Miel Brasserie within the InterContinental hotel is currently under renovations. The hotel does have a makeshift setup in the lobby that serves a continental breakfast, or you can order a la carte to the room, which is what we opted for. The delivery took about a half hour from start to finish, which was great, and our breakfast, while expensive, was outstanding!

If you want a menu that is limited and extremely overpriced, this is the place for you.

You can get good food a lot of places, superior service on the other hand is a different story. I keep going back because of the service. Thank you Nicco, Steven, Georgina, Ivy, Armstrong, Mohammad. I appreciate you! I'll be back!

The thanksgiving buffet was absolutely amazing. If they can get a buffet of that size right, the rest of the time must be great. Meat was top quality. Desserts were off the hook. Wait staff were great. Ask for NICO!

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. Though some of the dishes were truly delicious...most of the food was room temperature. There weren't really many classic thanksgiving sides, but the cheese roast potato's were awesome and the acorn squash soup was to die for. All the meat was room temp and had clearly been out for a while. The bread table...all the bread was hard and not flavorful at all. Another concern as someone who has nut allergies, the ice cream station, the server used one scoop for three different flavours including one with nuts. When I asked if he could get a fresh one to get a flavour without nuts he said no. Our waiter was super sweet but very busy. Definitely not worth the $120 price tag. Wouldn't go back.

This review is for the Thanksgiving buffet experience *ONLY*. Ambiance was nice and quiet. Staff was nice, and took dishes away quickly. Food tasted, for the most part good, or great, even. However, virtually every dish you would expect to be hot/warm was cold or just barely above that. Yes, even the stuff at the carving station. What also surprised me was the fact that *every* dish there terribly overdone and very dry. On top of that, the taste? Mediocre, at best. Really wasn't a fan of the salmon, even though I usually love it. The hot chocolate and apple cider? Both lukewarm, unfortunately, with the hot chocolate being more like hot chocolate syrup instead. Man, that stuff was heavy. The roasted brussels sprouts were not, in fact, roasted. Or at least they did not appear to be. More like just lightly cooked and seasoned. The list goes on. At 120 a head, forgive me for expecting my food to be hot and not overdone (or in the case of the brussels sprouts, not cooked enough). I get that we are paying a bit more for the convenience and the staff taking time away from their families during this holiday, but I honestly feel like for what I and my family got, price per head should've been perhaps a bit more than half of what was charged. So, I will say this. If the food had been hot, not over/under cooked, I would have far less to complain about. As stated before, for the most part, the food tasted good/fine. If Miel addresses the aforementioned issues next year, I'm sure there would be very little to complain about.

I went for their Thanksgiving day buffet. Lovely and bountiful food presentation. Unfortunately the food was cold, and the stuffing and potatoes had no flavor. Dessert table was the best. Wonderful variety. Service was top notch-Nico made my holiday meal extra special. Dining room is spacious and with the large windows overlooking the water, on a sunny day the room is bright and it's a nice view.

My meal was delicious, but the quality of service I received was unacceptable. Despite the unambiguous description that potatoes are included with the breakfast sandwich, the young man who attended to me as a guest reluctantly gave me the potatoes while being argumentative with me about the menu and what he understands is included. He was unprofessional, and his level of service did not match the high quality of service I otherwise received from the hotel's staff for the duration of my stay. I hope the food and beverage manager takes corrective action so future guests do not experience similar poor service in the future.

The menu lacked variety and for a Saturday evening at 7 PM there was no atmosphere or energy in the space. Drink menu had nothing to speak of, no variety nothing that caught your attention
The food was amazing, so much flavor! I had the sea scallops and my husband the Chicken. The menu is small but if everything on it is tasty ; for sure we will keep coming back. The ambiance is unfortunately not special. It needs some « energy « and je ne sais quoi !

the kitchen was clearly not in a competent state. the rolls came out cold and rock hard nearly inedible. the clam chowder would need to be rated worse in Boston. it is sad since i had one of the more memorable dinners at Miel the last time i visited. I can't recommend. richard

Miel was a wonderful place to have a quiet lunch. The food was delicious and beautifully plated. The servers were polite and didn't come over more often than necessary. I would highly recommend this restaurant...in fact, I already have to a multiple coworkers! 11/10 experience.

We enjoyed a late afternoon snack on the outside patio along the waterfront. The food and service was perfect. We enjoyed and tasted classics, French onion soup ( French restaurant duh! ), New England clam chowder (loaded!) and Cesar salads. We added a fig and goat cheese flatbread too and that was delicious!
