What People Are Saying About The Backyard at The W Hotel
Featured Review

In Short – Famed "Queer Eye" designer Thom Felicia has transformed the W Hotel's popular cafe-bar into a sexy outdoor lounge. The lush landscape of palm trees, bamboo and waterfalls offers an escape from the city rush. Located beside the hotel's pool, the casually dressed come to relax on colorful lime cushions or sunbathe on chocolate-toned lounges. Most come to sip signature cocktails including the popular pineapple and ginger martini. The simple and light American cuisine offers a great snack including the albacore tuna sandwich with a zesty aioli. Often prepared with local produce,…

Great ambiance
by patriciajameson16
I went here to meet some clients and they just loved the place. The ambiance is amazing and the food is not bad too. The place is so relaxing that I forgot that I went there because of work. The staff was very accommodating. I'm definitely bringing my family for weekend brunch and Im really sure they will like the place too :)

Best Salmon Burger and Truffle Pizza Ever
by JuliaLeopard
Great decor and service.
Went there for an early lunch and ordered the Salmon Burger while my stepmom ordered the chopped salad with shrimp and we got my dad a grilled cheese and tomato soup to-go. Our food was made very quickly and was the greatest thing ever. The basil-caper sauce on the burger was the best and the bread was just burnt enough to be soft but crunchy on the sides. Since it's right outside the W Hotel, we came back that night and had dinner there. Then we ordered the truffle oil pizza and some sliders. AMAZING!
Pros: GREAT salmon burger, nice decor, great service, no waits, good food and coffee.
Cons: A little pricey.

Brunch
by smith267
Honestly I loved their brunch menu it had something for everyone, plus they had their "hangover brunch" which was filled with spicy and amazing favorites that would cure anything. but really my favorite thing was the custom bloody marys...they come to your table and make it how you like it... the food is always perfectly cooked and the service isnt too overbearing. its so nice to be outside in the sun and having a meal just how you like it. Get anything on the menu with eggs, they are always cooked to order... as you can tell i go all the time its worth the drive no matter where you live
- Pros: Great Brunch Menu
