I like the atmosphere of this place - it's pretty laid back, they have a mix of seating types and seem to have enough outlets for everyone. I also like that they have the usual coffee fare as well as a bar. The teas that I've tried taste good, but it's hard to drink because they leave all of the tea in the glass when they serve it to you, so it gets stuck on your lips/ face/ teeth. Kind of weird. I haven't tried the coffee yet but am looking forward to it.

In the lobby of the Westin. Service was friendly and exact. Good was excellent, especially since I thought it would be a mediocre "hotel lunch" at best. Scallops with potatoes and corn hash and some lovely mushrooms as well. Cajun shrimp butter was fantastic too!

First of all, I'm tired of restaurants that play thumping music in the background and put a pair of cleavage cuties at the host stand to mask the weak food and marginal service. And then have servers that appear to have never left Arizona but are experts in sushi and Japanese cuisine. I realize that they're not a real "Japanese" restaurant, but nevertheless... Bar staff was mediocre. I sat there with little attention. Food is nothing to write home about; nothing I had really stands out and it didn't seem the staff had any convincing recommendations. It's not outrageously expensive, but it could get a bit pricey depending on how you order. I suppose if you're here for a trendy snack before heading out dancing, it might fit, but if you actually want a meal, I wouldn't recommend it. To top my meal off, I had a dry, flaky, not-so-tasty dessert that looked like an afterthought. I realize desserts are the big margin item at a restaurant, but for $7, I would have liked it to look better put together. Skip this one. Especially at this location. If you want the scene, go to Scottsdale.

Had the steak and lobster tail, bowl of chowder and onion rings. Pure garbage. This food appears to be heated from frozen and tasted bad. I have had the ribs at this location before and they were good. Also had a hamberger here a few weeks ago, it was passable. My bill came to over $30.00 for just me, for the above items. Gold Coast should have stuck with their own restaurant which was always good. It appears to be all about Greed. P.S. the server tryed hard but of course has no control over the garbage coming from the kitchen. I will not be back.
