“A surprising find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

I was too tired after a long day--and the rain-- to leave the hotel, so decided to try Soleil. It's a soft and attractive restaurant, there were only about four tables, so it was quiet. The menu is not huge, but varied, and rotisserie food is their specialty. My Scotch was a weak pour, the French onion soup a tad too salty for me but tasty nevertheless, a rotisserie Cornish game hen nicely prepared, moist, tasty, along with a cheese polenta cake and asparagus. Service was efficient although getting water sometimes required a lot of work to get attention! Small and modest wine list. If I stay at the Westin again I'll give it another try.

“Delicious dinner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

We were one of only 3 tables for dinner on a Sunday night, which meant out service was terrific! I had some delightful seared scallops and my sister had a kobe beef burger which she claimed was the best of her life.

“Hotel breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 5, 2012

It was perfectly adequate, if overpriced, white linen hotel food. Our four breakfasts (two children, two adults) came to over $70.

“Good restaurant to dine”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012

I had a salmon over here on Feb 14 2012.The staff was courteous and promptly directed me to the table. The taste of salmon was refreshing. The decor of the place is subtle but nice. The breads served was fresh. The wine list is a quite good and appropriate.
