The West End Restaurant Announces Management and Ownership Changes

The West End is excited to announce a new leadership team for the upscale New American restaurant, located steps from Cape Cod’s famed Melody Tent music venue in Hyannis’ historic West End.

Founding partner and owner Jen Villa is joined by new co-owner and operating partner Blane Toedt, who brings nearly 25 years’ experience in the hospitality industry to his role.

Toedt comes to The West End from Willowbend, Cape Cod’s premier private club, where he had been Director of Food & Beverage since 2016. Prior to that, Toedt was Food & Beverage Manager at The Bay Club at Mattapoisett. He has held various positions in the industry since 1995.

In Toedt’s day-to-day role as General Manager at The West End, he will work closely with the staff and culinary team to strengthen the restaurant’s service program, diversify its wine and beverage lists, and provide a memorable guest experience.  

“I am thrilled for the next phase of The West End’s success,” said Villa. “We have a fantastic team already, and Blane’s experience and dedication to excellence will help us refine our approach to hospitality even further.”

In June 2017, Villa and former co-owner David Noble set out to give new life to a space long beloved as The Paddock, keeping what was special about their one-hundred-year-old iconic location while creating an inviting and modern dining experience. Since that time, The West End has become a sought-after destination for socializing, enjoying great food with friends, and celebrating life’s most treasured moments. 

Unique Spaces for Exceptional Events and Special Occasions

From board meetings and baby showers to surprise parties and sophisticated weddings, The West End offers a variety of event spaces and services. Events Coordinator Meaghann Kenney brings more than 20 years’ experience in the local hospitality industry, event planning, and philanthropy to her role. Known for her attention to detail, refined taste, and limitless creativity, Kenney will work with you every step of the way to make your special occasion a success in the restaurant’s elegant main dining room, intimate Parlour Room, or sunny Garden Room.
