   We left early… Two big issues. They closed the dining room so we were eating in the hotel lobby. It’s a super nice hotel lobby, but I want to eat in the dining room, not the lobby. (This was especially true because it was our anniversary.) They also canceled the shuttle for the light show at Merriwhether. Before booking, we confirmed that they were doing the shuttles, and that was basically the main reason for picking the restaurant. Their change in policy was hugely disappointing, especially when we went out of our way to confirm.

   Had hoped to have a nice brunch with my family. Service was horrible - incompetent, indifferent, and cavalier. We will not be returning.

   Too much salt on salmon, asked for medium rare and got extremely well done, pasta was suggy and most of all portions were very small considering the cost

   The breakfast food is average. For an upscale Marriott and the prices it should be better. The pancakes tasted like the grill. Vegys for omelets mushy and don’t taste fresh. Potatoes awful. Need improvement. Waffles good.

   It’s a lovely setting, but unfortunately service took way too long, and I didn’t get to enjoy the lake afterwards. Our server barely checked on us. The crab cake ($47) was small and undercooked. I sent it back and they cooked it further, but I was surprised by the high price tag, how quality of the entree lacked, and so did service

   Five of us sat outside as requested on a warm evening. We wanted appetizers and drinks. Wine was expensive but good. We were seated on the deck between the bar and nearly empty restaurant. We were refused access to the bar menu which was our goal so we ordered appetizers from the restaurant menu. One of our group enjoyed her food. The rest of us thought it was quite mediocre. Our waiter was very accommodating. Service was slow, but don’t think it was her fault.
