   One guest enjoyed the strip loin and another the king salmon. The set menu for Christmas Day included turkey which unfortunately my husband and I selected. It was rolled and not pleasing. The lighting at our table was low, the service was slow and interesting that one of the mail servers served the men before the women. We would not return for another meal at Braven.

   I booked lunch on Christmas Day (2pm ) - and wrongly assumed there would be a Christmas Lunch style menu at this somewhat prestigious city hotel. Disappointed to discover only a regular ‘Brunch’ menu was available. We made the best of it and had a delicious steak frites. Cooked exactly as we wanted it. Not much ambience as we were only one of four occupied tables in a restaurant that had probably 50 covers. The main course was excellent- the dessert I selected - crème brûlée was as expected and the service was Marriott standard- good. Their dinner menu commenced at 5pm - but again - nothing relative to Christmas as far as I could determine. We made it a nice day - glad we took our own Christmas trimmings ( crackers etc ) but surprised Marriott didn’t make more of it.

   Food is not good. We tried because not much restaurant open on Christmas Day and not gonna comeback. We have a baby and they cannot change the omelette in the menu we are gonna pay extra anyway just add some spinach and tomato because he likes it. Chicken and waffles is just sweet. Looks like popcorn chicken that is over fried and waffles kinda just taste like Eggo Short rib Poutine is not bad but it's not poutine. Its like a deep fried mashed potato. And for us it also cannot be tater tots. I gave more stars for service because the Manager is nice and tried her best to make it up but we are hungry and we have plans later so we can't wait longer there. Anyway not gonna comeback JW Marriot in other cities has better restaurants. This one is not good.

   We decided to reserve a table at Braven after the Oilers game we were attending. Our server Jeramy was wonderful. He was attentive but not overbearing, always around when we needed him. He was friendly and we enjoyed conversing with him. I felt really special and it was in part to his excellent service. The food was delicious and we did not wait excessively for it. We shared a bottle of wine, my husband had the Bolognese and I had the burger; both were delicious. The restaurant is pricy but completely worth it. Between the food and the service, we had no problem with the price point. We will be returning.

   The food is okay, one could honestly make the same steaks at home, if not better. Could be a fun place to grab some drinks and food after an Oilers game with friends. If you're looking for a nice steak house for a special date, I would go elsewhere.

   Our server Nick was really fantastic. He was attentive and helped me pair my drinks perfectly. The Surf and Turf was outstanding! The menu description doesn’t do it justice, the flavours were all unique and it was great quality. Look forward to our next visit!

    Service was excellent, though drinks took a bit longer due to a pre-game rush. Food was phenomenal. All 4 of us ordered different things and they were all delicious - The mashed potatoes alongside the steak were exceptionally smooth and creamy, the Berkshire pork cutlet was juicy, flavorful, and had the thinnest of fried coatings on it. The burger was excellent, as was the Mac and cheese. The carrot ginger soup was luxurious and tasty.
