   Very slow service and we were the only table in the restaurant (5 people). Food was average at best.

   We've never been disappointed before but this time was a big letdown from what we were expecting. Overpriced to say the least for a minimal selection of poorly set up warm entrees and side dishes. Staff should be old enough to serve alcoholic drinks and properly trained to provide service worthy of the reservation.

   We had 0900 breakfast reservations Sunday morning on Mother’s Day. When they were made there was no indication that the breakfast buffet would start breaking down at 0930 for an upcoming brunch. Breakfast was rushed so we had to hurry to get what we wanted off the buffet and even some items that were once on the buffet like oatmeal weren’t even offered or already removed. They also advised after seating us that you had to get the buffet as no items were being allowed off the menu. Pretty disappointing and shoddy planning by the manager, host, etc for the way people were treated and seemingly rushed. For 4 people it was over 100 with tip and so not worth it. If I had know I wouldn’t have made the reservation. It should have been listed on Open Table that this may be an issue. Very disappointing.

   Southern Oak is a great place to have a nice family dinner. They have a variety of fresh selections and the service was amazing. I highly recommend.

   It was very nice place it was pricey but I don’t mind paying if the food is worth the price and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had the mashed potatoes where amazing and the pork belly was delicious.

    Third year to enjoy Thanksgiving there. The food choices, food quality, and service have always been outstanding. Always recommend to friends but many think it is too expensive. However, we find that you could not get a better meal at a better restaurant, with all of the food choices, for a better price.

    It is your basic breakfast buffet. It is ok, no more no less. I was expecting a brunch type dining experience. There are so many nice Sunday brunch/ lunch places in the area. We were hotel guest and I thought this would be convenient but still “nice”. If you just want breakfast and someone to drop the check on the table as soon as you start eating. Sure, go it’s fine. If you want a nice Sunday brunch experience it’s not for you.

    The food is really good with nice portions. Nice selection too. Knowing they were short staffed the night we were there, they did a good job doing their best with timing of food and drinks (I imagine it would have been better if they had the proper staffing). I would definitely go there again.

    Nnon existent server who struggled all night. Had to get him to find him and forgot to ask for temps on steaks. Brought out wrong food once. Food had zero flavor and we were sat next to the hotel breakfast buffet. Did not acknowledge the special occasion and we ended up going out two days later to celebrate it since this was so bad. Also, a wedge salad doesn’t need to be in a lopsided bowl where you can’t cut it without flipping the bowl over. The biscuit appetizer was burnt

    The food is average at best and overpriced. They had 3 servers on duty 2 were taking care of a large party and 1 had the rest of the tables. My biggest complaint is that I was overcharged. I asked for the check to be split between 2 credit cards. The total was $195 $60 on 1 card and $135 on another card. I was actually charged $195 on 1 card and $135 on the other plus I left a $40 tip. I have called and left messages 3 times without a call back. Very disappointing and substandard for a high end Marriot property.

    Nice restaurant and although I had reservations, they were not needed. The appetizer were great! The food was good, but the cook doesn’t understand what medium means. Our steaks were well done. To be honest, Longhorn serves a much better steak at a fair price.

    We went with Mother's Day reservations at 1:30 p.m., not realizing that it was a buffet. We also did not realize it was $69 per person. If that was posted somewhere, none of us saw it. Most of the food was lukewarm or congealed, and not very exciting. The meat carving was novice. The table service was virtually non-existent; we had plates stacked on our table without being cleared. The one drink we ordered was a Bloody Mary. It was brought to us room temperature with no garnish. We sent it back and got the same drink with ice cubes added. This was our first time here, so I have no idea if this is typical, or perhaps a one-time issue due to low staffing. Even though there was plenty of room to spread out, we were seated right next to another family. The one bright spot was that we struck up an enjoyable conversation with them. Overall, I really feel like our family of three spent $250 to be almost insulted by poor food and bad service.

    The most over priced ($69.99 per person) buffet I have ever had in my life! The food was mediocre at best and they were understaffed (but doing the best they could to keep up with drink orders etc). The omelets were great but the rest of the buffet was nothing to write home about and we felt like it was highway robbery for this family of 4!

    Here for Mother’s Day brunch at $80/pp No scrambled eggs. Breakfast potatoes or bacon Long wait for omelette station Arguably one of the worst buffets I’ve experienced and at that price—easily the worst

    I had no idea of the per person cost of the Mother’s Day brunch. It was $69 per person. One could say I should have checked but I thought even $40 unwarranted and suspected something less than that. My bill was a shock. I will never again trust this establishment as I did yesterday. The bill spoiled the entire day and still annoys me.

    We didn't actually get to eat in the restaurant. Graduation weekend so they changed it to a buffet, $50pp, and put us into a banquet hall that was empty, except 5 other tables at 6;45. Total price gauging.
