    Very clean restaurant, food was good. I didn't snap a pic of the qusadilla and the breakfast sandwich we got, but I was extremely satisfied and would have loved to go back if we were in town longer. I got the French toast for my son and ate a good portion of it myself, lol.

    Be aware you have to order at the counter, this means if you walk in from the street you actually should go to the back where they have the counter, it is very oriented towards the hotel guests, i visited the place twice and both times i saw people comming in from the street.. waiting to be seated but noone payed attention to them so they ended up leaving.. ( the restaurant was aprox 50% full) to add to the confusion they had two menu cards, one for outsiders and one for hotel guests.. the food is ok, i had breakfast buritto. Nice clean interior, the staff seems friendly and serviceminded once you get their attention… but since this is a part of marriott i did expect more…

    Below average food quality for basic bar type food. But even worse service - very slow, food arrived late, appetizer arrived with meal, and waiter was never to be seen until we asked for check. Burger was over cooked, crispy Brussel sprouts were mushy, and chicken wings were bland & overcooked. There are likely better options in the area vs a hotel bar/restaurant. I would not recommend at all.

    The service here is abysmal. Literally non existent. We walked in, stood by the sign that said, ‘please wait to be seated.’ There was no one there. There were 2 bartenders behind the bar, neither of them greeted us, or said anything. There were 4 people in the entire establishment. A patron said, sit anywhere. K. We do. Waited for 6 min. Servers come in and out the kitchen, never greeted us. The same patron was like, oh, if you see someone just, “flag them down.” Are you joking?? We left. Went next door to the Lb taco co, (which was packed) and had exceptional service. Glad we did, already know it tasted heads and shoulders better than hotel hot dogs.

    Pretty chill atmosphere with a great wait staff. They know the food options here and provide great recommendations. I got the Brunch Burger and it was amazing! I like my burgers a certain way, and I wasn't sure I was going to like this burger, but it had so many different flavors hitting your palette that it was a tornado of goodness! Definitely recommend!

    Excellent cocktails and our waiter was very attentive. The food was mostly good as well and we generally enjoyed our dishes. My only qualm was with the spare ribs which was a bit hard on the outside. Otherwise, great flavor, presentation, and overall experience.

    While staying at the Marriott we visited the Bistro Bar. There was live music and a welcoming vibe. Definitely a great place for a meal and dessert. The BLT was delicious and the fries are so tasty and perfectly seasoned, they are skinny, and fried to perfection. The half Caesar salad was the perfect size for a petite eater, and the apple cobbler with ice cream was fantastic! Also, loved the lemon drop drink. Service was quick, kind, and welcoming. Atmosphere was a bit loud, but nbd as it made a person feel happy being in a room filled with music, laughter and chatter.

    Definitely no. The most flavorless food I’ve ever had, it was so bland I couldn’t finish my food without feeling Ill. We had orange juice that tasted moldy too, not sure what that was about. Definitely not coming back. Yikes 😔

    Our server Jesse was amazing! The food and cocktails were also great! Jesse was the server and the bartender. They need more staff but despite the staffing issue Jesse did it all with a great, friendly personality. Cudos Jesse! I will definitely be back.

    Delicious breakfast. Staff are happy to cater to changes. Thanks 😊

  • 4/5 Esteban R. 6 months ago on Google
    Good breakfast spot with an open layout, was disappointed on how my quesadilla tasted, but everything else was good, would stick to the French toast and breakfast sandwiches for this place.

    If your staying at the Marriott don’t waste your time trying to place a mobile order. After several attempts, the Marriott front desk said,”Whoops, sorry Mobile Order doesn’t work” I order a Quesadilla and Apple Cobbler in person and only waited about 10 minutes for my order. The staff were helpful and very friendly. The Chicken, Bacon (?) Quesadilla was good and filling. I may be a bad judge of the Apple Cobbler because I make a Mean Cobbler so to me it was just So So. I tasted a little burnt. Overall food was good. I took it to my room to eat but restaurant looks great!

    My wife and I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott and stopped in at this restaurant. We had a wonderful dinner with a wonderful selection of food options and drinks. But our bartender Jesse was over the top!! Was busy but food was great(wings/Caesar salad with grilled chicken) and Jesse gave some suggestions on when to request Uber not around serge rates. They had live music, which was awesome (played a lot of Santana, guitar). On the next trip out, will be looking forward to having a few drinks and dinner here!! Thanks so much.

    This was our first time eating here and the atmosphere was very pleasant and the inside was very nicely decorated. The food was excellent and the staff were very pleasant. One of the bonus I really liked about this place was that you can have your dogs on the patio.

    Their burger is FRIGGIN DELICIOUS!!!! Like really Really really good!! Hubby ordered the burger and although my quinoa bowl with chicken was tasty, that burger was amazing!!!! Nice outdoor dining as well.

  • 3/5 Tanya W. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was expensive and not very tasty. We ordered the churrasco steak and it tough and small portions for the $27ish price. Was not seasoned well at all. Atmosphere was nice and staff was friendly, food just wasn’t good.

  • 3/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    Was absolutely shocked with the lack of taste with the burger, and would describe as almost eating air. The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is because the bartender discounted the burger because I mentioned how disappointed I was. I ate the whole thing because I was too stubborn to send back honestly.

  • 2/5 Ian R. 1 year ago on Google
    Just bland. Essentially a Dennys sodium bomb breakfast with a markup. I'm especially pumped i had to tip before i got my food, and they put the personal touch of forgetting to bring some of it. Really sells the Marriott experience.

  • 4/5 Thomas S. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing! I had the trout in a curry sauce... it was incredible!! Fresh and had a salmon like quality. For desert the Strawberry and Crumbs... it's insanely phenomenal!! The only reason I didn't do 5 stars...the service was off. Slow and well.... slow for the quality of food to me. If they fix the service issues... then a 5! Go for the menu...it's delicious!

    Not great. First we couldn't even get into the place, the door was shut where there's both stairs and a ramp leading to what you think would be the opening, had to find our way in through the hotel entrance. Had to order at the bar instead of having someone to come and take your order. Ordered the bistro breakfast, came with no toast or bread for the eggs but oddly with a side of lettuce? Haha. Coffee was pretty poor as well, I felt the server behind the bar was potentially getting frustrated with my accent/not being able to understand me. My coffee order was wrong. Unfortunately there's a lot of great places in the area to go for breakfast so I probably won't be back to this one.

  • 5/5 Joann M. 1 year ago on Google
    The selection of appetizers are phenomenal. The brussel sprouts and baked brie were amazing. The impossible patty melt made me melt. The staff were attentive, the drinks great, and the vibe of the whole place was something I'll always want to return to!

  • 5/5 Janet N. 2 years ago on Google
    This hotel and bar could not be more welcoming and friendly - And, I'm from the South so that is high praise indeed!! Jessie was our waiter and he was patient and amazing to 7 crazy Cajun ladies. Stephen checked us in at front desk and I just LOVE LOVE him - cannot say enough good things. You really gotta try this place. I live in Louisiana and would come back just to stay here again!!

  • 5/5 Rick P. 1 year ago on Google
    I just had the most surprisingly delicious burger at this place during my stay at the hotel next door. It's a nice bar, but I expected a generic frozen burger. What I got was a perfectly done and flavorful burger with some awesome fries alongside it. Bartender and the cook were friendly and attentive as well. Def recommend the Bistro Burger. Forgot to take a pic as I just ate it too fast.
