View — Restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie

Rating 4.5 Stars (but unable to do so on Google Reviews). Made reservation to have our 2024 Wedding Anniversary dinner here at View in the Delta Hotel. We were greeted immediately with a verbal "Happy Anniversary" by both the Hostess who seated us and our Waitress. One issue with NY cut steak being undercooked in part of the cut (which they quickly rectified once it was brought to their attention), the rest of the meal was superb! High quality ingredients, we started with the grain service for appetiser. Husband had the NY cut steak and I had the cedar planked salmon. Chef was able to accomodate a finicky palate and substitute the mashed potatoes of the day with a baked potato, so that was very appreciated. Both of us were full when dinner was done, but I still wanted to try the Raspberry Rum Cake for dessert. The ONLY thing I was a little disappointed about was (after seeing many other online dining reviews for this restaurant of patrons getting "Happy Anniversary" written on their dessert plate) our dessert plate, while very pretty and elegantly presented, did not have anything personalised, just the circles of the different flavours. I was actually more than a little bummed out, given that they knew it was a celebration and we chose this restaurant to dine at for this annual occasion (booked nearly 2 weeks in advance). That tiny detail that was overlooked by Service could have edged our review to a full 5 stars, in spite of the undercooked steak husband had to wait on while I was finishing off my meal (were we specifically supposed to request the greeting on our dessert plate, even though others stated they were surprised by Service?). Still, a decent meal both in taste and portion size meal. And the cake was delicious,...

I am leaving this review here because Marriott has made it incredibly difficult to submit feedback for hotels and restaurants, ANDDDDD I was utterly disappointed.

I ordered the Thai Chicken Lettuce Wrap and received something completely unexpected. The meal was $17, so not terribly cheap or expensive. The dish consisted of two of one ounce ground chicken with peanut sauce on a small leaf of Romaine lettuce approx 3-4 inches in length, and half a cup of green salad. I was expecting a more of a traditional lettuce wrap with meat and lettuce separate and make your own kind, but I was accepting of its difference but this was quite something.

Anyone with any culinary experience would know what happens to greens if it gets warmed by, oh I don't know, hot ground chicken. So the "wrap" was so wilty the moment it arrived that it couldn't even be picked up by hand.

The portions were so small that I would probably consider this not an entree, but an appetizer. A serving of ground chicken is usually 4 oz and I believe there was maybe two for the dish.

The taste of the dish was unsurprisingly disappointing and bland.

The service was fine.

I really hope this wasn't because of some apocalyptic shortage of labour or raw ingredients because they weren't short in charging me.

P.S. I had to buy a taco salad afterwards (from a different restaurant obviously) because I...

We decided after seeing the patio on the water that this would be our dinner stop the next time we were in the Soo. Fast forward to this evening.

First: Typed sign on the pedestal that the kitchen is closing at 8:45 pm for maintenance, not 10 pm. We arrived at 7:30 pm.

Second: Patio is closed. It's July in Northern Ontario. Why is the patio closed? No reason was given.

Third: The dining room is closed. There was no reason given.

Fourth: Bar seating only. Televisions are on with volume.

The restaurant is inside the Delta hotel. We considered leaving.

We ordered dinner. Service was mediocre. People began piling into the bar and quickly filled the few tables. A group of 8 were turned away. Then, a couple were seated in the dining room or on the patio. So, the two seating options were closed to the majority but not all. This did not leave a very warm and fuzzy feeling. The food was okay. But honestly, for the price, it is very light on portion size.

We will not likely be back due to the lack of professionalism demonstrated by the hotel management for these...
