Nice, quiet, clean atmosphere. The steak was on of the best I've ever had. Extremely flavorful, perfectly cooked. The cheesesteak eggrolls are delicious too.

Overall, I had a great experience. This French bistro was lovely and the service was wonderful. The food was very good and the ambience/vibe was very pleasant and soothing.  I would definitely recommend and return.

Tried to get breakfast here as I was staying at hotel. Emphasis on the "tried". Waited forever to be seated, waited forever to get service, walked out

First night of restaurant week. Skip it! It's just a hotel small restaurant. Nothing like a French Bistro. They were out of Knob Greek bourbon. Really on the first night of restaurant week. Absolutely no need for reservations. Food fair at best. Service exceedingly slow but only because 1 bartender who acted as host bartender, waiter and server. One other staff member who brought out food but they were so under staffed you had to feel sorry for them! We were very underwhelmed.

I had higher expectations for this “French Bistro” It’s basically a lobby bar in a hotel nothing bistro-y about it. We came on restaurant week and they had one person in the kitchen, they were “out” of the braised short ribs, only because they were never prepared, according to the bartender, who was also the host, server and food runner. I’m not sure why a hotel within the Marriott chain is so woefully understaffed. We waited over an hour for our appetizers, which were pretty good, but the wait was ridiculous. Entrees arrived 20 minutes later and while the food was decent, it wasn’t bistro like at all. Kudos to Joe the bartender/server/food runner/host as he kept his cool and did the best he could with an unprepared kitchen. If you’re going to participate in restaurant week, BE PREPARED!

Our server, jack was great! The food was just ok. For being a "french" restaurant, I didn't see what was so French. Overall we had a nice time.

Joe was great, very attentive, and extremely polite. My first course during restaurant week was the tomato soup, and it was actually more tasty than my main course. Would definitely go back outside of restaurant week just for Joe and the soup, lol.

The restaurant was not prepared for restaurant week. They had one person in the kitchen. They had one guy in the dining room as well as the bar and the host. He did a great job, but it was over an hour before we got our appetizers another 20 minutes before entrées. Food was pretty good, but they were out of the short rib entrée which we learned that they never even prepared it so they never had it. They subbed out New York strip, which was just OK. I would not recommend this restaurant, it's basically a lobby bar in a hotel with a few tables there are so many other better options in Philly for less money.

Service was great, atmosphere was great. Food was surprisingly terrible. We did the restaurant week menu and had the salmon and the short ribs. The salmon was bland, the short ribs were awful. They were tough and the potatoes were basically unseasoned. Would not return.

Amuse restaurant provided a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was inviting, the service was attentive, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!
This was our first time dining in this hotel restaurant...wasn't quite sure if we were in the right place, as we walked in, it's all open and a nice large bar lounge room awaited us. The bartender was fabulous, as he literally took control of the entire room. There was a large group awaiting to go up to a wedding and it was a bit loud til they all left, but he took care of us w/o any hesitation, we picked our seating, he took our dinner order, served every course and everyone was happy and satisfied... I was impressed by him mostly of all!! The food was very good and plentiful, which we both took leftovers home and also enjoyed espressos and Americanos after!!! I would go again, as It's right close by to everything (City Hall area) and I definitely would stay in that hotel, if I ever decided on an overnight stay!!

We had a very enjoyable dinner for 3. Portions were generous and delicious. Service was very slow even though the dining room was not crowded. The room is lovely! Neighborhood - not so.

Pricey for quality. Menu contrived and food just average. Fancy names for mediocre execution. Quiet - so that’s okay. That’s because nobody there 6:30-8PM

A cozy bistro located inside Le Meridian. Staying in the hotel grants me a complimentary drink, so I took a cup of cappuccino while sitting at the bar where everyone else was having beer or liquor. Cappuccino is good, so as the upholstery in general.
