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.

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.

Staff is great. It’s hotel bistro food. I’ve eaten here a couple times in the last few weeks during their Thursday night trivia…and I don’t remember what I ate. Trivia is fun though. Brittany is the best.

Menu had a pretty good selection for a small hotel bistro. People have been very helpful and friendly.
