For dessert I followed it up with caramel apple pie with vanities cream dripped in Carmel… Everything was so damn good I’m telling u I will be back

Good service but the food could use some improvements. Deviled eggs were good but the fried green tomatoes needs some improvement. Now the steaks. How can you not tell the difference between ribeye and NY Steak. We ordered a NY steak but got a ribeye. Kitchen was telling us that it is a NY steak......As a very frequent traveler, I dined at so many different steakhouses and every one of them knows what a NY steak is.

Lauren is the only reason I come here. She is always personable, extremely professional and through. Love her.

Ate here because it was in the hotel. Had bang bang shrimp appetizer and Cajun Alfredo pasta with chicken added. Bang bang shrimp were good, pasta was ok - was expecting more heat but it tasted like just a typical Alfredo sauce. Service was very slow but the restaurant was packed and the bartender said they were down a cook. Drinks at the bar made by Lauren (I think) were very good. In fact, this was on our return home trip and previously on our outbound trip we had eaten out but had drinks at the bar before going to bed. The drinks enticed us to eat and watch the football game, rather than head out. Price with drinks and tip for two was just under $100. Shared the food and spent more on the drinks, which was a good call

Went there specifically for the burger! It was delicious and the steak fries were like baked potatoes with a crisp on the outside! It’s a shame the restaurant is being utilized more! It’s a great resource that seems to not be promoted or appreciated!

This is not a steakhouse. It's a hotel bar with tables. Don't eat here. 2.5 hours to eat at any restaurant is a long time. 2.5 hours to eat at a dead restaurant is ridiculous. We went because it's advertised as a steakhouse. The only steak available was a 14oz ribeye. I'm fine with that, however it wasn't cooked to temperature (medium) and was drier than the boots I was wearing. Appetizer took an hour to get out of the kitchen, main course took another 1.5 hours. If the food was amazing, or if the restaurant was busy, or if there was some sort of reason for any of this, I wouldn't care. I fully understand I could've left but it was a sunk cost fallacy by the time we were fed up with everything. We had been there long enough that if we'd left, getting food elsewhere would've taken just as long. I'm fully confident that I ate the only steak they've ever prepared at this establishment. I used to run kitchens, so I like to think I'm pretty understanding when it comes to kitchen hijinks. The only saving grace was a nice night out with my girlfriend. I'd rather order a steak from waffle house than bother walking into this place again. It's not a steakhouse. I wouldn't eat here if I was sleeping at the Sheraton hotel, which is what this restaurant is attached to.

I hope you like water with your steak. They lost their liquor license. You can't get an alcoholic beverage here. It should not even be considered a steakhouse, it is literally a portion of the lobby. I'm a Marriott platinum for life member. I have stayed in so many hotels and this was by far the worst Marriott hotel. It's an embarrassment.

The desert is great, I had the fried cheesecake paired with kahlua coffee; great pairing.
