Le Mezz Bistro Bar sits inside the hotel and draws attention for attentive service, with staff described as very nice. A misstep with a kid's menu involved adult size crepes being served and charged. A breakfast charge to the hotel account was higher than expected. Fries did not meet the hoped crunch, but the burger and onion rings were very nice.View restaurant profile
