"The fresh fruit was horrible! It was not ripe and tasted like a refrigerator. The staff were terrific and made the meeting work."

"A lovely little spot in the Hotel W in San Diego. We weren't expecting much from a hotel restaurant and so were pleasantly surprised by the service and food. I think we were the only people there so I guess no one knows how nice kelvin is. Give it a try!"

"This is in the W Hotel and recently remodeled which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It has good food and service and there is a lot of different colored, subdued lighting. Some may not like some of the food items but everything we have ever tried we enjoyed, worth the effort to try."

"Although we dined there on Valentine's Day with a special three course menu, the choices were great and the food was wonderful!
I took the time to glance at their regular menu and I will definately go back to try it again."

"January 10-Feb 10 '13 is SPG restaurant month (mark that for next year!) and they have special SPG menu that was a great value. The decor is very contemporary and the food was excellent - especially recommend the Poblano corn chowder with popcorn.
Unfortunately for pet lovers you can not have pets on the their outdoor patio. Lets put the "W" back in Woof!"
