“Best happy hour in the city ... daily, 5-7pm! Enjoy delicious half price small plates and drink specials. Calamari, dumplings, tacos were all excellent. Really the best tacos around, and I've tried many places. Even the broccolini was spectacular! The chef here hits it out of the park. Can't recommend this place enough. I hope you'll support this local gem.“

“We had a great meal here! We got the Mediterranean bowl and the salmon bowl. The salmon was perfectly good and both meals were very flavourful. Our server was friendly. My only complaint would be that we waited 40min after our hummus appetizer came out to receive our food - not a big deal but just a little annoying considering it wasn’t very busy.“

Breakfast Flatbread

“While staying at the Courtyard by Marriott and seeing good reviews of the Bistro, we came here on the last day for breakfast.The food was overall ok. The flatbread was especially great. The burrito was a bit tough (the tortilla was a bit over toasted/grilled).In the photos I’m also showing the normal French toast vs. the kids menu French toast.The service was great. Staff was friendly.The restaurant is open concept located on the ground floor adjacent to the hotel seating area.Overall a good choice for breakfast.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid menu (although not displayed on the main menu)“

“I have celiac so this is a chain I can have roast chicken and sauce. Roasted chicken without sauce is just not the same. That said it makes for a very empty plate and unfortunately the restaurant is not vey generous with the fries even though they don’t need to provide a bun. As a result, I’m still a little hungry when I leave (not the first time this has happened). A half chicken would be too much food so I wish they would at least provide more in terms of qty for the side dish, in this case fries, with the quarter chicken.

Atmosphere was fine but a portion of the restaurant needs some TLC.

Feriyal was our server and she was great.“
