“ This was my first visit to Canada, and I stayed at the Marriott with Spin on the main floor, oh my was I impressed! Aside from the comfort and beauty of my room, I came down for breakfast expecting the usual complimentary service and was met by a hostess! I got the buffet and enjoyed a custom omelet, bacon, roasted vegetables, fruit, the smoothest coffee ever and Albert's service! He was responsive, friendly, helpful, and kind. Thank you for an amazing first time experience Spin, Albert, and chef! ”

“ Had an amazing experience with my wife and her family during the breakfast and dinner services on multiple days. The staff were courteous and the food was always fresh tasting and made to our liking. For many of the breakfasts we had, Albert did an amazing job making sure that any thing that we needed was answered for. The attention to detail was honestly really impressive and made the whole experience that much better! During the dinner services, our server was a Colombian gentleman (I’m sorry for forgetting his name!) and he truly made my wife’s whole family feel at home as they flew all the way from Colombia for this trip. Amazing time, amazing food, amazing service! ”

“ We had the best experience. Two days in a row Albert attended to my family and I and there aren’t enough words to recognize his professionalism and excellence. The food was delicious (cheers to the chefs) and he was simply tremendous. I highly recommend you visit and give them a try. Merci beaucoup! ”

“ Our server Albert was the best. He was focused on every detail and every person's needs at our table. The food was great and the hospitality even better . Thank you so much Albert for starting our day with good food, a good time topped off with a good memory. ”

“ Spin is an upscale bar & restaurant with a splendid array of food and drink, something for every discerning palette. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are superb Spin has been a sanctuary over the past two holiday seasons. My new addiction. Sports on the big screen are a plus. The hotel hosts many hockey teams, incuding World Juniors. The vibe in the bar is lively, eclectic & electric. Have enjoyed Rum & Coke, Clam Chowder, Mushrooms on Toast, Mushroom Ravioli, Chicken Thighs, Marinated Sicilian Olives, Chocolate Mousse Cake & a Vanilla Sundae. Amazing dishes, service, atmosphere & value. Was on the floor for a few visits. Had the Mushrooms on Toast on Christmas Day. Hai was a polite, friendly, knowledgeable, discrete & professional server. We discussed some menu items & it was clear more visits were needed to sample & appreciate the full array. Was back on Boxing Day 2024. Sat in the same seat with a fine view of the screen. Hai came by, said hello & brought over my drink order. Locked in the Wild Mushroom Ravioli & settled in to watch the World Juniors Hai noticed my menu deliberations & provided me with the Breakfast & Lunch Menus. After thorough perusal, resolved to adjust my routines & bicycle over more often. Hai came over with the Wild Mushroom Ravioli & placed the dish in front of me with a flourish. Each ravioli fit perfectly on my spoon & was gratefully received & enjoyed. Worked my way through the deep dish savouring every slice, puntuated by sips of spiced rum & coke & cheers from the crowd as Canada made big plays & skated to a 3-0 win Selected the Marinated Sicilian Olives from the bar snack menu, tangy from the lemon & garlic. Topped off the evening with a repeat on the Chocolate Mousse. Wow. An incredible night of dining and sampling. Chatted with Hai throughout the evening as he made his appointed rounds. Turns out we went to the same post-secondary institutions. He's an Economics major from a family of chefs. He told me of his journey to the Marriot. Wrote down one of his observations ... "your strengths come from your weakness." Hai's a philosopher & a student of his craft. Noted the Festive Table D'Hote Turkey dinner on the menu & remarked that stranded travellers looking for some Christmas cheer would be comforted by the tastes & aromas of home away from home for the holidays. Will have to wait until next year to enjoy the piece de resistance. On a recent visit bartender extraordinaire Hawa recommended the East Coast Chowder. Took his advice and enjoyed every spoonful. A soup which is like a meal. Recommended Was back on New Year's Day 2025 & selected the Chicken Thighs. Hawa affirmed the selection. Every bite was superb. Highly recommended. Hawa said it was his go-to, along with the Trout. Will be back for that in the near future Topped off the evening with a vanilla ice cream/chocolate drizzle Vanilla Sundae. Don't think it's on the menu so ask for it. Will be back to Spin soon & often. A gem in the National Capital Bon appetite! ”

“ Restaurant & Bar service was exceptional! Ambience, service! Congenial, warm & welcoming...Fabulous jewel in the Heart of the nation's capital! Brekfast, lunch Anytime! The Creme brulee though! HNY All! ”

“ 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. ”

“ We also were very lucky to have Mr. Albert as our waiter. We are a family with 3 kids and he cared about everything to make us feel comfortable and satisfied. The dinners we had were delicious and the staff was very welcoming. The food was great and the atmosphere fits for every occasion. Totally recommend if you are around! ”
