The Bistro at Courtyard by Marriott Downtown

I ordered a Nashville chicken burger and they never communicated that it has blue cheese and it didn't specify on the menu that there was blue cheese, I thought whatever spread that was on it was garlic on it. I informed them. They said they'll keep that mind and they redid my order thankfully. I hope they update what the agulala spread or crumblr is cuz not everyone knows or aware of it.

We ate dinner and breakfast while staying at the hotel for a concert. Both meals were delicious. So convenient and affordable. Staff was great!

First of all, this is some of the friendliest service I've had in the Grand Rapids area. I honestly did not expect much form a hotel restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and attentive the staff was. The dishes can be pretty simple to somewhat unique. The menu is a bit limited, and the chef that wrote it must have a weird fetish with Greek Goddess dressing... It's on almost everything. The salmon board was simple, yet good. The nacho-tots were very good. Plenty of sauce, cooked correctly, and delicious. It's worth a visit!

Cold egg sandwich, 4 pieces of fruit in fruit cup. Table dirty. I will say the cashier was friendly and smiling though. Thats about it. Do better.

The hotel is in dire need of an uplift. I’ve stayed in much nicer hotels for less money!! Sorry we booked our room here.

Great place to get a drink with friends and family and have a bite to eat. The service is very good and the food was great. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I live in the building and visit often. Their fries are amazing and the staff are genuinely friendly. I always enjoy stopping by.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bistro in a hotel so kids are fine being inside. Just don't let your children be a menace.

Wheelchair accessibility: The Bistro is wheelchair accessible.

Had breakfast here after staying a night in the hotel and it was very good and moderately priced. Service was quick and easy restaurant was clean and comfortable. I would definitely eat here again if I was staying in the same hotel.

The Reuben sandwich was not worth the price. There was hardly any meat, and while the fries were good, the take out order limited how many were given.

The atmosphere was great, we had just come from a concert and so had a few other patrons. But the female server/bartender was quite snippy and controlling. She snapped, not loudly just in a tone, at her coworker a few times. If she is training the employee maybe try to coach him or her outside of the guests ear. Also I was talking with a lady and she interrupted our conversation and when I tried saying something, she in a stern tone said, "If you would let me finish then you will know! "The lady and I were talking about the building across the street and the apartments and whatnot. We weren't asking for a "I know everything " tutorial.When I had asked about food she made it seem like they were about to close and I needed to hurry.I get having a long shift and frustration can be overwhelming, but a guest should never be on the receiving end.This post is not to berate her, it's more of awareness statement. Maybe she is burnt-out or something. But I will probably not be back due to the service and the food not being all that great.The male server/bartender was very nice and personal able. Great conversation with him.
