   Hello. Christmas at the confed lounge should b beautiful space filled with Christmas classical music so it’s not like a night club Your music choice was awful. Absolutely brutal considering the audience was ave over 50! Don’t try to b something the cofed lounge isn’t. Play to the folks who pay your bills. Silver Accor member.

   A nice venue. Quite crowded and service was slow but the serving staff were very friendly and accommodating - it was obvious that they were very busy. Overall, I think one of my biggest peeves about booking a reservation anywhere months in advance is that when you arrive you get tossed into a bad location, bad table, uncomfortable area. I would expect more when I take the time to book a month or two in advance like I did.

   It was lovely yet disappointing that we made a reservation weeks in advance and were stuck in a corner.

   We had a lovely table and wonderful server! We enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers! We were surprised with Cheescake on a stick for the 2 Birthday Girls! Really good and a very unexpected touch!

   Menu in the lounge is for small bites - no entrees. Food was very average. Great server.

    I loved the old menu not a fan of this autumn menu. we dined 2 times. November 3 and 4. The first night set next to a family with children (dining room was empty). Monday night, I thought the chicken was terrible. Trout was good and I had both nights. Made my son eat the chicken but even the trout not as good on Monday. We wanted to try Confederation Lounge but the music too loud and seemed cold. Harvest Room , the music perfect for me. I realize music and food subjective.
