Everything was beyond good, but the server at the end of the night, didn't know who's drinks/food was who's and it took over a half hour for 6 of us to pay by the time she got the bills correct. I think better tracking on her part is all

Very friendly staff and delicious food! It's a great place to sit back and enjoy yourself before starting a vacation!

Our flight to Cabo was detoured to Edmonton a few weeks ago. It wasn’t so bad after we walked into this beautiful hotel.
The front desk staff were extremely helpful and went out their way to accommodate our group - Thank you!
Halo was the obvious choice for our early dinner. The room was gorgeous, the food was divine, and Ruheen’s service was world class!! Her food & beverage suggestions were all, on point!
Many thanks to each and every one of you that made our now 2 day trip to Cabo, so enjoyable! 🙏🏼

For convenience sake, my family and I planned a one night stay at the Renaissance before our very early morning flight. We decided to arrive early to have drinks and dinner at Halo Bar and Bistro and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is very cozy, warm, and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. We very comfortably sat there for over 3 hours! The menu offers a great variety of dishes, even for us as celiacs, and everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The chefs obviously take a lot of care in the quality and details of their dishes.

A special shoutout to our server, Erika, who made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and offered excellent recommendations. Her service was impeccable — she truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

And thanks to JP the bartender for mixing us up some delicious margaritas!

I highly recommend Halo Bar and Bistro for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for celiacs… there’s even 3 different GF desserts! Of course we had to try all of them 😋😋😋

It was my first time to Halo, staff accommodated our seating preference once we arrived. The food was hot and delicious and the portions were big enough to share. At 6pm they came out with a cocktail cart and made everyone a delicious lavender lemonade gin drink. They also had the oilers game playing on the big screen as we watched from the cozy blue velvet couches. Our waitress was bubbly and friendly! Will be back!

I celebrated my 45th birthday here with my husband... the guest attendant said i don't look 45, maybe 25, so from that I am already liking it there. Lol. Kidding aside, at first we thought the place was quite and looks empty, it was around 4pm, we thought it's going to be boring. But after few minutes the room was full and alive with people and music playing at the background. Then people became noisy. We enjoyed our meal, the steak was great, yes, it was $72 rib eye steak but so juicy and tasty.. I even got a birthday dessert on the house! Excellent customer service by our attendant, shout out to Ruheen! She is friendly, attentive and presentable.

I used to love Halo. But the food and atmosphere have really gone downhill. A very disappointing experience.

Ordering uber eats was better, dine in not that much

It looks nice. Thought it was strange we were gonna sit on couches for supper. Preferred a table. Had the brussel sprouts and wings to start. They were good. Had the burger and friends had the fish and chip and the butter chicken. One felt the fish was just ok. The other thought her butter dish was very spicy. Burger again just ok. Half of the bathrooms look nice the other half felt like a Brothel. Our server was poilte and tentative. I wouldn't be running back. Overall just ok.

The food was ok, the service was exceptional. The turn around time for keeping the place clean was very slow. Our server was great but the tables around us remained dirty for a long time.

My sister and I went to their Tea and Tarot experience yesterday and we had such a great time. The food was amazing, the service was phenomenal and the tarot reading was excellent. We have already looked up their future events and are planning on going to the 7 paintings event as the menu looks so delicious. If you have not yet checked out their website you definitely should as this is a must try venue and even though it is by the airport it is definitely worth the drive.

The parking is paid and a bit wonky to figure out. If not careful you can end up in staff parking so be wary you're in the right lot. Food was alright albeit nothing special. Variety of choices was alright. Prices were pretty abysmal in the sense that they were steep. Definitely seem to be taking advantage of the fact that people don't know comparable pricing for the area as they are travelling or tourists. Seating for a larger group (8 or more) is a bit split up, but you'll be in the same area but not all at one table. Wheelchair accessible with elevators and washrooms easily accessible as well.

Parking: The staff lot is next to the hotel parking lot, watch for signage at the entrance to make sure you're in the right area. If you don't get a ticket at the gate, wrong entrance

Food is reasonable but perhaps don’t use their in room ordering service as it is completely unpredictable and unreliable. Order one they prepared the food an hour early to what was requested. Order two came as in room dining when I had requested pick up. Both times they insisted the error must be on my end until I showed them my order on my phone. Either remove the service altogether or pick up your game please.

Following a flight cancellation we discovered this hotel and had lunch then dinner at the Halo bar/restaurant. It was a perfect experience! The food is delicious (special mention for the fried coconut tofu) and the service is very friendly. I recommend ! The portions are generous and the products are fresh, so very good value for money! You couldn't ask for better when you have to spend two whole days at the airport waiting for a new plane.
