   I usually have a good experience here, though I know to dress warm as the AC runs cool, and sometimes can be a bit noisy, but not too bad. I enjoyed the butternut squash risotto with shrimp, but this time they managed to burn the brussels sprouts and still served them - tells me the quality control is lacking a bit. Overall, I enjoy coming to this place for lunch, on business or with colleagues.

   We love Main Kitchen’s yummy food and excellent service. They are especially convenient for dinner prior to shows in the Theatre District.

   Good food and great location. The location was three blocks from our earlier engagement, so it was a perfect ending to the night.

   Service was extremely slow. We waited over 30 min. to get our bill and that is when one of us went to find them. Food was incredible; prices were high.

   Our server was great, very friendly and funny but not too intrusive. My shrimp with risotto was great, still thinking about it! Delicious bread pudding, too. We were so full we almost didn’t go to our show!

   Over two days, went there for cocktails and breakfast. Each time food was very good and service was excellent. Were attentive without being overbearing. Can be hard to get a seat at the bar in the evenings but they sat us in tables in the dining room no problem. G&T menu was a nice surprise. Very good.

    Food was delicious. Did not know that it was the hotel restaurant. Would not have booked it if it said it was in the JW Marriot. Once we arrived we chose to stay for convenience. Food was VERY VERY good. Ambiance...not so great.

    The service was great, the food really wasn't. This is my 3rd time there and I have not been able to eat something worth going back. The salmon was dried and overpriced. There are multiple options downtown with better salads/salmon.

    Good food. More expensive than it needs to be. We got 3 dinner salads, 2 orders of fish tacos, and 2 appetizers. Total was $180 pre-tip. Only good for a business lunch at those prices, but I expect they know that and have priced accordingly. I'm not going there for a lunch I cannot expense.

    It was great to find an open restaurant in Houston after 9 PM… The menu looks good but it is not so well prepared. Pasta was far harder than Al dente, shrimps overcooked… the waitress was not kind, correct but not nice.

    This is a great option. Good food. Good location. For some reason, however, it takes a long time to get seated (ie no one at the host stand) and a long time for your waiter to come by for your order. I’ve eaten here several times. This isn’t a new problem. I don’t know if it’s due to poor staffing or inattentiveness. Once you’re seated and have seen a waiter, service is smooth without any delays. They really need to work on that front end transition. Love the food and the atmosphere. Absolutely will come back.

    Overall slow service and overpriced and not the food. There were just a lot of weird fee added to the bill. If the service had been good, then I wouldn’t mind. But overall the worst dining experience I’ve had in a while. The chef was easily the brightest aspect of our visit and cheers to him.
