The food and the service were excellent..Went here on Boxing Day for my belated Birthday celebration and our server was delightful and even subbed us a dessert writing Happy Birthday on the plate. We more or less had the place to ourselves and the music and decorations were very tasteful. Our server even recommended a frame that was set up down the hall so we could take pictures and told us to check with the Front Desk re free parking and they were able to provide us with a pass. My daughter was visiting from Toronto and enjoyed the experience enough to want to come again. We hadn't been at the Westin for a number of years so it was nice to see it renovated without taking away from the historical aesthetics.
