Feedback
The Commentary at the Westin offers a mix of experiences, from disappointing no-shows to fantastic service. While some guests were put off by the lack of staff and chaotic atmosphere, others enjoyed a quiet anniversary celebration with great food and drinks. The limited menu received mixed reviews, but the cocktails and unique dishes were universally praised. The restaurant's location within the hotel presented challenges for some, but the cozy atmosphere and attentive service from staff like Ben left a positive impression. Overall, The Commentary offers a diverse dining experience for visitors to Arlington.
This was a new adventure for us. The service and timing lacks badly. WE watched a server, bartender, and manager stand a talk for almost before being seated. At that point we waited another before being greeted and asked for any type of order. They ONLY had one other party so being busy wasn't an excuse. Once we finally got food, the experience was good. We enjoyed our offerings as well as the beverage. The biggest downfall here is the service. We watched group leave after waiting so long
Went to the pizza making &cocktail class with a group of friends. Loved the experience, the atmosphere and the employees. Everyone was fun and respectful. Jose was our waiter, he was very professional and easy to talk to. I enjoyed myself so much, I can’t wait to go back. The pizza and cocktails was delicious !! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The Commentary cooking event was an unforgettable experience. I chose this event for my husband and I wedding anniversary. It was equal part fun, inspiring, and delicious. The chef and bartender were engaging and funny. My husband and I are foodiies. We love great food, conversation, and company. The pizza and cocktail was delicious. We plan to attend other cooking events at The Commentary. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
