Tidy little meal here for $ 39. Reasonable choice. Nice dishes. A very nice salad and a beautifully tender and excellently cooked chicken breast. Nice Chardonnay to accompany them. Service was a tad stiff and formal. Apart from the food, the key thing I liked was the restaurant space itself. Nicely designed and laid out with very generous space between tables. I like the place and I’d happily return.

This is a very good business hotel buffet. Lots of fruit, nuts, other choices for cereal and yogurt. Always different juices as well. Ive never had the hot breakfast because the cold is so solid

Six of us had dinner here on Friday night. The first impressions as we waited 5 minutes to be greeted was poor, but then it took 10 minutes to get a waiter to take a drink order. The $ 52 steak that was ordered by all, was not cooked well — dry with little flavour. Ordered ‘medium’, was practically ‘well done’. Would never dine here again.

Probably not a restaurant I would ever go to if I weren’t staying in the hotel. That being said, I was and I went. Not crowded… simple décor… a bit like a restaurant at a mid-class hotel in China. Started with the Pacific oysters. Seafood linguini as the main. All fine… far from special. Not worth the money… nothing creative or innovative going on here… call it a safe choice.

A friend and I met up with his parents for dinner at Allegro as they were staying at the Westin and wanted somewhere close by. Well, super close by — this upmarket restaurant is INSIDE the Westin. That means, for outsiders, that it is a mix of ‘hotel restaurant’ and ‘fine-dining’: it isn’t intimate, the clientele is a mix of the casually dressed and the dressed up, but the service is faultless and friendly and the food is excellent. We had a drink in the Martini Bar, which is more like a nice hotel lobby than a bar, and then moved to the restaurant, which was more secluded and warmly lit. I ordered the king salmon with white bean purée, wild mushroom fricassee and truffle oil, which was truly excellent($ 39). The wine menu offers a range of wines by the glass, which was great for us because my friend’s parents don’t drink so it was just me and him and we didn’t want to commit to a bottle.
