The Aqua Lounge restaurant was very quiet, so we were skeptical at first. However, the service was quick and friendly. Food portions are huge, well worth the money and food is tasty.

NIRAJ was an exceptional waiter, curtious and efficient. The food made fresh, very tasty and well done but pricey. The portions are HUGE. Had 2 kids with us both got terriaki bowl with salmon, they could have shared as they barely made a dent. I had b Beef burger it was excellent and the fries we some of the best fries I'd had in a while.

Every time I come here whether for breakfast or dinner, the service is impeccable. Whether it's Carol or Erica in the morning or having the pleasure of Neimus for dinner. The care to detail and how they make you feel so welcomed is cherished. You have an amazing team. Kudos to the Chef as well. The presentation of the meal and the flavour is wonderful. You have a 5 star team. Thank you all

This morning I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The food was incredibly delicious, especially the comfort food, and the service was top-notch. Everything was fresh and tasty, and the best part is that you can enjoy all this for a very reasonable price. Plus, kids under 5 years old eat for free, making it an excellent option for weekend family outings. Highly recommended!

I went there for a breakfast buffet with my friend. We had toast, eggs, carrots, croissants, bacon, fruits, dried fruits and yoghurt with oats. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant was very clean and beautiful. My friend and I didn’t like the yoghurt and oats, so we couldn’t take it but everything else was super good. They could improve on labelling the items and making the label easily accessible. They close buffet at 11am, so ensure you take all you want to eat before 11am.

The breakfast bar was delicious. There was lots of selection and everything was fresh even towards the end of breakfast hours. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My only complaint is the hours, it needs to be open later.

Not sure why folks are giving this place 5 stars. Totally not a seafood restaurant...?! Food was ok-ish. Atmosphere was completely dead....on a Saturday at 6pm.... So I guess the service could keep up with 1 table.... Doubtful they could if there were *gasp*... 3 tables!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant while staying at the hotel for a hockey tournament. When I informed our server than my son has celiac disease, they promptly arranged for a manager to come discuss which of the gluten-friendly options were truly suitable for a person with celiac disease. To top it off, our meals were exceptionally delicious! Dietary restrictions: The fryer is not dedicated gluten-free so be sure to speak with the staff about celiac disease safe options.

Found this hidden gem purely by accident this morning. We are a Kitchener family with two young boys who were looking for a family breakfast spot. This was an amazing experience..simply cannot say enough great things! I called through to inquire before turning up and spoke to the wonderful Erica..she set the tone for sure! She was welcoming warm and knowledgeable! Turned up to the dining room which was spotlessly clean! Food was buffet style..abundant and super delicious! Loved the omlette station ..fresh and delciously prepared by a sweet chef!! Staff are superb..service led by Erica was five star!!! We will be back often for sure!!!

Rotten steak. I had to spit it out the second it touched my mouth.. it was in the fridge for at least a month. and this piece of pie was $14 lol

December 22, 2022

As a hotel guest I asked for a set of cutlery, disposable or not, for my own food and was told they dont provide cutlery for outside food, even personal. There are places that understand service and those that dont. From reading other reviews of this establishment, this is a good baseline of experience to expect.

My wife and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza and had the pleasure of eating here a few times. The buffet breakfast is good - average. However, the a la carte menu at supper time is fantastic. we had a turkey club with pub chips - it was excellent. The next night we had the quesadilla, and it was equally good. The meals seem to be made with fresh ingredients and prepared with care - definitely worth a try!

Supper was awesome! However; I went there for breakfast twice. The first time I forgot they proudly serve Starbucks , so made the mistake of saying yes to coffee. It s not coffee, it s Starbucks. The next morning I remembered to say No. The menu said that the pancakes and French toast each came with maple syrup. It was not maple syrup, but corn syrup tainted maple syrup. So disappointing. For that price, you d think they d serve the real stuff. Then again, they try to pass off Starbucks for coffee, so it shouldn t surprise me that they try to pass off corn syrup as maple syrup.

Pros Pretty good considering the hotel it is in Fast service Decently tasty food Cons Expensive for what it is --- I ordered the clam chowder and seafood risotto. The clam chowder was quite good. I was expecting a ski lodge clam chowder with large, undercooked potatoes. Instead, I got a proper New England clam chowder with appropriately cut ingredients. This delightful appetizer set me up for some disappointment on the entrée. Which, before I get to, Id like to comment on how fast the service was. I have recently been to McDonalds and waited longer for my mcnuggets than I waited for any given peice of this meal. I had to ask for more water, but when I did, it came very quickly. Now the entree, which was resotto or as they might have called it creamy rice. It was a little too aldente for me to think of it as risotto, but maybe that is a matter of taste. The texture of the inside vs the outside gave the feeling that my seafood dish had been sitting under Ive of those heat lamps you see at a buffet. By and large, there isnt much of a reason not to be happy, even the seafood creamy rice was pretty good, until the bill comes. Now it isnt the worst sticker shock, you know that being at a hotel means some guarantee of overpriced food, but still it is nice to get what you pay for and dropping $46 with tax and tip for the above wouldnt be my first choice.

I was excited to see a seafood place had opened downtown, so convinced my husband to take a chance on a hotel restaurant. While the speed of service was fine, and the server suitably attentive, we were not pleased with the food here. The crab cake we ordered for a starter could have been delicious (it was crispy on the outside and flaky inside), if not for the fact that it was downright cold in the middle, like it had just come out of the fridge. My husbands fish and chips were a good portion size, but the fish was very greasy, like the fryer temperature wasnt quite high enough. I ordered the scallop linguine, and received just four small scallops on a plate that cost $18. My first choice of the lobster ravioli, which I had seen on their menu online, was stroked out with marker on their menu. Our server was very apologetic about our experience, and removed the crab cake from our bill, which was appreciated. Honestly, Im just not sure that this restaurant gets enough traffic to warrant focusing on seafood. Maybe some changes to the menu would improve the dining experience here, but at any rate, we unfortunately will not be returning.
