cape trip! Specifically to try their dinner menu! read more

Such a great find! Everything about this restaurant was fabulous.

From the Old Fashion to start, to the arugula salad with roasted pines nuts, preserved lemons, and shaved parm - I'm hungry for that salad right now! For my entree, a delicious lite pasta dish with ground sausage and broccolini, perfectly seasoned. Server was kind & attentive. Sat in the bar area, which was perfect ambiance for this solo diner.

We were truly impressed by this place. We had oysters and the focaccia bread for starters. Had the duck and skirt steak for main courses. And the lava cake for dessert. OMG. Each course and dish was cooked to perfection and was delicious. And the drinks were amazing. The restaurant itself was beautiful and had a homey atmosphere to it. And, finally, the service. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our server was. She was attentive and charming, and made sure we were always happy with with everything. A definite must go. read more

Another FABULOUS meal at The West End! The new menu has lots of interesting options to entice any palette. There was such a wide array of options including seafood, steaks and even vegan choices. The cocktails are always to die for and the restaurant has a great vibe. We started with the BLT deviled eggs (Horseradish Yolk, Roma Tomato, Candied Bacon, Micro Arugula). The horseradish yolk and candied bacon were truly incredible, it was like a party in my mouth! It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. A very fun spin on a traditional deviled egg. For our entrees, we had the chipotle braised short rib and the wagyu burger. The braised short rib came on a bed of Street Corn with Charred Shishito Peppers and Shoestring Fries. This was possibly the BEST SHORT RIB I have ever eaten! The meat was so perfectly tender that I didn't even need to use a knife. I substituted the fries with the truffle tots bc they are so delicious but next time I'll try it with the fries how the chef intended the dish to be served. The wagyu burger was also amazing. It had Candied Bacon, Crystalized Cheddar and House Special Sauce and was served between a deliciously sweet Pretzel Bun. The burger came with Cajun Shoestring Fries which were perfectly crispy. Again, the balance of flavors was just beyond. It was cooked to a true medium with a bit of pink in the middle. The service is always out of the park and the ambience even better. We sat at the bar and the bartenders (Chris & Peter) were so attentive and familiar with the menu. They had helpful recommendations and answers to my many questions. We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the new menu items. If you want a killer meal and great atmosphere, go check out The West End! read more

Great spot for brunch, with good music and ambiance. We enjoyed the Lobster and Avocado Benedict, the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Compote, and Maple Sausage Links.

This is my third time at The West End and my first time going in season. I think about this place. There is a warm and sophisticated mood in the restaurant and the food is always fresh and tasty. The salmon is always a hit, we paired it with a beet salad which hit the spot as well ass The Bees Knees and some Espresso Martinis. The employees are kind and it's the perfect spot for date night or a dinner with family after the beach! read more

I am always hoping for this restaurant to be better than it is as it is so close to my home. The food is just not very interesting and lacks flavor. The main courses ($28-60) come with absolutely nothing else on the plate. Do you really need to spend $12 to get mashed potatoes with your Chicken under a brick($34)??? The Caesar salad was totally bland and very small. In summary it was a very expensive and bland meal that didn't provide any motivation for a return visit. read more

This place has gone downhill. I went to Easter Sunday Buffet Brunch here. I have been here before and the food is good and we had a nice sunny spot. Our server was attentive, and was really pleasant. My problems with the place were I expected more for $75.00 a person. No soup, no leg of lamb, no chocolate mousse, no shrimp cocktail unless you wanted to order it from the raw bar for extra. Secondly, they added a 20 percent gratuity to our check? It was 3 of us and we always tip the server well. We were left wondering if we were supposed to tip her normally or not at all now. My third problem was the dessert table. They put it on the end of the bar. There were almost no offerings. Fruit salad, 2 Banana bread like loaves sliced up, small pastries, strawberry vanilla shortcake in a shot glass and apple pie and cherry pie. Last time I came to brunch here there was a whole table of desserts, not today. read more

Located at the very end of Main St, Hyannis at the rear of the roundabout is The West End restaurant. Our first night on Cape Cod and our experience at this restaurant was great. This is a family run business and the staff were super accommodating (allowing us to dine earlier than our reservation time) It's a beautiful space in here, open airy, with big windows but it is also intimate if that makes sense. We couldn't decide on what to order because the menu was so enticing so we went for a bunch of appetizers. It was the perfect thing to do. We got to sample a lot of different t dishes and they were all outstanding. We got a beautiful bottle of wine also. It's expensive but as we discovered every single place on Cape Cod is expensive so it is what it is. We got to vacation here and enjoy the beautiful people, the freshest of seafood and that's all that matters. Well done. West End it truly was a great start to our vacation. read more

This restaurant is right next to the Cape Cod Melody Tent which is super convenient. The thing that impressed us most about this place was the service. It is super professional. Food was excellent.

We had a wonderful dinner last night at The West End. The Owner - Blaine showed us to a beautiful banquet/booth for our party of 6 in a lovely dining room atmosphere.

Everyone was happy with their meals. Cannot recommend more highly a night at the West End, read more

We visited the West End for a pre symphony meal. Arrived at 5:40 which should have been plenty of time to make the 7:30 pm start. Initial service was wonderful And our waiter Josh, was very engaging and gave us recommendations. We started with the calamari. When it arrived it was over breaded and greasy. The side dips were bland. We couldn't eat it. My main was the salmon which was overcooked and burned. The eggplant was also fried, bland and uninspired. For a $34 entree the bare minimum they should be prepared well and tasty. The entree service took over an hour. We had to ask for them to find our entrees, ask for the table to be cleared, ask for the check. We did mention we had a 7:30 start. By the time we left, we had 5 minutes to make the show which we missed the start therefore we could not be seated until intermission. Very disappointed in this experience. I may try it again to give them another chance though. The atmosphere is very nice and I feel like they can do better. read more
