   Excellent food, nice setting by the lake, very quiet, but overpriced. I had the crab cake, delicious sauce and accompanied by green beans. I loved it, but I don’t think it is worth $47. The old fashion is ok, not great. The dessert, skillet, good to share, but it is too rich for one person.

   We left early… Two big issues. They closed the dining room so we were eating in the hotel lobby. It’s a super nice hotel lobby, but I want to eat in the dining room, not the lobby. (This was especially true because it was our anniversary.) They also canceled the shuttle for the light show at Merriwhether. Before booking, we confirmed that they were doing the shuttles, and that was basically the main reason for picking the restaurant. Their change in policy was hugely disappointing, especially when we went out of our way to confirm.

   Had hoped to have a nice brunch with my family. Service was horrible - incompetent, indifferent, and cavalier. We will not be returning.

   Too much salt on salmon, asked for medium rare and got extremely well done, pasta was suggy and most of all portions were very small considering the cost

   The breakfast food is average. For an upscale Marriott and the prices it should be better. The pancakes tasted like the grill. Vegys for omelets mushy and don’t taste fresh. Potatoes awful. Need improvement. Waffles good.

   It’s a lovely setting, but unfortunately service took way too long, and I didn’t get to enjoy the lake afterwards. Our server barely checked on us. The crab cake ($47) was small and undercooked. I sent it back and they cooked it further, but I was surprised by the high price tag, how quality of the entree lacked, and so did service
