   I don't think I've ever given a perfect review, however, this place is definitely impressive. From the ambiance, service, food, to the memories that'll be made in their "homey", warm restaurant. I had the wonderful experience of being taken care of by Miss Callie. She was so knowledgeable and very kind! My wife and I took out family and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to check all the boxes while hitting our taste buds with every dish! I'd really like to commend the staff for the experience and hospitality, with this being attached to a hotel I wasn't sure if only certain guests would receive a certain treatment or not... but NOPE, everyone is so friendly. It was actually raining on our way in so the door attendants ran and escorted us in through the rain! Once we were in the real fun began. From the Polaroid Summer drink, to the non-alcoholic beverages, to the Jidori Chicken! Everything was amazing, my wife had the shrimp and chicken salad, the salmon was looking great and the cheesecake dessert is immaculate! I want to shout out Callie again for making our experience that much more special. It really does start with the staff and I believe Callie is a golden one! Thanks again.

   Service was excellent. The hostess and server were both welcoming and attentive. The manager checked on us as well. There are numerous seating options including seats at the bar both indoors and outside, plus patio and lounge seats at the bar. We sat on the patio just outside the bar. It’s a few degrees cooler on the patio in the early evening since the sun is past. The food experience was disappointing. Most of the menu leans more towards gastropub style which is not our usual preference. We had looked at the menu online beforehand but our server mentioned there had been a lot of changes. My wife’s rigatoni tasted okay but was very heavy with a green sauce that looked unappetizing and was too rich. The salmon on top was fishy and looked undercooked. Half of the space on their menu is devoted to 3 meat choices which led me to believe this was their specialty. I ordered the NY strip cooked at medium. It was cooked unevenly between medium well and well done. Fortunately it had a nice sear and was flavorful thanks mostly to the sauce which was primarily cowboy butter. I expected better for a $52 steak. We did not order an appetizer, but shared the steak fries. The fries themselves were good but they were also $14. I do not recommend the chipotle dipping sauce. I really want to like this place. The atmosphere, location and service are great so I will definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice bar but not the food.

    As always, I enjoyed it. I tried the Jidori Chicken (1/2), and it was excellent (while I liked the prior “brick chicken” too, this was much more flavorful and moist, with a great sauce too). I like the ambiance of LWT, and enjoy dining there when staying at the Junto (which has been many times each year since it opened in Summer 2023).
