    Nothing about this restaurant would bring me or my guest back again. Parking & accessibility to restaurant was a turn-off with many steep stairs in & out to get to restaurant. Very POOR food presentation except for kabobs. (2) appetizer selections left uneaten, (1) (plantains) sent back for dry & tasteless. Sea Bass & trout main course fair - too many bones in trout after server deboned. Sea bass very peppered; potato side was AWFUL with taste of ‘leftover’ lukewarm potatoes topped with unappetizing MOUND of parm cheese thrown on top…AWFUL. Most everything highly ‘peppered.’ Service was the best part. Noise level awful. $158 for (2) guests (food only, no drinks) not including tip. Value of meal quality POOR.

    Highly recommend this as a private party of 2 or a group brunch location. The outdoor seating has private cabana-nooks and there are spacious comfie couch seating areas for larger groups. The food is absolutley fantastic. There is a falconer who carries around a Harris hawk to discourage grackles and sparrows from the harassing guests food. We got mimosas for the group and it was so much fun having our own sharable bottle of sparkling wine. There is a variety of mix ins for mimosas in the restaurant buffet area which just made it all the more fun. Thank you Marriot for the fun time!

    We (couple) were seated outdoors at our request in the early evening and the ambiance was top rate and very intimate. Food quality was excellent and service by our server Tim was over the top great - one of the best servers we have ever had the pleasure of dining with. Tim’s knowledge of the menu and wine list were great and really elevated our experience. Definitely would return and would request Tim if he was available. This guy belongs in a top restaurant in NYC, Chicago, or LA so I hope Marriott takes care not to lose him.
