T	Trena Kraft on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are Marriott members and this was the first time at the hotel. After checking in after a eight hour drive we went down to the bistro for a drink. The menu looks good and there is a wide variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from. There is a great view and lovely patio.
J	Jeremy Cabia-an on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited today to experience dome dining. Food was great no doubt about that! I understand that there is demand for the experience, but 90 minutes did not feel enough time to fully immerse in the experience considering it does take time to get the food plus the $50 fee for reservation. We didnt have enough time to feel that we could get drinks or dessert, and we only had enough time to eat quickly. I know the server is suppose to remind us of our time, but it felt even more rushed as he kept reminding us almost every time he came by.
R	Row Eb on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Views were lovely, food was alright but overpriced. Service was great while we dined and they even gave my mom a complementary cake slice for her birthday. One issue that made me wary going in was the inconsistent communication when I called to reserve an igloo. I got conflicting information about whether our reservation was confirmed or not from several staff members and had to keep calling to get a straight answer. Overall, the igloo dining was a unique experience and I would recommend it
K	Kay Charbonneau on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My lunch at the Riverside bistro was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We took our nephew who is a pilot with A major airline to lunch. It took over 2 1/2 hours to get a small soup and salad combo. They muttered something about the tape with the order had run out so our order was lost. The explanation made no sense. They offered no compensation and threw a plate of truffle fries (French fries sprinkled with Parmesan) on our table which no one wanted. I guess that was to fill the void while we continue to wait for our order. To add insult to injury, we had to hunt somebody down to get our bill. I appreciate that there has been staff shortages due to Covid but this was clearly not the case. I am not one to ever write reviews but this experience was both expensive and embarrassing.
A	Angie T. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The domes are really fun. It does get expensive if there's only 2 people. But if you split the $50 between 4 or 6 people, it's reasonable. There were 3 little space heaters so everyone was nice & toasty warm. The hotel also has light fleece blankets if you extra warmth. The service was great & our server was awesome making sure we had everything we needed. The bugers were awesome, according to my friends. I had the salmon which was fantastic. It was a great meal & the sun came out in the afternoon, which also warmed the dome. It's a great view of both downtown & the river valley. I highly recommend eating in the domes with friends.
S	Sandra Overman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a wonderful meal in a cute bubble/igloo under lights overlooking the Frozen River while the snow fell around us. I highly recommend this!
M	Maria Carcamo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ November 20 2021, we just had my sisters birthday in the igloos. Words cannot express how amazing this experience was. The views, service, and especially the food all top notch. I would highly recommend this for any occasion from girls night out to intimate dinner with your partner. I will definitely be coming back and doing this again. If I could give it more than five stars I definitely would.
L	L C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great time and a ton of fun. Very easy to reserve a time online through opentable, it sent a reminder a couple days before and required you to confirm through your email. Great opportunity to take memorable photos while enjoying a meal for a special occasion. Igloos had 2 small space heaters in them so was warm and cozy. Felt very private. Waiter was very polite and would check up on us just enough, would be there whenever we needed something. Food was delicious, starters and salads were super sharable and mains were very tasty. Once the sun went down the colorful lights were very bright and made for great photos!! Waiter knew how to take photos ?. While waiting for food we were able to wander outside the igloos and enjoy the beautiful riverside view. The parking lot in front also had quite a view! Would recommend for special occasions and take ALL THE PHOTOS since there are extra costs for dining in the igloo and limited seating time. Fun dining experience. P.S parking for the entire evening is 15$, I heard valet parking is 5$, take your pick.
