Great breakfast though the potatoes are pretty salty. Loved the sourdough bread.

This is the #142nd restaurant I have dined at in New Haven.
The hotel wasn't busy at lunch time. I ordered a haus burger with local soda which were both good. For just over $20 I got to enjoy the atmosphere of a well-lit hotel hall while eating. The waitress was very nice and served the food with great dexterity.

Worst food and drink in quite sometime! VERY small menu and what they offer isn’t worth the visit, save your time and visit another restaurant in New Haven - too many good options to waste your money here!! I’m not sure your limited menu or the fact that you’re getting ready for restaurant week has anything to do with the quality of the food and the drinks? The salad was dry over stuffed for the bowl not mixed and inedible the sweet vodka martini was straight vodka, and vermouth. The margarita tasted like lime water?

Made us sit for 40 minutes and they forgot to put the order in. Everyone that came in after us was served. There were 20 people there, it was not busy.

I had breakfast at BLDG, located inside the Marcel Hotel, and it was such a pleasant experience. I ordered the BLDG breakfast plate, and everything came out hot, fresh, and flavorful. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly, the bacon was crisp and well-cooked, and the eggs were done just right. The toast was a little firm to chew, but it was nicely toasted and came with delicious whipped butter, which was a nice touch.
The service stood out — friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. I also really appreciated that some of the food items were locally sourced, which the menu highlights. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal.
Overall, both the food and the service were excellent. I’d definitely recommend BLDG for anyone looking for a quality breakfast in a quiet, comfortable setting.

I suggested BLDG as a place to meetup after work. I loved the atmosphere, ambiance, and attentiveness of the service staff. I wasn't impressed with the food. The brisket sandwich was very tough and couldn't be eaten without a fork and knife. There were a couple of flies around, one ended up in my drink. The service was very professional, understanding, and accommodating. I feel like going forward if I were to return I would come here for a couple of drinks but skip on the food.
My wife and I stayed at Hotel Marcel for Quinnipiac family orientation and ate breakfast and dinner at BLDG. Food tasted great and was artfully plated. Highly recommend their bacon old-fashioned cocktail!

Stayed at the hotel Marcel to admire its architecture but was pleasantly surprised by the hotel restaurant.
Service was great and food exceeded expectations. Spring onion galette comes highly recommended.

Better than expected hotel restaurant for breakfast. Only had breakfast so don't know about lunch/dinner. The drip coffee was surprisingly good! Service for breakfast was slow - this was a business trip and I was lucky that my colleague was running late. There is takeout at the bar. Skip ordering poached eggs - mine were definitely too hard - the waitress offered to have them remade but given how long they took that was unrealistic. I still like eggs even if they're not as ordered...

The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the staff was very accommodating. We needed a late reservation for 10 due to college graduation. They graciously accommodated our group despite the closing time. The brunch menu was varied and the service was attentive. We had a lovely celebration, thank you!
