"This is not a steakhouse and instead, located inside the hotel. The photos that were added years ago are not a good indicator of the food available. Someone posted the menu 4 months ago and that's what it is, plain and limited. Came here first night of our stay because thought it'd be good, since it's in a Marriott. Ordered the chicken with two sides. I should have ordered the burger. The chicken was about 4 ounces, but most was bone. Everything else on the plate were the side vegetables which were terrible. Mac and cheese tasted horrible, as if the macaroni was out of a box. Had no flavor to it. The asparagus with bacon was horrible tasting. The bacon was very salty. Should have been an even balance to include more chicken. When we were seated, the table had been wiped with an alcohol product but the table was soaking wet from it with the paper menu sticking to it, which I had to peel off and the utensils wrapped in the cloth napkin. I asked the waiter if he could wipe the table and he said the product will air dry. I said it's wet but he shook his head and didn't wipe it. The table didn't dry until we were served the appetizers. I had the clam chowder which wasn't great but wasn't lousy either. Seating is limited. There was an entire section that was closed off and lights out. Would have been nice to sit there because of how loud the area was where we were placed, which was right at the entrance and a wide open entrance at that. The meal was expensive and I didn't eat much of anything other than peeling off the chicken from the bone. When the waiter came to take my plate, I told him it was a terrible meal and that I should have ordered a burger. He made no attempt to knock it off the ticket or offer anything else and instead shrugged his shoulders. This is hotel food. If you want hotel food, this is the place to be. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area to pick. I don't recommend settling for this restaurant because of convenience. As I said, it is not a steakhouse."
