The food was ok, what you would expect from a restaurant in a hotel. The service was friendly but extremely ineffective and unorganized.

This morning my husband and I woke op dreaming of going to a local brunch. Was this even possible to find in Madison Wi on a Saturday morning?. We searched online, made several calls, but had a difficult time I need to place it served a buffet. We wanted it all, eggs sausage toast, breakfast potato’s and french toast. We decided that we were going downtown looked it up and ended up at a restaurant where there was a two hour wait. Across the street, there was a Do Douuble Tree Hotel. I ended up having a brilliant idea! Why not ask the people at the front desk if they would allow me to pay for their bufet. Well, my surprise l, when I went to the front desk, Alexa’s smiling face was there to greet me. She told me she would love to have us, and that their buffet was in fact, opened up to the public. The food was delicious and hot! They also included Starbucks coffee. Ray even offered us a shot of seasonal star bucks syrup. We were served by Peyton and Matthew, several other staff members we had at least five people asking us if we needed help. This was an amazing experience and we will be back.

Not only did the place provide outstanding food, they went above and beyond for our daughters wedding dinner. We were a smaller party of 15, and stayed at the hotel, the morning was hectic of course so we ordered room service. Avocado toast was not on the menu, but they made it for us. As well as a smoothie from scratch. They were wonderful and friendly and everyone still talks about the food. My son hates green beans but loved these and had told me if I could make them like that he'd eat them all day. He's 30 years old too. I wish l could get the secret to these beans.
Do yourself a good thing and go there. The hotel the Bistro. Has my ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

An ok hotel bar and restaurant. Ordered a martini without asking for the price and was shocked to discover it was 24$. I have been to the best bars in the world and never paid so much for a dirty gin martini.
