I went with the eggs benedict for breakfast and it was okay, nothing special. Staff was quick and friendly
Service was basically non-existent. There were only 3-4 other seated tables in the restaurant but we waited a few minutes to be seated and another 5-10 for someone to get our drink orders.
A little jewel well-hidden in downtown Mesa at the Marriott Hotel! The food is great, the service is fine, pricing is moderate. But the big hit is the ambience! Cozy yet roomy and very comfortable. Couch-style seating with large bay windows that can be opened up when the weather is good. A great place for a lunch meeting or a get-away meal with that special person when you want some privacy. The Chicken-noodle soup with Orso and huge chunks of tender chicken and noodles is delightful. The sandwiches are meaty and the salads are original and very fresh. Hard to find but well worth the effort!
Marriott should spend more time in developing their restaurants or those within their hotels.
Congrats- you're featured in the latest Verizon wireless tv commercial for the droid razor m by Motorola.
It gets a star for the white bean soup, which was pretty good. Beyond that, it all goes downhill. Slow service, few vegetarian options, three big screen TVs blaring sports, cold french fries Unfortunately, I had to eat here three times because we were trapped on the property and there isn't anything else. At lunch, I ordered the grilled cheese and specifically asked that they use Cheddar cheese instead of the menu American cheese. After sending it back twice, I gave up and ate the American cheese.
And really, "Mediterranean flare???" The lunch menu features hot dogs, fast food french fries, Zesta plastic wrapped saltines with the soup, and over-oiled cafeteria style pasta salad.
If you're staying at this hotel, you'd do good to visit a grocery store ahead of time and eat in your room.
