In a word… horrific. Marriott should be ashamed to offer this in their property. For breakfast, everything is pre-made, tasteless, and stale. Extremely limited “buffet” of only reheated potatoes, fake eggs, greasy & limp bacon, and factory sausages. No to-order meals. One “server” for the entire restaurant that seems only able to refill your water and bring your over-priced check.

We usually come here every year for Thanksgiving, but was disappointed this year. I really enjoy the ambience of the restaurant and they moved their Thanksgiving buffet to a ballroom with the hotel. It was a very plain, cold atmosphere. I felt like I was eating in a soup kitchen. On top of that there was an $11 “service charge” for the buffet on top of the cost of buffet. We will not be returning next year.

This place is a hard zero. I got the American breakfast and my wife got The omelette breakfast. When we first got there there was nobody to seat us. The waitress tried pretty hard to convince us to get the buffet which is $18 a person. The coffee is low-quality which isn’t too bad as that’s easy to look past. We waited nearly 30 minutes to get our food despite the fact that nobody else was really there. my wife’s hash browns were burnt and as hard as a brick and could be picked up like a piece of toast. My hash browns however we’re very undercooked and mushy like mashed potatoes in the center. My wifes although it was just folded up scrambled eggs with a couple chunks of me with a handful of cold cheese on top.

Walked in 15 minutes ago (and counting) following the instructions posted on their sign located at the entrance “please seat yourself…”

We opted for the all you can eat pasta and salad bar. It was nice to create your own pasta with red or white sauce, either penne or bowtie pasta, choice of meats, veggies, and a lot of other stuff. The chef at the cooking station will heat up everything together and plate it for you. I enjoyed the red sauce with Graziano sausage but it felt like a pasta that I could make at home. I had 2 plates for lunch and I was in a food coma afterwards, probably not the best place to go during a work day 🙂

If you like nursing home cafeteria food this’ll be right up your alley… we got the buffet for a whopping $16 bucks!!??? Total rip off… food was flavorless and sub-par at best… would never eat here again… this place needs a new chef and menu overhaul… service I would give 4 stars… great friendly staff… but 0 stars for food… so 2 star overall rating…

Staff was wonderful and kind. Food was good but a little expensive for quantity. If you work downtown they have a locals discount and pasta buffet on Wednesdays.

Decent food. Was serving a limited menu that day because of a large group having lunch at the hotel – but no real options to avoid eating meat on a lenten Friday except plain salad.
