Thoroughly enjoyed a nice brunch with a few lady friends. It’s nice each guest can choose either buffet or a la cart. Nice quiet ambiance. Attentive service without feeling rushed.

LOVED this restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Had the all inclusive urban resort package from Hotel Arts so had a 3 course meal with wine pairings for dinner and the breakfast buffet the next morning. First, amazing service - everyone was so attentive and friendly and really gave 5 star service. Next the food was TO DIE FOR. Beet burrata appie, pork belly with peanut sauce entree, and red velvet cake for dessert were all delicious. The wine pairings were lovely and they even comped us Prosecco because it was our anniversary. Breakfast buffet was high quality choices like salmon eggs benny, charcuterie, satay meatballs and delicious pastries. Will definitely come here again!

Yellow door as always does not disappoint. It’s been a while since I have had the express lunch. Made me wonder why I don’t come more often for lunch. I like the fact that the lunch menu is a surprise at least it was to me who came on a Monday afternoon but also the fact that you just know that whatever it is, it would be great. Came with a guest and he left loving the place and raving about the food.

Overall good experience. Very slow night so we had a nice cozy booth. Service was friendly and fast. Food was good, wasn't a huge fan of the calamari salad, way too much cream sauce which overpowered it. French onion soup was delicious although not sure its worth the $16 price point. The duck on the chefs three-course menu was amazing!

Yellow door bistro kept popping up with great reviews so we snapped up a reso. All covid protocols were respected and even the horse at the door was wearing a mask! It’s a fairly modern vibe and was a little on the loud side even though there were only a few tables so if you are looking for quiet romance, this might not be 1st choice. With that said, our server was outstanding, it was 1/2 price bottle of wine night and the food was absolutely outstanding. Hubby had the flank steak (can’t remember the menu name) with onion, jalapeño jam and he wanted to order a second it was so good. My Pork with peanut sauce and jasmine rice was also top shelf. The flavours were absolutely amazing. We also had desert which was excellent. All the way around we were happy with the evening. Only miss was that the reso was for my birthday and there was no mention, no “special table” just an outstanding meal - just a little sparkler or thanks for spending your birthday with us would have been the cherry on top.
Hi Dinnerdate, Thank you so much for the awesome review! Our team will be delighted to hear your kind words. I must apologize for not acknowledging your birthday as I know you have many restaurants to choose from these days. I do hope you choose to celebrate with us again. Sincerely, William Blennerhassett GM YDB
Food and service were very good at the Yellow Door Bistro for my first visit back since the beginning of COVID-19. The restaurant was extremely quiet so no issues with social distancing. Staff were positive, pleasant and helpful. The food chioces were quite good - particularly considering how difficult it must be to provide and deliver a full menu during these difficulty days. Hope others will come out to support Hotel Arts.
Hi there, Thank you so much for the awesome review! We appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Sincerely, William Blennerhassett GM YDB
Food is outstanding, and always is! Ambiance is lovely and there are great measures in place to ensure social distancing!
Our server was very sweet, and pleasant, but service was slow (especially considering we ordered the express lunch and there were very few people in the restaurant).
Overall, it was a fantastic lunch!
The Cubano Eggs Benedict was really excellent and we enjoyed the restaurant

I really like the service and the environment. The food was not bad but it was also not great for the price. We ordered Eggs Benedict Mushroom. The bread was too hard and the taste of eggs was not very interesting. Coffee was pretty good.
Great food! Great service! price was right!

Just about all the food was too salty, heavy on bread and a bit on a dry side, except for the pasta that was a bit too soft. The rest was good.

We had a great experience here last night for our anniversary. The staff was knowledgeable on the food and drinks and very professional. The food was amazing right down to the sourdough bread they brought us before our main dish. Everything was plated very elegantly. The restaurant feel
overall was amazing. Their colour scheme and their decor for table settings and everything was great, pops of colour and cool seating for their tables.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to host my birthday there next summer because the setup and feel of the restaurant was just so nice. Hats off to the chef and our sever we had a wonderful time ! I
100 % recommend dinning here for any occasion!
Their 3 course menu is always changing and always amazing. Great value. Great wine recommendations. Great service. Great everything.
Hi KatieH, Thank you for reviewing your most recent experience at Yellow Door Bistro. I'm delighted that you had a pleasant dining experience with us and we hope to see you again soon. Regards, William Blennerhassett GM YDB
Food was incredible. Tried the table top buffet and it was a lot of food. Service was also amazing
Enjoyed the decor of the restaurant and the service was excellent. I had the Grilled Spiced Ribeye. The steak itself was excellent but with in sitting on a sauce and than the pepper garnish on top it overwhelmed the steak, plus there was another sauce on the potato. My Wife had the Halibut, which she enjoyed but again there were to many things going on with this dish as well. Nice Wine list and a good selection of by the glass wines. We had Breakfast here as well and that was excellent, pancakes are awesome. Pool side we tried the Wings, great, twice fried fries, good, Baby Shrimp BLT, nice presentation and good, and Szechuan pickle brined fried chicken, very good. The sourdough flatbreads look good, will try next time for sure.
Excellent food served well. Fabulous wine as well.
Breakfast was delicious. Atmosphere was very relaxed and seating was comfortable. After eating we were able to continue our experience by enjoying a beverage beside the pool in the sunshine. Felt like we had actually gotten away for the day and the pineapple mojito was absolutely amazing.
Great food, like really I'm not sure how these guys aren't more well known! They have a top three of all time beef tartares, a ribeye to drool over and serve old-fashioneds with these beautiful brandied cherries. So good. Beautiful food, excellent service, stylish atmosphere. Some tasty.
Friday nights feature half price wines by the bottle, which is a great way to unwind with a friend after a long work week. The bistro serves a Cobb salad that is really delicious, and it was easy to social distance properly and enjoy our meal.
I spent my birthday there and it was such a nice experience. Awesome staff and food. Would recommend!
Server (Danny?) Was amazing! The food was incredible. Such a great meal for an awesome price!
I want to start by saying the server Corey was absolutely fantastic! My girlfriend and I came in for our 2 year anniversary unfortunately when we ended up moving outside our server Sheena was not good at all, when ordering I asked her to please check if the duck pasta has any dairy products as I am anaphylactic allergic to dairy. She assured me there was no dairy. 15 mins later my food shows up with parmesan cheese in the sauce... lucky I noticed the faint white powder before eating it. Obviously this was pretty annoying as this would have sent me to the hospital thus ruining our evening. I had a lot of hope for this restaurant as I have heard good things. Unfortunately the service provided was very poor.
Server was awesome made great recommendations for food .
Update August 15: I had a lovely experience with my family today at brunch. The restaurant treated us incredibly well and made the experience so comfortable. The food was delicious, and everyone made sure that we were well taken care of- we really appreciated all of the special touches, and it felt like home!
I was so disappointed to go and not have an excellent time here. I have been a devout attender of the yellow door brunch, which I have always found to be excellent! Understandably, things had to change with covid 19, so rather than the buffet, which I loved, they had a “table service”. The table service cost much more, for a very small amount of food with no selection. It was a set menu, and despite a suggestion that there would be an “assortment” of sweet and savory options, there was really a small amount of tiny tasting items, apart from the main course, which was very rich, and good, but not to everyone’s liking. It’s so unfortunate that one of my favourite places to eat has been impacted so much by the coronavirus, but I think they could’ve done better to re-create their beautiful brunch experience on the table top.
*Update: recently, the restaurant reached out, which was a wonderful gesture. I will definitely be trying again with Yellow Door, And I hope that the experience is like the “good old days”
Our server was good, but the food took an hour and twenty minutes to get to our table. They did compensate by giving us drinks and dessert for free of charge.
Enjoyed our brunch...did a great job of maintaining space between tables and Keeping things clean given Covid.
Outstanding service and focused attention to covid limitations. Was impressed how team managed a group who were very much not social distancing at a birthday bash (they were incredibly loud and drunk and did kindof kill the ambiance) by approaching them about max number at the table etc. The food remains divine and truly outstanding and attentive server with great recommendations.
Great food, great restaurant and great service. Would go again
