Stunning view if you get window seating, the atmosphere was cozy, cheerful, and classy. Our waitress was kind and polite. Food did take a bit to arrive, but well worth the wait (also a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for).

West End Tavern — Traverse City

We had an outstanding dinner at West End Tavern in Traverse City. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully prepared. We started with the lobster-stuffed mushrooms, which were rich, flavorful, and the perfect beginning to the meal.

For entrées, our table tried a variety of dishes and every single one impressed us. The chicken pasta was comforting and perfectly seasoned, the wagyu sirloin with mushroom demi-glaze was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, the rotisserie chicken was juicy with a crisp skin, and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone good. It’s rare for a group to love every dish, but West End delivered across the board.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was great, and the overall experience made this a new favorite for us in TC. We’ll definitely be back! We also l9ved the vibe!

The soup was just what we needed on a cold fall night and the Waygo burger was incredible 🤤🍔 I'll be thinking about it for awhile.

This place is ok similar to restaurants near it. Not enough attention to detail with the food. I had a green bean stem on my green beans.

Top notch hospitality from the manager, bartender, Amber, and server, Bob. Excellent Hendricks cocktail, great craft beer and wine list. The food was unstoppable. We tried the golden beet salad with salmon and the ribs, which were outstanding - perfectly prepared and served. We topped it off with the best carrot cake we've sampled in many a moon. This was out first time here and it won't be our last.

I wanted to do 4 1/2 bc I ordered a Pellegrino and it was put on ice (just a pet peeve) however, I think that’s maybe just a personal preference so 5 stars it is! The stone fire pizza oven pumps out some delicious pies, the seafood chowder with lobster was like a chunky delish lobster bisque and their Bloody Mary was the ultimate hangover helper. Red sangria for a refreshing pick me up and Molly the bartender slinging drinks and great draft beers. Only one tv at the bar. But listen people, talk to each other and pretend it’s 1995. Great spot, lots of tables, water view- stop for lunch, dinner or just a drink along your Michigander getaway

Definitely a popular place so if you're here during a busy season especially with more than yourself or two people it's worth making a reservation but a group of 5 of us came here and all of us loved our food. Everything was good and place is cool being right on the bay so you get a beautiful view. Service was great too.

This place was great! Beautiful views of the water and marina and the food was awesome! Sweet fennel pizza and French onion soup were yummy. Our calamari appetizer was the best I’ve ever had; tender and mild! Katie gave us super service! It’s obvious she loves her job!
