Route 22 Restaurant & Bar

Hidden gem located inside the Anaheim Marriott Suites in Garden Grove. I enjoy restaurants at hotel properties, I feel they are always a hit or miss you never know but this place surprised me! Service was beyond great, thanks to Jose for the pizza recommendation! He was nice to talk to! In the past I have also had the sliders which come with an aioli chipotle sauce i believe, delicious! Will be back to try the Steak.

Route 22 is a Restaurant/Bar localed in the Anaheim Suites Hotel. I haven't tried their any of their food, I tried drinks from their bar once during my recent stay.Not having looked at the menu, I asked for an Old Fashioned (whiskey cocktail) and the bartender asked what type of whiskey I'd like to use and I chose Bulleit Bourbon, and they made it really well, sweet but not too sweet. I liked it so much I ordered two of them. I don't expect a lot out of hotel bars, but this place did a good job. My only criticism is that they close at 11pm, even on Fridays and Saturdays, but overall it was a good bar/Old Fashioned experience.

The hotel gave us a complimentary breakfast for Route 22 as it's usually $30/person. Located in the lobby at the Marriott. They have your standard breakfast foods like sausage links, eggs, bacon, oatmeal, cereal. Fruits, pastries, French toast, bagels, toast and drinks. Nice service and very large space to feel comfortable.

restaurant/bar at the lobby level inside the marriott...food looking good, but came down for a drink at the bar...short chat with the bartender and asking about an old fashion...told they make best...bartender working through all the steps and making a great old fashion $17...only the ice an issues, but a good drink...long time sipping and getting a whiskey sour next $12...making some tasty cocktails...finishing with a chilled laphroiag $22...no prices on the drink menu, and only finding out the prices after the check...

Great service, very welcoming & gave us great food recommendations. We ordered the New York Steak & drinks at the bar. Our drinks were always full & food came out pretty quick.Jose helped us out tonight & we'd definitely come back

I rely heavily on Yelp restaurant ratings when selecting where to eat and sometimes the total score does not align with current reality. This is a prime example of a restaurant that has an unfair rating based on historic and unrelated information. We stayed at the Marriott and almost did not eat here because they only get a 3.1. As I dove deeper into the reviews, I realized that most of the low scores were from five years ago. Any recent low scores below 5 stars were submitted by patrons who did not even eat at the restaurant. Our waiter was named Standel who was on top of our needs, regularly bring out fresh waters. I got a big glass of a more than decent Sauvignon blanc for just $9. Salmon was cooked perfectly, mashed potatoes were great and they served with asparagus, broccolini and carrots, all were fantastic and the plate was priced very reasonably, especially for Anaheim. Do yourself a favor, ignore the total rating and give this place a shot!We were also seated off behind the bar in a quiet area where we could work.

Standel at the bar was amazing! He was very kind and funny. Made sure I was taken care of while waiting for my order. He was really kind to everyone at the bar and made the experience great! Nice way to end my work day. Thank you Standel!

We had the best bar tender. Jefferson was friendly k and observant. We were very taken care of.

My review is specifically regarding the recurring bar service that my wife and I received. The hotel itself and the paid breakfast do not compare. However, there is a hidden gem in this place and I hope they value him well. Standel was our bartender and has proven to be a master mixologist! Just listen to the Man please. Moreover, his personality and service are superior. We enjoyed the best cocktails we've ever had from Standel at Route 22. If you are in a hurry, try to slow yourself down before entering. Exceptional cocktails take time. Standel has an artistic style of muddling fresh fruits and veggies and a creative twist on mixes that will enhance your senses, satisfy your pellet and elevate your mind. His Blackberry Bramble is phenomenal and the light smoke of the mezcal hits the spot. Again, just listen to the Man! The Green Leaves of Summer is another treasure. The Angus Beef Sliders are perfection and will pair with any drink and the kettle chips with hot sauce (as recommended) are FIRE. There are two sliders that are great for sharing so you can continue to feel light and playful. Have fun and treat yourself and someone else. Many blessings Standel.

Jefferson, our bartender, was attentive, helpful and so much fun! His recommendation and execution of a (Smokey Blackberry) Mezcal Bramble was AMAZING!!! We'll definitely be back for more tomorrow.
