Food was good but the service from Hai was unparalleled. He was personable, attentive and really made my parent’s anniversary a real experience. I can’t talk enough about his phenomenal service and by proximity he made it a great atmosphere to be in. 10/10, two thumbs up, whip cream and a cherry on top, all that and a bag of chips, would definitely come back.

I had an amazing breakfast buffet. I loved the fresh smoothie, Starbucks coffee, and homemade parfait. Albert was our waiter and he was friendly and provided excellent service. I would highly recommend.

Spin is located inside the Marriott and is within easy walking distance of many Ottawa attractions. Unfortunately I can't recommend Spin. Simon was an amazing waiter and the atmosphere is very lively. Since it was raining buckets when we arrived in Ottawa, we opted for the hotel restaurant and both had the Marriott Burger. Hubs upgraded his fries to a poutine. The burger looks amazing and tastes amazing, especially with the crispy, thick bacon, but we basically flushed $80 down the toilet. Something was wrong with the burgers and it hit me earlier than it did my husband. I followed up with the manager the next day as my husband was still having stomach issues and had to return to hotel instead of sightseeing. The manager was sympathetic and offered us free drinks or soup, but we passed on it because usually we didn't want to have anything from this restaurant again. It was kind of embarrassing that she quizzed me on what we ate before we arrived, which would have just been snacks on the airplane. In hindsight, I wish we had different dishes just to prove the burger was a problem. We ate at many other Ottawa establishments afterwards without any problems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TL;DR: Save your time, money and rear ends by requesting the Marriott Burger well-done if you order it!

I went there for breakfast every day during my stay at the Ottawa Marriott. The breakfast selection was great, but the service made the experience pleasant. All the waiters were pleasant and made everyone feel welcome. Albert, who has worked there for 34 years, is incredibly kind, attentive, and treats everyone with respect, including the children. He served the entire restaurant with greater efficiency than 3-4 waiters younger than he would have. Albert and all the staff here is the reason why I'll choose to stay at the Marriott every time I'm in Ottawa.

Been to this restaurant twice for lunch in the last couple of weeks and I have been impressed. Great, quick and courteous service and a nice selection of dish on the menu. Had a different salad each time (grilled salmon orzo in picture) and they were both delicious. Salmon was perfectly cooked and tasty and the orzo was not soaking in dressing. Delicious! Like most hotel restaurants, it’s a little pricey but I still recommend it.

My family and I stayed at the hotel and tried the breakfast buffet in the morning. Our waiter Albert was fantastic. Welcoming, kind, and made sure we were well served 10/10. Also we have 3 kids and he remembered their preference, he also offered things that the kids may like it, ex; chocolate milk. The buffet had many great choices French toast, croissants, fresh fruits, eggs (that you can also order how you like), fresh fruit juice, etc. 10/10 for the amount of choices and quality of food. Will definitely drop by again next time we visit.

One of the best poutine Ive eaten. The chicken was a generous portion but the sauce was a little too intense (ideal for smokers) The menu is in both languages, I asked for the chicken thigh what and had to repeat it in English (seriously upgrade your game a little) if the waitress had said sorry I dont speak French but I know that chicken means chicken, but I want to make sure you want the chicken thighs it would have been nice and would have shown a certain effort. His service was generally simple and flat, I was told that this was the case in Ottawa on weekends versus during the week.

Title: A Night to Remember Thanks to Melissa at Spin Restaurant! Wow, just wow! Our night at Spin Restaurant in Marriott Ottawa was AMAZING, all thanks to Melissa! From the moment we stepped in, she made us feel like VIPs. Melissas energy and warmth lit up the room, and her recommendations were on point! Not only did she make sure our orders were taken care of promptly, but she also checked in on us throughout the night. It felt like she was reading our minds, anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them! But what really stood out was Melissas personality. She was more than just a server; she was like an old friend catching up with us. Her genuine care and friendliness made our dining experience truly special. If youre planning a visit to Spin Restaurant, ask for Melissa you wont be disappointed! Thanks for making our evening unforgettable, Melissa! Youre a rockstar!

Food was generally okay but overpriced. Nothing unusual for a hotel. But on my second night there, I found a long hair in my hamburger. I politely let my server know - she was quick to point out it wasn t hers and that it was too long to be from any of the cooks, and suggested maybe it was my girlfriend s hair that had come off my clothes (I was dining alone). I then got charged full price, wasn t even offered a free coffee or something. I ve worked in kitchens before and get that these things happen. But it s very poor form to blame your guests and not offer anything to make up for it. I won t be going back.

Had a very disappointed experience. The only thing I appreciated was that the restaurant was still open at 10:00PM. But that does NOT give any excuse to make sad and terrible food: even the French Fries was messed up, not crispy at all but soggy and soft. And look at that steak, that s medium ?????? (I d like to use Gordon Ramsay s raw quote here). Anyway, unless you re desperately looking for something to eat after waiting in the airport the whole day and ended up realizing your flight was cancelled in the late evening like me, please think twice before choosing here. Oh by the way, this meal cost us over $100.

Cold food. Cold service. Dining here was one of the WORST experiences I ever had and the night manager of the front desk was so rude and abrasive. I would never patronize this business again in the future.

December 22, 2023

Avoid at all costs. I experienced nothing but cold unwelcoming service from the moment I arrived. I.e. The server refused to bring ice after buying a bottle of Prosecco because they were out of ice. After some back & forth, we finally speak to a manager that says they definitely have ice making an excuse for the server s attitude by saying it s a busy night . For ice. At the Marriott. I can t imagine coming back

I ve had horrible experiences at this restaurant. Being ignored and slow or nonexistent service. I stood at the bar 20 minutes tonight and left after being completely ignored.

Food was great, tasted good, drinks are fabulous. We were a big group but waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed. Took long to get our food, we were not asked for coffee or dessert. Mac N cheese was dry and had like 5 cheese curd on top, no panko in it. My lemon chicken was good and the baked coleslaw was really delicious.

December 22, 2023

Attended an office party. The food was quite good, and no problem getting my over-seasoned fries replaced with naked ones. Decided to order a drink, and sent it back after a single sip. Absolutely undrinkable. Was asked if I wanted to replace it with another beverage. I declined and drank water. Bill comes... my drink is on it! I questioned it, Sorry maam. You still pay. Asked had I replaced the undrinkable one with something else... you guessed it, I would have been billed for both!!!! I told the server that I found this absolutely deplorable. It was my first visit. It will be my last.

Local Guide
December 22, 2022

Our server was lovely. Thats where the good part ends. The rest was awful. My pasta was $24, clearly made with a jarred sauce (nobody makes a homemade tomato sauce that thin, bitter, and that hint of sugar to cover up the lacklustre quality ingredients) and a chicken breast so limp as to have almost no flavour, and was clearly water-injected. Coupled with charging $8 per 500ml bottle of sparkling water, and this reeks of youre stuck here, what else are you gonna do? kind of experience. Get over to Byford. Or McDonalds. Or anything else. Overpriced, underwhelming, and you can do so much better.

★★

I was there with my family on September 2nd. We all had the breakfast buffet which included coffee and juice. The restaurant is lovely and everyone was following safe COVID protocols. The price was also very reasonable for either the buffet or menu option. The staff were all really kind and friendly but the star of the show was our server MONIKA!! From the moment we were guided to our table she gave the warmest greeting I have ever received in a restaurant. She was also wonderful with my two children. Her warmth and hospitality were unlike anything I have ever experienced. Honestly, if you happen to be near Parliament Hill in search of food and you happen to be having a rough day, stop by and ask for Monika to be your server. She will make your day!!

The tofu scramble is quite nice, and the service is good. They have gluten-free toast. The fruit is not great. It doesnt taste fresh.

Great restaurant located within the Marriot hotel. I usually go here for their daily happy hours between 2 and 6pm where there is a selection of appetizers and drinks, ALL for only 7$. The service has always been great and the standard menu is also diverse and fairly affordable. Our waiter, Bruno, was wonderful! Worth a visit if youre in the area!

Came here for dessert and cocktails, desserts were small and cocktails were plain. Wait staff was rude, they kept bumping into my chair and knocking things off. We were sat next to 2 tables of 10+ people...not a great experience.

Delicious dinner, excellent service. I had a window table not far from the bar. I suggest dining in the other room, because the crowd at the bar was rather loud and rambunctious (it was only 5pm).

Very elegant place, great beers and tasty food, spacious and comfortable, high level and pretty fast service. The place is large enough to accommodate so many visitors, that no need in waiting list - very significant Pro!

The burger was really good. The onion rings were nothing special and next time I wont pay the extra 2 bucks and just get the regular fries as a side. A little pricey the average dish for lunch was 17-20 bucks but it was quick and we were a big group, and very nice looking restaurant.

3 in our party. Not a busy night (Sunday). My drink was wrong but server didn t come back until we ordered & didn t inquire about our drinks. I had delicious fish & chips. They spread the tarter sauce on plate but you barely get any. When server finally came back to ask about our meals, which took forever, I requested more tarter sauce. Even my companions said the amount given was measly. I felt like I was inconveniencing the server and when she returned with a little dish of tartar sauce it was still maybe a teaspoon of tarter. The small slice of lemon was about the thickness of a quarter. I guess it s the little things that they really need to improve on.

I had the pork and egg noodle dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. Seasoned just right and actually interesting to look at as well. Although the restaurant was really crowded I never felt like I was ignored, although I was on my own. The waiter popped out at appropriate intervals ask me for things if I needed them, got me what I wanted and then left me alone as I wanted. Quite a good experience. Highly recommended. I had their dinner steak there a few weeks ago as well, and it was absolutely delicious. You pay for what you get, but what you get is good.
