    Was there for a convention decided to have a early dinner there, We waited 40 min for a table finally got seated way in the back with all empty tables. Our waitress took forever to acknowledge us finally we placed our drink orders took another 10 min for that, finally place our order and we waited over 30min we finally asked what was going on we finished our drinks before the waitress came back. Finally our food came out, then we didn't see her again till we had to wave the waitress down to get the check the restaurant was not packed no idea why it was such poor customer service

    The only reason for the three stars is the welcoming hospitality from the hostess and waitress. The food here is pretty standard and doesn't justify the high cost of the meals. I understand Daily Grill is convenient for anyone staying at the Marriott, but trust me when I say you're better off just walking across the street to Dennys. Dennys has more items to choose from, much cheaper, and food quality is the same. I ordered wings and their chicken sandwich and both were underwhelming. I properly won't return unless i want to grab a beer at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar area looked comfortable and had a nice selection of liquor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is also spacious and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of free parking

    We stayed at the Marriott for a weekend convention and found this restaurant very convenient. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we ate here twice during their happy hour (3-7 pm daily). Kids are allowed to sit at the high top tables near the bar in order to order from the happy hour menu. The service was great. Our food and drinks came out very quickly and our table was checked on frequently. The food portions are pretty large, especially the kid's meals. I really enjoyed the variety of menu items offered and the drinks were good quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant and bar is not loud and busy, so it's a good option for family dining or a place to meet up for a drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Having a happy hour from 3-7 pm daily makes this a great option if you don't want to venture off property.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came here for a late breakfast, it was a nice quiet escape from our loud busy day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Juan was our server and he was so attentive and kind. Our sunrise breakfast was delicious! We swapped pancakes for fruit because of having celiac. All food was fresh, and crisp!

    Well located in the hotel. Was staying in the hotel attached and was able to charge the room. The potatoes and eggs were yummy and all the food was good for chain restaurant.

    I remember when Daily Grills used to be everywhere! I had heard good things about this one from Burbank neighbors, and we decided to try it out on Friday night. The best parking option is to turn in to the small lot off Hollywood Way, if you're driving north, just as you pass the restaurant. That lot is free and is specifically for the restaurant. The restaurant has a separate entrance that leads directly into the Mariott hotel. When we arrived, there were a few people at the host stand and the host seemed a little dismissive in acknowledging us, telling us it would be a 20-30 minute wait. We looked at the nearly-empty bar area and asked if we could sit there. He said "yes," but didn't tell us whether we could order food from the dinner menu there, if we had to order from the bar or if someone would come to us, or if we could still wait for a table while we sat there. We had to go back and ask these questions, and ended up just staying at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar area had a few small screens with no-volume sports, and was otherwise pretty quiet. It could use some music and maybe some love in the decor department... it was very minimalist and felt like we were in the hotel lobby rather than a nice restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server/bartender was excellent! I wish I caught his name. I ordered an extra-dirty martini and then an old fashioned, which he made perfectly. He was attentive, friendly, and communicated often with us. We split the popcorn shrimp, and then I ordered the amandine trout, while Paul G. ordered the turkey club. We both really enjoyed the shrimp. For my course, I could pick 2 sides, so I went with the polenta ravioli and green beans amandine to keep with the amandine theme, nah mean? Sorry, once I got going, I couldn't stop myself. The ravioli might have been my favorite part of the meal! I'd never thought of polenta in ravioli, and it was slightly sweet and super flavorful with a butter sauce. The fish was generous in portion and cooked until tenderly falling apart. Mr. G. orders a lot of turkey club sandwiches, and I usually bite each one. I think this was my favorite turkey club he's ever ordered. The turkey was moist and piled generously, the bacon was crispy, and the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and juicy. I'm not a big sandwich person, but I'd totally order this... it would be delicious to pick up after getting off a flight! We really enjoyed the food and our server. I'd like to try out the actual dining area next time. Good to know if we are ever early for a flight from home (but let's be real, are we?)

    The menu said Pecans but it arrived with walnuts... large slice of delicious, dense, moist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Went on a Friday night around 7:30 and it was pretty busy. The bar area was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was seated quickly and ordered a glass of Reisling which was quite good. Next I ordered the grilled avocado caprese which had a beautiful presentation. Not really sure if I could taste the grilled part but this appetizer was Delicious. Thick slices each of tomato and mozzarella topped with avocado and balsamic on a bed of arugula. Next came the BBQ Burger with bacon and crispy onions and sweet potato fries. They kept it simple and it worked. The burger was cooked perfectly medium and the toppings were well balanced. Lastly was an amazing Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake was dense as a carrot cake should be and beyond yummy I love Daily Grill. The service is Always great and this time was no exception. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Booths are roomy and offer some privacy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is great up grade to your options especially if you usually do chain restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quality, atmosphere and service are all above par here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Daily Grill is all chill, no frills casual laid-back chic. They have a huge dining space, private room for events and large bar area. It's definitely got a touch of sports bar energy but in a very regal way, minimalist decor with inviting lighting, warm earthy tones and some signage for specials like their happy hour Located across from the Burbank Airport (my favorite airport), the DG has it's own main entrance and restaurant set-up directly off Hollywood Way, but also is connected to the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel - you can actually see the hall directly to the hotel just left of the main entrance for Daily. Entire place is clean, well spaced out and the service is genuine. I attended a uniform club formal event here with my boyfriend's group. We had a small banquet room (across from the bar area) with a U-shaped table configuration making it easy to share our orders and staff to serve. Our server was an amazing guy (whose name escapes me... Dominic... Will... I'm way off - young twenty something brunette-ish). He served us everything and being a group of at least 20 I was impressed - he got help once from another server passing by, but honestly didn't need it. Being in a group and them having planned ahead the prefix menu was a streamline of courses offered by the Grill of some of their best dishes. The spinach and artichoke dip was a hit w/ sourdough crostini. I had at the veggie accompanying them (carrots). Mixed green salad stellar, big - a perfect set up for entrees - balsamic all day for dressing. The selections for the Chicken Piccata (mashed potatoes + grilled asparagus), Pan-Seared Salmon (brown rice + grilled asparagus) or Grilled Skirt Steak (mashed Potatoes + grilled veggies) were had by some of each. The Steaks and Salmon seemed to be the best of the options for those enjoying. My guy is a huge seafood person so his really enjoyed his meal. For the veggie option I was offered a huge Angel Hair Pasta Pomodoro which was incredible, but quite the messy dish. Thankful I was in "leather" (vegan leather) formal wear to my shirt was the easiest thing to clean off, but wow so much rich sauce w/ chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil and they added some veggies in the mix. I enjoyed it immensely as I knew this was one of the vegan options at daily grill aside from their Pesto Pasta, many of their sides and some salads. Great drink selection from wine to beer to a great bar, soft drinks, classic sips and more... like zero proof cocktails/mocktails and brews (Heineken and Samuel Adams). Definitely a fan and hope to dine in soon for a group function, happy hour or social night, maybe even a date night ;) Serving up travellers and locals from 6:30am until 10pm all seven days of the week. Q Tips: ADA compliant entrance as well as accessibility. Restrooms are clean and easy to access. Parking can get a little full on certain days/nights - but there is more for the hotel also - it's a little more restricted than before as you could easily drive in and out of most area for the hotel or the convention center. Daily Grill does have valet via the Marriott.

    This dining experience started out to be a nice experience with drinks for my wife and me! The skirt steak salad that I ordered was not to my liking! The meat was as cold as the salad ugh . I sent it back while my wife tried to enjoy her chicken tacos , I say try because her food was also lukewarm! But she didnt want to complain again . Adriana did her best to accommodate us by working with the manager on staff. We did get some of our items discounted and I finally got my steak salad about 45 minutes later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as the ambiance who cares?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The 8ounce steak was ordered medium rare and was extremely tender and flavorful the tagliatelle bolognese was creamy and came with great fresh herbs on top.

Sit on the patio to enjoy the full effect of the fairy lights, fireplace and cozy spaces meant for an intimate date. I had their Old Fashioned which was banana flavored for summer. The banana was a more subtle finish, not sweet, but I still prefer their peach version and wish it was also on the menu. The deviled eggs are just the right bite for drinks. We also had the flatbread and hummus, made with green garbanzo beans and served with watermelon radish and pita bread. TIP: if you like biscuits, order theirs! Put your order in right away because they're baked fresh for you and they take a while. With the honey butter, it's perfect! Service is consistently good! From the hostess stand to the bar, it doesn't matter where you are, staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Servers read your vibe well and respond accordingly, providing excellent service for a date night or family/friends gathering.

The nachos were made perfectly with the chips being thin and crispy. They used a couple different cheeses and the jalapeños were a nice touch. Definitely ordering it again, I can do without the chili cheese fries. It was good but it wasn't amazing. Their bread pudding was HUGE and I can see why it's one of the popular items here. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft and gooey in the inside. Morrisons is definitely a fun place to be. Perfect to enjoy happy hour, catch the games on, and hang out friends.

Getting into the parking lot is a little tricky, but once you step inside, you feel like you've discovered a hidden gem. The Ramp has the cozy, upscale dive-bar vibe that's hard to pull off: warm lighting, exposed brick, knotty pine walls, and an atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home.

I was there with two friends, and every single dish we ordered was outstanding--not to mention one of the best martinis I've had in a long time. As luck would have it, we arrived on Taco Tuesday, when tacos are just $2 each. We sampled several, and every one was excellent, especially the fish taco. I'm also a longtime fan of sanddabs, a dish that's become surprisingly hard to find. My gold standard has always been the version at Musso & Frank Grill, and I'm happy to say The Ramp's was every bit as satisfying.

So, one of my spawns, on Monday said let's grabbed lunch. Whatever you want, sushi, ramen, Korean bbq. I said let's go HH at the Ramp. My child couldn't believe it, but Matriarch ruled. We went with no expectations. We had several $4 margaritas, wings, mozzarella sticks, cheese bread, nachos, and split a cheeseburger with fries. Everything was pretty decent if not delicious. The wings were well done (our preference), the mozzarella sticks had a nice cheese pull, the nachos, were baked but each chip was crispy and fresh, the burger was good (soft artisanal bun), the fries were decent steak fries ( I'm not a fan of steak fries). The margaritas were on the rocks and made with margarita mix. they seemed like they would sneak up on you. Still tasty. Staff were attentive and great! The best part we spent under $100.00 w/tip! I'm looking forward to our next visit and try their pastas and other items. Great place for HH.

If you don't get as lucky, driving around the block or into the surrounding neighborhood should eventually turn something up. We arrived about 20 minutes after they opened, and there were already several people inside. By the time we left, the place was filling up quickly, so it's definitely a popular spot. I surprised my girlfriend by keeping the destination a secret and just telling her we were going somewhere fun with a unique theme. She loved it. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Both the bartender and our server were incredibly welcoming. Our server asked whether it was our first visit and took the time to ask what kinds of drinks we normally enjoy before making recommendations. I really appreciated that he wasn't just trying to upsell us. Instead, he explained why he thought certain cocktails were better choices based on our preferences, and every recommendation ended up being spot on. As you'd expect from a tiki bar, the cocktail menu is heavily rum-focused, but there are also non-alcoholic drinks, a small beer selection, and wine available if rum isn't your thing. I ordered the Zombie Magic first, which was delicious and definitely packed a punch. After that, I tried the 100 Year Cigar, a Scotch-based cocktail that was perfect for slowly sipping. Both drinks were fantastic. My girlfriend ordered the Painkiller and the Navy Grog, and she loved both of them. We started with the Shut It Polly wings, crispy chicken wings tossed in a spicy Thai peanut sauce, and they were outstanding. We also ordered the Aloha Dippers with the Cajun seasoning. I paired mine with the Chipotle Citrus Aioli, while my girlfriend chose the Firecracker sauce. Both dipping sauces were excellent and complemented the fries really well. For our entrées, I ordered the Pub Burger with Irish cheddar, onion strings, and horseradish aioli, cooked to order. It was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the Shrimp & Lobster Roll, and we both enjoyed it. The only item that didn't quite meet our expectations was the macaroni salad that came with our meals. We've had some incredible macaroni salad at Hawaiian restaurants, and this one just didn't quite compare. It certainly wasn't bad, but it was the one part of the meal that didn't stand out. One thing that really impressed me was how accommodating the staff was regarding my raw fruit allergy. I explained what I could and couldn't safely eat or drink, and our server took it seriously. He made sure every cocktail recommendation was safe for me without sacrificing flavor or experience. That level of attention made me feel comfortable ordering drinks I otherwise might have avoided. The décor is also worth mentioning. The pirate-themed exterior transitions into a fun pirate-and-tiki atmosphere inside that really adds to the experience without feeling overdone. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. The drinks were strong and creative, the food was excellent, the service was some of the best we've had in a long time, and the atmosphere was a blast. There are still plenty of cocktails on the menu that I'd like to try, so we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Burbank.
