With columns, formal furnishings, heavy fabric and numerous chandeliers, the appearance of Sid's can be off-putting. It's hard to tell if it's a relic of the past, or a relic of fine dining "from" the past. Neither! Sid's is just a comfortable restaurant that occupies what was once a baccarat room.
Our server Marie was kind, friendly, and absolutely on point. I always ask servers what they recommend and/or their preference between this and that, and Marie was very helpful. I think it was lunch time (or at least daytime) and I ordered the Reuben (very good :) and my husband ordered the hot pastrami (equally good).
The portions were larger than either of us could finish so we took our leftovers only to realize our room (at the Westgate) had no fridge. That's right. No. Fridge. Two more bites and then garbage.
If you're staying at the Westgate there are few dining options. Give Sid's a try. And if you love Reuben's or hot pastrami's, definitely order one!
