| - OK, here I go again breaking my rule about hotel restaurants but this one is a treat. The atmosphere does reaks of cheezy hotel bar & food joint. However, in all things unassuming this one delivers great appetizers & sushi for the weary traveler.
The balsamic chile shimp appetizer is probably the best thing on the menu. As for soups, Lobster bisque is OK but can at times have the consitency of watered down paste. The gumbo is done well, but not the best in PIT, try the Tap Room at the William Penn (OMNI).
Now, on to sushi, which is the 2nd reason this restaurant deserves a stop. When on the road, a quick beer, good appetizer & sushi are a necessity. What I enjoy most about the sushi here is that it is just plain old sushi, not dresssed up with a butch of cream cheese rolls, sirancha mayo or eel sauce everywhere. Plain ass boring nigiri, sashimi & rolls, which is exactly what I am looking for on the road.
When in doubt on the road, stop by the Westin for dinner (or lunch) at the Fish Market it won't disappoint.
