Review content:
attended a conference at the Marriott and Lido's was a quick stroll away from the hotel lobby in the adjacent parking lot. Due to its proximity, I came here couple of times, once for drinks and another for lunch. Both visits were equally fabulous. My preference and recommendation is to sit outside on the canopied porch, with the decor being vibrant and upscale. During cool evenings, heat lamps and tasty drinks kept me warm. During lunch, the sun shines through the canopy and softly illuminates the porch. The food was exceptionally well presented and the flavors did not disappoint, matching the vibrant colors. I ordered the Seared Scallops as an appetizer to share with Patrick H., which were garnished with sweet corn succotash, bell peppers and tarragon oil. Presentation deserved five stars, and the scallops were moist and well seared, receiving an easily five star rating from my palate. For my main lunch dish, I indulged in the Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad, as I was starting to feel a bit plump from all of the food I consumed during the week at the conference. This was exactly what I desired, a light and fresh dish. The salad included romain lettuce, green beans, tomatoes, capers, fingerling potatoes, hard boils egg, garnished with a delightful lemon vinaigrette. Another five star dish that disappeared in record time. Since both dishes were amazing, I decided to finish off with a light dessert. The Lemon Semifreddo was recommended to me by the waitress, as being the lightest on the menu. It was very delicious, topped with fresh sweet strawberries and pinenuts. The staff was always pleasant and attractive, which only complements the interior decor and cuisine. They were very attentive and appreciative of our business. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we enjoyed timely service throughout. I would definitely recommend this place if you are staying at the Marriott, and not just for its convenience.
