Located inside of a Marriott, the Plaza One Grille did not disappoint. After purchasing a great deal on Groupon; two entries, two glasses of wine, two salads & one dessert for $50, we decided to try the Plaza One Grille to celebrate our anniversary. One may enter from their own side entrance or via The main lobby. There is also free parking. The Marriott did a great job with the decor. Not only does one feel like they are at an expensive restaurant, but a traveler wouldn't feel embarrassed if all they packed were t-shirts and jeans. They really walk that fine line well. Not only does the decor lend itself to various occasions, so does the menu. There are options to accommodate any budget. One can choose from $8 sandwiches or salads, or chose from higher end items such as $38 fillets, and anything in between. I had a buttery tender fillet. One of the best I have ever had. The meet was cooked just as I ordered it. It came with sweet potatoes au gratin and fresh green beans. The sweet potatoes had a meaty texture. Almost, like salmon. They paired well with the cheese in them. My husband had the strip steak. His came with hand cut potato wedges and green beans. He enjoyed his food as well. The Caesar salads were a bit overdressed for our tastes, but not enough to take away a star. The lettuce was still nice and crisp. It had obviously been dressed just before service. I would suggest ordering the dressing on the side. We were also brought some pita with cream cheese. The bread was more like plain Indian naan bread than pita. That being said, it was soft, warm, and delicious. Their wine list had a bit of everything in the $7 to $9 price range. Last was dessert. Rather than share, we ordered two. The tiramisu & chocolate lava cake. The tiramisu was done well, with complex flavors. I really liked the delicate sugar crust on the outter lady fingers. Definitely enough to share. The chocolate lava cake was much smaller. More like a chocolate bunt cake, ( no "lava") but still good. Service was excellent. Gabe was the perfect mix of friendly and attentive, without being overly so. We had a wonderful meal, wonderful service, and would be happy to go back again.

I really wanted to like this place! We found it through a Groupon offer and thought it was a great deal.. All started off well. The service was fantastic. Our waiter let us order wine off the non-Groupon list and still included it in our discount. He was very warm and attentive. We also received service from a woman I assume was a manager of some sort. Excellent kind service. The atmosphere is very nice as well. Clean and inviting, for what you expect to be a semi- fine dining experience. Unfortunately, the food does not meet this standard in the least. With the exception of the bread offered (warm pita triangles with a delicious dip) the food was very low quality. Salad greens were not especially crisp/fresh. The ribeye entree that my husband and I both ordered was some of the worst steak I have eaten... ever. 40% of the steaks were actually fat (not marbling, fat). The steaks were stringy and not cooked to order. (his over and mine under). The asparagus on the plate was limp and discolored- I didnt even try it. The chive mashed potatoes were edible with nice texture, but didnt taste especially fresh. One of the poorer meals I have eaten in a very long time. I don't know if it's the chef or the resources he has to work with, but I hope there's some significant improvement in the food. It would have been a disaster to have paid full price for this meal.

If you're in the mood for an appetizer, the Rosemary Trufle Fries are phenomenal! I also recommend the Grown-up Grilled Cheese for the main course- best Grilled Cheese ever!

I love this place! The food is delicious. The flat breads are my personal favorite. The staff is always friendly and the venue is beautiful. There is also nice outdoor seating that has a pretty view of the river and the city! If you are ever in town the plaza one grille is defiantly a place you should visit!

So glad this classy place is here. Fine service and a great menu. I had the snapper last week and the salmon tonight. Kudos to Jamie the chef. Everything about both dishes was perfectly balanced and delicious! Check out this well-kept secret in downtown Hamilton!!
