The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect.® — Restaurant in Newark

The Bistro could easily score 4 of 5 stars with a little more attention to detail. Here's a tip, go to the bar to order.

This is more a place where a weary traveler can get a drink after a long flight before crashing in their room upstairs. There is an effort to make it seem classy, but there is no reason anyone should be going here unless they are staying in the hotel and they just find it convenient.
