I ordered a Salmon , it was cooked well , but was quite blunt . The greens along with it is not a good combination atleast for me . The seats are a bit worn out . But it’s a good place to have some drinks with friends and colleagues if you stay at the hotel . I stay atleast 4 days is week at this hotel as the part of my Job . Will try other food and update the review accordingly

Locale birreria in cui si fa anche colazione. Bacon ottimo, uova, patate etc. Spazioso ed accogliente in perfetto stile americano. Parcheggio ampio non custodito davanti all'ingresso.

Breakfast covered as part of Marriott Platinum benefits.

The food and decor were average - standard hotel breakfast fare with slightly worn upholstery. However, I have to give this place a 5/5 for service alone. The older gentleman, sole waiter for breakfast, was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to return my forgotten bag to the hotel. I didn't catch his name, but he deserves any bonus he can get.

This hidden gem just beckons the neighborhood to join in a great Happy Hour experience! Great place to chill and unwind after work with some great bartenders. Dinner specials are sure to entice one's appetite, as do the drinks and spirits. A solid spot to decompress after a day's work!

Think I came here on the wrong day because there appeared to be only one waitress servicing the entire floor. My two eggs and breakfast potatoes came out cold. A side order of toast was dollar for a loaf quality bread, one small and dinky slice for $3. Coffee was decent but waitress never made it back to our table until I flagged her down for the bill. Came here because it's attached to our hotel. Sad!

We had family in town staying at the hotel so we met them for breakfast. My breakfast was delicious and the service was perfect. In particular, Julie Mathison was so fun and personable. She brought having breakfast to a new level. Definitely going back.

Just had breakfast at the Bistro, had eggs benedict or that's what they call it. The muffin was soggy, the hash browns tasted like they were cooked two days ago in stale grease. The service was ok, But the cook needs to take a refresher course on Google. It will be a long while before I go back.

Food not good and selection very limited. It looks fancy from the street and looks like a good restaurant. It is part of the Sheraton Hotel and it is both a bar and restaurant.

The food is really quite good, but the service is hit or miss. This isn't the place if you have somewhere to be and need a quick bite. I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton and had breakfast here three times - the buffet, decent; the bacon/eggs/breakfast potatoes/toast breakfast, very good & a large portion; and the pancakes/eggs/bacon breakfast, also very good & a large portion. Their quinoa bowl w/a fried egg on top is very tasty as a healthy option and their mesquite chicken sandwich is delicious. The prices are reasonable for what you get, unless you want cereal that is - $6.50 seems a bit steep.

The food was good and the server was very nice and attentive. Looks like ownership is in transition. The building is bizarre and entrance to the restaurant is strange, need to walk past banquet rooms down a corridor without any signage. Desperately in need of a massive remodel. However, it was right next to the Sheraton Four Points I was staying at (which also DESPERATELY needs a complete over haul) so it was convenient. In fairness the salmon was cooked well, and the service was fine, so the meal was actually quite good.

I went to Lunch with my Girlfriends from Church, we lunch at a different spot each month, I'm not sure we will return to this place anytime soon. It took a while for us to get our food, which we didn't mind because we had each other's company. My salad came with candied walnuts (which I am allergic and no where in the menu does it say there are walnuts on the side salad). I ordered a Party Melt (shown), the onions were very sweet which was odd to me, my Salad in the picture was my new salad after I sent the first back, it didn't have much flavor.

Just what the Business Traveler needs! What a great addition to Courtyard Marriott. Love the menu, wine, options, setting, and the whole vibe. Diverse menu with healthy options, along with some comfort food. Serves Starbucks in the morning too! Absolutely loved the Mediterranean Multi-grain Bowl with chicken, broccolini, tomatoes, quinoa, and brown rice: wholesome, delicious, and flavorful! I'll be back!
