Best Authentic Restaurants in West End

The food was so good but the experience was disappointing. This was probably my third or fourth visit to P&N and I am never disappointed with the quality and flavors of the food! This time we were a bit disappointed with the service: -We ordered the "catedral" mistakenly thinking it was a pitcher and referred to it as a pitcher. When the drink came out we were surprised it was not a pitcher and then wondered why the server did not clarify that our order of the "pitcher of pisco, the catedral" was in fact not a pitcher but just a large glass -1 out of the 2 entrees was served when we were still half way through the apps so our two-top table was pretty packed between the two plates of appetizers, the bottle of water, the glasses of water, our cocktails and now the entree -Why not wait until the appetizers are finished to serve the entree? And why serve one entree out of the two and not serve the entrees together? -My steak was cold. The pasta was warm but my steak was straight up cold -Server eventually was a bit MIA. No water refills. No offer for a dessert menu. We had to waive our server down multiple times to either ask for something, to order something else or to have plates cleared from the table. The most frustrating aspect of the visit had to do with OpenTable rewards. P&N is listed as a restaurant that accepts OpenTable rewards. The reservation was actually even made through the OpenTable reward page and the redeemed reward can only be used at the restaurant where the reservation is made. It was then disappointing to hear that P&N would not be accepting my reward. I tried to have a conversation with the manager but she refused to honor the reward and ultimately said "theres nothing else I can do." I had to really push for the restaurant to provide a gesture for the reward issue. I will say that despite the disappointing service every one was extremely nice and professional. I just wish the experience had gone better and matched the excellence of the food.

60 Vines was excellent! This was our first visit, and I definitely recommend it. Our waiter was knowledgeable and his recommendations were perfect: from the wine selections to the food pairings. The wine flight is the way to go as there are too many nice wines to choose from. We only had the shareable plates but they were all outstanding: the bacon-wrapped dates (if you think you don’t like dates, try this!); the mussels; the barratta ; and the blistered peppers. I can only imagine what the mains are like if the small plates are this good.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

I coordinated a birthday dinner for my close friend and it was amazing . Amazing food , the service was great, and the restaurant accommodated our party of 10. Thanks again. We had a great time.

Staff was friendly. Food is delicious but overpriced I think. Rice in rolls was sticky and a bit dry. My friend liked the pork ramen. Overall I had a good experience
