We had a great experience! Taylor made sure we had everything we needed, he was an awesome server. The food was delicious and all was perfect. A fantastic restaurant to enjoy a special occasion.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Amanda Harp · Nov 2025

We were really disappointed with our visit to 21 West End. The service was extremely slow — it took hours for our food to finally arrive, and our drinks sat empty for most of the meal. When dessert came out, it said “thank you” instead of “happy birthday,” even though we had mentioned it was a birthday dinner. The food itself was sub par once it arrived. The experience as a whole just didn’t meet expectations, especially for a special occasion. It was my boyfriend’s first time to experience this location and I had raved about what a great place it was… only to leave with such disappointment that we will not choose to eat here again.

What a surprise for Fort Smith! I grew up here and this is one of the nicest restaurants this town has ever had. I came here as a celebratory event with my elderly parents and my brother. It's a traditional menu. I ordered fried brie for the table and it was otherworldly good. Even my parents, who are not adventurous eaters, loved it. I ordered the pistachio sea bass with mushroom risotto. I was pleasantly surprised at how many seafood dishes they offered. Mine came out PERFECTLY. My father had pork loin, my mother had the crab cake appetizer has her entree and my brother had steak/shrimp. Everyone was really pleased. I will happily return here!

Traveling to the area for a dance competition and tried 21 West End for the first time- it was fabulous! Our server Jeffery was very attentive, friendly and even brought us a special surprise for our wedding anniversary. 5 stars all around! Thank you 21 West End for a wonderful night!

Amazing location, very intimate, everything about our evening was delicious and exceeded any expectations I had by a large margin. Reservations on the weekends are HIGHLY recommended. Only caveat I could mention is the confusing layout, but that's part of the mystique. When you walk thru the old style speakeasy door nothing greets you except a stone stairwell leading down 2 flights to the basement, then turn RIGHT for the main restaurant. Our server Mitch was a delight, and made several recommendations that we took advantage of, including cocktails and entree choices. The sea bass was melt in your mouth as was the filet mignon. If I could rate it 6 stars I would. Wonderful experience all around.
