Lovely hotel. The Lea had fun atmosphere! A large wedding party came in while I was relaxing at bar with my husband - Kate, Liz,and Cathy at the bar were amazing! They laughed and smiled filling drinks and keeping everyone happy!!

This restaurant is almost never busy. Slide in for a quick bite or your favorite beverage. There is always room at the bar. Ask about plate temperature if you want food served hot. Steak cut fries are great. Soup off the day is off menu but usually worth sampling a full bowl.

Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator access from street level and ample table seating.

We were tired and didn't want to venture too far from our hotel room. The food was delicious and the service was so quick. We had piping hot steak fries, the strawberry burrata salad and wings. I'm so glad we tried Lea!

Did not state it is INSIDE the Westin, so difficult to find. Made a lunch reservation for just appetizers since we were going to a Phillies game after. We got there and nobody was to be found, until we called into the back. We were told they only served brunch on weekends, which was also not mentioned in their listing. We had already had breakfast though, so we did not stay. QUITE DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR LISTING

Good for a stylish, quiet and clean spot to eat basic hotel coffee shop food. The lobby staff was very helpful. The servers were fairly attentive although not exactly warm and friendly...maybe just need a little more training. Good place in a pinch!

When I booked this restaurant I went off the menu and pictures on from here. When I got there after finally finding it (it's a restaurant/bar inside the Westin) I was very hesitant and we contemplated going somewhere else. However, I'm very glad we did not. Our server, who I didn't catch her name, was awesome. She gave a drink recommendation and advised to she add triple sec to take away the butter and she was right, the drink was delicious. We ordered the wings and they were very good. And I got the bacon cheddar burger, which was cooked perfectly. The dill pickle aioli was so good! Overall, don't judge a book by its cover, cuz this one was worth the try.

I made reservations on Open Table for 12:30PM the day after Christmas for a party of 9 people. Everything seemed great and my family traveling from Virginia was excited to meet there for our Christmas celebration. Around 12:15 I checked to make sure I had the correct address and on Google Lea Restaurant came up as "closed", so I immediately called. I was thinking maybe the Covid pandemic had forced them to close or something. No, it turns out they were closing at 12:30, last food order was 12:45. So my family arrived and by the time we were sat down and settled we had just a couple of minutes to order from their breakfast-only menu (at 12:30) and then their kitchen was closing.I would never have made reservations had I known this. What restaurant accepts reservations for a party of 9 15 minutes before the kitchen closes? And I was NEVER informed it was breakfast only.I will never trust this restaurant again, nor the Westin Hotel, they ruined our family's Christmas celebration. I am doing my best to tell everyone to avoid this terribly managed establishment. If I could give negative stars I would.

What an absolute disaster! I made a reservation for a party of 9 for 12:30PM for Sunday, 12/26, it was to be our family's Holiday celebration after not seeing each other for almost two years. What I didn't know and what I wouldn't find out until noon on the day of our reservation was that Lea was closing at 12:30, and last food order was 12:45 sharp. I was running late and my family had to order my meal just so I would have something to eat. What terrible management accepts reservations for a party of 9 at closing time?? To add insult to injury the menu was breakfast only, which was another shock. at 12:30, breakfast only? I had family coming from two different states, some coming from as far as 5 hours away. I was mortified and I am livid. I will never recommend Lea restaurant nor the Westin Hotel--in fact the opposite I am telling everyone I know about this BS. That said, our server was very nice and she obviously felt horrible that we were so screwed over. I gave her a good tip and wished her well, we knew she had nothing to do with this scam pulled on us.
