Bistro 880

Dang who would have thought. I'm reviewing a hotel restaurant on Yelp. Usually hotel eats are an afterthought and are just there to cater to the hotel guests. But this place feels different. When the wife told me she had her holiday dinner here, I was like huuuuhhh??We stepped in and it was immediately a great vibe. On this 630pm Saturday, it was already bustling. The bar is very nice and welcoming, and the bartender I got was great. She always gave me a smile and did my drinks right. Esp the old fashioned. Speaking of which, the patrons here are predominantly on the older side. Which is fine. You dont expect any real trouble or issues with the older crowd. That said, I thought it was funny they still had a couple of security/bouncers at the front. Big dudes too.They had a $32 prime rib special on the weekends. Which is a fantastic value. You wont get confused by HOPR, but it's still pretty good. I'd like to see it less done, but it was still tender enough. Very delicious. Comes with wine and a cheesecake.Dancing to the oldies was great. Good times. We'll definitely come back.

Late review. Been here a few times. Last visit was for a dinner celebration. The bistro is located inside the hotel. Tables were nicely set up. I think it was salsa night. It wasn't as busy as other Saturday nights that were not salsa night. Ordered calamari and pork belly sliders for appetizers. Ordered the prime rib special for dinner with a side of shrimp scampi. The appetizers were pretty good. The calamari seemed a small portion for $17. The sliders were not on typical buns. The pork belly were in Asian bao buns. They were good but could've been more better presentation. The Caesar salad that came with my prime rib was okay. Missing croutons tho. The prime rib was cooked as requested. The mashed potatoes were like hard rubber from the outside. I was not a fan of the asparagus stems not cut off. And the scampi was not great. The sides alone were just not edible. The cheesecake that also came with the prime rib special was probably the best thing. The service was okay. Just not attentive as it should be. I probably won't be having my own celebration here. And having a meal here wouldn't be my top choices unless it's just for the cheesecake.

So i travel for work and stay in Hilton hotels and use to eating at hotel restaurants. I ate breakfast here today, and was impressed so I figured id give the place for dinner. I was seated fairly quickly given my menu. The waiter came back i ordered my Old Fashion Wedge Salad w/Shrimp and a Margarita pizza. My Old Fashion arrived and i was surprised on how small it was. I doubt i got a Old Fashion it had less than 2 oz of liquid in it. My wedge salad arrived and about a minute later my "Pizza" arrived. I assumed the waiter would have delayed the delivery of "pizza". So, here i have my salad and pizza. Salad was excellent but could have used slightly more dressing. The pizza had many issues. I ordered a margarita pizza it cane with grape tomatoes and micro greens. It wasn't to have grape tomatoes or micro greens it was missing basil. The crust wasn't fully cooked. I would have told someone if they came by and check on me, that didn't happen. The wait staff stood around the hostess stand. I wish i could write a better review.

For a restaurant in a hotel, this bistro is decent. Nothing special besides being convenient and not much food in the area around. The ahi tacos were pretty good, nothing to write home about but nothing disappointing.

For several years, Bistro 880 has been a regular spot for my aunts to hit up for dinner, drinks, and dancing. On few occasions, I have joined them. Venue: 4 stars.Located at the lobby floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, the restaurant club has plenty of tables and chairs for dining as well as bar seating adjacent to the dance floor. The staff keeps the space consistently well-kept, clean and brightly lit, even during club hours. Free parking is available in the private lot.Food: 3 stars.Below are some food items that we ordered during my most recent visit on the evening of Saturday, August 3, 2024:Pork Belly Sliders - Everyone enjoyed these Asian-themed sandwiches. The meat was surprisingly lean.Calamari - Good. They looked crispier than they were, but these deep fried pieces of squid were still enjoyable.French Fries - Excellent! Served hot and fresh with a perfect golden crisp.Fish And Chips - The servings of fish were pretty huge, but, sadly, the big pieces of fish were not very crispy, despite requesting them to be. We were disappointed by the insufficient crisp.Pan Seared Sea Bass - I replaced the Roasted Pee Wee Potato with Mashed Potatoes and requested for the Citrus Herb Broth to be put on the side in a ramekin. The kitchen fulfilled my requests, but the fish was SALTY. I couldn't eat it, so they remade the entrée for me. I was very happy with the second serving. The fish seemed considerably smaller in size, but was just as moist and flaky as the first serving.PRIME RIB Weekend SPECIAL - $31.95 Price includes Salad of your Choice, Glass of Wine, Entrée and New York Cheesecake. You can't beat this deal! My aunts go to Bistro 880 specifically for this dinner and are always pleased with it. Z tasted the steak and said that it was really good.Service: 3 stars.When my aunt made reservations for our dinner party, she was assured that her guests under the age of twenty-one would not have a problem with attendance. To our dismay, when we arrived, the hostess and our server informed us that guests under 21 would not be able to stay in the dining room. We were furious. Luckily, after some while, Head Chef Villegas got involved in the situation, moving us to a table that was still considered part of the restaurant instead of the club, so that no party guests would be kicked out. Mom was so appreciative of his rescue that she bought him a drink. Not sure who initially misinformed my aunt, but what a major fail that would have been if anyone from the party would have been forced to leave. Sounds like they need to train team members better. Ysa was our server at our new table. She was great.Bistro 880 hosts local bands on Friday and Saturday nights which what has also been reeling in my aunts. For them, it's a neighbourhood discothèque which is great...for their age group. This place is really not my scene at all because 1. I'm not a big fan of their food, 2. most of the club go-ers are senior citizens, and 3. the bands, who tend to play outdated music, are mediocre to not very good. Even the DJ will throw in old music like songs from ABBA. No, thanks. If you see me at Bistro 880, it's not because I chose on my own to go there, it's only because I am attending a party hosted by someone.

We missed out on this year's Easter Buffet- but, we definitely secured a reservation for the Mother's Day Brunch! We have truly missed brunch buffets the past few years. Price and quality really shined through here. Having my loved ones accompany me to this experience and the entire wait team here lavish me with fresh roses, a Photo Booth and impeccable service was truly breathtaking!

Always a plus for me to have plenty of parking. The Bistro is located inside of the Doubletree Hotel. Luckily we made reservations ~ I've read some reviews that say not necessary to make reservations, but on this particular night, they were hosting an event for 100 people. Make reservations!We walked in the entrance to Bistro 880 was blocked off a little confusing how to get in, but we figured it out. The sign said wait to be seated and we waited and waited and waited the gal that finally approached us , a little short, not greeting us, just asked if we had reservations. I said yes she took us to our table. Said someone would be right with us. We waited 20 minutes before a waiter finally came our way.His name was Lupe, and he was very entertaining, which made the first part of arriving a bit more pleasant. We ordered our drinks and food, and that came in an acceptable time frame.We ordered the flatbread pizza very good the margarita and the all meat. The pork sliders not my favorite just chunk of pork served inside some type of bread? Wine was decent for the price. The best part was the band that was playing. They were absolutely fabulous. The security guards were very kind greeting us. Bathrooms are located in the Hotel lobby. Very clean.If not for the long wait times, and the initial greeting as we arrived to the venue I would have given them a four star rating.

What a surprise to find this lovely little scene near home. Initially came as a friends' band was performing- was surprised by how great the restaurant service was. Food was quite tasty w generous portions as well.Especially loved the Brussels sprouts & French fries.Good to see folks out on the dance floor.Second time we returned to try prime rib special- a fantastic deal. Parking is ample.Corkage is $20 Dancing & live music is free!

Always a good meal. The service is very good and servers are friendly. Stayed at the hotel for two weeks and frequented the restaurant more than half the time. They could do better with pricing for breakfast as I thought that was overpriced for the buffet and only ate there once.

Food was delicious; huge portions. Veronica, server, handled our table of 12 eloquently & was attentive. Band played & sound was just right. Pleasantly surprised.
