A must-visit restaurant that truly elevates the West Bloomfield...

I wanted to like this place and struggled to do so. It is trying so hard to be hip and delicious. The menu is rather uninspired and after perusing it closely I was unable to find something that excited me. It seemed to be all over the place relying on trends as opposed to focusing on making a dish amazing.

The ahi tartar started out well enough. The combination of spicy mayo, tuna and avocado was tasty. The serving with deep fried won ton was a nice touch.

However, the seared ahi was a huge swing and a miss. The sauce served alongside was basic teriyaki and the cabbage was basically uneatable. I love a good pickled vegetable and cabbage but this was not it. To add insult it was served with golden chopsticks under the food. Actually quite a faux pas with Asian foods.

The Wagyu burger was underwhelming although I will say that the brioche bu was delicious. The mini pickle served alongside was the smallest spear of pickle I have ever had.

Finally, the fingerling truffle potatoes were cut inappropriately for deep frying. The were chopped and deep fried and this were too large and not delicious. Hint: try smashing the potatoes and then deep frying. This will creat smaller edges to crisp and add texture to your side dish.

West End gets 2 stars for food thanks to the ahi tartar.

If the price was in the $40-50 range I wouldn't have been disappointed. However, this disappointing meal cost $73 without any sort of cocktail or drink.

I'm sorry but for that price point I expect to be satisfied.

I cannot recommend this restaurant and I hope they figure...
