The food was terrible, everything was greasy. This is the third time we have eaten here (out to convenience) to see a show and this will be the last. The restaurant was not busy so I would expect some attention to detail and basically everything we ordered was not good. The server asked how everything was and I gave her my honest response that it was not good. The response I received was "I am so sorry, can I get your check" To which I paid my entire bill and threw all of the food away. If you are going to run a restaurant with the look of a higher caliber then perhaps you invest in a chef?

Everything was delicious, though maybe a little underdone on the potatoes or runny on the polenta.

Terrible food - terrible service- supposed to be a higher end restaurant, was horrible. I was shocked because Marriott Renaissance Hotels are usually a bit upscale. The menus are print paper that are laminated - like a diner. Very disappointing

Food was fantastic. Ambiance is great. Service was a bit slow. Took was too long for a simple glass of wine. Bartender messed up simple glass of Basil Hayden on the rocks. Never asked which one I wanted. Then brought neat. I asked for ice and was brought ice water.

There wasn’t many people on a Friday evening at 6PM and the service was so slow. It was not the servers fault but the bar took a very long time for two drinks (like 20 mins) and then the food was also very slow.
