What People Are Saying

from Google

"Ordered eggs benedict and it came out overly cooked and just like hard boiled egg. The service was slow in morning. To make it worse, the waitress was lack of interpersonal skills and basically said we are short of staff and you need to wait longer."

"Enjoyed breakfast on Thanksgiving morning at Monks. There was only one server, Brianna, who was incredible as she was alone and at one point I counted 10+ tables being served. The kitchen staff was assisting and the food was amazing. I can’t compliment Brianna enough for staying calm and hustling to ensure everyone had the best dining experience possible. I hope the management appreciates this professional team member."

"Beautiful set up, the waiter was very accommodating, and sweet. Food was excellent. The shrimp saganaki was incredible, definitely a must try. The dinner portion of gnocchi was semi small, but had excellent flavor. The cheesecake was very creamy, and delicious."

★★★★★

"Drinks are good. Service was solid. Food is AWFUL for the price. $30 for Gnocci with Short Rib "Ragu" , which looks like Gnocci in a can of Campbells canned stew. $27 for shrimp and tortellini pesto, which they confirmed was from a jar/can after asking about nuts in the pesto. Fries were clearly frozen and soggy as well. A shame because the hotel it's attached to is very nice."

★★

"We had one dinner and two breakfasts here during our two night stay at the adjacent Marriott. In my opinion the breakfast staff was superior to the one evening we had dinner there. But their main fault here is the food quality. It's like they're trying to get things wrong. To start with the "no Coke only Pepsico" products - you should have a case of Coca Cola cans stashed somewhere - there's no reason for it to be a fountain drink especially at the prices sold here. They also seem to be trying to save the planet one cardboard straw at a time (ergh...) In the end I wound up having iced tea and it was so watered down that I think the tea in it was homeopathic: A single drop of tea in a glass of ice water. Secondly I had their 18$ hamburger (under protest) and they managed to get that wrong by providing a small beef patty on a generic oiled bun, with generic mayonnaise in the bun and nothing else, basically no trimmings other than a slice of tomato, a single raw onion ring, and a leaf of iceberg lettuce. I can tolerate this low level of effort at a ball game or a Nascar race but this is a sit down restaurant at a Marriott hotel and the restaurant prices reflect this. The fries were very forgettable. Breakfasts were not as bad but still not great given the prices. At least the breakfast service was great compared to the evening dinner service. In the end I concluded that this place was more of a bar than a restaurant."
