    This place is amazing. I love the ambience and that it is quiet and relaxing. The service is impeccable; John was our server and is great at his job. The food, delicious. We had the sticky salmon dish and the grouper dish and both were delectable.

    Service was just OK. We were ignored for 15 mins after being seated until I flagged someone down. Were told they “ran out of bread” when we asked for some but noticed all the other tables had bread. Gruyère Onion soup was good. Salmon was over cooked but fried rice was good.

    The Mother's Day Brunch was a bit limited. My Mother's toast w/bananas, and berries came out burnt. Our server, Mike was very attentive and had it replaced quickly for us. I got the Mommy cinnamon rolls (super avg..nothing special), chicken apple sausage (delicious!!) and the Salmon toast (was good, but would have been excellent if served with red onion and capers). All in all we enjoyed our time together at Evoq. The prices were very reasonable. I would like to give it a 2nd try on a non-holiday.

    Our server was in a BAD mood when we arrived. There was only one other table but our service was still delayed. I ordered the French onion soup which may have been microwaved forever. I poured my glass is water in to the soup to cool it off and help thin the congeal. Would not eat there again.

    Our last night in Florida was so relaxing. We had the BEST food, delicious and beautiful. There was no loud crowd or annoying music. We were treated so well by our waiter. The Josh wine was delicious and we had steak and shrimp and scallops. I wish you had a better sign because we drove past the hotel multiple times, but the meal was a great memory!

    Wonderful atmosphere. Food was great! We were seated and the server promptly came to our table. He was very attentive. I had beef tenderloin, and they were perfect. Our food was served as soon as it was ready, Hot! Everything was lovely. However, there was a large party next to us, and they were very loud. Maybe a smaller room would be better to accommodate them. The ceilings sere very high so that made it extra loud. Otherwise it was a wonderful night, and we would definitely come back.

    The food was mediocre. Meat that was ordered medium rare came out medium/well. We didn't have time to wait for a re-do. To their credit, they did comp the salad and dessert. The other meals were just ok.

    This restaurant is inside the Westin Hotel, which we were unaware of until arriving. The food and service were outstanding. They seemed perhaps a bit understaffed, nothing unusual these days, but the servers they had were exceptionally friendly and efficient. The ambiance was okay, a bit strange in that there was no bar — although the restaurant served from a full range of spirits. The noise level was almost non-existent. If you’re looking for a cool vibe and a bit of excitement, I would skip it. But if you want really good food with quality service and a very quiet atmosphere, check it out.

    I typically don’t leave poor reviews but this place was a complete letdown. Slow, inattentive service. Mediocre food. Some food cold. Matcha dessert had been prepared many hours before, possibly a different day…had awful texture and flavor. Only a handful of patrons yet still extremely slow. Mussels were dry/overcooked..not fresh. The catch of the day unavailable because they said the equipment they steam it with was not working. You would think they would still have an alternative fresh fish available and just cook it differently. Complete waste of money frankly. They’re not even trying.

    Great restaurant. Seated quickly on a Friday night, 25 minutes earlier than our reserved time. Our waiter, Michael, was very polite and attentive. We enjoyed delicious French onion soup. I had the sticky salmon, which was quite tasty but a little salty. My boyfriend got the noodle bowl with chicken, which he liked quite a bit. We loved the atmosphere. Cozy and cute.

    Went with 2 vegan/vegetarian friends, who were very very happy with the noodle bowls. 1 had southern fried tofu as a side, which was an ample serving of firm tofu with a light and slightly spicy breading. My blackened grouper was very good, and I'm glad I got the kimchi on the side, as it was spicier than I can handle. (I'd mix in a bit to the buttered grits for variety.) The teriyaki of my partner's sticky salmon was salty and not overly sweet (which was appreciated), and the accompanying vegetables were very good. There will be more to try from this menu. At 6:30 on a Friday it was quiet, about empty, but starting around 7 more people came, and the noise level rose -- all hard surfaces. Valet parking was free.

    The food was excellent I clearly described my cocktail to the waiter down to the color and he came to the table with the wrong drink telling me I was incorrect that crème de cacao only came in dark which is not true. I ordered French onion soup which was excellent however it is very hot and can’t be eaten for several minutes We were not done eating appetizers when the entree came I sent them back Then as I took my last spoon of soup the entrees came out again I sent them back a second time There should be ample space between courses One should never be clearing the apps while placing the entree Terrible timing The bar is on the other side of a curtain and there was a football game on the tv so it was noisy When I’m paying 40$ for an entree I expect the service and ambiance to go along with that

    It would be nice if the chef could avoid making everything spicy- I had the chicken and it came with peas that had jalapeños in them- kind of overwhelmed the whole dish. But our waiter was great!

    We chose the hotel restaurant based on the on-line menu. Upon being seated, was advised the menu we were looking forward to had not been available in two years. Scaled down menu was a major disappointment. Staff was attentive and apologetic. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant. Would add this Westin has a great rooftop bar with great staff.
