    The ambience was great - beautiful views at sunset. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was very good, and it was refreshing to get portions that are not enormous. The drinks were tasty but maybe a bit watered down. I would still recommend and will be going back again.

    When I booked this I didn’t realize it is located in the Westin hotel. It was open, bright and the food was buffet style… everything we grabbed was delicious, fresh and there was a nice variety including a carving station $ omelette station. They had a fresh rose for all the Moms. My wife smiled the whole time!

    Such a beautiful place to watch the sunset but there wasn’t anyone to greet us or to give us a table that we reserved on Open Table when we got there so we ended up at the bar, unfortunately. They weren’t that hospitable at all which for bartenders in a place like this was rather surprising. They actually acted annoyed by having to acknowledge us and were not friendly.
