This lovely restaurant is conveniently situated in lobby of the downtown Marriott in Winston Salem. We were seated immediately on a Sunday evening by a friendly and welcoming hostess. Our waiter, Vinton, was progressional and personable. Vinton recommended the Filet for me and was happy to have the chef make an off menu meal (a grilled cheese sandwich) for my son. It which was served with a side of salted vinegar frites. The steak I was served was seasoned to perfection and charred on the outside and a perfect medium rare on the inside, just as I ordered it. My son really enjoyed the surprise birthday dessert, which was some sort of chocolate salted caramel dish with ice cream. Delightful and would return.

I reserved a table for my boyfriend’s birthday and asked the staff (wonderful Ms. Linda!) if they could present a certain “cake” at the end of the meal and WOW, did they deliver! Tony was an excellent, vibrant, genuine server and I cannot thank him enough for such a special evening. The manager JD stopped by our table and was also a treat to chat with! The food was wonderful, the drinks were cold & quick to arrive to our table and Tony nailed every last bit of this evening. He was truly the most beloved part of this evening, the celebrations wouldn’t have been the same without his warmth and kindness. Thank yall SO much- from the bottom of my heart! We WILL be back!

My family celebrated a birthday dinner here. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays and the food was amazing. The best part for all of us, was our server, Tony. I’ve never had an experience with another server like we did with Tony. He took the best care of us. He was very personable. Just went above and beyond the entire time we were there. We talked, laughed, cried, and prayed together. It was a special experience that I hope others can enjoy as well! Thank you, Tony. We love you!

I want to start this off by saying that the star rating has nothing to do with our server. Cheyenne was absolutely amazing and apologized profusely for everything. The first thing we noticed when entering the restaurant that the temperature was the same inside as it was outside and we were all sweating. That being said, our reservation was at 1845 and we are just now leaving the restaurant at 2035, with two people in our party not even eating. Both my husband and my mom's steaks were completely overcooked (obviously overcooked, like well done beef jerky dry) , they ordered them medium and they received them well done after waiting 30 minutes for their food to come out. The steaks here also came precut to the table, so the kitchen staff saw that the steaks were well overcooked and still sent the meals to the table. Mind you the restaurant was empty so I cannot even blame it on them being slammed. After waiting another twenty minutes for their steaks to be remade, they made the decision that they (my husband and my mom) were just ready to go home. The best part is the steaks when brought again the second time were still overcooked and completely dryed out from being overcooked. The final straw of the evening, they brought the checks and only took off $20 instead of comping the two meals that were not even eaten. We eventually got our checks fixed to have it reflect what was eaten, I feel horrible for our waitress because she was extremely embarrassed. However, I will never be returning to this restaurant again, I try to never leave bad reviews, but for the prices and the issues I could not help doing so. I'm astonished that this is attached to a Marriott.

Food was good, little small portions for the price. Place was very loud and hard to have a conversation at the table.

Stayed at the Marriott for Wrestlecade 2023 and had dinner here the first night. It was very busy with so many people in town but we only had a short wait to be seated and service was reasonable considering the crowd. We tried The Butchers Board and Lobster Artichoke dip for appetizers. The butcher board was absolutely delicious, only wish it had a little more food with it. The lobster dip was also delicious both dishes had a fancy feel. Main course was The Butchers Burger and it was incredible! So juicy and cooked to perfection. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture of it, whoops. I loved everything about the meal and hope to go back next time I'm in town.
Global Reviews
I had a $40 voucher for staying at the Marriott to eat here for breakfast. I ordered the All American classic and it was supposed to come with coffee and juice but for some reason the server didn't give any of that to me. I ordered a latte on the side so I wasn't sure if it was charged extra since I had a voucher. Do yourself a favor and skip the all American classic dish. It was not good and tasted like fast food. My colleague got the Belgian waffle and it looked pretty good.

The food was good. The atmosphere okay. However, Jess, our server, was spectacular--attentive, good natures and good humored. I would consider returning because of her. The entire staff at the W-S Marriott were better than most of the Marriotts I have visited.
