They asked if we were celebrating, but nothing else came of it. By no means an expectation, but something would've been nice. However, this is a beautiful space. We were sat in an area with a fire pit, super cute, but it was 90° out so we asked to move. Manny was wonderful and moved us to another area even though they were getting busy. Our waiter Micah took some beautiful photos of us by the way. Thank you to him! Now for the good stuff. Food and drink were delicious. We got a variety of plates and drinks and enjoyed each of them. You can tell the kitchen knows what they're doing. There was an awesome DJ there the night we went too! All in all, would go back.

Over my years of traveling all over the world for work, I've accrued a fair number of Bonvoy points…read moreand developed a deep fondness for Marriott's Signature Burger. Specifically, the 'Build your Own' option set up with swiss cheese and mushrooms and an egg. It's a cracking (excuse the unshelled pun) good lunch by any standard, and now I'm traveling less I still drop by Floe occasionally to partake and reminisce over lunch. I still recommend the above burger highly, but temporarily I've changed my menu choice. Their friendly bartender and server recently upsold me to their current special burger instead... and it's even better. The Beso Burger, created by a chef whose name I don't recall but who apparently is TV-famous, is the reason this review is getting written when normally I wouldn't take the time for this kind of location. Put simply, it's a must-try. It comes as a whole plate, with fries and a milkshake designed specifically for dipping them in. The whole thing is beautifully put together, and everything complements everything else. It's an experience. Word to the wise: After trying both the single and the double burger, my pick is the single. Better balance across the meal, and the second slab of meat makes the burger gigantic and tougher to eat without a knife and fork - which in itself would be wrong and ruin the experience. The bottom of my bun held fine on the single but disintegrated before I could finish devouring the double, and my afternoon food lethargy was definitely amplified by the latter too. Productivity... not so good. The location is exactly what you'd expect from a hotel bar, with nice lighting, plenty of seating and 3hr parking validation when you stop by for food so there's no rush to eat except your own work schedule. I did notice it was a bit hot inside on a recent visit... maybe their AC was broken. Don't sleep on this burger, I think they said it's only available through September...

Usually not a destination spot.... But the food was excellent and reasonably priced! I told the server about my gluten issue and she made sure the chef was aware. The boys ordered the halibut over a saffron risotto and my friend ordered fish and chips and I ordered the wagyu Burger. There's a door in the lobby that leads you to a quiet speakeasy. Lots of specialty cocktails and during the month of October it was decorated for eldia de los muertos

I loved my experience at this restaurant, definitely recommend it, and will for sure be back again!…read moreTo start, the atmosphere is really nice with dim lighting and a bar in the middle for drinks! There is plenty of seating and a room that has more seating inside. For food we ordered bone marrow bibimbap, potato korokke, caviar cones, uni unagi chawanmushi, and for dessert, a banana miso cake! The bone marrow bibimbap was well flavored! After allowing us to take pictures, the server helped us scrap the bone marrow and mix the dish together. I enjoyed it a lot, however the rice was a bit hard for my liking. My favorite was the uni unagi chawanmushi which is a steamed egg with uni unagi on top! I loved that one and wished I had ordered more of it. The caviar cones were really tasty as well and there is a little bit of spice in it! Would definitely recommend try it! The potato korokke was also delicious! The sauce went great with it and it was fried perfectly (crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside). I also loved the flavor of the banana miso cake. The ice cream went great with the warm banana cake and the presentation was wonderful. Will definitely be ordering this dessert again!

Everything is very upscale. It is on the smaller side but surprisingly the restaurant was mostly empty. I have had this restaurant bookmarked since it opened but never had the chance to go. Happy I got to give it a shot, and I will definitely be coming back! Service was great. Very attentive server, busser, and bartender. Drinks 5/5: They have a full bar and they drinks are very well crafted. I ordered the Blue-Eyed Girl and the bartender mentioned the blueberry syrup being made from scratch. FOOD: Keep in mind that all of the dishes come with portions of 3 pcs - SPICY TUNA ON PUFFED RICE 5/5: So flavorful, not too much eel sauce as some places, and I loved that it was served on a rice cracker. Light and airy. - TRUFFLE POMME FRITES 5/5: Served piping hot and so fresh with just the right amount of truffle. - WAGYU SLIDERS 4.5/5: Tender and so flavorful. The buns were very slightly on the dry side but not very noticeable. - CAVIAR CONES 5/5: 3 cones for $18 is a steal! The creme fraise paired so well with the caviar. - HAMACHI CRUDO 5/5 - RAW OYSTERS 4.5/5: These were dressed very well. - BONE MARROW BIBIMBAP 5/5: Came out hot, crispy, and so good! The server was so sweet and brought us an additional bone marrow because our original piece barely had any. We were celebrating two birthdays and they offered two choice desserts on the house: - BANANA MISO CAKE 5/5 - CIR SORBET 5/5: The sorbet was so refreshing Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed everything here and on top of that, the menu was very decently priced. I am definitely coming back.

My most recent visit was for my birthday dinner with a friend, and we absolutely enjoyed our time at this restaurant. Appetizers: we got the chicken empanadas and shrimp empanadas & both were good. The chicken empanadas are always my favorite--they are so good and the habanero ketchup is really tasty. I get it every single time I go there. For the entrées, we tried the rum pepper shrimp, and my friend had the plantain crusted chicken. Both really good and we enjoyed our meals. For the drinks, we got the piña coladas, and another rum drink & both were really good! Our server was kind enough to put my small cake that I brought to dinner in the fridge & bring it out for us when it was time for dessert. I would absolutely go back again for dinner or even just for drinks. The ambience is gorgeous & feels very romantic. This place is perfect for (solo) dates and large parties alike. I really love sitting in their booths. They also offer mini complimentary glasses of champagne when you check in. Overall, 10/10 every time!

Really neat interior design and the exterior patio for seating is amazing when they turn on their lights. We sat in one of the booths, which was comfortable. Overall, I would say that service was only OK. there wasn't an extreme amount of attentiveness during our dining experience. but I think the food made up in that lacked area. We ordered one of the appetizers, which was fried calamari shrimp, and supposed to have fried peppers, but there were no fried peppers in it, so that was a little bit of a bummer. For the main course, I got the roasted chicken, which was absolutely delicious. Well cooked chicken, moist and juicy, and very crisp, crunchy skin, overall really good flavor. The buttered rice was pretty good, and the beans were pretty good too. The plantains maybe could've used a touch of salt, but besides that everything was really good. We were too full for dessert, so we didn't get anything on this trip I'm glad we came because it was really good. Far exceeded my expectation on the overall flavor. I will definitely be back to try other dishes and definitely recommend to other diners wanting to eat in some place delicious.
