    It was a slow night with only 5 tables in the restuarant at our time. There was only one wait staff. They were constantly behind and had trouble keeping our orders accurate, from right type of soda and wine. We will not be going back any time soon.

    Stayed at the hotel night prior decided to stay in and try bfast at their only restaurant. Overall disappointed. 50% ish occupied, waited 10-12 minutes to be seated. We were only ones to be seated. Immediately ordered had a sense things appeared to be moving slowly. Took 45 mins to get a simple egg platter. Had to flag down staff for simple coffee refills. Food avg and cost was so so. Problem appeared to be lack of management, plenty of help compared to customers dining. Noticed a few other tables complaining about their order. Staff nice but needed direction. I complained to Marriott. Nice hotel and location if you’re there for something UNC Charlotte related.

    The food and service varies each time we go. This time the service was an issue. I ordered a Stella Artois and my colleague ordered an IPA. After 20 mins the server came to the table and said the IPA wasn’t available. He asked for a different one. After another 10 mins I followed up and the server brought a blue moon and a Stella. The Stella was in a can and the server didn’t bring a glass. Overall the server wasn’t attentive and didn’t follow up drinks refills. The menu seems to have changed (no fried green tomatoes anymore). The overall quality of the food this visit was similar to a chain like Applebees. For the desserts my colleague ordered ice cream and it literally was a couple of scoops of chocolate ice cream. I had the s’mores dessert which was pretty good.

    I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The American cheeseburger was amazing. I loved they had a singer in the background playing some songs.

    Our waitress Nora was amazing, she was extremely polite, attentive to all our needs (we were a large party) and she didn’t miss a beat. The food was delicious and all staff was friendly. Thank you 😊

    Drinks were wrong several times, our server kept disappearing. Food was cooked poorly and had to be sent back. The food that came was not the same as the menu descriptions. Very disappointing

    Some of the food was good i.e. the deviled eggs, cornbread. My steak frites were not cooked to the correct temperature. The waiter was not attentive and did not give refills or come over to ask how our food was until we were ready to go. There was adequate staff and hardly no one in the restaurant.
