   Excellent service and cocktails. The escalator was busy and distracting, otherwise a good experience.

   I was staying at the JW so i invited the rest of my coworkers to have dinner there.We were the only people eating in the restaraunt, so that should have clued us in. No vegan protien options. So I had overpriced vegetables in sauce. On of the people from my party ordered a burger "well". It was was served raw. The drinks were super strong which we needed lol. Server was great and very apologetic.

   I went to lunch at Stray Horse because the JW Marriott was the venue I was attending a seminar. I arrived earlier then other attendees and the restaurant got full very quickly. I was able to get my order in before the restaurant filled up. There were four people total assisting the crowd. I have never seen anyone move as quickly and assisting everyone with their needs. Even though they were busy they made sure I was taken care of. The chef salad was exceptional. I went to eat there the next day for lunch...need I say more.

   The JW Marriott used to have a nice restaurant on floor 2. They've converted that to a meeting room, so the current restaurant is next to the bar on the first floor and the well-used escalator. No place for a client meeting, but if you're in the hotel and just need to sit at a table and be served lunch or dinner from a somewhat limited menu, it works.

   Breakfast - very expensive but very good. Service was not great. Was not served water until end of meal. No pepper in pepper shaker. I think they were very short staffed that day, in fairness. $30 to valet park in the hotel and hotel won’t validate the parking.

   This was one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. The service was horrific.

   Menu did not match what was online so don't trust any postings in that regard. Ordered the mahi tacos that should have come with "mexican corn" and was brought chips and salsa as my side. When I asked the waitress she said "no it's definitely chips and salsa and the menu here shows that, you must have looked at the online menu that doesn't match". I took a look at the paper menu again and it did show the corn and not the chips and salsa, so that was a direct lie. Steak was ordered at medium rare and came in well done, this was also acknowledged by the waitress. She was nice enough to have it replaced without any difficulty, however the replacement was bathed in oil as well as the sides it came with. All you could taste was burnt oil on the potatoes. Reservation not needed, they tell you to seat yourself anyway. I did not know this coming in and stood at the front where a sign states "wait to be seated" for about 10 minutes before anyone told me to have a seat. Then it took another 15 minutes to have my order taken. Would not recommend to anyone for dining.

    We made a reservation which wasn’t necessary at all. We didn’t know it was going to be inside of a hotel. $25 valet didn’t match the menu or service. Self-seating. If you’rea guest of the hotel and can’t get out, it’ll be fine for a quick bite of wings or pizza but $15-20 drinks don’t couple well with $10 entrees.
