I've been going to this hotel for a few years now and I eat at the restaurant every time I stay. If I were reviewing it a few years ago I wouldn't have given it but two stars, but they've changed a lot here and it's actually pretty good for a hotel restaurant. The menu is good and the people working are great. I'll continue eating here if I ever have to go back to this town.

Great food and exceptional service by friendly staff. Very lively atmosphere.

Very impressed with this place. Nice staff. Great atmosphere. Awesome food. Drinks are a little high but other than that I have nothing but goods things to say about this place.

I have to be honest... being that "The Bistro" is a little bar/eatery located inside the marriott courtyard, I really didn't think the food here would be good. But I thought I would give it a try as there really aren't many other food choices in the area. Well, I'm glad I did. I had the Bistro Breakfast Sandwich, The Ruben Sandwich, Hot Wings, Breakfast Burrito, Meatballs in Marinara, and the Carrot Cake. Every single dish was absolutely good! I would definitely eat here again on my next trip through :-)

Good food for being a hotel. I can say it was a bit on the expensive side but I went here with my husband and daughter on a business trip and was not disappointed with the food. They had a few choices for her as well and she is a year old.

Stopped here off the NJ Turnpike looking for an alternative to the breakfast options at the rest stops and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a small breakfast cafe on the first floor of the Marriott with all the breakfast staples: eggs, pancakes, French toast, coffee. It’s about 5-8 mins off the turnpike, but totally worth it!
