The Blue Bistro at the Tampa Westshore Marriott

Had a couple of fish taco’s and kettle chips and it was really good. Our server was very good, friendly, and even had a bit of a sense of humor. The chips were awesome, and were not soggy at all. The fish tacos were really good. All in all was a nice experience.

Service is here spectacular!
The falafel is very good. The burgers are yummy and huge.
I always spend way too much time here when I stay at the Marriott.

Much more then I expected. Ordered an Angus Beef Burger accompanied by fries.
Started with Hot English Tea. They keep the AC at a very uncomfortable Freeze you to the bone.
Not good for Sales of Bar Drinks.(Burrr).
Unless they provide a complimentary Jacket.
The Tea is Served in an Elegant Tea Pot. Very nice.
Burger was Cooked medium well. Gluten Free Bread is Excellent. Fries Served Hot. Perfect temperature. Very good dining experience.
Highly recommend this place.
Pedros Service is Excellent:-)

Great breakfast albeit at hotel prices. The egg white omelet was tasty. Service was very friendly and prompt. I recommend this place for a quick bite.

The Blue Bistro is a lounge/​restaurant at the Westshore Marriott. Normally I wouldn’t visit a hotel bar unless I was staying at the hotel, but my out of town co-​worker was staying here so I joined her for a few drinks.
The lounge had plenty of seating at the bar as well as high-​top tables. We opted for a high-​top since we had a third co-​worker joining us. Service was painfully slow in our section so I regret not sitting at the bar. We constantly had to flag down our waitress to receive service which was annoying since the lounge and restaurant were half empty. We would have ordered a third round of drinks, but settled on nursing our second drink for almost an hour before we finally had to flag down our server for the check. Once she finally brought us the check she never came back to run our card so we had to flag her down again…
Note: The Unilocal check-​in offer for a free beer or wine at The Blue Bistro is not valid. When we asked about the offer our waitress said they weren’t accepting the check-​in offer.

One star is being generous :(
Unfortunately a very bad choice. I frequent hotels once a week due to business and tend to frequent the designated hotel eateries just as often. This was bad all around. From the appetizer to main course I have never had worse food then this. It’s almost always a lower expectation when you choose to dine in hotel but this was beyond bad. The Seared tuna appetizer was dry and tasteless and the main portions ordered,(mushroom burger and chicken salad) were worse. This was an overall disappointment and in the end EXTREME mark up for less than mediocre food. Makes me question the Marriott stay as a whole if this is my option. Won’t be returning. Seems only «Eddie m «finds this place maxing. Makes u wonder

Nice dinner server was worried on it how to return the fish but when it came we came out it was awesome

Had great service at the bar last night. The drinks were generous and the food was good. Not sure how they were able to keep up when the bar filled up, but they did and I appreciated it. I had the bleu cheese burger with a side salad and a couple of drinks. They have a good assortment of single malt and blend scotches and several good bourbons, but no draft beers; bottle only.

First of all, 1 star is way too much. Our experience was terrible! No one acknowledged us. We were a party of 7. Staff was so rude and refused to seat us even after when we asked on two separate occasions they just said «yes» and walked away. When we asked to speak to a mgr he was very rude and said «see ya, have a good day» and walked away. Pathetic, do not recommend at all.

We went here for dinner instead of the Doubletree where we were staying — we actually started walking around the area, and there weren’t many options besides the hotel restaurants.
It was a Sunday night, and the places wasn’t that busy. NFL football on the multiple televisions. The menu selections were fine, with a Florida (tropical) twist — but basic sandwiches, salads and main entrees.
The wife had a salad and I had the fish tacos. The service was little slow, as the one person was covering the bar and serving tables. The food was fine.
Its a nice enough place, a little pricey, but its a hotel restaurant.

I stayed here at the Marriott for a conference. Came to this restaurant for dinner with a group of 10 people. The food was great and the service was very attentive.
I did check-​in through Unilocal at the Marriott when I got here and they had a check-​in deal that gives you 1 free wine or beer. It said to get your free drink at the Blue restaurant here inside the Marriott. When I showed my waitress this check-​in offer she said that they do not take these. But she told me that she could bring the manager over to see what she could do. When the manager came over she was very understanding and allowed anyone of my group that checked in to have a free drink. So it worked out overall but just strange that there was confusion with this. Overall the manager was wonderful and very helpful. After she spoke to us, she made sure to keep coming over and checking our table.
I would recommend this restaurant for large groups. Food was great.

Been here a few times this year while on business. It’s reliable hotel food. Get the conch chowder, spicy tomato broth, not too much of a kick, staple comfort item. The banquet and restaurant staff here are very friendly, especially the German girl. She’s polite, makes suggestions, doesn’t hover yet does her job by offering dessert and extra drinks. Don’t let the often quiet restaurant fool you – if you are too tired to leave the hotel and venture out, you are in good hands.

Typical hotel restaurant — not bad but nothing special. But they did ding me for tea for $ 4 which I thought was a bit absurd.
