The food is expensive, quality is quite poor. Toast is just a plain slice of bread from a supermarket store, you won’t find any artisanal or sourdough bread here. Coffee is plain, and made by a machine. Overall, quality is similar to airplane food.

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)

Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Comes with a side of salsa and guacamole. Was very impressed. Arrived hot. I honestly wasn’t expecting much but was very impressed. Daughter had a breakfast sandwich that looked really good. She said it was very tasty. Manager came by to make sure all was well.

2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 tomatoes slices, 1 toast, and some potatoes for $28. They only let you tip on top of the 13% HST. Making a 20% tip really a 22% tip. Why do I have to tip a percentage of the HST?

Although this is a small lobby restaurant in the Marriott, don't look past their signature Cherry Old Fashioned - wow! A class A cocktail and a wonderful bartender who made them just right ! Ordered Chimichurri steak and there seems to be a difference of opinion on medium rare (mine was bright red even after sending back) but the service (by same named awesome bartender ) was wonderful and truly made our experience the best - i only wish I would have asked her name for this review ! Within all the small restaurants and hotels in this area, we were pleasantly surprised ! We had a great time.

The food was awesome here for breakfast. Eggs anyway means anything, like a high class western omelet,

Went mainly for drinks when I stayed at the hotel - however did have the ravioli once night - great price - only $12 - was very pleased with the dish. Server was lovely and was very professional as she dealt with quite a busy room as there was one large group. She was handling it all by herself. Wine was nice and the other menu choices were nice sounding and reasonably priced.

We mainly just came here to get a quick bite to eat after checking out of the Marriot Hotel. I loved the Grilled Cheese and the dipping sauce was like a zesty, tangy sauce that gave my Grilled Cheese a shake! This bistro has more variety than most, but it is still quite limited. However, the quality is exceptionally good. There is a server, Mike, who has been there for sooo long which he is sweet and a warm conversation. I wasn't too interested in the full menu, just Grilled Cheese is my go-to. Nick got a burger nothing too deep into it. I liked it because it was convenient place to stop by!

We got there early enough on Saturday night to get seats on the balcony/mezzanine above the dance floor with a great view of the band. The acoustics were good--not great--but it was a good sound and a great time.

Super convenient for a quick drink to take up to my room. Fast service and the breakfast food is amazing! Really like staying in a hotel with a nice attached restruant.
