Gyoza King on Robson (at corner of Nicola St) is fairly inexpensive, good food and fun (casual):

Since you are downtown you are close to a lot of restaurants. I would try Hawksworth for your more expensive meal and Nicli Antica in gastown for pizza (have to get there early or late though). I like the recommendation of Legendary noodle, though I only ate at the Main street location. Also think about brunch/lunch at Patisserie Lebeau for waffles (order the combo).

Do you mean the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver?
Because there is no such hotel in the suburb of West Vancouver-in fact there is no hotel in the whole municipality-only a motel.

You will be close to Denman and Robson, two streets with a fair amount of good food on offer in what is called the West End. I like Santouka for ramen and their specialty pork dish, toroniku. No reservations, very small (lineups) and can be hot inside but worth it.
A little further up is Miko, offering "traditional" sushi (no cream cheese rolls!) and robata dishes. A bit pricey but excellent value and has A/C.
A fun thing to do in the evening is to try a few izakaya. I like Kitanoya Guu with Garlic on Robson and Zakkushi on Denman but those are only two of them. I don't recommend izakaya for lunch though some do serve it.
Nook, La Bretagne Creperie, Acacia Fillo Bar and Cardero Bottega are other places to read up on nearby. The last three would be suitable for lunch.

Also - Legendary Noodle. Not the best of the hand-pulled noodles joint in town, but still a worthy spot within that area. (If you are a Bourdain follower - he did part of his Vancouver show here).
PS...the Vancouver maps' use of the word "West" is confusing even for some Vancouverites. You are staying in the "West End" of downtown. "West Van" is West Vancouver - another municipality over the Lions Gate bridge in the North Shore. And the "West Side" is the area west of Ontario St on the main geographical part of Vancouver proper. Don't get lost!
