- JJulieWashington, D.C. Area •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe really appreciated the very quick service since our son visiting from the East Coast was on ET, and his flight was a bit delayed. The burrata arrived within minutes of our son's ordering it, as did his beer and bread. The chicken he ordered followed soon after, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband I shared the Maui shrimp and the crab-stuffed ravioli in lobster sauce, both delicious. We have been coming to the West End Bar & Kitchen for many years through several changes of name and ownership. It is an ideal neighborhood venue, both in the beautiful enclosed outdoor space and inside.More infoWest End Bar & KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Del Mar•4.7
