    Breakfast burrito
    Mike T.

    Went downstairs for breakfast and there we about 3 people in line. This is the only place to eat in the Marriott due to COVID. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a coffee. Got the coffee right away and the barista was super friendly. Unfortunately it took about 30 minutes for me to receive my breakfast burrito from the time I got in line. We are talking scrambled eggs, diced bacon, hash browns and cheese wrapped in a tortilla. No way that should take 25 minutes to make. And charging $15 for those simple ingredients is highway robbery. When I finally got my food it was a very good breakfast burrito. However I just can't get over the price and how long it took to prepare.

    So sad.  Burnt steak.
    Jim B.

    Although the service was fine, the food was not. I ordered the steak medium-rare and it came out charred & well done. Absolutely horrid. I didn't have time to wait for another meal so I ate what was akin to extremely dry beef jerky along with charred green beans. Very disappointing.

    Bison ribeye
    J M.

    This restaurant replaced Zebulon's Grille at the Marriott Hotel. The remodeled restaurant has a new look and menu and was a pleasant surprise. For my meal, I had the Herb Marinated Grilled Bison Ribeye Steak. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. The house salad, Yukon potatoes and broccoli were good too. For dessert I had a moist and delicious chocolate cake. Service was great too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Perfect place to bring out of town guests, because the view is amazing…read more I've been a few times. This is a great place to get dressed up and have drinks. The last time I was there was just for drinks and dessert. The bartender made me a really bespoke drink for me that fit my dietary needs at the time and was delicious. We also went for Father's Day one year. Super busy. Presentation is always beautiful.

    We made a reservation and specifically requested window seating because the view is the main reason…read morepeople come here. When we arrived, there were multiple open tables right by the windows. I politely asked if we could sit at one of them, and the hostess immediately shut it down, saying those tables were assigned to certain servers. That may be how things work internally, but as a guest, it should not feel like you are being denied something that is clearly available, especially when you made the effort to request it ahead of time. What stood out even more than the refusal was the attitude. There was no warmth, no attempt to accommodate, and no sense of hospitality just a cold, dismissive interaction. First impressions matter, and this one set the tone for the entire experience. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it. My country fried steak was dry and lacked any crispness, like it had been sitting out for a while instead of being freshly prepared. The potatoes had the same issue dry, stale, and not worth the price. Nothing tasted fresh. I will say our server was kind and tried to do a good job, and the view is undeniably beautiful. But a great location cannot carry an experience when the basics hospitality and food quality fall short. At the end of the day, this is not just about one table or one dish. It is about how guests are made to feel. People spend their time and money here expecting a welcoming experience, especially when celebrating moments or simply wanting to enjoy the setting. Being met with indifference and attitude instead of basic courtesy is disappointing. Think twice before booking here. A beautiful view means very little when the hospitality is poor and the food feels neglected. I hope management takes a serious look at how guests are treated from the moment they walk in and asks themselves a simple question: if you were the customer, would this experience feel acceptable?

    Update to my review from ~8 years ago. We STILL love this place…read more My husband loves the soup and the cake! We went most recently for brunch.

    It's not often that I can say every item I order is great but at Shuga's everything really is…read moregreat. Shuga's Favorite Cafe Tray is an order that could satisfy one's entire meal but is best when shared as a starter or if you are looking for a light meal. The Mediterranean selection with the hummus and tapenade is amazing with the coconut shrimp soup being a must try with its creamy and spiciness. Though I love the almond butter cake the most to add a little dessert to the meal. The Madame of the Pletzl is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The bagel is perfectly salted and has a wonderful crunch the sandwich needs. The egg melts into the sandwich, mixing with everything it needs to. The ham is fried up to crisp it up a bit but the ham seems to be lacking flavor wise compared to everything else in the sandwich. The Cuban Mojo Sandwich also is an amazing sandwich. The pork shoulder is crisped up nicely and works so well with everything else. The winter soup was a tomato soup with some grilled cheese croutons and it is the best tomato soup I've ever had. The tomato soup isn't puréed, there are noticeable definitions in the tomatoes in the soup. The soup isn't too acidic which is the usual issue in tomato soups. The croutons really amplify this dish on to another level and I just wish there were more in my soup. I can't wait to come back here and my biggest issue will to try and order new things.

    The Seoul Bowl absolutely steals the show here. Thinly sliced bulgogi, layered over rice with crisp…read morevegetables, kimchi, and a sunny side up egg creates a rich, balanced bite every time. Once mixed together, the yolk coats everything into a delicious fresh dense bowl that's deeply satisfying without feeling too heavy. The crispy calamari was a great, light, crunchy meal. The octupus pieces were thick and paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The breading wasn't distracting but rather adding to the flavor. The thai chili salmon plate was bright and fresh, with a nice balance of glaze, greens, and noodles. Overall, higher quality for lower price. We will be returning. Cocktails were just as thoughtful as the food -- vibrant, fruity, sweet, and beautifully presented. If you come here, order the Seoul Bowl. It's comforting, flavorful, and easily the standout dish on the table

    Came here with my partner our last night in town. I hardly ever come across entirely gluten-free…read morerestaurants (mostly cafes or small shops), so I felt compelled to give it a try. It's a very cute place to walk into, as it has warm lights and greenery lacing it's exterior. The first site, really, is the counter of delicious sweets. I think it gives you an idea of what dessert *could* be dessert, or what you may want to take home for a late night snack. Don't remember the service.
