Just had lunch there. Initially the service was lousy. We had to wait 25 minutes for the order to be taken, and another 10 for the wine to arrive, and then it was unchilled. After I'd moaned, things changed immediately. Service was overpowering. But the steaks were good, the chef arrived to ask if they were done correctly, and all was OK. The mistake we made was not ordering food and wine within the first 5 minutes; if you deliberate they overlook you to serve subsequent arrivals.

Overall nothing you'll remember for long but the room is large, the space between tables is generous and it's a plain vanilla experience.

Think of different hotel names and the images they conjure up in your mind: Mandarin Oriental; The Lanesborough; The Soho Hotel, each one has an element of class, sophistication, well thought through style in its particular class. Now think of Mariott. Not quite the same is it. And therein lies the problem with this restaurant, the food is just so Mariott.

By this i mean that they have clearly spent some, though not too much, time looking at what good, mteroplitan, stylish restaurants do in terms of styling, service, and of course, food. They then take this, remove all of the things that make it good in other places, and add in that special chain hotel feel.

So, bread when it arrived had seemingly spent some time in the gym due to its muscularity, and that was quite possibly sometime a lot earlier in the day. My dining companion's monkfish - fine if lacking any sort of imagination, flair or originality whatsoever.

Me, i went for the burger, which i consider to be something of a bellwether of the quality of a place. This failed. McDonalds bun; chewy, tasteless, sinewy meat; too old sweaty, rubbery cheese; bought in, overcooked, greasy chips; coleslaw with the unmistakeable film atop indicating much earlier potting and a chef who can't be bothered to stir it before stirring.

And finally, a 50% off deal, where they then add on supplements for meat dishes, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A GRILL RESTAURANT. Ludicrous.

Galvin Windows is just down the road, this would be a false economy if you chose one over the other.

A dreadful experience. I booked online for 8.30; arrived about 8.25. Not very welcoming. Put at a table and left alone. Menu eventually came but no offer of a drink. Waited a long time before my order was taken. They brought a generous portion of bread with my glass of wine. By 9.20 I had seen only one table getting food. No sign of my lobster bisque and few staff visible at any time. I want to complain but no one comes near at all. At 9.26 my bisque arrives and it's obvious that the bottom of the pot had burnt. It tastes awful; there is tough rubbery stuff in the bottom of the bowl and one decent piece of meat. I had asked, when served, whether they realised I'd been waiting an hour; in fairness, the waiter (maitre d', I think) apologised and offered a glass of wine on the house, which I accepted. Main arrived at 9.42. It looked good but was the driest burger ever, with dull coleslaw, flavourless tomatoes and a reasonable leaf salad. Never again, even at 50% off food.

I can't recommend this venue highly enough for service and friendliness, especially for groups.

We had a joint 40th birthday lunch their with our very extensive families (2 dozen diners) who ranged in age from 3 to 101. The restaurant could not have been more welcoming and accommodating of everyone's different needs, both during the booking process and on the day.

The food was really very delicious, buffet style. It's not the Fat Duck, but there was something there for everyone, even the fussy eaters and the kids.

The service was impeccable - personal but unobtrusive, and very calm and unhurried.

They even managed to come up with personalised birthday deserts - without even being asked. Not just for us, but also for two other members of our party who had birthdays at around the same time.

We had a great afternoon, and felt very well looked after

To be honest, the least they could have done was kept proportion size equal and have neat presentation, however when 5 out of the 6 of us ordered the same main (stewed lamb shank), my dish came topled over hardly looking presentable, whilst carrots varied from huge to near tiny. I do admit the lamb was rather tasty, soft and easily torn from the bone, the sauce was rich and intense, but at 30 pounds a head for a starter and a main, i would have expected presentation to have been a little better.
