Very good food, well prepared and presented. Super nice staff. The bar and restaurant has giant windows looking out into a green space area with patio and pool. Lots of light. It feels like a calming oasis. Great spot as part of the Marriott, which was recently renovated. We‘m be back both for the restaurant and overnight.

Not a bad restaurant for a hotel. Stay here enough to know the food is decent, nothing exceptional but the service is always a bit lacking. I think they are typically working with the bare minimum and it reflects in lack of detail and attention from the servers. I will go here again because it is convenient.

Not a great date spot. Food was mid. Being in a hotel kind of kills the vibe. Best thing here was the decorations, candles, and setup for Valentines Day. Service was not bad.

Not impressed with the service here. There are only a couple of options on the drinks menu for wine by the glass per type of wine, although plenty overpriced choices for full bottles. As an individual business diner staying at the hotel on a quiet night, they were out of the only decent wine option and did not offer to open a comparable bottle from the menu as a replacement. They did pour me a generous portion of the lesser option which really wasn’t good! After finishing the OK meal, this hotel restaurant did not have the ability to charge to the room, which is very inconvenient. Overall it was just OK, but given the price point of this mediocre offering, I wish I’d taken an Uber to somewhere better nearby.
