We arrived after the lunch rush and we warned ahead of time (but after we paid for parking) that their machines were down but we could still order if we wanted. I’m guessing most of my problems stem from that, and maybe some of this wouldn’t be a problem on a regular day, but I found myself leaving the table to go to the bar to get the one server’s attention for much of what we needed. A menu to order from, a reminder after the food arrived that I had ordered a beer, the checks and a box. We got a flatbread, BLT and fries, which the flatbread tasted really good, but the crust was soggy and the fries were cold (possibly it came out nice and sat for a while before it made it to us).
I think if we had been staying at the hotel this would’ve been a serviceable meal while we were waiting for something to happen, but living in Orlando, there are better restaurants out there.

First time visiting on my way from the Taco and Margarita festival downtown. Very quaint atmosphere located inside the Marriott hotel, with very nice and relaxing music playing. Very friendly staff. Janine was my bar tender who made me a Red Sangria that was deliciously spot on and packed a punch! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional which is always refreshing. Gave my visit a 5-star rating because of the experience, although there is no happy hour and a change in menu items available, which varies from what it shows and says on their website. All in all, will return to try the food, and/or enjoy another cocktail!

I visited here with a friend today and had a good meal. The atmosphere felt kind of cold and unappealing, and the soups were not as good as we would have expected, but the cups we’re very good. The flat breads we’re excellent and the blackened snapper was absolutely wonderful. The service was very friendly and attentive. All in all, it was a good dining experience.

Dinner was very good. Had the Blackened Salmon Tacos which had a type of ranch sauce, pineapple, cabbage, sprouts, along with a side of vegetables. Overall, it was a good dinner that was comparative to other locations. Enjoy!

Lexi was great. 5 stars for her, she was amazing. But I’ve been here several times and there’s something always wrong this kitchen, food comes slow. The manager is never here, only the bartenders. So 1 star for me

Obrian was a awesome bartender. She made me the best margarita I ever had.

We stayed at the Marriott Downtown Orlando and had breakfast here for 5 days. We are coming all the way from Dubai and we had a great experience. The food was great and comes quite fast.
Kudos to Tomasa, the lead host in the restaurant who always greeted us with a smile and was very hospitable. Michael, the restaurant manager was also very welcoming and made our breakfast and stay very pleasurable.
Keep up the great service!

My wife and I while staying at the Marriott Orlando had dinner at the “Shade Bar and Grill.” We didn’t have the best experience with food and service. Being a restaurant owner, I all to well understand that every restaurant can have a bad night. I wanted to talk with the kitchen manager, being a late meal ( almost closing time ) he had already left. I went back in the morning before we checked out and asked to speak with the food and beverage manager. I was promptly greet be Michael the Restaurant manager. I explained our issues with the night before and we talked for quite some time of the new issues we have faced over the post Covid years. Michael could not have been more professional. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with him. I am leaving 5 stars not because of our experience the night before but rather knowing what great and capable hands this restaurant is in going forward. Thank you Michael.
Sincerely,

We had Obrian as our server and she was just fantastic! She was very attentive and personable!!! Food was good and reasonably priced for a hotel bar/restaurant!

The host was very nice but it took 20 minutes to get a drink. Would have been better if sitting at the bar. The manager was walking around and should have noticed we didn’t even have water. The place was not busy. I would not recommend the chips and salsa. The chips were fine and the salsa was edible but not good. I would have given 2.5 stars but opted to round down. I’m not one to just rate poorly when I have a bad experience. If I like a place I give credit when credit is due. I was even more disappointed that this was in a Marriott property and really like Marriott. They can do better.
