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 T

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).

We stopped here for a lovely lunch. Everything was so delicious. We had fabulous salads, Perch sandwiches, truffle fries and specialty drinks. We sat outside. Beautiful views! Great service too!

Can't recommend you go to West End Tavern enough. Our service was very friendly and our veiw of the Marina from the patio was perfect. All if our entrees were delicious but the tomahawk pork chop may have been the best pork chop I've ever had.

★★★★★ 5.0 Wendy Petrik · Oct 2025

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
