My first visit here was very pleasant. The atmosphere is excellent. The service, food, and drinks were very good. The only drawback is that it is a little pricey.

Incredibly overpriced. The day after Valentines and no one greeted us to seat us. We were told by the only employee around, the bartender, to seat ourselves. Took forever for the waiters to take our orders. The food was good. Parking was strange. Biggest complaint - they call themselves a “wine bar” but have a very limited selection... they don’t even offer any wine flights. Will not be returning.

Service was horrible. Our bartender had not only the bar to attend to, but also was responsible for bussing tables & bringing out food. It took an unusually long time to flag the bartender down for drinks, and even longer to grab the check (my friend and I joked that we could probably just leave and nobody would notice). We paid, of course, but nonetheless.

Great canolis! I was visiting with my son and girlfriend for dinner. I had a salad with seafood and my son had some meat. The good was good and the service attentive. The bathrooms were clean and the hostess helpful. The decor was a bit dated but we were there for the dessert. And it didn't disappoint--the canolis were amazing. Just looked Grandma used to make. Delicious!

From the first moment you arrive in that restaurant the waiters give you an enjoyable feeling. Very hospitable waiters, it is a lovely place to to go out with your friends or with your date. delightful cuisine, specialist chef de cuisine, comfortable price and professional service. Warmly recommended.

Recently visited since my last meal there 18 months ago. Quality of food way down this time. I guess they're counting on 2 hotels within 200 yards. As a local, I'm taking this one off my list.

I ordered dinner from room service. The cheese and charcuterie board was the worst I've ever had. Some of the meats were literally too tough to chew. I had the chopped salad, it came with a half-brown avocado. I've stayed here several times, it's really going downhill.

Really good and my first time here. Apparently the menu has drastically changed and it used to be way different more unique. Though now the prices have decreased quite a bit and the food is quite good. Came in with a friend, we shared the misto fritto appetizer, which was fried seafood (shrimp, scallops and calamari) with fried green beans and a couple sauces. Then I opted for the onion soup. It was good, but way too sweet for onion soup. The chef should cut back on the amount of sweetener in that type of soup. I'm a connoisseur of onion soup and this just wasn't good. The opted for the Wagyu beef burger with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and avocado. The burger with its homemade french fries was delicious. Ordered it medium, came out more like medium rare which was fine with me. Others may not like the temperature, but it was okay and the burger was super tasty, fries were crisp and flavorful, not salty in the least bit, which is perfect for me. My friend had the grilled salmon half portion and it looked delicious. The half portion filled the plate, I cannot imagine how large the full portion is. We were too full for dessert, though the dessert menu looked very good. Our waitress and busboy kept our water glasses filled at all times and kept checking on us to make sure everything was okay. I live very close to the Westin and Vinifera and I will definitely be back for appetizers and dessert, maybe even during happy hour or to sit on their deck when the weather cools down. Recommend a visit here, whether you are staying at the Westin or not.

Overpriced breakfast buffet with bagged eggs

The sirloin steak was very tender and cooked to perfection.

Great bartender! I tried the Cabernet she suggested to go with the meatball appetizer. The wine was quite good at $12 for a decent pour. The $12 meatball appetizer was okay not remarkable. If it weren't for the bartender this place would get three stars.
