I visited this restaurant for a belated celebratory dinner with my friend. It was my first time dining there. Parking was somewhat challenging due to the limited availability of parking spaces. The food was delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the mushroom risotto and pork belly taco wrap. The ambiance was pleasant, as it is a hotel, so the noise level was appropriately controlled. However, I would rate the service as 4 out of 5 because it was difficult to get the serving staff's attention, and we had to request water multiple times. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of dining there.

Good ambience, good food, good service. This restaurant is inside the Marriott hotel but anyone can go there. It's not limited to only hotel guests.

The staff is incredible! Yes the food, the service and the atmosphere were amazing, but I really want to give a big shout out to the manager on duty, Herald and our server Kristle! They were super nice/friendly. They made our dinner so special. We celebrated my parents anniversary and with kids involved they made sure the kids got served first, made sure we were okay, made us feel comfortable. Shout out to you two ! We definitely will come back with awesome service you gave. Much appreciated!🍾🎉

The food seemed to be prepackaged ding ding fare, but at an upper mid price. Kids $7 mac and cheese seemed like a decent deal, but was actually just a half serving of lumpy KD. Salmon tartar was ok, and the brisket poutine tasted like packaged gravy and stewing beef cubes over frozen bag fries. Everything was really salty, but kind of tasteless. Service was decent and the ambiance is nice for a lobby.

My wife and I celebrated our one-year anniversary at Draco Markham, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening, with elegant décor and a cozy atmosphere. Krystal, our waitress, truly made our night special. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and had a genuine warmth that made us feel right at home. It also helps that she has a great sense of humour! Her recommendation of their signature smoky old fashioned was spot on—it was the best I’ve ever had. The dinner menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and every item we tried was exquisite. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. We particularly loved the Draco Green Salad, Pan-Seared black cod, Steak and Frites….and the chocolate lava cake – you just can’t have enough of it! Throughout the evening, Krystal provided 5-star service without being intrusive. A special mention goes to Harold, the Manager, who took care of my flower delivery and reserved the best table for us. Over the course of two days, I was able to communicate with him to get the details right. His attentiveness to detail and dedication went above and beyond, making this the most memorable dinner we’ve had to date. We were both so impressed with the level of service (from the wait staff to the bartender) and the quality of food that we will DEFINITELY be returning. Thank you, Krystal and Harold, for making our anniversary so special. We highly recommend this gem to everyone who’s looking for an intimate place to wow your significant other. You won’t regret it!

Everything to love about Draco. Wide open space to relax with friends and great food and drinks. We ordered: Pork belly tacos that were very tasy and juicy. Pei mussels in coconut thai curry. The sauce was out of this world home run winner. Lamb Chops that were pure heaven and succulent. Long Island iced tea with a decent mix of alcohol. The server was great and attentive. Even after the kitchen closed up, she was able to help us get some extra bread to soak up those sauces. I like how we were allowed to chill there for however long after the kitchen closed. A definitely recommend.

The customer service at the Draco is remarkable especially the gentleman who served us this evening for our sister’s birthday celebration. The hotel's personnel at front desk are charming and very welcoming. The premises are immaculate clean and organized. The presentation and temperature of the meals are excellent and is reasonable considering high quality. Each dish looks stunning. The cuisine's value for the money and unbeatable. 「 GRILLED CAB 40oz TOMAHAWK STEAK 」is simply sublime. The tender, juicy meat is grilled to perfection with a lightly charred exterior that complements the rich, savory flavor of the steak. The size of the steak alone is impressive, making it a perfect dish to share with friends or family. A must-try for any meat lover. (It’s took an hour for this dish, make sure to order some appetizers if you’re hungry while waiting, worth wait! ) 「LOBSTER RAVIOLI served with grilled corn」A rich and savory buttery sauce is drizzled over lobster tail. This dish is a luxurious combination of tender lobster tail, creamy ricotta filling, and the sweetness of the grilled corn complements the seafood and pasta, adding an earthy, summery flavor to the dish. A succulent lobster tail that has been perfectly grilled. An elegant and indulgent dishes. We had a great night and highly recommend Marriott Markham and we will be back !

Decent and convenient for our stay at the Marriot. The avocado salsa wasn’t the best for flavour, too strong of the raw onion scent. Chicken and waffles smelt great and was nicely plated but the waffles were thick and dry inside and as you could probably tell from the two orders that contained the potatoes - the potatoes that were included in the All Canadian breakfast were too well done for our liking and had a hint of that burnt scent to it.

The environment and atmosphere of the restaurant in the hotel are very comfortable. The food is very good, especially the lamb rack and beef ribs. You must try it. The main courses of steak and fish steak may be more expensive, but they are better than Peters and School. It is worth a try.

Overall an excellent experience except one thing. Pricing. Food was expensive, but the alcohol prices are ridiculous. The cheapest glass of wine on the menu was $22. Plus tax plus tip. A so-so rum punch was $18. $20 parking on the outskirts of Markham. This isnt the CN tower folks.

The Lobster Grilled Cheese is amazing. Hamburgers are 10/10. Cocktail selection is great, ranging from 13-25 per cocktail. Most dinner items are great, however I found the pork tacos underwhelming and a bit tough. The truffle fries arent what I expected they arent tossed, but instead only have a bit of truffle sauce drizzled on them which doesn t last long.

Updated. Went here after 4 years and the food, staff, and ambiance are top notch. Had kimchi beef short ribs as an appetizer which was cooked just right and had good flavor. We also had the steak Frites and crispy salmon with wild pilaf, both of which were very satisfying. The kids had cheese quesadillas and chicken fingers. The kids menu prices are still the same and extremely reasonable even after the pandemic inflation at under $8. Had the chocolate lava cake for dessert and it was deliciously sweet and warm. Highly recommend. Parking: When you turn into the lot, go through the tunnel in the building to the other side to find free parking. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu has great value items.

We had our lunch at Draco. The service was very slow. The server explained to us that his co-worker did not show up for work today. We waited over 45 mins for our food. There were only two table including us to begin with. The food was below average. The roasted herbal chicken was dry and had no taste. We will not return.

Surprisingly a great place to lounge with friends for a casual brunch or even get together. I ve always enjoyed hotel lounges, but luckily this one was so close to many fun spots around too. The waitress was also quite kind, and the manager even read my note during booking that this was for a birthday and offered a birthday dessert, which was delicious! Honestly, if you just need a casual but comfortable spot to catch up with friends, go here!

Spent a lovely evening there for the first time. I was thankful for the parking garage (free for patrons) during a snow storm. Attended a Jazzlicious Molly Johnson live music night. Excellent! Ordered a salmon dish from the main menu. Excellent! Their chief is renowned with major experience and impressive list of famous personalities served. Good selection of eating locations ie. Bar, seating in open area or more private booths. Maybe too close to main door and reception. Parking: Patrons get free parking voucher Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly... it a Marriott Hotel restaurant

We had a very enjoyable weekend stay at The Marriott in downtown Markham. My partner and I were celebrating our union that weekend, but didnt make a big deal about it. When Watson, the wait staff on the first night of our stay, heard the news about our union, he proceeded to pull out all the stops for us. He served as the Master Host for our family celebration on our second day, and left us gifts of sparkling wine at the end of the big meal. Our family has been gushing about Watson ever since, recognizing the above-and-beyond efforts made for the experience to be memorable and special.

Went to Draco years ago for brunch before, the atmosphere was good but food was average. A few years later, food quality about the same as before. Similar food as Egg Mart, Cora, Markham station... price wise very reasonable as Draco is located inside Marriott. Picture is better than a thousand words... you can see it yourself.

chicken and waffles were very very dry, no flavour or texture, almost as if they reheated frozen chicken and waffles bought from costco, chicken was very thin and small and waffles were stiff and dry. if you want a proper chicken and waffle experience go to chillax cafe or elephant cafe, prices are more reasonable for a whole better quality where the chicken will have flavour etc. server was half decent and recognized herself the quality of the food and was nice about it

I and my friend stumbled upon this extremely peaceful yet pleasantly ambient restaurant. We were greeted by this very sweet polite host Kashish, who continued to assist us even during our dinner experience, and while we were waiting for food facilitated our wait time by offering to make sure our comfort level was well taken care off. The chef customized the menu for me, and the food was satisfying. Because of hosts like Kashish, the atmosphere immediately felt welcoming the moment we walked inside. I would hope this message reaches the rightful host and they continue providing outstanding customer service.

Absolutely hidden gem of a restaurant in the Marriott hotel. We come here regularly for lunch and dinner. Food on both menus is excellent. Harold the manager is fantastic to chat with. He does an amazing job running the restaurant. The waiters and kitchen always do a great job. Highly recommend lobster sandwiches, steak frites and salmon. Brunch is also very good and kid friendly. Prices are reasonable for quality and service you receive. Lovely atmosphere with clean space and high ceilings.

By far, THE BEST service I ve ever seen in any restaurant in Canada, our server Watson was such a gentleman, super professional, very attentive, and perfect timing for asking food, drinks, refilling our glasses, removing finished plates, etc. The food was also tasty, albeit on the expensive side and I expected the portion of chicken in the Herb Roasted chicken to be a bit larger. I was told it s a full chicken breast but I ve seen that Nando s full chicken breast is much larger. But they did gave us a surprise cake for our anniversary. P.S. even the host, I think her name is Bernice was very professional and kind. Even the washrooms were super clean, almost looked brand new and smelling nice. Very comfortable soft smooth leather clad circular booths. Overall one of the best dining experiences I ve had in Canada so far. Definitely will recommend for people celebrating special occasions.

Went there yesterday to have a good time and good food. No doubt the ambience was beautiful and the food was great but the service was not even upto the mark. Had a reservation for 7.30 pm and waited for half hour to actually sit in. Server was not engaging at all, seemed like she was forcefully doing her work... have a very limited menu and drinks served were not great either. Overall not a good experience, giving 2 stars just for the food.

the food was so bad ,we order the burger and SearedHalibut which both were reheated and it wasnt the fresh cook meal.The fries was too hot and too soft and not at all crunchy and the meat was burnt also the fish was so dry and un tasted and the quinoa was too hot which burned my mouth.Also the service was too slow and very unprofessional,for a glass of water we had to ask the server three times and when we asked for the ketchup and mayo she throw it to the table.

Food was really delicious - compliments to the chef! But service was terrible. There was just 1 server and seemed like 1 manager. There were 10 people and still the server didnt do her job well. She didnt offer water to anyone, didnt tell us that the menu was on the phone, told us we could sit anywhere (didnt seat us) and didnt check on us for the next 10mins (we were given only a 90mins window to eat & leave). Training is highly recommended for servers, especially if the restaurant has lost staff due to Covid-19 restrictions. Ambiance is great though! Service experience will be a hit or a miss.

If you are looking for date night ideas, check out The Terrace By Draco located on the 3rd floor at the Toronto Marriott Markham. It s located on Enterprise considered Markham s new downtown. While Draco is waiting for the green light for dining in to open up, the same great team Executive Chef Bill and resident mixologist Amy has created a new menu for their stunning terrace. ___ We started off the evening with irresistible cocktails check out the weekly rotating cocktails featuring vodka, bourbons, rum. Pictured in slides are Blue Moscow Mule, Sparkling Sake Mojito from the regular cocktail list to a Watermelon Smash from the Vodka Stop Menu. And I highly recommend a pitcher of the Rose Sangria. ___ Before dinner check out the Art Exhibit featuring Markham Artists on a rotating basis. And if you see something you love you can take it home!! Check back to see new monthly exhibits. ___ The menu consists of shareable food that s so delicious and beautiful! Draco Charcuterie Seared Lobster Crab Cakes Grilled Jumbo Shrimp with Avo Grilled Lamb Chops Shrimp Corn Risotto ___ Seating is limited and I highly recommended you call to make a reservation. The food and service here is top notch. Truly a wonderful experience! Follow me Hungry.Jo on Instagram

It is also not my job to inform elder couples on how to check-in with the QR code and I find it so unprofessional the waitress didn t tell the couple on how to complete the check-in but rather told the couple to go check-in. Food was ok, didn t really have meals on the menu but more so appetizers. There isn t really a view other than the building across the street. You also get only 1.5 hours from your reservation time so if you are late, do call ahead.

Beware that reservations will not be honoured. Poor management of restaurant reservations and timing. We had made a reservation for the patio at 8:30pm and were literally turned away at the door from our reservation. Quite disappointing as we had booked this a week in advance in order to celebrate a friend s job. Although being honest, it s quite a turn-off and looks very bad on the Marriott franchise to have the restaurant manager or front of house staff turn all the potential guests away, saying to be honest, you should just dine in somewhere else . We were told that the current seating was already delayed over an hour. Improvements need to be made on the time management of seating and reservations.

By far the worst service I have ever received. There was hair in my food, lipstick mark on my glass and almost an hour wait even with reservations made. Would not recommend

Terrible service. Food took over an hour to come out and was cold. Drinks were all extremely watered down and very over priced. Not once did they check in after delivering the food. One of the items ordered took an hour and a half to come out and was burnt. We couldnt get anyone to even look in our direction to get the bill, so we went to the counter ourselves. They didnt know what we ordered, so we had to tell them everything. They acknowledged that the service was bad, but didnt offer to do anything on the bill whatsoever. Definitely a huge disappointment going here.

December 22, 2021

Terrible experience. My date and all other guests were turned away without an explanation beyond something came up and we can no longer host you all . We were told to wait 30 min after arriving on time for a reservation. Another party who had been waiting almost an hour overheard and informed us that management had said the same to them. The staff then made a call and announced they could not host any of the groups that were waiting in the lobby with reservations. Poor organization, lack of communication and professionalism. Avoid at all costs!

December 22, 2021

Terrible!! Had reservations for my birthday dinner with my friends and got turned away! They told us to wait 30 mins which led to an HOUR and then got told they couldn t seat us anymore! Staff couldn t give us a proper explanation and turned not only us, but other guests who had reservations for the night away. They couldn t even reimburse us or anything! Wasted our time! They ruined my birthday dinner and we couldn t even find another place to eat at! The worst customer service, staff was unreliable and unhelpful, lack of communication, unorganized and so unprofessional! So disappointed!! Would not recommend!

Really enjoyed how cute the patio was and the food was very good. However, horrible service. What ruined our time and left a very bitter taste was when the server came over to say hey you guys have to leave now the next reservation is here after ZERO warning. She said our online reservation told us there is a 90 min max, which it did not and we then showed her it doesn t and she said oh sorry but you still have to leave . We asked her if there was room downstairs to stay for longer and she said ya probably and didn t go check for us. It would have been nice to be told when we arrived at least that we had 90 mins. She kicked us out before a table that was already there when we arrived. She said she was kicking them out too but we hung around outside for 10 mins and didn t see them come out. It s not like we didn t spend money, our bill was around $200. We wanted dessert but didn t have the chance since we had no warning we were on a time limit. We asked for water right when we got there but didn t get it until we asked again during our meal. Perhaps if this establishment wants to have the prices and look they advertise then they should enlist some servers that are professional. Her phone also started ringing while she was having us pay our bills. I won t be back here until I see some better comments on the service because right now it looks like I m not the only one who experienced unprofessional staff.

Tonights experience at Draco was underwhelming. We dined on the 3rd floor terrace. Upon arrival you scan the code on the poster to do a Covid check in and then proceed to the dining area. However, there was no one to usher us in to a table. Our server did not really tend to us. Only coming once to see how we were doing, otherwise we had to wave her down for everything we needed throughout the evening. The food was mediocre. Got fried calamari and crispy salmon. The presentation was nice, but Salmon was over cooked and the calamari and aioli both lacked flavour. Overall, I dont think I would come back. The service and food quality was not worth the price for sure.

First off, the parking situation was stupid. You have to park on P2 then walk over to the restaurant which is not clear or written anywhere. They do not make it clear that their outdoor area is closed for the season. We had to wait a while to be greated and seated then 2 people came one right after the other. Not friendly staff. We got seated at a small table with 2 chairs and close to other diners.. what happened to social distancing? We asked for a more comfy, socially distant seat since the whole area was empty but the host said that they were reserved and offered no other suggestions or any kind of problem solving to help. The temperature was colder than it needed to be. We left and will not be going back there. If I could give 0 stars.. I would We went over to Terre Rouge Restaurant instead and had great service. Its about a 3 min walk or less away. .

Too bad for the decor of this lobby located place with no privacy. We went with family for Christmas dinner. Some of us were a few minutes late. We were clearly told off by the hostess that we have to leave before the 2 hour limit slotted to our reservation. It was a great welcome on Christmas day. The wine glasses had very dirty rims, the plates still had food on them and were not dry. There was not enough space to walk around the stations. The servers dont remember the orders. They turn off the lights right as the dining time slot is done. Never coming back to Draco. Please train the staff better.

Gave it a 4 star for food and a cruel 2 for what appears to be an inexperienced buffet setup crew or management. Took a star off on the food because of the boiled lobster served had no appeal or taste. The other food was good. Overall dining area table arrangement does not allow ease of flow for patrons to go back and forth between the tables and the buffet stations. Tables were allowed to be over-crowded in an instance when a table was vacant in another area of the dining area. The staff was pretty slow to clear the dishes from the tables. In my case, the staff could not get to my seat beacuse my exits were blocked by the overcrowded table in front and behind my table. The hard cast iron to what resembles a Cruset casserole pot was used to hold the butternut squash soup. You know how heavy and dangerous for the patron to hold the lid and try to get the soup out of the pot?!!! There was no place to put down the lid. Although the desserts were colourful and good, no one thought to put a sign in front of the desserts. We all had to guess what we are eating.

Went to the Christmas night dinner buffet. Selection was limited but each food item was delicious. I wish hot foods could be served in warmer temperatures. Dessert selection was decent but there was no fruits served. Service has its up and down through out the 2 hours service window. Cutlery and linens were spotless. For the price they charged it was a good value. Theres room for improvement but its above average, as I represent Marriott Titanium member so Ive seen a fair share of hotel restaurants. I would give it another shot with regular sitdown table service at another time.

They also have booths on the side with TVs if you want something more private too. They also make very delicious cocktails! I usually come here for drinks and not usually for the food, but the food menu looks good too. Highly recommend!

While the Marriott designed bar is visually nice, the hygeine, service [and food] is questionable. I was visiting with colleagues while in town, and our bartender Amy fixed us a cocktail. She was obviously ill as she would make a congested cough into the back of her wrist while prepping our drink. I noticed this and made a remark, to which she smiled then rolled her eyes. Days later, upon returning home, I fell ill...all during COVID-19. This then passed to my family--all of us thankfully recovered--but WHY IN THE HELL does Marriott/Draco allow sick workers to work the bar! At one point on a subsequent day I noticed the chef sneeze directly into his uncovered hand, then re-enter the kitchen. OMFG! Drink, and eat there at your own health risk.

December 22, 2020

I was so disappointed, I made a reservation and even called ahead to confirm the reservation I already made. Only to get there and the same lady who confirm the reservation told us that it s a first come first serve basis. I was very upset since I drove over 40mins to get there. If I could give zero star I would, very bad first impression...won t be going back.

Went here for a birthday. The good was quite good, though I found it a little bit too salty for my taste. The martini I ordered was all the way to the brim, as the waiter kept pouring. Seemed like he was new to service. My husband ordered the tamarind chicken, which was well flavoured but quite pricey for the portion that was given. The holden county brisket burger was excellent. Would definitely order it again. Birthday girl ordered the maple mustard king Cole duck breast. I tried a piece and thought it tasted quite good,as I love duck. But she thought it was kinda dry. The vegan dessert was on the house, provided for the bday girl. Definitely worth a try, but maybe more for special occasion or date. As the restaurant was very quiet and filled with more mature crowd.

The food is very good. However the service is lacking. We waited over 30 minutes for service and only received that because we flagged someone down.

I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant as I was last night. Last night Sept 12, was my husbands birthday and we usually like to try out new restaurants, so needless to say we decided to give Draco a try. Before even getting to the restaurant we were greeted by the hostess who was super pleasant. Our server Trevor came out and took our drink order. The bartender was great. To be honest, she seemed like the hardest working person in the front of the house; but Ill get to that after. We ordered the king Cole duck confit poutine and the crab cakes to start, along with our ocean breeze and a pina colada (cant remember the exact name). The poutine (along with the drinks) were the best part of the night. You get a generous portion for the price and it was very tasty, a little on the salty side but tasty nonetheless. The crab cakes were a little on the disappointing side. For the price you pay, they were rather small and they didnt seem to have cleaned the crab properly, as there were bits of the shell in every bite. Now for the main course. We both got the grilled beef tenderloin, his medium-rare and mine medium. First off they were a little burnt and super salty. His was more of a medium cook than medium rare while mine was more medium-well. The broccoli had little to no seasoning but was still good. The mash was nothing memorable. It was very generic and bland, no flavoring whatsoever, mine was even lacking salt. The shrimp was alright, again mine was a little salty but nothing compared to the beef. Our server, Trevor, at the beginning was great, attentive and helpful, but towards the end of the night things got bad. After we finished our meals he took an extremely long time to come over to clear the dishes or ask of we wanted dessert. Instead he was at the bar with another waiter just chatting. When he finally came, he gave us time to think which was great but he didnt come back for another 15mins...by this point we were visibly upset and he still opted to chat at the bar. It was so bad that we didnt want dessert nor did I ask if they did anything for birthdays, which I had mentioned in my reservation! Needless to say, this was such a horrible experience. Im quite upset that it was my husbands birthday when it happened too! I doubt we will ever be going back there.

The ambiance and service here are top notch. Beautiful decor that is tasteful, relaxing and the perfect amount of lighting...I hate it when restaurants are too dim. The chef came out to see how our meals were but we hadnt started eating yet but he actually came back after to check on us. Very friendly staff, with just a slight recommendation for the dish to know the menu better so that they can better answer questions and provide recommendations. The chicken soup was too salty for me but would have been hearty otherwise. The roasted mushroom ravioli was delicious, paired with butternut squash and a light sauce that let the ravioli shine. My friend ordered the seabass which was very fresh and cooked to perfection, including the veggies which had a nice bite to it still. My other friend ordered the rib eye and we all thought it was on the thin side but flavourful and well cooked. The Draco bites were good too. Overall, a very good meal

First time grabbing drinks at Dracos! Got a couple of drinks such as the berry gin sour (although it was quite sweet), watermelon smash (tasted very much like a watermelon slush with a splash of alcohol) and a rose sangria (easily the most loved drink among the three). All were very pretty and very photogenic which was nice and I very much enjoyed the atmosphere. It was quite quiet which made socializing a breeze and it wasnt overly crowded which made us relax. My friends and I didnt feel pressured to finish our drinks in a hurry. There was a dj there that day and I have pretty mixed feelings for the DJ. Sometimes the music would be really loud and we would have to adjust our talking volume in order to be heard, other times the music would be quiet and we would have to change our speaking volume. The lobster grilled cheese was good although I tasted more butter than cheese. Apart from that I would return to this place again for drinks with friends in the future!

We were a group of 5 with 2 toddlers. We came in on a quiet weekday evening but feeling the place is more suitable for adults with its lounge setting so we left. However we couldn t get a table at Kiu nearby (another story) so we came back here again for dinner. I just wanted to say the service here was tremendous. Our toddlers were crying and the server and manager were patient and caring giving us stickers and asked if we are doing okay. We apologized for the noise. The server said put it this way...They gave us a lively evening on this quiet day. ;) This made us feel so much better. Food is okay overall. We ordered poke bowl (not recommended), lobster grill cheese (good), flat bread (excellent), burger (good). The setting is actually very nice here and great for casual business meeting. We will definitely come back...without kids. :)

Their blueberry mule is amaaazing. We got several drinks but their mules were en pointe. Generous with the vodka and the ginger beer they used was pretty strong. Great taste that lasted even though the ice started to melt (I drink helllaa slow). They also have a list of non-alcoholic drinks on their menu I wouldve liked to try! As for food, we only ordered the charcuterie board, fries and sweet potato fries. Note: will 100000% come back for their sweet potato fries since their garlic dip is to die for. If you have a meeting or a hot date, you might wanna skip it cause the garlic is strong, but its so good Also, the day I went, we were celebrating my birthday so we got a free dessert (not pictured since it was eaten.. Too quickly). They have house churros that were perfectly seasoned with a bed of Nutella underneath. Whipped cream and fresh fruit on top Shoutout to Watson being an amazing waiter that night! Definitely coming back here for drinks and try their other food items.. or to hang out or even study, yay free WiFi! Love the atmosphere here!
