We took out of town guests to the restaurant for brunch before they had to catch a flight. Everyone loved the variety of food and thought the food was delicious. Our guests were excited when the desserts came out for the lunch time brunch.

Business breakfast. Served its purpose as location was convenient for people coming from multiple locations. Had an omelet. Mediocre. Hash browns should have been cooked more. It was fine just nothing great. At first I thought I would get the buffet which was same piece as most menu options. But selection was mediocre and the scrambled eggs looked like they came from a mix.

Went for Fathers Day. Everyone had a great time!

You're eating here because you're in the hotel and don't have a choice. Wait staff was rude. They have three different menus depending if you use the app or look in the room or go to the restaurant. It says delivery available but I was told they don't do that. I stood at the host stand where it said to wait for a host, but the staff stared at me and just walked away. When I ordered for pickup the man was offended that I came to the restaurant to pick it up and told me to go to the lobby instead. Food sort of tasted like McDonald's at three times the price. Fries were good though, so you have that to look forward to.

Great location and great service. Food was ok. Private room gave privacy for larger group.

Place was not busy ... And looked like they had enough help ... But service was awful .. had to constantly call server over to get anything

The omelets were fine. Wiuld have liked a turkey or veggies alternative to tge breakfast meats. Itherwise, there were plenty if items yo choose from. The atmosphere is ok, but I noticed the decorative counter areas beside some of the booths were quite dusty. All in all, it was ok, but I expected better from a Marriott.

My husband and I were somewhat later than usual at Riverbend. That's certainly part of the reason the restaurant was nice and quiet. We enjoyed the food, the service, the ambience. Will return again.

Fantastic Mothers Day Brunch With Amazing Staff!

Meals were not of best quality. Mani mani was over cooked and short rib ragu had obviously come out of freezer to be reheated. Service was excellent and attentive but couldn’t make up for food quality
