Those Dry rub wings are cooked perfectly. Definitely some of the best chicken wings I ever had!!! Tomasa was so courteous, thank you.
We stayed at the Marriott Downtown Orlando and had breakfast here for 5 days. We are coming all the way from Dubai and we had a great experience. The food was great and comes quite fast. Kudos to Tomasa, the lead host in the restaurant who always greeted us with a smile and was very hospitable. Michael, the restaurant manager was also very welcoming and made our breakfast and stay very pleasurable. Keep up the great service!
The food was amazing! I believe the chefs name was Zannya and our waiter was O’Brian who were both terrific, especially for a Sunday evening. Definitely will be my go to spot for downtown.
First time visiting on my way from the Taco and Margarita festival downtown. Very quaint atmosphere located inside the Marriott hotel, with very nice and relaxing music playing. Very friendly staff. Janine was my bar tender who made me a Red Sangria that was deliciously spot on and packed a punch! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional which is always refreshing. Gave my visit a 5-star rating because of the experience, although there is no happy hour and a change in menu items available, which varies from what it shows and says on their website. All in all, will return to try the food, and/or enjoy another cocktail!
My wife and I while staying at the Marriott Orlando had dinner at the “Shade Bar and Grill.” We didn’t have the best experience with food and service. Being a restaurant owner, I all to well understand that every restaurant can have a bad night. I wanted to talk with the kitchen manager, being a late meal ( almost closing time ) he had already left. I went back in the morning before we checked out and asked to speak with the food and beverage manager. I was promptly greet be Michael the Restaurant manager. I explained our issues with the night before and we talked for quite some time of the new issues we have faced over the post Covid years. Michael could not have been more professional. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with him. I am leaving 5 stars not because of our experience the night before but rather knowing what great and capable hands this restaurant is in going forward. Thank you Michael. Sincerely, Skip Perry Colorado
Fun place, perfect for an affordable atmosphere much better than walking somewhere nearby. Highly recommend.
We had Obrian as our server and she was just fantastic! She was very attentive and personable!!! Food was good and reasonably priced for a hotel bar/restaurant!
Just stayed at the Marriott for the Roger Waters concert and we slid down to the Shade Bar and Grill for a quick bite. We waited at the hostess stand for a couple of minutes. It looked like there were 2 bartenders, 1 waitress, and 2 bussers or food runners. I believe one of the hotel supervisors noticed us waiting and asked if we'd like a table. After confirming that we did, she let us know she'd grab some menus and be right back. She returned to escort us to our table and asked if we were there for the concert. I told her that we were and that we had been waiting since 2020....COVID. She told me they had just been told same day of the event. The hotel is walking distance from the venue, so they were filling up. Daniella was our server. She was absolutely lovely. The food was delicious. The bartenders were keeping their guests happy (and glasses in one piece). The food runner brought us hot, delicious looking burgers and sweet potato fries. (Yes, the taste was on point ) Despite the last minute influx of people everyone did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly. Well done.
