What Mayra D doesn't like about West End Tap And Kitchen:
Went here after seeing they were a dog friendly place, and we had our corgi who we just took to the dog beach. We found parking right away, but had a hard time finding this place after we parked. Once we found it, we were seated right away outside. I 'm not sure if we went on a bad day, but none of the staff seemed like they wanted to be there. The host, who sat us, saw us with our dog or why she would sit us outside... View all feedback. What User likes about West End Tap And Kitchen:
If you want the highway 1 and a great taste of local California wine, beer or seafood, this is a good option. The delicious gastropub quality food is worth the price because the flavors are amazing. There are many vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. There is also a comfortable and warm dining area with outdoor seating. View all feedback.
