Bistro 1501 Orlando Marriott Lake Mary

Food delivery was SLOW and foot had to be sent back each time due to it being either COLD or burned black. I had the same meal two days in a row with vastly different results. The couple I sat with received flatbread that was black on the bottom, sent it back, and got a second black bottomed flatbread. They ordered pulled pork nachos as a replacement and the chips were so browned they did not look edible, and the day-glo orange goo on the top covered any toppings there might have been. My bowl of soup and scallops were so good on Friday that I ordered them again on Saturday. This time I received a cup of soup instead of a bowl, and the scallop dish had been too long under the broiler and everything was Brown and unappetizing.

The waitress was wonderful and attentive. Service was wonderful. Wonderful mimosas sweet n lovely for breakfast. Very good antipasto and prime rib. The pork chop was tasty. Nice smoked salmon. The breakfast station was lovely. The scallops were good. However, some of the meat items for lunch were a bit tough n bland which at times can happen in a buffet. The shrimp cocktail after awhile was swimming in cold water not in ice. The dessert station really needs a chocolate fountain to make it pop since there were only a small selection for dessert, ex: 3 types of cakes. Good for the price and I would give it a five stars if the temperature was right on the shrimp n some of the meats were not tough and bland. We went just after noon n not on a holiday. I would go again since its close to home and nearer for my parents.

The Sunday brunch is just outstanding! There are so many items from which to choose it is just amazing. Made to order omelets, Eggs Benedict, all your breakfast items from bagels to waffles, pastries and fruit. Tasty and imaginative salads, smoked salmon, peel and eat shrimp, prime rib and several lunch entrees that change every week. Will it be lobster ravioli, BBQ baby back ribs, roast pork, salmon in a dill cream sauce, rock shrimp fritter? Desserts are varied and always delicious! One of our favorite places for brunch.

This was the best brunch I have ever attended. So many choices.

This brunch never disappoints. The shrimp are large, the beef is tender, and the omelette station offers lots of choices and a fluffy concoction. I ordered the mimosa which had plenty of the bubblies. We stayed for almost two hours and were never felt rushed. The server Sandra, was friendly and helpful.
