I wasn't expecting much from a holiday inn lobby bar, but was pleasantly surprised. The bartender was friendly and knew his craft. The wine selection was small but the red blend was very tasty. I would eat here again. The Cajun pasta was very good. Make sure to ask for some rolls, they are warm and delicious. And don't be fooled by the sign outside, there was nothing Indian on the menu. read more

Happy Hour specials at the bar, half priced beer, half priced glasses of wine, and select alcoholic beverage specials. Food is available at the bar and in the dining room. No food specials for happy hour. All of the meals that I have had here have been very good. The teriyaki salmon dinner is very well prepared. I have found that the hotels have very good restaurants. read more

Eggs were fine, bacon was rubbery, potatoes taste like they were fried in old oil (blechh!!) seem to be understaffed, woman from front desk couldn't be bothered to see that people were seated, the porter was actually the one who went to get the one server. Even though it is 39° outside, it feels like they did not put the heat on. The nice server is wearing a winter jacket. You expect that a restaurant that is connected to a hotel would cost more than your average breakfast, but this is not worth a spend. The food is on par with a Wawa or Royal Farms. read more

Hubby and I came here for lunch. The bistro is located inside Holiday Inn on the ground floor. The place is enormous, with a big bar in the middle and dining areas surrounding the bar area. We checked in at the hotel and then came here for lunch. They open at noon, so try to give the bartender time to prepare to serve. Lunch was served by the bartender because they don't get a lot of crowds coming here for lunch unless there's an event. We had Beet Goat cheese salad and Chicken Quesadilla. I liked their Goat Cheese salad. It was served in a big bowl and filled me up after. It was served with strawberries, orange on top, and many slices of beets. Yummy! I also tried the Quesadilla. That was not bad at all. The following day we had breakfast here too. I had Huevos Rancheros and Hubby had some eggs. Breakfast turned out to be good too. Very good meals for our one-night stay. read more

Awful. Dinner was all reheated food and overpriced. The vegetables were frozen and the chicken was oily. Fish and chips were 100% reheated from a bag. Breakfast the next morning was inedible. I ordered the veggie skillet and instead of broccoli it had carrots. The breakfast potatoes were old and chewy as well. That went back. The avocado toast replacement had blistered cherry tomatoes with the stem on. C'mon! And I believe on the two pieces of toast the cook may have used 1/2 an avocado total it was so sparse. The scrambled eggs were the only thing I was able to eat. Plus the waiters just wanted to be anywhere else and were very unfriendly. Please please go anywhere but here. read more

I'm not a fan of hotel lobby restaurant, they are normally lackluster and overpriced. Faced with few choices in this area and my level of fatigue I opted for convenience. In this Covid era I'm just happy to have a meal yet this meal was nearly edible. The bartender/waiter was top shelf. He moved quickly and was a perfect attendant. I did a Yelp check in and a 10% coupon came up, the waiter said "we don't use Yelp we use Groupon" why argue? Yet Yelp needs to know this was the first time one of their check in coupons was denied. Several nice choices on the menu I went with the Soba noodles and coconut shrimp with mango salsa. The shrimp were good but the salsa was more apple than mango. I ate it mostly because I had a super long day and no lunch. They need to up that mango salsa recipe. The Soba noodle dish was mushy! Seemed like overcooked Raman although the vegetables were crisp. My observation is as usual lobby restaurants are not your best choices. I'd grab takeout if staying in this Holiday Inn. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner and Max our waiter was wonderful! Great service and it was refreshing to go to a place that was not super noisy in a Saturday night. read more

Went here for breakfast before checking out if the hotel. For a hotel restaurant it was pretty good. The waiter was friendly and attentive. I only got a fruit salad and cereal so I don't have much to say about the food. The menu looked good. They have a buffet option if that is your thing or you can order off the regular menu. They serve food all day at the bar! read more

I haven't been to the Bistro, per se, but rather the hotel bar. It's been a couple of years since my last visit, and I must say that the remodel is pretty sweet. The upgrades and bright, open space is a definite improvement from its former, outdated look. Wait, the owner spent a ton of dough for the remodel, but didn't put a sound system around the bar? Yeah, the little boombox on a barstool just isn't what I was expecting. After a hard day's work, it's nice to unwind at this hotel bar. Both bartenders, Ken and Christine are good peoples. They'll chat you up and try to remember when you return. Christine is fvckin crazy, and I mean that in the bestest way possible. She's definitely got a firecracker personality. Ken is chill in comparison, and definitely a cool dude. I appreciate that the pours are heavy, especially since the bottle beers are not that cheap (convenience charge - i get it). I've had a couple of menu bar bites. Very filling. Decent chop house burger. Club sandwich is colossal as advertised. Good fries. I'll have to sample some tapas next time. Nibbling on the cheap? Ask for bar snacks. They keep a mystery bin behind the bar. read more

I had their French Onion Soup and their Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with grilled chicken during one meal. The flavors for the salad were on point and the soup was just amazing!!! Another time I had Chicken Quesadillas and the Vegetarian Soba Noodles. The quesadillas were so cheesy and delicious and the noodles had great flavor. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Say it with me....Cajun Chicken Pasta. This is my favorite dish, and I try it at different places whenever I can. This version is a good one. Spicy, flavorful, just the right amount of sauce. It comes on the menu with shrimp and peppers but I nixed those and added in some extra onions. One word of caution. Side salads come with tomato and cucumber, nix those and your left with mixed greens only. Kinda odd....I figured I'd at least get a crouton and onion ring, but oh well, I need more spinach in my diet anyways. read more

I travel extensively, and I'm used to an occasional bad service. I usually roll with it and just move on to the next town. But the service at Bistro 46 was so bad, it inspired me to join yelp just to post this review. I had dinner in the bar area recently on a non-busy Tuesday night. It's clear the bartenders are there to socialize with friends and regulars rather than provide attentive service. A colleague joined me after I had ordered a drink and dinner. They served me after he sat down, and they never offered him a drink or took his food order. The sound system consisted of a boom box blaring somebody's insane iTunes playlist. I've posted a picture of the sound system, lol. I consumed my meal, and my colleague, still waiting, left to go find food elsewhere. I stayed an additional 45 minutes waiting for my bill and eventually gave up. At the front desk I told them what happened and gave them my room number to charge if they dared. They did, and dialed in a big tip for themselves as well. Nice. The front desk was clueless regarding the hotel's "satisfaction guarantee" in this situation. With no other food choices within walking distance, I would choose another hotel unless you had a car. read more

Got my order wrong. The steak was so thin you coukd see through it. No seasoning what so ever

Very disappointed with the quality AND quantity of the food. I ordered the coconut shrimp looking forward to the "homemade mango salsa" it came with only to realize that the "salsa" was just cubed up mangos with 5 shrimp thrown on top. And the avocado panini was just a plain ciabatta sandwich (not even grilled) that happens to cost 15$ at least throw me a side of fries or something for that kind of robbery. Never ordering again. read more

Stopped here for a quick snack while staying at the hotel. I sat at the bar and had the buffalo wings. They weren't great. They kinda tasted like oil and definitely could have used more buffalo sauce. The ranch reminded me of the cheap bottled ranch from the grocery store. The service was great though! Michael, the bartender was very friendly and attentive. read more

I got food poisoning from this place if you want to call it a restaurant. I wouldn't go there again even if you paid over a billion dollars.

Ran in here to get a bite with my buddy from college. We were in a rush since he had to check in to the hotel and get to his next basketball game Wayne was at the bar. Very understanding, hustled the cooks to get our meal out. Chicken fingers and cheese fries, pretty good for basic foods. They have 8 tvs at the bar, so it's a good spot to catch all the games read more

They won't let me give less than one star so they get one star. Whatever you do don't order the Grilled Rib Eye. Not worth the $20. Ordered it Medium get it past medium well. And the side of vegetables? Apparently the two smallest pieces of broccoli I've ever seen count as a side of vegetables. Would not recommend this place to anyone. The basmati rice was also one of the blandest, flavorless things I've ever eaten in my life. read more

Bartenders absolutely awesome. Ethan is friendly, attentive, and has such a great sense of humor that stopping in after a long day at work is mandatory! read more

I stop through here for lunch on a regular basis. I typically get the 'Chicken Capri' or turkey club, but I have also had the burger and some of the soups. All are very reasonably priced, are prepared well, tasty and in more than good portion size to satisfy all. I generally eat at the bar where I am most excellently served by the weekday bartender, Lynn. Not too many months ago, the hotel finished renovations of the bar and dining areas. Both were much improved and provide for a comfortable and friendly environment to relax and eat. read more

Not too bad for a hotel restaurant, though the menu is limited and I stayed there 2 weeks

Although this place is inside a Holiday Inn, the atmosphere was pretty nice and cool. The food was not that bad either especially for the price we paid ($49 groupon for $100 worth of food + wine) We had: crab cake, stuffed clams, calamari, T-bone steak, salmon salad, lobster ravioli, and duck. All of it was pretty good. The crab cake seemed like it wasn't warmed enough though. The staff were also courteous and helpful. read more

Started with mild buffalo wings, good sauce but the meat was tough. Got talked into a sole-lobster special, ignoring the never eat fish after a weekend rule. The fish had 4 bones in it with two-three measly pieces of lobster with some mystery sauce over rice. Let's just say I got to see a lot of that meal again later in the night. Bartender was very friendly and kept the drinks going. No lite beer on tap though. I've been here before and getting bar seat is not always the easiest. Good place for a few beers if your staying at the hotel and don't want a DUI. Choose dishes carefully if your stomach is not made of cast iron. Friendly crowd, like most hotel bars a bit of a sausage party Burgers and sammiches available in $10-15 range; entrees will cost a cool 25 bucks or so. read more

Don't order steak here. The bar tender, Veronica, is great, but you should go somewhere else for food. You pay $20 to $30 for a steak that you can't chew. I've eaten many steaks in many different restaurants and this is the worst I've encountered. When I complained, I was told the cut was fine and they made me a different cut which was more of the same. I'm well aware of what a bad cut of meat tastes like. Rather than argue the point, I.took a to go box and trashed the steak! Beware! read more

We were planning a pleasure/business function last night and decided to choose this restaurant since it was convenient for everyone that coming. We asked the waiter if he could give us all separate checks, he was extremely accommodating and did a great job. We were a party of 18 and everyone loved their food, the atmosphere and the service. Everyone is talking about how completely satisfied they were with every thing. We will all definitely return. read more

Had a bite to eat before heading to the airport. Ordered the chicken francaise and it was very good! The bartender was also really friendly.

People don't think about a hotel restaurant when going out, but this restaurant was outstanding, it was recently renovated, and the ambiance is beautiful. The menu offers something for everyone. I enjoyed the Herb crusted chicken, it was amazing. The wine list is extensive, and the service was great. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner and night out. read more

Open airy space tucked in the corner of the lobby near the lobby lounge in the holiday inn. The music is too loud for a dinner setting, it was a relief when they took a break. We were there on a Groupon offer and the waitress seems annoyed at that and told us we couldnt just order up the value in appetizers, we had to order entrees, (said NOTHING about that in the groupon offer, but we WERE there for dinner) She seemed frazzled, but it really wasnt a busy night. The food: wedge salad with shrimp and tomatoes and russian dressing: EXCELLENT. I could have just eaten this alone. lots of bacon, we had to ask for more dressing, but that was no problem. It was a big salad - plenty to share. Appetizer: colossal scallops in lobster risotto. It was more like lobster soup, I love risotto and this did not resemble it is the least - it was soup with rice in it... BUT, the flavor was good - my husband didn't care that it was the wrong texture - he wolfed it down. Entrees: I was not impressed with my lobster ravioli, they were not the delicate hand formed raviolis of every other place I get them (a personal favorite) They were pasty machine pressed and I did not eat them. My husband ordered the strip steak - it lacked flavor and more than 1/3 of it was discarded as grizzly. The veggies and potato were plentiful, we didn't go hungry. We drank wine by the glass, but there was a nice assortment on the wine list. Maybe it was an off night - we'll try again - Groupon make it so attractive !! read more
