Treating my dad to dinner and a show at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire turned out to be an…read moreexceptional experience, especially since it was a gift for Father's Day. Wanting to ensure I could eat safely, I called ahead and spoke directly with the restaurant manager, who confidently assured me they could accommodate a celiac/ gluten-free diet and recommended arriving two hours before curtain time. The evening began smoothly in the dining room with their specialized prix fixe theater menu, and the server was wonderfully attentive from the moment we sat down. After I informed him of my celiac diagnosis, he clearly outlined my safe options and checked with the kitchen to confirm that the chopped salad starter and the vegan chicken enchiladas main course were completely gluten-free. While the salad was swimming in a bit too much dressing, both dishes tasted fantastic. Because the standard dessert options were off-limits for me, the kitchen went above and beyond to prepare a custom treat, surprising me with a rich and delicious flourless cake with pecans that rounded out the meal perfectly. I did order an Aperol spritz separately, which was not covered under the dinner package, but it was well worth it. Between the fantastic service, the peace of mind regarding cross-contamination, and the seamless transition from a relaxing meal right into a phenomenal show, it made for a fantastic celebration that we both thoroughly enjoyed.

I had tickets to see Little Shop of Horrors at the Marriott Theatre attached to the hotel. It was a…read moresold out show the day we went and freezing cold outside. Not wanting to park far and walk far for the theater hubs and I decided to have dinner at Three Embers before the show. It was a great decision! Making reservations was easy through their website and making last minute changes was just as easy. Three Embers is located in the Marriott hotel. It was a larger, open space room with tables well spread apart and comfortable seating. We sat at a nice cozy table by the window. It was perfect for the 2 of us. I can imagine the view being stunning during the other seasons, but being January my view was of snow and more snow amid branches. We were quickly greeted by our server, Anna, who was warm and welcoming. We had bread and butter (delicious), served water right away, and another staff member switched out our table light for a brighter one that was fully powered. Anna took our drink order and gave us time to look over the menu. We started with the calamari which was delicious! It was perfectly fried with the calamari being nice and tender, complete with our favorite parts the tentacle ends, and well seasoned. Hubby ordered the porterhouse which as prepared spot on, medium rare! The fingerling potatoes were SO DELICIOUS!!! They were crispy, fluffy, tender, and such a good accompaniment to the steak! Honestly as a carb lover, I'd be happy with just a big plate of the crispy fingerling potatoes. The carrots were sweet and prepared just enough to be tender, but with a crunch. He appreciated that it wasn't boiled or steamed to death carrots. I ordered the Black and Bleu salad. It was a large portion salad, perfect for dinner without being heavy. The steak was prepared a medium rare and topped with delicate crispy fried onion strings. Everything in the salad worked so well together making it a nice cohesive entree. The really enjoyed the grilled corn in the salad! The dressing was a light dressing and had a hint of sweetness, but not overpowering the flavors. Unfortunately my steak was a bit on the fatty and gristly side so quite a bit had to be discarded. This was the downside to the salad. Overall, the meal exceeded our expectations and didn't fit into what some would think of as "hotel restaurant food." The prices are on the higher side, but for some of the conveniences and location, it was worth it. The service was wonderful! Anna was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and so sweet! We never felt rushed. She checked back after serving us each course to make sure everything was good and had perfect timing sensing when we needed our check to make the show. I can see why other Yelpers rave about having her as their server! I would certainly come back to Three Embers for dinner before a show. Parking was easy as we were there before the show, parked at the hotel and entered through the hotel. We walked from the restaurant to the theatre without ever having to step foot outside in the freezing single-digit temps.

We have wanted to try Miramar for a long time based on reputation and reviews, so we booked it for our 30th wedding anniversary dinner. TL/DR, food was only ok, service was attentive, but overall experience was disappointing. Selected "anniversary" on the Open Table reservation...and added in the notes that it was our 30th. Nonetheless, nobody said a word about either when we were greeted or seated. Sigh. When we ordered two glasses of champagne, the server asked if we were celebrating. Yes, we were...and were surprised nobody knew... Our meal was fine but only fine. Had the mushroom soup and endive salad, both specials, both pretty good (and the salad big enough to share). She ordered the salmon, I had the lamb shank (both on the menu). I like my food hot...and I am as a result confident that I have never written this before...the food came really hot. TOO hot. Inediblly hot. Both dishes, and especially the lamb. Once it cooled down enough to be edible, the lamb shank and basil whipped potatoes and vegetables were good (dried out a little from the heat?); the salmon was only ok and a little fishy tasting. Her glass of Pinot Grigio was quite nice; mine of Bordeaux was delicious, but served surprisingly warm for a restaurant/glass at this price point -- I'd have expected them to have a proper wine refrigerator. Then, finally... We asked about, and then decided not to have a dessert. The server was kind to bring us a well intentioned delivery of two glasses of prosecco (which we didn't drink --- had already had a champagne and a glass of wine) and asked if we'd like that dessert after all to have with it. We said "sure." They then charged us for the dessert... For the record, our server was kind and attentive and professional, and the rest of the team were equally so. But, in summary, for a pretty aggressive price point, this was a disappointing experience on a night we hoped would be special. Perhaps we're victims of a holiday weekend meal...we're hoping ours isn't a typical experience.

Our waiter/bartender had a bit of an attitude, and some of his responses came across as rude. We ended up being there for about an hour and still noticed empty tables, so I'm not really sure what the 20-minute wait was about. I asked if I could substitute mashed potatoes for the baked potato, and there was also some back-and-forth about butterflying our steak. Since we wanted it well done, he kept insisting it would take longer, which we didn't mind at all. The steak ended up coming out not butterflied anyway, so I'm not really sure what the attitude was about. Overall, the food was really good, but the customer service could definitely be better. We actually stopped in to get some insight because we'd like to send some of our customers over from our business, so the service experience was important to us but we shall see?
