    Service for the pre-5 menu was desultory. The service was rushed, the food very average, and we were inane out in 50 minutes perhaps the goal of the restaurant. Not going back for more of the same.

    Everything was great, but we forgot to ask our server to reduce that 3% service charge that Lettuce Corporate continues to charge. We are gold members and really resent this, as it impacts us the most. Where is the incentive to continue to dine at Lettuce restaurants? Please let corporate know of our displeasure. It is not surprising that there is a lawsuit pending re this. Prices have increased at most Lettuce restaurants already, and COVID is over!

    The ambitious is nice, quiet place with pleasant interior. Attached to Westin hotel. Food was decent but underwhelming. I ordered a salad with shrimp as a protein option. They gave me exactly 5 shrimp. For nearly $6 surcharge, that's over $1 per one shrimp. I seriously think this was a rip off, a protein option should have at least 4-5 oz. My dining partner had a sandwich and said it was average. The service was decent. Overall, it's an ok restaurant but overpriced for it's food and service.

    This used to be one of my favorite places to have chicken Parm but they’ve changed it. It’s no longer served in a hot skillet and isn’t the same pounded thin crispy version.  disappointed.

    We had reservations for 10 on a Saturday night. I typically give restaurants a lot of grace on a busy Saturday night, but there was no reason to this time. Service, food and ambiance were excellent. We felt like absolute guests.
