    Didn’t love the tiny chopped chicken salad. It was kind of dry but the waitress was great and I genuinely like this place for lunch

    The food and service were both good. My only complaint is that we had a 7:15 reservation and were not seated until 7:50. I understand that it’s virtually impossible to know how long people will linger but the restaurant was packed, with many others waiting for their tables. I only go to restaurants that take reservations because I detest standing around waiting to be seated. I would hope that this was an isolated incident.

    We always enjoy the West End Cafe: the food and service are very good and consistent. This time there were two wrinkles: first, the noise level was very high. The restaurant was very crowded, not surprising since it was part of a Restaurant Week night. But the acoustics here really need to be improved. The second issue dealt with a health request I made. I cannot have sugar, and since there were only very sweet desserts on the Restaurant Week menu, I asked for some fresh fruit. They told me they had none. Two problems there - of course they had fruit but didn't want to give it to me in the Restaurant Week menu, and second - there should be a fruit or other less sweet option on the Restaurant Week dessert menu. Many people need to avoid excessively sugary desserts. We had a lovely dinner with good friends, but unfortunately we had these two issues.
