Food was just okay. I wish 3.5 was an option as a rating. I Took my staff here for a dinner retreat. Our server was very nice and helpful. The food & drinks however, were just "ok". Presentation, I'd say was the strongest attribute, but flavor seemed to be an issue for all of my colleagues across the board. One person had to send the steak back be because it was cold. Two other short ribs were overcooked. Spinach was super flavorful and cooked quite nicely.They seem to function as a restaurant that just opened and is still figuring it out. Great potential, but I expected more given their pricing.Cappuccinos were very good.

Interestingly, we found Alizee’s dining room empty at 6pm on a Friday. As a result, acoustics were horrible. The restaurant’s floors and walls consist of tile, so the noise coming from the bar and lobby create an echo chamber. The restaurant installed lots of tacky green hedges in an attempt to counteract the effect; however, it doesn’t work.Our server also doubled as the bartender. Given that he also had to mind the bar, he did a good job. The food took an unusually long time to come to the table after ordering. On the plus side, everyone at the table enjoyed the quality of their food.The cheesesteak sub was made from filet mignon (if you don’t want it cooked medium rare, you’ll need to specify). The crab cakes here had very little filler, were flavorful, and made with jumbo lump crabmeat.We speculated that the hotel room service orders keep this restaurant in business. This establishment is definitely not a destination restaurant. However, if you’re staying in the hotel, do come here for a tasty meal.

There was a mouse running around the restaurant while we were there. The food was cold. It cost $20 per adult.

Overall I was unimpressed, very disappointed. We decided to try it because it was restaurant week. A friend of mine ordered the crab deviled eggs and the crab wasn’t placed on her app and it was bought out in a condiment cup instead. Eggs were under seasoned and had way too much Dijon mustard. I ordered fries as an additional starter with the contingency upon malt vinegar being available it was bought out and inedible because it is expired (pictured below). My sister ordered the quinoa salad which was pretty but taste wise disappointing. Wasn’t enough dressing and the quinoa wasn’t seasoned…. Not enough cheese on the salad if the grain was going to be bland. The food was not hot for the amount of time we waited. Also the plates weren’t heated which cooled my meal done a great deal. The Demi tasted like it was from a pack and the ribs had a good taste but were way overcooked potatoes had no garlic in them. The highlight was the drinks we ordered and the mousse cake. The server was pleasant but I won’t be back.

Went on restaurant week. Place was 2/3 empty, but we had to wait exactly 1h to get our appetizers.The waiter apologized stating that they have too many carry out orders. Than another 25min to get a good quality meat but with ice cold sides. DO NOT GO THERE, IT IS NOT WORTH-ED

Came in on 01/31/23 at 10:30am. After having great service at the hotel i thought to stop for breakfast. The service I have received upon arrival at the restaurant made me regret my decision. The waitress with blond and curly hair would not even great us or look at us as we ordered. When placing our orders she was rude in tone and not welcoming at all. Will not be returning because of her. My mom has also had a headache and the lady was so rude to her. And proceeded to drag a large trolley making ruckus and making my mothers headache more severe.

I am staying at the Hilton Doubletree and had Room Service from Alizee and it was amazing! I had the Veggie Quesadilla, the Pasta Alfredo (couldn't finish it was enough for two!) and the Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette! So fresh and delicious! Arrived to my room hot and faster than they'd promised. The staff here are so courteous and friendly. I definitely recommend Alizee whether staying at the Hilton or just visiting the area!

The restaurant was supposed to be open for dinner. We were staying in the hotel and looking forward to a meal after touring in the heat. The only worker was a person who was bartending an event. No orders could be placed. When we tried later at 9:30pm the person who was still tending bar said that the kitchen was closed. The restaurant was supposed to be open until 10pm...as was room service...through the restaurant.

My wife and I, along with our daughter who has some pretty serious food allergies (including celiac), just stayed at the Colonnade for two nights, and had breakfast at Alizee both mornings. Because of her allergies, when travelling, our daughter very often has to eat meals that are very basic, with little or no spice or sauce, or from a very restricted gluten-free, dairy-free menu selection. When she told our server about her allergies, chef Ricky Ricardo (yes, that's his name!) came out to speak with her, to find out what she would like, and what ingredients needed to be avoided. (Ricky was clearly knowledgeable and well-versed about food allergies.) When our meals arrived, instead of a severely stripped-down version of breakfast, our daughter received the same hearty, tasty meal we got, just without anything that could have caused her harm. The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Thank you, Ricky and team!
I eat here at least 2 times a month sometimes more mostly on a Friday between 6-7 p.m.The host or the chef always greet me kindness and with open arms. The service is great the food is excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone & everyone.

I guess the chicken Alfredo wasn't terrible. Sandwich was.

I’d like to like this place, but really, I don’t. It is the restaurant in the Doubletree Inn at the Colonnade, a hotel I recommend otherwise. It isn’t that there is anything downright bad about Alizee American Bistro. The service is generally good. Depending on your mood and taste, the ambiance is dark and gloomy or subdued and intimate. I suspect, though, that most of the people who come here are not on date night. We come for the food. This is the same heavy, over-seasoned, out-of-the-freezer fare that we can find in a thousand other mid-price hotel restaurants. Cheeseburger anyone?

Came in for a quick Bite last night, It was pretty Crowded, little did I Know they had 1/2 off on Burgers every Sunday, I sat at the bar and Terrance took good care of me, Gotta Say he makes some really good Old Fashioned, funny guy i gotta say! for Dinner I had the Memphis BBQ Short Ribs, comes with vegetables and Grits and what a treat. Would Recommend!
