I came here tonight for the first time with a friend - I'm a new mom and it was nice to get out of the house. The ambiance was also very nice, with Christmas decorations up. The parking situation is a little weird, the lot is basically to the left of the restaurant, and if you try to park in the plaza to the right of it, there are signs up saying they will tow you. My friend and I started out with the baked feta, which was delicious. I don't really like olives so I asked for those on the side. It came with tomatoes on top and naan bread for dipping. For our entrees, I got the chicken limone - chicken piccata is one of my favorite dishes and this is very similar. It's $29 which I thought was a bit expensive but you do get a gigantic portion, I brought half of it home. My friend got what she thought was a salad but it was more of like a Mediterranean small chicken dish, and she got a side of the beef tallow fries, which we both thought were expensive at $7, but it was very tasty and she said it was worth it. Everything on the dessert menu looked great but we ended up splitting the campfire funnel fries, and it came out in the shape of a campfire! Very nice presentation. Waitservice was a bit slow, we had a separate person coming to refill our water and overall that was consistent until the end though. That being said, the food and the atmosphere was great so I would return another time.
Great brunch menu. Super drinks. Great service. Tried the Wagu beef hash and the chicken and waffles,both tasted fantastic. Good coffee with lots of refills. Solid experience
I came here with my girlfriend and we had an lovely time. the lights were cool and cocktail bar romantic, the crowd was chill. Natalia i believe my server's name was, was beautiful and very sweet. the type of server who deserves more than a 20% tip; because my signature drink didn't taste right and she was so sweet to have the bar remake it. (i never send them back i felt terrible). we had chefs special, which was the french dip, which had way too much white horseradish sauce on it, like oozing too much hahahah, kinda lacked in flavor. but we also had the feta honey dip, which was fantastic. i would come here again for sure, i want to try lots of things on this menu! :)
Nicely decorated and had live music when we went which is always a plus. No issues with service, they were on tops of things. However I think it was pricey for what you get. The calamari had a lot more fried peppers than actual calamari. The short rib sandwich was alright but nothing spectacular. I will say the tuna nachos were the best of the 3.
I really enjoyed the happy hour here. The Steak tips are absolutely delicious and were cooked perfectly. The drinks were pretty good as well. I really like the Nectar of the Gods and the Mango Sunset. We sat at the bar, but the service was good while we were there. The restaurant is a bit small, but very cute and cozy. The only downside really was the parking situation.
The ambiance is lovely! Very beautiful, cozy and not too loud, so you can have a pleasant conversation. The food was not great. My grilled chicken tasted burned and dry. The salad portion was on the small size for $19. My gf ordered a soup that looked like a pasta puree, nothing like a soup. She couldn't even finish it. My drink was delicious but too sweet for my taste. All beautifully presented but cooks need more training. Also chicken tasted like gas fumes. I would come again just for drinks.
First time here, was celebrating my girlfriend's birthday party of 12. We did Saturday brunch. Ambiance was nice our server was super nice, the food prep was a bit slow. Drinks were great, bloody mary was delicious with a nice garnishment and aperol spritz was done right . Food was flavorful and plenty! Avocado toast had a nice twist with chopped fresh cucumbers and chickpeas. Will have to come back to try dinner menu
What can I say the food the service and the ambiance were all excellent. I'll definitely be coming back. Looking forward to trying all the pasta dishes here. The only downside was you're not able to order off the entree menu until after 4 pm prior to that only appetizers available which is pretty inconvenient if you don't know that ahead of time.
Went on a Friday night. A reservation (Open Table) is a must. They had a great and diverse playlist going when we first arrived. Then, a vocalist & saxophone player. We didn't have drinks, so I can't speak to that. However, the short rib grilled cheese is fantastic!!!!! I love the au jus, though I would have liked that warm. Mr friend had the chicken limone (huge chicken breast). He loved that! Service was friendly.
We sat at the bar the drinks were delicious and the service was good. It had a very nice atmosphere with the indoor/outdoor space.
A very nice casual dining spot that does a great job of melding craft cocktails with a tasty bistro style menu. For our first dining experience here we ended up ordering the Truffle flat bread, beef sliders and Falafel burger and Boubon Smash cocktails. The truffle flatbread had brie cheese, onion, jam, mushroom, arugula and truffle oil that formed a wonderful combination that was oh so tasty and our favorite of what we ate. The slider had three small burgers made from Snake River Farms beef (well known beef distributor that is nationally recognized) that was well cooked and very tasty where the beef is cooked to a medium doneness (if Well cooked is desired , needs to be ordered that way). Lastly The falafel burger was great as well according to my wife. The Bourbon Smash cocktail had a unique spin to what I usually make where it had Blueberry and lemons as part of its components that gave it a unique flavor profile. The cocktail though well made, was a tad sweet for my tastes and could have used a tad more mint in my opinion. Relative to facility, it is modern, clean with a comfy vibe with lowered lighting adding a touch of class to the business. Defeninatly a good spot for a romantic/date night meal. Staff was super friendly where they operate on a slower pace giving you more time to enjoy the experience which I can see being a plus or a minus depending on if you are in a rush or just want to relax and enjoy the experience. Overall a very nice business that hits on all cylinders where we will be returning in the near future. Definately a place to consider if you are in the area and if you like flat bread pizza's you absolutely have to try the truffle flatbread here. You will not be disappointed!
Excellent! I tried this spot for dinner and was impressed. Service was great, and the food was delicious. I ordered the salmon and not only is the portion generous but it was cooked to perfection. I also like the space is inside, modern and clean. They even serve brunch on the weekends. I will be back!
My cousin and I visited for the first time on a Saturday evening. We couldn't get a reservation but decided to sit at the bar. They serve the full menu and there's no wait if a seat is available. We ordered a bunch of apps to try...all were delicious! The beef tips were my favorite, I'd order that as an entree. The Arancini were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Balanced flavor and yum. The Brussel sprouts were surprisingly tasty. They were crispy and had a nice crunch with the bacon mixed in. We also ordered the smash burger with fries to try, which was overboard. It was also so good, but after one bite, I had to box it up. To drink it down, I got the Mango Sunset. It's a dangerous drink because you can't taste the alcohol it's so good, but I definitely felt it as a lightweight. I would love to order that all the time. It's refreshing, especially on a cold fall evening. The restaurant is calm and welcoming, yet lively and romantic. It was an overall wonderful dinner. I'll be back soon for sure, and highly recommend you visit too!

This is my second time visiting the West End establishment. I would say that parking is limited, even though there is a parking lot they have and designated spots for this restaurant, that's kind of strange but be aware. Later in the evening when they do offer valet. Upon entry, they're a wonderful hose that kept everything moving smoothly. This sudden is very picturesque and modern. Perfect for multiple occasions, date nights branch, going out with the girls, etc. My partner and I sat at the bar and had great service with Adam. Had made great drinks had good recommendations for food. we had the bang bang shrimp, Greek salad with chicken and the pink dressing was good not over powering. And then the rib tips *2. We ended with some funnel cake fries- these were interesting tasted like funnel cake, I would order again and ask for that chocolate drizzle to be on the side. I'll be back in the future! read more

Really enjoyed our visit. Great menu with lots of options and a good drink selection. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, the chicken sandwich was a huge portion, and the truffle fries were tasty. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Plenty of free parking and no wait when we went. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going later in the evening. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 read more
Truly enjoyed the food and vibes here! Live music on a Friday evening (6pm rez) and fantastic app (tuna with ponzu & slaw is enough for three ppl- well worth the price) and the chopped salad add faroe island salmon: fantastic! Great service too read more

Service was great. Drinks were fantastic. Salad could use some attention. I ordered the Cesar salad with chicken. It was $23. Salad was small size at best and chicken was thin and dry. Smash burger was amazing but probably should include fries for the price. My "happy hour" Paloma was $21. Servers are always great but the math on the automated tip was wrong. It calculated 20% at a 25% tip. We like the vibe of this place, but it's starting to feel like a cash grab! read more

We were looking for a place that was open late on a weeknight, and West End was open until 1:00a.m., so we decided to check it out. First of all, it was SO loud! We were sitting at a small table for 2 and had to shout to talk to each other. We also realized that we were not the proper demographic for this restaurant; we could easily have been the parents -- or perhaps grandparents -- of most of the clientele and waitstaff. On to the food. There were not a lot of choices. I had a chicken sandwich that came with shoestring fries. My sister had a flatbread. My sandwich was ok for me, but by any other standards, it was very dry. (I'm just odd that I don't mind dry chicken.) My sister got the flatbread with arugula. It had too much arugula for her, but all of the other flatbreads were too spicy. And, my fries were spicy as well. It seemed that the staff was new; they were walking around but not engaging with customers at all. Our server saw that we were done but he walked by us several times before we could ask him for the bill. I suppose if you're young and like loud atmospheres, this was fine. But it was not our cup of tea. read more

The brussel sprouts appetizer with bacon was the best I've ever tasted and the after-dinner peanut butter latte (with added pb whiskey) was excellent. Forgive the blurry photo - it was beautiful. The music was too loud but all the younger patrons probably do not mind. read more

This restaurant has its own parking, and I believe it also offers valet. We went in a large group of approximately 20 people, and the service was still very good. We had multiple people waiting on us. The appetizers were really good and the desserts were really good. The entrée I had which was the barrio pasta which is OK I probably wouldn't get it again. I do believe that everyone was happy that got the fillet. Would definitely return again given the opportunity. read more

Tucked into a small strip mall with a covered Patio Dining area the Ambiance was inviting. We ordered the Sirloin Tips which were phenomenal! I would return just for this! I enjoyed the Truffle, Brie, & Jam Flatbread; It was tasty and presented nicely on a cutting board. My husband totally enjoyed The Patty Melt Waygu Beef Sandwich on Toasted Sourdough Bread. The Drinks are top notch too! I added an Expresso Tito Martini with dinner/ delicious .Our Server Night Ni was a delight, , knowledgeable and attentive! I certainly can understand why the West End is a Local !!favorite read more

Update: The chef here has designed a delicious menu. My last meal was a lemon chicken dish (forgot the name) but it was Delicious! Even the fries were so tasty and hot! The drinks were good both times I visited. I had Lemon Drops! I want to say that the bar staff were so cool and welcoming. They were patient and were willing to custom out anything. The only thing was management, you need to figure out the reservation and walk-in thing. I brought them at least $400 in meals that night I was there, but they almost lost our business. When I first came in they had all the tables marked for reservations, so we sat at the bar. Two-hours later those tables were still there. I have no doubt it is hard to be sure if your reservations are coming in, just want them to do that better. Overall, I LOVE the vibe, it's a cozy beautiful place. The food is crazy good and its a welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more
My wife and I stopped in for an early dinner on Saturday night. We had drinks and appetizers. We had the steak tips, flat bread, and brussels. Everything was good. I wouldn't say any dish had the wow factor where I would come back specifically for that dish, but everything was good. My wife had a Cosmo, which was quite good and strong. I had a beer. The drink menu features craft cocktails and wine. Not a craft beer place. I liked the young and hip atmosphere. The atmosphere is not family or elder. A welcome addition in West Bloomfield. The center of the dining room is a bar. There were couples and people already starting to gather at the bar. The music was pop hits and was on the louder side, which went with the overall look. Our server was friendly. There were a lot of wait staff gearing up for the night, but the host had trouble "finding" us a table in the mostly empty restaurant He implied we needed reservations. read more
Good food, good service, and appealing ambiance combine to make West End Kitchen and Bar a great spot to eat. Between the three of us, we had the rigatoni, the filet, and the Caesar salad along with two cocktails and a mocktail. Everything was to our liking. Oh, and we ordered the steak with fries, and the fries were great! read more

Love this spot! We go quite often and it's always delicious! The burger and fries are my favorite! They also have great appetizers, and craft cocktails! I love having this gem of a restaurant so close to home! It's very pretty inside and "open-air" in the warmer months. Service is great! read more
