Stella on draft
Good lunch options — clean upscale atmosphere and attentive service although not fast.
The blue cheese wedge salad with chicken added was delicious. Several large delicious thick-​cut pieces of bacon were served on top. Note the wedge is not a true iceberg wedge but it’s still good.

Aoh Mah Ghod! After reading about the horrors of a previous reviewer’s dry banana nut muffin, the unreal eggs, and that horrific sausage incident, I was just about ready to throw a match down onto those marble floors and watch the whole edifice go up in flames!
Then I found myself there between classes during the 2015 American Dental Association national meeting seeking sustenance before I passed out.
And it wasn’t quite the horror show someone else claimed it to be.
My husband and I got there for lunch. My husband ordered the lamb sandwich on pita bread. I ordered the Caesar salad with grilled chicken.
His lamb sandwich was wonderful. I grabbed a bite to confirm his claims, and it’s true. I’d have ordered the lamb if I knew then what I know now.
My salad was OK. I have no real complaints. The dressing was really good. The croutons were a bit sweet for my taste but … *shrug*
The grilled chicken was good.
The service was fine.
The atmosphere was kind of cool. The tables are a red composite material with glittery somethings mixed in. The red upholstered chairs are comfortable. The lighting is cool (see the website).
I wouldn’t make any special effort to go there, but if I ever found myself there again I wouldn’t complain.

I have usually found the food at Marriotts to be of high quality, but not this one! I made one pass through the $ 22 buffet and didn’t even finish much of my plate because it wasn’t good enough to eat. The sausage was dry (and I’d tried to choose one that looked more moist), the scrambled eggs didn’t seem real. There were two types of muffins, and both looked like the sort of shiny overly sweet varieties you can buy in a vending machine. I selected the banana nut muffin, and sure enough, it was shiny on the outside but too dry inside to be enjoyable. Overall, the buffet variety was minimal and very predictable. The two positives: a small fruity pastry and fresh orange juice.
I also had a boxed lunch in this hotel, and again, the sandwich was bland, made with dry ciabatta.
