17 Light Restaurant

A great stop for locals and travelers. 17 Light offers a great fare during the day until 10 pm at night. I love their shrimp tacos. A full bar with lots of beer and wine choices wets the appetite.

Stayed at Residence Inn for 9 weeks and this is the only restaurant in the hotel. Went here only once to know not to come back. Let me explain.Came in on wednesday at 7:30 pm. The first thing you see is the bar. I went to the left and sat down at one of the tables. After a couple minutes a lady gives me a menu. After about a couple minutes I decided to go with wings and a burger. Only problem was, my server was busy serving about 6 different people at the bar. Finally after about 10 minutes I was able to order. I get my food 20 minutes later. I don't understand why it took so long when everybody just had drinks and I was the only one seated in the restaurant part.The wings(6 for $15) were just ok. I got honey old bay flavor. The flavor itself was good but the wings were not cooked all the way for the middle part was lukewarm.The Charm Cheeseburger($20) a half pound beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, on a brioche bun. I wanted bacon added which was 2 dollars more per the menu. The burger itself was actually decent and it comes with potato wedges. They forgot to put the bacon in there but I didnt want to wait for the server to let her know and then wait again just for bacon. At least they didnt charge me for it. Service, or lack there of was atrocious. Every period in between interactions took a long time. In closing, I spent 35 bucks plus tax and tip for bad service and overpriced mediocre food. My co worker had drinks here one night and told me it was way overpriced. If you want good food and/or drinks then go next door to the Water Street Tavern. Their food and service is great there.Yelp 2022 Review #37888 overall

There is a bartender at this place that is truly exceptional, named Trevin. Fast-moving, focused, and always smiling. He even took it upon himself to invent a new drink for us! We came back the next night just because Trevin was there. Drinks here are solid, atmosphere is nice, but it was the service that really drove it home for us. Five stars.

Wow. Stay away from this place. Went on a week night and it seemed very understaffed. Poor staff was running around trying to do multiple things and I heard some people complaining that the dishwasher is broken? What kind of bar/restaurant has a broken dishwasher? I also asked for the manager at one point and I swear she had absolutely zero management experience. To be honest, it's more believable to say she was pretending than to think she's a real manager. Much better places in the area for a few beers and snacks.

I recently dined at the 17th Light Restaurant with a group of 10 friends, which is located inside the Marriott. The restaurant was close to where we were staying, and one of the few places that we didn't have a wait to get a table. We were seated right away with menus, our orders for both drinks and meals were not taken until 10 to 15 minutes later. This should have been a sign that the service was going to be slowwww. Our drinks came out within 5 minutes, which was the quickest thing of the night. The majority of our group ordered burgers, which should be a fairly quick meal to prep. Four of our ten meals where delivered about an hour and fifteen minutes after we were seated, the next four came fifteen minutes later. Apparently two of them were completely forgotten and not even cooked- which meant an even longer delay. The meals all had the potential to be delicious, if only a little effort was put in. All of the fries were cold, orders were messed up, hamburgers were missing toppings... and they worst part? The burgers were extremely under cooked. Four of the burgers were ordered as Medium Well, and came out rawer than rare- disgusting (see my photos). They were somewhat edible, but one burger was so raw, that we had to send it back (with the slow service, it wasn't even replaced). The waiter was apologetic, blaming the delay on a server not showing up to work. Clearly this was a problem in the kitchen. It was shocking to me that the manager on duty made no attempt to apologize. I finally asked to speak with her (Brianna), and was baffled in her lack of professionalism. During my conversation with the manger, she kept doing menial tasks and would not talk to me directly. After I asked her to adjust the bill, she had to call another manager, who offered a 35% discount. I asked for the raw burger that was sent back to be taken off and was rudely told no. I asked to speak to the manager on the phone myself, and was again rudely told no. Finally the hotel manager (Chasity) on duty become involved, and was the complete opposite of Brianna. She was professional and kind, and delivered the kind of service that I would expect. Chasity helped us remove the raw burgers, split the bill, and apply the 35% discount to everything. I am disappointed in the service and meal I received here, but even more disappointed that a great brand like Marriott would let themselves be associated with such a horrible place.

While on a conference in Baltimore, we decided to meet a colleague who was staying in the residence inn and she suggested the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a terrible suggestion. First of all, on a cold rainy night, you don't want to walk into a restaurant to have dinner, only to find out you have to keep your jackets on because it is colder inside than outside!! Secondly, even though there were like two other customers, the service was excruciatingly slow. I decided to order a crab soup to get warm and a blackened tuna wrap, both of which were awful. The soup tasted like canned crushed tomatoes mostly and I was not warned that it was going be spicy. The tuna was super cold and grossly under seasoned. The wasabi aioli was watery and kept spilling everywhere and it was quite tasteless. All in all, a bad experience. I would have enjoyed a subway more!

I came here to meet my sister for her lunch break. She commented that we should pick our food quickly because generally the food takes awhile to come out. We ordered immediately and it didn't take too long. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Wrap (maybe it was mahi mahi?) and it was great. I opted to get the sweet potato tots as a side and it was a good addition. If i'm in the area and meeting my sister for lunch I would definitely come here again. Food is affordable, delicious, and the atmosphere is nice.

Good afternoon, I visited Sopranos on my birthday, and the food was good. Today (December 1, 2023), my colleague offered me a belated "birthday" lunch. I recommended Sopranos. He ordered on-line. I was distraught to hear of the unprofessional service that was encountered. Sopranos' website states that there was a delivery fee of $5.99. My colleague waited for 30 minutes for the order to be delivered (less than a mile from the office). He picked up the food, and inquired about reimbursement for the delivery; charged for food that was not delivered.The server denied Sopranos having a delivery service. I understand that Soprano's will have mixed reviews regarding food, service and ambiance; however, I will not recommend Sopranos to anyone. I am disappointed that Sopranos did not honor their written policy. Thank you for taking the time to read this email.B. Mitchell

Ordered the shrimp tacos because they were out of chicken. Yup, a major chain's restaurant ran out of chicken, at lunch. Took a bite, not good. Second bite, sent them back. Ordered something else? Nope. My coworker made jokes about his chicken tenders (probably frozen) and tater tots. Yes, you can be 7 years old again. Just order the tater tots. Years ago, I liked to stay at Marriotts because the restaurants were always good. Well, not this one. The bar part might be excellent, but the food is just-throw-it-on-the-ground crap.

Great hotel bar. Ghia is the best! She's super personable and has great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. She's AWESOME!
