"Came with my extended family and enjoyed a well-served leisurely dinner. Food was very good and well prepared. Had a very enjoyable Shiraz, although the wine list is brief. Felt it was good value for the money. Staff was friendly all through the hotel and restaurant."

"The layout of the restaurant is very unusual. There is a wide open space in front of the service window. I am not sure why they want to show the service window. The space would be better served with a wall blocking the window and tables put in the remaining area. The service was slow and did not feel like my business was appreciated. The food was good, but not the quality I would expect from a Marriott Hotel. The noise level was high. The price did not match the quality. Over-priced! I would return only if it was the only place open."

"I had the brunch buffet with my family on a Saturday morning. It was very good! A bit pricey compared to other restaurants, and the selection was a bit small, but the service was wonderful and the food they did have was very good. At one point, there were no eggs benedict left in the buffet. I mentioned it to the host, and - to my surprise - within minutes, the kitchen had made a fresh one for me while they prepared another batch for the buffet. Yummy! Our server, who was very attentive during the meal, also poured fresh coffees for us to take with us when we left. That's a first for me!"

"Service was exceptional. Nice ambiance. Balance between tables, (not in isolation and not encroaching other tables). Would like to visit one evening other than lunch to spend more time.
Food was very good, (tried cod sandwich). Kudos for a first visit.

"The service and food was quite good, tucked away in downtown Ottawa, away from the Byward market. The staff were helpful and there were no major issues.
If you are looking for free parking, you may have to drive around a bit to find a spot on Friday/Saturday night."

"Good, but not great breakfast buffet - high points were the fresh fruit and cheeses, low points were the hot buffet food. The hot buffet was just a typical hotel type breakfast hot table with nothing special in terms of offerings or preparation. Convenient if you are at the hotel, even if it is a little pricey for what is offered."
