The Bistro

I want to like it here, the good can be very good, or just okay, don't know what till it gets to you. My big problem is I still don't know what they want to be. Is it a downtown bar ( and noisy to rowdy loud) or a restaurant. I know to some it's okay if both , to me no. I hate that the allow smoking on the patio. I thought if you were nonsmoking you can't smoke within certain distance. But when the weather is at its best you have to endure rude smokers if you want to enjoy or get away from the noisy bar. I still go back occasionally to see if it improves but I'm generally disappointed. Sorry.

This is the typical Courtyard by Marriott restaurant which can be found in all the Courtyard hotels. For a quick meal, quick and simple, it is a great place to grab breakfast and dinners. I ordered a flatbread which has caramelized onions, figs, arugula salad which was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive to detail.

Located in the Courtyard Marriott, this place offers your typical hotel breakfast food and drinks to grab on the go. They have Starbucks coffee and my cappuccino was quite good, despite me forgetting to add sugar. My bagel wasn't very tasty, but it filled me up. Service was quick and very friendly. If you are staying at the hotel, you'll more than likely end up here, and they best part is the very current and modern lobby decor.

Very disappointed in the service and the meal this morning. You have to order at the counter and ask for a menu. Yes the menu is on a board but they have them printed as well. Coffee is served in a paper cup even though you dine in. It's disappointing In the morning.

Get the Sesame Ginger Salmon Bowl! It's absolutely delicious. No lie--every time I stay at Courtyard DFW Grapevine for work, the first thing I do after I drop off my bags is come downstairs to The Bistro and order that bowl. Sometimes, I get the roasted brussels sprouts too, and they're a great snack!Every thing I've had at this restaurant (food, drinks) has been really good, way above the quality you'd expect from "hotel food." If you're lucky enough to be staying at the Courtyard or Towne Place Suites, definitely give this place a look.

What a lovely place to grab breakfast lunch and dinner without having to even go outside. This bistro inside the Mariott hotel is really pretty wonderful. The wait staff are incredibly nice, especially Kailyn. He's been super sweet each time. I'd recommend the bistro breakfast sandwich, and my mom recommends the chicken quinoa bowl for lunch.

Ordered the meatballs and chicken quesadillas. Food was good. Simple and easy. The waitstaff, below sub-par. I tipped the bare amount. Didn't deserve the 20%.

I ordered a catering order from them and it was confirmed twice and it just didn't show. "We don't have your order" was all the communication I got. Didn't try to make it right or anything through EZ cater. Not how to run a business ‍

For a little corporate-designed, bar-slash-restaurant in a chain hotel (Courtyard Marriott), I was a bit surprised that the taste of my meal was so good here. Tired from a flight, disappointed that there was no room service, and having had to return to reception because the first electronic key did not work, I needed some water to whet my whistle, and my friend Jack Daniels to listen to my woes. The server (was it Martina?) came immediately and took my drink order. Then there was magic: No sooner than seeing her reach the west Texas horizon, she was already returning, with a Texas-sized glass of water in one hand, and a near-frostbite Jack in the other. Was there an old, ranch-style well that she turned to pump water and Jack while changed direction to return to the table? I'm not familiar with the civil engineering in these parts, but it seemed plausible to me. What's good on the menu? She pointed to the filet mignon, which would be served with fries. And the soup? Wunderbar, she said, in her own little way ("really good" was the exact quote): baked potato soup. I've been trying to eat a little healthier lately, but sometimes exceptions have to be made, even if they are from a young woman is a decade farther than I am from worrying about strokes and seizures. Bring it on, Dallas dearie.The baked potato soup was wonderful, with large chunks of potatoes, a few streams of melted cheese throughout, and some bacon on top. (To tell you the truth, I'm a little tired of bacon on everything, but here is was fitting.) The steak came out as medium rare, or even a little less-cooked, which is rare in my experience in a nothing little corporate "bistro." The server brought the food, checked in with me a couple times, and beyond that was so much the codependent type. I didn't take a recommendation for dessert; no reason to push the luck of my aorta. My biggest problem with the place? In what suburban conference room did a table full of MBAs feel the God-given right to accept the recommendation of the "creatives" at their ad agency to call this place not only "a" bistro, but "The" Bistro? I hope that Julia Child is still getting at least a wink or two of sleep in her grave. Noah Webster and Pierre Larousse are certainly not.

This place would have gotten 5 stars for service and drinks had the manager been the only one to serve us all night. Manager was amazing and so was the little guy with glasses. Attentive and made sure we were taken care of. However, there was a guy with facial hair, husky build, medium height that was rude. We had wine before dinner. Our Uber was on its way so I asked for my tab so that I could tip him (since it was being billed to my room). The bartender/waiter said okay, but went out into the sitting area checked it and walked into the back and never came back. I had to ask the manager, who was amazing the entire night, to please give us our tab. So we went to dinner and came back to have one drink before going to bed. I asked for a Cosmopolitan and a Stella Artois. The same waiter that neglected us before did the same again. He walked out and checked all the tables to make sure they were good. He went to the kitchen to get two orders. He came out and proceeded to never give us our drinks. He walked a little closer to us and I told him to just forget it. I let him know this was the second time today that he blatantly neglected our orders or request. He rudely told us that he was getting orders out the back. Did I mention that I work at a Bar and Grill and I completely understand and know how serving and bartending works? I do. So this isn't just a "tell the manager spill." It takes a lot for me to complain about a waiter or bartender. The ONLY reason there are 3 stars is because the manager who was amazing and a great source of info about all the great place to eat and visit we in town was amazing and he would have gotten 5 stars, but the jerk waiter who was rude (and witnessed by myself and three workers) is what drug this star rating to the ground.
