@westendcafeli is a casual dinner & lunch restaurant located in the heart of Long Island. This is a great spot to check out before or after a trip to Roosevelt Field Mall, and it’s close to most major highways which makes it the perfect place to meet friends for a delicious meal!! My family and I have been going here for years and it’s an amazing staple for 30 years in the Long Island community. This time we tried some new dishes and specials. The duck tacos were so flavorful and such a great portion size. Chicken & Brie with caramelized onions and bacon on ciabatta is a dream sandwich 🥪. No better way to end the meal than with my fav carrot cake 🤩 Check this amazing restaurant out with a big group, for a date night, or for a casual delicious bite when in the area!!

Food was phenomenal. Server was attentive and also let us have our own space to enjoy the meal. Music was a bit too loud in the background. Will definitely be going back.

Food & service were both excellent. I started with the house blend baked meatballs, then shrimp risotto for my entree. Perfectly cooked nice big shrimp. Very flavorful risotto. For dessert I had the warm apple crisp which comes with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. That was delicious.

Hubby and I are a huge fans of WEC! We know it’s worth the trip from Long Beach to Carle Place to visit Nelson and his team. Last Sunday evening was a wonderful as ever! My friend and I both enjoyed the prix fixe menu, and everything was DELICIOUS! She had the beet salad and salmon (with the sauce thoughtfully served on the side), and took home the apple tart with ice cream. I had the butternut squash soup and cast iron organic chicken, and we shared a fabulous brownie sundae. I like tequila and they had one of my current faves - Ocho repo up chilled, stirred, not shaken, with an orange twist in a pretty glass. LOL. Portions were generous, and everything was beautifully prepared. A special shout-out to Lucio, our waiter, who was attentive, charming, and never intrusive. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish!
