    We arrived early for our 5:30 pm dinner reservations and had a drink at the bar but couldn’t move the bar bill to the restaurant tab so finally they found a way to accommodate us. We ordered a ceviche appetizer ($25) but we had to wait 30 minutes for it to arrive! It came in a small bowl and was comprised of twelve small cubes of watermelon and eight small cubes of some type of fish! That was it! The waitress realized it was poorly done and took it off the bill. Then we ordered bread (four small pieces for $5) but it didn’t come for over ten minutes which was concerning since the restaurant was empty. Finally my wife ordered salmon and I ordered halibut and waited and waited but it also took 30 minutes to arrive! The entrees are all minimal so I also ordered mashed potatoes ($15) which came in a small bowl. The halibut looked to be only 3.5 oz (!) and was basically three bites for $41! WTF?! Apparently the 20-20 restaurant management supports a chef who obsesses about tiny portions and thinks his food deserves a Michelin star! However the wait for food to arrive was not the fault of the servers or staff….but apparently the restaurant is poorly run and has issues. On top of that, a table of ten was sitting outside, and after an hour, they were still waiting for the food to arrive when we left. How can that be defended? Does this restaurant believe that faux ambience is going to justify high prices for tiny portions of food? Does Westin even know that their restaurant is compromised?

    This is a restaurant inside a Westin Hotel. There was virtually no one in the restaurant and the menu was rather limited for lunch, so we thought it is probably a miss. But it turned out that the food was quite good. We'll consider coming back for dinner at some point.

    This restaurant is in a lovely setting inside the Westin Hotel. Our entrees, steak and pork, were nicely presented and tasty, and the service was very good. The menu was a bit pricey, in our view.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday here. Awesome service, delicious food and an outstanding ambiance feel during our outside dining on the patio. Definitely will plan a return visit for a special occasion or an evening out. The sunset view was especially enjoyable during our dinner service.

    Our waitress Alli was delightful. She swapped my first glass of wine (house white and very very sweet) for a drier Louis Jason Bourgogne that was much nicer. More expensive but I wasn’t charged for the first one. The menu looked ambitious but original. We shared a huge charcuterie board for an appetiser and then chose the halibut. Unfortunately the spice overwhelmed all the other lovely flavours on the plate and the fish was overcooked. I wish I’d accepted Allis offer of a replacement!

    Food quality was high. Service was very good. Menu is VERY limited and somewhat esoteric. Reasonable value, especially for a hotel restaurant.
