    Roasted Chicken Breast
    Neil K.

    I ordered the roasted chicken breast and was warned it's cooked fresh and will take 25 minutes to cook. Glad I waited, the breast was cooked perfectly - moist & tender and properly seasoned. It came with Brussels sprouts which needed more time cooking, too hard. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. Service was simple & spot on ( I sat at the bar). It's located on n the middle of the hotel, wide open, no walls or thrills.

    Cute lobby restaurant in the Westin Hotel. The prices are steep, but that is expected for hotel restaurant and bars. The food is good and the service is great! The salads are good but adding protein is an additional $12-$18. The wings are great and the portion size is generous. The soft pretzel appetizer was good as well.

    Typical hotel lobby bar. Food was decent enough - drinks ok. Over priced (of course) but lively setting. Service was decent.

    Chicken noodle soup

    I ordered clam chowder and a lobster roll. The clam chowder was actually really good IMO. It had 0 remnants of sand!! The waiter asked me if I liked chicken noodle soup and brought me some to try. It was okay, not the best I've ever had, and not better than the chowder at all. On to the lobster roll, I always forget to ask if the lobster is hot or cold. It didn't say Connecticut or Maine and I always assume hot, because why do you weirdos like cold lobster on a hot bun? There were no shells in the lobster, which was a step up, because I almost broke a tooth someplace else. It's always too much bread after awhile. I scooped out the meat, asked for some melted better, and all was right in the world. Service was a bit slow.

    A really cool bar scene at the Westin Hotel. The bar area has many table/high tops. We had just checked in and needed to leave quickly but wanted a bite to eat just to get us over. We had a drink and a charcuterie board along with fried calamari. The food was delicious, served quickly. A great place to sit, drink, dine and people watch. Also if you like they have a huge tv screen to watch whatever sporting event happens to be on.

    Staff were really busy, which meant service was slow. Price was expensive however what can you expect for a hotel bar. Music was loud.

    Calamari

    Cute little lobby self seating restaurant/bar. Don't let it's nonchalant scene fool you, the food here is actually really good! Came for a quick bite with my party, picked and chose an array of different foods. Calamari, tuna tar tar, and ahi tuna poke were all very delicious and fresh! It was one of the best calamari I have ever tasted. The array of crunch, veggies, and tuna for the poke were also combined very well. We also got the chicken wings, it was a different type of seasoning than other places, and I LOVED them, we ended up getting 2 orders. It's a little bit of sweet and spicy, and very crispy. Ended the meal with a crème brûlée and chocolate slice cake, both perfect portions to share after a big meal. Can also order these items from the room service menu!

    Exceptional service --- we popped in for a beverage or two during our stay and encountered the most engaging and professional bartender -- Jennifer. She is the consummate professional. The drinks were yummy and relatively inexpensive.

    Asked the bar tender what the cheapest drink was. Told me "be an adult and order your own drink". Will not be going back.

The Potsticker appetizers were incredible and the quantity was perfect for what we wanted. Had to amend review....

Chris who provided local information and suggested the Fisherman's Feast to get to know some history behind the celebration as well as making us 2 of his recommended "Old Fashions" and also Lorin who made my wife her special "Strawberry Milkshake" shot....

Whether you are stopping in for fresh seafood, handcrafted sushi rolls, high-end prime steaks, vibrant plant-based dishes, or simply sandwich and fries for lunch, the kitchen caters effortlessly to diverse palates and dietary preferences. The food was absolutely delicious. The Hot Baked Crab Dip is an absolute must-order. Most importantly, the server was very attentive and the food was served really quick, especially given the size of our group.

Service was great and everything we got were delicious: - Kestra Breakfast Plate: 5/10 I was a bit disappointed that I could only pick one protein, got the sausages and it was laughable how small the portion was. There seemed to be more potatoes than anything else. Regardless, I think everything was cooked well and tasted great. - Turkish Breakfast: 7/10, was surprisingly good! I've never eaten a block of Feta before but it was very fresh and not overpowering. They had fancy HEIRLOOM tomatoes so that was a nice and refreshing surprise. - Short Rib Hash: 8.2/10, a great value! The only thing is that the short rib was dry... but overall still tasty and filling. - fruit bowl: 9/10, the fruit bowl is ENORMOUS! Super large portion of pineapple, honey dew, orange cantaloupe, grapes, Raspberry, strawberry, blueberry. - Lemon Ricotta pancakes: 7.2/10, great texture of pancakes had a nice bounce to it and slightly mochi like. I had to have a side of maple syrup because they didn't give enough lemon compote. - Croissant: 1000/10, I ordered Ala carte and this was top 2 best PLAIN croissant I had. It was large and perfectly light and fluffy and buttery all at the same time. I also LOVE butter and jam so this was perfect.

It was a Sunday night and we didn't feel like going far for a meal. That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.
