Excellent omelette, potatoes, and blueberry pancakes. If you’re staying at the Westin, get the room rate with breakfast included.

My meal was delicious. The butternut squash soup was smooth, and the flavor of the squash was the most present flavor. I love that it was not overpowered by anything else. The bartenders are excellent and friendly. They have an excellent absinthe with a strong flavor. The bartender said he was more than glad to pour me some as he had made a mixed drink using it, and the manager would not put it on the menu. He is an excellent bartender, and I enjoyed talking with him about alcohol.

Good service is relatively common. But service that leaves a lasting impression is far rarer. We raved about Sloan’s service for the rest of our night. Sloan made us feel important and she made one of the best manhattan’s I’ve ever had. The food was great and we ended our evening with tea and the Biscoff Tres Leches Cake, which she insisted we try. It was so delicious! We hope to see her on our next visit! Go in and see Sloan at Congress Squared in the Westin, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing breakfast! Some of the best home-style potatoes I’ve had outside of home, really good ingredients used in our meals. The staff were so pleasant and happy to help.

Wonderful breakfasts while staying at this hotel. Try some lobster with your breakfast. I really enjoyed the berries and yogurt also. I had dinner here the last night of my stay and it was divine. Street parking is sparce and the parking deck is expensive so walk or uber if you aren't staying at the hotel. The manager clearly knows what she is doing as does the chef. Amazing.
