We were staying at the Westin to attend a Panthers game. For convenience, we decided to "eat the hotel". We had the crab burger (amazing... barely any filler and came with fresh fries), the chicken sandwich (also amazing... sweet yet spicy. Sweet potato fries were great as well), and then shrimp and grits (smooth tasty grits... the corn was a nice touch, very good). Had a margarita which was classic and good. It is pricey but very quality food. read more

Great atmosphere and location. Will be back on a future stay next month! Friendly staff and clean accommodations.

Made reservations for their NYE dinner. I called that afternoon on our way to the hotel. The gentleman on the other line was friendly and informed us that they only had two reservations available for that evening: 7pm and 9pm. I decided on the 7pm. We arrived promptly at 7pm for dinner. The hostess greeted us and seated us immediately. The place was not busy at this time. The restaurant is open, modern, and sophisticated. They offer outside seating by the fire pit as well. I wanted to take a peek, but was too cold for me to go outside. Most tables and counters inside have beautiful marble tops. They offered an optional prix fixe NYE menu, but we decided against it. My SO noticed the Falcons vs. Panthers game playing on the big screen by the bar and asked me if I would be okay with moving to the bar. I didn't see an issue with it. We informed the hostess of our change. There was only one bartender working throughout our dinner. More and more people approached and sat by the bar as the night progressed. He was friendly, pleasant, and tried his best to keep up with all the customers. There was a bit of a wait time for our drinks and food, but we weren't in a rush so it did not bother us. We started with drinks: Dewars and water for the SO and rum cobbler for me. The rum cobbler was strong yet sweet. For dinner, we tried the following: Tuna Poke Nachos - $16 Blackened Sea Scallops with NC grits - $24 Atlantic Salmon with Brussel Sprouts - $22 Key Lime Creme Brûlée - $7 Cinnamon Apple Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream - $7 Everything was delicious!!! From the Tuna Poke Nachos to the Apple Fritters - the chefs know what they are doing. The flavors were on point and presentation was appealing. I enjoyed the Tuna Poke Nachos, Sea Scallops, and Apple Fritters the most. We gobbled up the tuna nachos within minutes. It came with multiple sauces that all worked perfectly together. I wanted more. My entree came with four big sea scallops. The grits were creamy, cheesy and a bit salty, but not overwhelming. My SO's salmon was juicy and the vinaigrette it came with added the right amount of tart. The fritters were like warm donut holes. Can't go wrong with pairing it with ice cream! The key lime creme brûlée was exactly that. The crumbled graham cracker and toasted strawberry marshmallow on top added a nice touch and flavor. Prices are pretty reasonable for portions. We were both full after our entrees and were not able to finish both desserts. Service was friendly. read more

I went here for a late dinner and ordered the shrimp and grits ($19). The portion was generous and the seafood was fresh and tasty. Overall, an upscale restaurant with solid food and a nice selection of drinks. It was also conveniently located next to the convention center. Service was good. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by our dinner. Our server was great. I had the pork chop which is always a dicey item but it was cooked absolutely perfect to medium. We also had a burger and it was very tasty. For dessert we opted or the sticky bun wit pecans and salted caramel. It also did not disappoint. read more

Excellent restaurant inside the Westin. We had a large work group dining here this evening, and they'd prepared a fixed menu for us. We sat outdoors and the conversation was sparkling, aided no doubt by the excellent wine and cocktails being served. The food courses included quinoa with octopus, fresh ahi in tomato purée, beef over gnocchi, and a couple of other dishes that did not make it to my side of the table. It was all delicious! Dessert came in two rounds - a bowl of assorted macarons, which I enjoyed more than my fair share of - and then a humongous dessert platter that I declined to sample out of guilt. They also had cake pops and a cheesecake platter on the OTHER table (there were over 20 of us). Would recommend for a large group as they served us without any noticeable hiccups, and everyone had a wonderful time. read more

My family and I had the Mother's Day brunch today. I will just go through the most important aspects one by one. We arrived early about thirty minutes early and we were seated right away. Which was awesome we choose to sit in the patio outside. Initially our waiter told us about each different buffet station. The food was amazing. There's was a kids buffet with typical food me kids like pizza, fries, fruit, chicken tenders. There was a carving station with beef, pork, and fish on it. A seafood buffet with shrimp, salmon, crab claws and a variety of other items. Traditional breakfast bar with Bacon, sausage, eggs, waffles, (the chicken and waffles was my favorite). There was also an omelet station where a chef was to prepare your omelet like you wanted, and a crepe station (another favorite) there was a choice between a seafood crepe and a fruit crepe. I had the fruit crepes the fruit was fresh the crepe was cooked just enough it was moist and very tastey. Better than a place that specializes in crepes across town. On to the price. The price for an adult was $54 and children were $24. Children under 5 were free. This sounds expensive but for all the options it was well worth it I promise I'm cheap. So the only reason I gave a three stars instead of five the absolute only reason was the server. We saw him one to give us drinks. The entire rest of the time he would walk by our table and not say anything at all. Didn't offer drink refills our cups were empty. I finally flagged down a manager to ask for more drinks. He finally walked to our table and explained he was busy and Laughed. FYI if I'm spending $100 plus on brunch I don't want to hear how busy you are. I want good Service. I didn't complain to a manager because people think people who complain are trying to get feee food. The bill wasn't the issue the service was. Overall I would go back because the food is some of the best I've had in the city. BUT and this is a big BUT if I saw that server working I would make sure he was not my server. read more

If it's raining out or you got back to the hotel after dinner time, JP's is open by the lobby till 10PM. Every dish fell short but wasn't terrible. *Tuna Poke Nachos $16 - 6 chips with hoisin marinated tuna topped with cabbage and avocado crema. SO WEIRD. *Calamari - peanuts, honey glaze, and clumpy. The pieces of calamari had melted all into one big ball. *Heirloom tomato, avocado, mozzerella, bread, under gazpacho - awful dish that came with 3 hunks of tomato, 6 halves of mini mozzerella balls, and 6 small chunks of avocado served with a stale piece of bread *Roasted duck ($24) - served with cherry jus and vegetable spatzle left me craving Thanksgiving instead *Key lime creme brulee - roasted strawberry marshmallow, graham cracker crumbs, burnt sugar over key lime creme brulee. They didn't have panna cotta so I settled for the creme brulee and honestly, this was the most noteworthy dish for the interesting flavors. Friendly service. Glad the 1st game of the NBA finals was on to take away from the quality of the food. Service was great, water refills, and being told our food would be out shortly several times. The arm chairs smelled like baby powder though. read more

If I wrote this review last year after my Ladies gift exchange meet up and after my family started a Christmas Brunch tradition I would've gave this place 5 stars. However after our 3 visit (this year Christmas Brunch) I had to take away 2 stars for my perspective. I'm Vegan and the Christmas Brunch is extremely large with a lot of options and stations. I don't expect much in the South as far as Vegan options on menus or let alone a buffet. However my family really wanted to do this Brunch since we agreed that the years we stay in town it will be our tradition. Well I called beforehand and inquired about Vegan options and was told there were about 3-4. Keep in mind the regular food options are 30-40. I asked about not paying the $60 Adult rate for myself as I wouldn't be able to eat like those who eat meat and animal products. I stated that I'm willing to pay the child price of $29 to munch on 3-4 items out of 30-40. I was told the manager on site Christmas would be able to do that for me. So we arrive for our reservation and the manager came over to show me the "Vegan" options which were actually Vegetarian only 1-2 were Vegan so I couldn't eat but 1-2 items instead of 3-4 and guess what?? I was charged $60 since I'm an adult not keeping in mind there wasn't food for me to eat. I paid as its Christmas but I won't be returning with my family we will find another Brunch and make that tradition as this was ridiculous for me 2017. read more

This is the restaurant inside the Westin in downtown charlotte. I came here for lunch on a Saturday while staying at the hotel for my wedding weekend. Woooo, we are married! So down to the details. We were seated quickly as it was early afternoon. The waiter was very attentive and easy to get along with. We ordered and I got a turkey club and fries. The sandwich was huge! Super thick slices of tender turkey piled high. Fresh avocado, bacon and fresh tomatoes rounded out the sandwich, add a nice toasty wheat bread and you have a club that I want to join. Man, that was a bad joke! Haha So anyway, they could earn five stars by turning their prices down a little, but that is what you get in downtown I suppose, one of my groomsmen paid anyway! I would go back here just to get that awesome club again, check the pic! read more

This is a decent hotel restaurant. It's quite stylish looking and comfortable. But the service is lackluster (a touch apathetic), the food is not special, and the pricing is hotel-restaurant high. Overall, it met my expectations, but did not exceed them in any area, so it gets three stars. My food took a very good while to arrive at my table. It did arrive hot, but as I said above, it was good, but nothing special. Given that there are so many great dining options within a block or two of this site, I don't see the appeal of staying in-hotel for dinner. read more

Good food actually I was pretty surprised about it. Kinda knew walking in service would be horrible and it was. I don't understand how such a profitable hotel could have such horrible service and be understaffed. I don't get it. 5/10 minutes for a sever to acknowledge us WITH a reservation. You'll get inconsistent results here but the service is probably going to be weak. Manager didn't know who's food was who's when he came over. read more

I went to JP Charlotte with my coworkers. We were attending a conference in the hotel and decided on this location for lunch/brunch. We ordered our food and drinks. The drinks came but were extremely late and the glasses were filthy (old lipstick residue). We sent them back. They were given to us when we were finished with our meal (they ended up not charging us for it). Three of us ordered meals that included toast. Our toast never came. I asked for it and it was cold and hard. I understand that they were unprepared for so many people who were there for the conference but that's never an excuse. Our waitress never checked on us and the whole experience was so disappointing. As a plus the food was good but the service was extremely disappointing. I paid in cash and the waitress (Tina) tried to keep the change without my permission. I definitely don't recommend this place on a busy day. read more

This is a great restaurant in the Westin hotel. It has a sophisticated sheek look. It was very clean and the staff were pleasant as well as attentive. It wasn't too crowded. The setting was comfortable. I came for the tapas week. On a Friday afternoon they typically have a band, but they had a whiskey sampling instead. The whiskey was a pleasant surprise. We were educated on the style brand and process and allowed three different shots. The Beloach ( I may have spelled this wrong) California wine was lovely. It was recommended by our server. Great recommendation. As the evening progressed they came over and lit a fire on our table. Muhammad really tried to make sure the fire was nice. He did a great job. We ordered the pork belly tacos and scallop appetizers. I am a big foodie and loved both dishes. The tacos were flavorful and delicious. The scallop was well presented and melted in your mouth like butter. It was a nice element for our evening. The staff went above and beyond my expectation. It was my friends birthday and they presented her with a delectable chocolate cake that was huge. I will definitely return and highly recommend. read more

Ick!!!!! We came here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. We were a larger party and we were seated in the back room. For some reason the room felt very drab and I was not interested in being there. The server came in immediately saying we should try the broccoli soup...so that's what I ordered. 30 minutes later he comes back with a sample of another soup saying "we don't have broccoli soup we only have portobello". I was not interested. My coworker got the tomato bisque which looked like ragu. The Caesar salad was bland. I won't be back. I expected so much more from the Westin. I won't be back. read more

I ordered the special. It was a crispy fried half-chicken with a cassoulet of beans and kale. So fabulous and so yummy! Service good. Mohamed is the best, v attentive. Love this place! Back two nights later and food and wine is just as great as the first time. Seated in Mohamed's area again. It is a pleasure to be here! Service is the best! Mohamed is v personable. read more

Come here often for good breakfast with no wait time on the weekends. They offer a full buffet with an omelette station with juice/coffee included for $23. It's good deal considering the pancakes alone are $15, however I stay away from the buffet due to the temptation to overeat. The coffee is great and service is short and sweet but effective. Cons: potatoes tend to be undercooked and not crispy!!! They don't validate parking. read more

I've grown to really enjoy this restaurant after traveling to the hotel for over a year. It's a nice spot to have a quiet meal with colleagues or alone while staying at the hotel with rotating specials and the ability to get a scoop of ice cream as a regular indulgence. Natasha is very friendly and professional whether she's the hostess or a waitress (or occasionally at the coffee station in the morning). read more

Due to an odd string of events, the fella and I ended up here for brunch before the Panthers game this Saturday. Especially compared to other hotel restaurants, I thought JP Charlotte was a little lackluster. I ordered an omelet and potatoes, and they were pretty basic but two times what basic eggs, potatoes, and cheese should cost. The mimosa I had was pretty much just orange juice (fresh squeezed orange juice nonetheless, but I want to taste the bubbly). The fella also had an okay experience with their breakfast sandwich. The advertised "Texas toast" was just your average sandwich bread toast. Overall, nothing bad but nothing worth coming for here! The bar next door was popping prior to the game, though. I'd go there on another Sunday. read more

I'm in Charlotte and their was a a football game so I didn't want to go out in that madness. I decided to eat in the hotel which is usually overpriced for average food.

Love the nice atmosphere and decor at this restaurant, just inside the Westin hotel. My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here last night. The tuna nachos were truly awesome. I got the blue crab flatbread and my husband ordered the short rib pot pie, both entrees were very tasty. The service was above and beyond excellent. Our server was a delightful young lady named Korin. I can't say enough about how knowledgeable she was about the menu, and very personable. The restaurant manager Oatis Smith stopped by our table introduced himself, and ask if everything was to our satisfaction. I love when a restaurant cares about their customers. Sometimes this is all to rare! All in all, a wonderful dining and experience! read more

JP restaurant is inside the Westin on the first floor. Great chefs, Brianna and Jordan. Salmon tonight, deviled eggs at happy hour today, scallops last night. All excellent. Scallops and eggs best I've had anywhere, salmon one of the best. Great and very attentive wait staff. Wait staff and chefs very accomodating of my food allergies. This restaurant is a real asset to the Westin. I even enjoyed their upbeat music in the restaurant. Decor well done as well. Portions slightly small but price is a good value. If I'm back in Charlotte, this place is a come back! read more

We had a party of 9 and were seated promptly. The décor is upscale and the food is good but not special. The problem was the service, I was not impressed. I had difficulty understanding the waiter and he was mostly inattentive. After reading the Yelp reviews, I was expecting more. Charlotte has many great restaurants in the uptown area so I would not return to the Westin. read more

It was convenient so it was the obvious choice. It was above average food and service for a hotel breakfast. The hostess went above and beyond and waited on us at certain times. I got a biscuit Benedict and it was good. It was a departure from the conventional but still good. Outside of the biscuit itself everything else was expected for an eggs Benedict. If you're in the Westin it's a freeroll. read more

We tried JP's for Valentine's Day. They did not disappoint at all!! Our service was EXCELLENT and our food was AMAZING! They weren't kidding when they said it was an experience. Our server, Mark E, did an exceptional job describing the menu items and suggesting the perfect cocktail pairings for us. He also was very attentive but not hovering over us. Excellent job! Thank you. I honestly feel when you have excellent service it only adds to your dining experience. He truly enhanced the DELICIOUS food we received. Oh and we also received complimentary champagne to toast our romantic dinner which was a plus! The food....I honestly cannot even find the words to describe how impeccable the food was. It truly was an outstanding experience that I highly recommend and I cannot wait to return to this beautiful restaurant. Hopefully you can see what I'm talking about from my pics and the menu descriptions. The ambience was also perfect!

So, the food is really good. A well-edited and inventive take on local specialties. The problem is, the place seems to be under the control of an evil computer system. I am Not Kidding. Due to some glitch we could not be seated even tho the place was about half empty. And the orders are slow to arrive and appear in a random way. So, westin, please hear this, your system is hurting your sales and I bet this isn't the first time you've been told that. Please bring it up to the quality of the food! read more

After a late afternoon flight into Charlotte we wanted a quick place to eat some good food. Decided to try out JP in our hotel. Service was extremely poor. The waiter kept going to other tables. After finally getting some water and placing our order we proceeded to wait over an hour for salmon and a cheeseburger. Tables around us were being served before us yet arrived after us. The manager apologized to us and an excuse was made that our food took so long because the restaurant also takes care of room service. When our food finally arrived the cheeseburger meal was incorrect and the salmon meal had raw Brussel sprouts. We were glad to get out of there and did not revisit the restaurant while in Charlotte. There are so many other choices in this great city! read more

Fun Menu! Our food was great, our service wasn't. I'm not sure we would have ever been waited on if what looked to be the manager had not came and took our order. It wasn't that busy and they appeared to have plenty of help. No one ever refreshed our drinks. And then when we left they gave us a parking validation code that didn't work. It's really too bad because the food was really good. read more

My sister, her son, and I stayed at the Westin Charlotte during Mother's Day weekend. The Luggage Attendant, Socrates was so kind and careful in managing our luggage as we prepared to go to our rooms - what a respectful and courteous gentleman. We dined at the JP Charlotte Restaurant for a fantastic experience with Hak. I was impressed by all of the Staff within the hotel, even when we booked our reservations late the staff was willing to arrange for us to have adjoining rooms. The Maids made sure our rooms were immaculate on a daily basis and the Receptionist was friendly and extremely help. The overall high standard and the exceptional service from the Staff was outstanding! We have decided to return every Mother's Day and for anytime we want to relax and get away from our busy lives. At our next visit, we will invite other family members and friends to join us. A special than you to LAZ Parking as well! Again, thank you Martha, Danielle, Renita, Suella, Tramayne K., and Brittiney W. Sincerely, Maxi B read more

I have never have sent a steak back until I ate here. I got the ribeye it was not even close to medium rare as I ordered it it was super chewy and burnt. It took an hour for a steak and a flatbread and they definitely forgot about my Mac and cheese because they came out 15 minutes after my steak. I do not recommend eating here there are much better places in the area read more

Two stars because the restaurant was beautiful and some of the food was decent. But will definitely not be returning. Our waitress had zero personality and neglected to tell us that our double cocktails would be charged fully double price. For the amount we were charged for 4 double vodkas, we could have bought a couple gallons of quality vodka! She also neglected to tell us that to add steak to a $9 salad would be an additional $18. The food itself for the price was majorly lacking. 2 people in our party ordered different steaks, both of which were covered in a brown sauce that tasted like cheap packaged pot roast gravy. I am shocked that a chef at a restaurant of this caliber would serve quality meat this way...good meat doesn't need much more than a little salt and pepper, let alone smothered in mystery sauce!! My meal came with what was called "ricotta dumplings and root vegetables" which turned out to be what tasted like bland dough balls and canned peas and carrots. All smothered in that gross brown sauce. What a joke. The squash risotto with the trout was also majorly lacking in flavor. The kids meals were way overpriced, and $4 for juice? Get real. I will say the crispy brussels were good as well as the johnny cakes. But other than that, never again. Quality food but overpriced with crap flavor and crap service. read more

I'm so upset. Heard amazing things about this place , we had a reservation at 7 and didn't get sat until 745 the restaurant was empty. The host told us there was free champagne, which we weren't mad there wasn't we don't like it, but we looked dumb asking for it at the bar & the bartender saying she has no idea what we are talking about.. the bartender seemed to judge us because we are younger. But we are all in the service industry and actually really nice. We still kept our cool tipped well on our drink. Got sat at our table and waited almost 20 minutes for someone to come over, our server was very busy we were not upset with him. I believe he gives great service but this place is not ran well. The table text to us waited longer then us from their server to even get a chiller for their champagne. I expect the service I give to others. This place was a mess. I will not be back. We are now 1 hour over our reservation and still haven't even gotten water. It's not okay. happy new year! read more
