This restaurant is a solid three star experience. Turkey club. I always ask, Is the turkey carved fresh roast turkey or is it luncheon meat? I absolutely abhor luncheon meat turkey. The waiter said it is definitely fresh carved turkey. I was excited. It was not. The turkey was that really wet off-white luncheon meat. The fries. I always request my fries extra crispy, and these were fantastic. They were fresh cooked, and salted to perfection. The fried calamari. I was surprised that the fried calamari actually seemed pretty fresh. It was not frozen Costco calamari that was reheated. The service was very friendly, although misinformed. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fries in the calamari. If I 'd stop there this would have been a solid four-star review.

Usual Marriott lobby restaurant setting. My server was very nice and attentive. Unfortunately, my Parmesan chicken dish was extremely salty, and the chicken breast, although a nice portion, was quite tough. There was a lemon caper sauce the entire dish was resting on, which was way too lemony. So between the caper's salt and the lemon overload, it was not a pleasant dish. There was supposed to be arugula on the side, but those wilted green things were them! The rolls that were brought were little dense doughballs with no flavor. If I stay here at the Marriott again, I'll be ordering Doordash in. (One additional star for the server)

The Marriott has pictures of the ribeye dinner in the elevators and it's suppose to be the best thing on the menu. Well, it's not. I ordered a medium well ribeye and it arrived cool to the touch and half of it was rare and the other half raw. It must have been frozen when they put it on the grill.

We attended a Cheer competition for our daughter at the Mechanics Bank Arena and were hungry in between our club's performances. We were going to walk somewhere downtown but the weather was not in our favor so we ended up here. When you first enter the greeting area looks somewhat upscale leading you to believe that this was going to be a really good spot. There were only a few booths and mainly tables and chairs. The server seemed frustrated that we had not decided what we wanted to eat when she returned with our drinks. Being our first time we were taking our time going through the menu which was fairly small but none the less we were trying to make the best choice. They had a buffet option which we looked at and looked like less than what you would get from a Hilton hotel for free. I ended up choosing the Benedict. It took quite some time to get our food and did not get refills on our drinks while waiting. When the food finally arrived I was disappointed in the quality and flavor, to top it off they stated the coupon in Yelp was only for employees?!?!? I'm pretty sure Yelp is not randomly making coupons with out consulting with the businesses first. Don't think we will be coming back here anytime soon.
