    Not the best Bloody Mary I have ever had by a long shot. The rubbery shrimp didn't help.
    Daniel B.

    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.

    Hummus with pita and pickled veggies makes
    Marybeth S.

    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

    golden beet salad

    vibe of the restaurant was super classy and nice, definitely a quality dinner. food was awesome - they bring complimentary bread to the table which was so delish. golden beet salad was good. side of fries was MASSIVE so definitely be prepared to share. server was also super attentive!!

    Flank steak

    Food was amazing and the staff was attentive. First time dining at the restaurant and if we are ever back in the area this will be our first stop for dinner. Highly recommend.

    Truffle Polenta Fries

    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!

    We stopped in for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere.

    Old Fashion w/orange & cherry in circular ice cube.

    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. If I'm back in Hyannis in the future, I'll be back at The West End!

    Chipotle braised short ribs with street corn (substituted truffle tots for the fries)
    Elena M.

    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!

    Salmon
    Yash B.

    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!

    Can't wait to visit Hyannis n have a wonderful culinary experience, when is the best time to visit The West End?

    Now that Labor Day is behind us, anytime they are open is good. Last Saturday night at 7 pm the parking lot was only 1/3rd full.

The location is stunning, especially as the sun sets over the water. Just don't show up without a reservation unless you're in the mood for a wait. We were quoted an hour... it turned into two. Not ideal with two kids under four, but we made it work thanks to a small beach 10 minutes away and a drink from the bar to take the edge off. Valet parking is your only option and it's a bit chaotic--just let the pros do their thing and be sure to have a tip ready. Once you're seated (inside, out on the patio, or in the covered sunroom), the ambiance is relaxed but lively, and the place is huge with no shortage of staff buzzing around. Food? Totally worth the hype. We started with fresh oysters and complimentary bread with butter--off to a great start. I ordered the scallop risotto, and I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, rich, and layered with bacon, lobster, corn, and seared scallops cooked to perfection. Half our table ended up ordering so there was no disappointment once the first plate made its debut. The kids' pizza also deserves a shoutout--fluffy, golden crust that almost made me abandon my risotto and ask for a bite. The wine list was solid, cocktails looked great, and my boyfriend gave the beer selection a shrug. Our server wasn't the friendliest and water refills were a game of "guess when she'll remember," but honestly, it didn't overshadow the meal. Final word: amazing food, a beautiful waterfront view, and the kind of bustling Cape atmosphere you want on vacation. Just make a reservation, tip your valet, and order the risotto. Trust me.

We hit lunch at the right time. We ate a party of 5, traveling through Cape Cod to Martha's. We hungry. For Apps we got onion rings and I got butternut squash soup. Onion rings were a hit, soup, not so much, too sweet. For entrees, there are fish tacos, salmon with veggies, seafood bake, a lamb gyro and seafood platter. Food is good at a good price. The waiter let us know, it's the end of season and they will be packing it all up for the winter! Whew! Y'all it's cold! But thanks for good food and service!
