My husband and I were staying at the Residence Inn for the night so we decided to eat at the restaurant on site. The food, drinks, and service was excellent. The waitress was very nice and even comped our drinks! Our only complaint was that we made reservations to dine outside however other hotel guests were occupying the tables and chairs on the patio. The waitress and hostess did their best to accommodate us and found us a table and chairs. Overall the view was beautiful and I’d love to return.

Great location for a pre-show meal at the Martin-Marietta Center. Good views, good service. Food was mediocre. Your basic hotel restaurant fare. Little pricey for the quality.

Jesse, our waitress was very nice and served us well. Everyone at our table liked their food. The vegetable of the day was zucchini, squash and peppers. The other vegetable offered was asparagus. Neither were liked for two at the table. Wish broccoli had been an alternative. Also, the menu selections for entres was limited. Would have liked to have more options.
