The Bistro Eat. Drink. Connect.

If you like crab cakes. Head here. The location and the setting will surprise you. The food is very good. Surprise yourself with some good crab cakes at a very reasonable price. Not much filler and the creole mustard accompaniment is very good. The restaurant is in the hotel in a large open area.

Food was meh. There wasn't much service. It's convenient if you're at the hotel, but there's much better food in Newark than that.

I thought the service was excellent and the food outstanding. The crab cakes are as advertised. Definitely worth another visit.

Great place to get together with friends for dinner and drinks on Friday and Saturday nights.

We went to the Courtyard Restaurant attracted by its widely advertised fame that its crab cakes were the best in Delaware. And we were not disappointed they really are superb. Practically no fillings and all lump crab meat. My wife and I shared an antipasto of some kind of focaccia topped with pesto and prosciutto and we then ordered the crab cake platters. They came with a very tasty side dish of mashed potatoes and string beans, these last perhaps a bit too raw. And, of course, we had a glass of Chardonnay to wash everything down. The total bill came to 81.00. The restaurant itself is not very attractive it's in the lobby of the hotel; and the service, by a very courteous and pleasant young lady Jenna was excellent but slow. It wasn't her fault, though. She seemed to be the only one working in the restaurant. Other than that, we had no complaints and plan to return.
