Boulevard Room Detroit

This restaurant is a convenient option if you're staying at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel, which is where we were during our visit. We dined here on three out of five mornings primarily due to its accessibility. However, the menu felt very much like diet or spa food. It could benefit from more options that cater to those of us who enjoy gluten, fat, and whole eggs. The omelets we tried were bland, and the French toast lacked crispness. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the Bloody Marys, and the restaurant itself has a lovely ambiance with plenty of natural light. However, if I had to choose a breakfast spot that was convenient to the hotel, this wouldn't be my first choice.

I made a reservation for brunch/late breakfast through Open Table but didn't realize it was located in the Westin Hotel, which initially put me off, although the hotel itself is quite lovely. The restaurant was somewhat tricky to find, with winding stairs and escalators. When we arrived, we discovered they were closed and not serving anymore; it seemed they had finished brunch early. However, the manager was incredibly accommodating, offering us the menu and treating us to drinks at the bar. He sincerely apologized for the mix-up regarding our reservation and their early closing. The food at the bar was quite good, and we had the option to order from the Boulevard menu. While I was a little disappointed not to experience the dining area, the hotel-like atmosphere was also quite pleasant, so we were ultimately fine with it.
