Inital apperances are everything and this place ticked all the boxes right away. A very cozy environment surrounded by hard working and friendly employees. Food itself was really good for cost, overall pleasantly surprised by the great service for the price of the establishment.

The menu, the location, the excellent service, the cool vibe is felt as soon as you walk in the place. If it's too busy, cross the street to the Ripple. Same owners, a little more casual but also good!!

Another great meal at East End! Every dish was thoroughly enjoyed and even though they were extremely busy, they were well staffed and service was attentive. It's so nice to see a team of people working together to ensure a quality experience. It does get loud, but we still were able to converse without issue.

Sophia Grace was a great server and help on decisions! Food was excellent too. Truffle fries were great. ?

Great food and solid service. Ordered the filet. Good and well prepared (med rare), but much thinner than I’d normally expect a filet to be. Probably would go for the salmon or the gnocchi next time based on what others in our group ordered. Both looked excellent, and the fries were solid. Drinks were awesome too! Try the “magical” gin collins!!!

This is one of my favorite spots in Lafayette. Our daughter will be graduating in May and I am sad I will not have a reason to return! The menu is always being updated and the service is top notch. It can be loud at times which is not great if you are looking for a quiet dinner. We don't mind though!

The food and drinks are excellent here. The only issue my husband and I had is that we had made a reservation for 6pm and still waited the normal amount of time for a table (30 minutes). We showed up around 5:55pm and were not sat until almost 6:30. One would assume if they make a reservation that they wouldn’t have to wait that long for a table.

Would not go back to this place. Only 1/6 of my party actually enjoyed their meal. Unlike most places, the garlic fries are a severe downgrade from regular fries.

I worked here and if your seeing this don't work here or eat here. They use moldy potatoes to cook with, they don't clean enough. The management is like a circus. The owner just yells at his employees and really doesn't care. Most of the staff do not care.

The food was amazing! I got the shrimp and grits. I have celiac disease and there were LOTS of choices. The staff was really nice and super knowledgeable, which is few and far between, especially in Lafayette, IN.

My wife and I had the truffle fries as an appetizer. They were okay, a little too heavy on the truffle oil and salt for our taste. I had the Hanger Steak meal. The steak was good, the demi-glace was just okay. The Brussel sprouts were great, but half of my squash was not fully cooked of the seasonal vegetables. My wife had the chicken Gnocchi in white wine sauce. The sauce was very boozy and made any piece of the dish that was soaked in it off-putting. The flourless chocolate cake was just alright but, the lemon blueberry cake was a highlight of our experience.
