NVM Review

By Warren Rojas

Food: 7.8 Ambiance: 7.8 Service: 7.5

The eyes have it at Jamieson Grille, a boutique eatery where presentation is paramount.

No matter where you look, something at this Westin property begs for attention—from the ice-breaking “My passion is: XX” tags pinned on every employee’s lapel to an overhead light show that floods the main dining room in a rainbow of pastels every few minutes (cute).

Over at the bar, specialty drink menus are supplemented by a rotating “cocktails of the month” display featuring staff-selected thirst-quenchers.

Crab cakes summon jumbo lump commingled with sweet corn and minced peppers (doesn’t feel like filler; more like savory backup) and crowned with Old Bay sauce. Lamb chops are dually spiced (a peppery mustard masterpiece) and duly delicious. Slender desserts with big flavors include white chocolate pistachio and espresso bar.
