    Did not like giving my PIN number to process my payment, it exposes me financially.

    This was our first visit and we were not disappointed - food was good but not exceptional - we would go back if ever back in that area ...

    Do NOT get the meatloaf. Just disgusting. Crab salad isn’t consistent. A lot of crab one time half as much the next. One person has twice as much as the other.

    Waited way too long to be asked if we’d like to order drinks and then even longer for them to be served. 2 meals were great. The crab ravioli was served lukewarm. It was reheated and very tough. Hard to cut and was chewy. Very disappointing with out of town guestSl

    It’s been a few years since I ate at West End. I was not disappointed! Mellow, calming, sunset views of the lagoon accompanied fine wine and a relaxing dinner. Full restaurant on a Monday night, but very relaxed and cozy too. Check out half price wine on Mondays! Staff is helpful and friendly! Loved the ambiance!
