Off the chain good.
Stupid good.
Shrimp Cocktail - shrimp the size of a small horse, super yummy and horseradishy sauce I had to slurp up with a spoon!
Bacon wrapped scallops - like butter from the sea with perfectly cooked porky ribbons!
Double-cut Filet - well, if you like a perfectly pink and warm medium or medium rare, I can't imagine a better filet in town. Outstanding!
Brussel Sprouts with bacon and onion - it will convert even the most ardent veggie hater!
Asparagus - sure, it makes your pee smell funny, but these tree-trunk sized asparagus shafts with the sweet and sticky balsamic glaze are almost a meal in themselves - and perfectly al dente.
Key Lime Pie and Double Chocolate Mousse - sent us home sweetly satisfied and glowing!
Excellent service. Beautiful dining room.
Family-style sides were delicious. Not the best porterhouse I've had, but it was very good.
Chess Pie killed!

Odd site, though. The "public" ground level makes the opulence of the Westin wane. But from the Lobby (2nd floor) up, all good!

$14 as of Jan 2012.
Lunch of "Big Brown" was more telling of what is really just an average hotel eatery.
Nice servers.
Yummy food. Love the pot roast.

On the other hand, a previous experience with my then girlfriend's cat left a very sour taste in our mouth. In this instance, I think the front of the house (reception and billing folks) should have been on the same page (they were not) as the vets. The result was confusion, a surprisingly different bill total, and emotional distress beyond the trauma we, the human clients, were already dealing with.
