Ember Modern American Tavern

This is an excellent restaurant with very good food. My salad had exceptional flavor and very plentiful. The Pinot from Italy was an excellent compliment. The ambiance is social but quiet enough to easily have a 2 person convo. My server was attentive and super nice. Great dinner evening

Food was mediocre and service was slow. No one told us the credit card machine was down until we went to pay.

The food here is horrible! I mean absolutely horrible! Had egg Benedict for breakfast it tasted like vinegar and lunch I would not feed it to my dog!

Worst experience ever :) Stay in Renaissance Waterford couple days get the vouchers for breakfast but seems the server really doesn't like the vouchers, since we came in the restaurant and I show my vouchers the waitresses just looks very nervous and makes me very uncomfortable. The first time I experienced your bill comes with your meal lol thats hilarious lol. Food is ok but my advice if you don't like vouchers then talk to hotel cancel it but if you accept voucher do it good be nice to ur customers.

Came here for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday since I was staying at the hotel and I got a voucher to eat there for free. This was due to the fact that concierge lounge is closed on the weekends and I'm a Marriott Gold member.The food was pretty good and the waiter was super friendly and nice. I ordered the mushroom omelette with caramelized onions which came with hash browns on one of the days. It was pretty good and they even made it without egg yolks. Really light, fluffy, and flavorful.I also got the ember breakfast on one day and it was also good. I think they give you like 4 sausage patties which was a little bit much for me but it was all really tasty.

Ordered a steak (rare, no potatoes please), the kid's macaroni and cheese, and one cocktail. The bartender told me they're missing some of the ingredients to make the cocktail so I asked for a mojito - it was bad. Very bland. Not sure how you mess up a mojito but this was genuinely a bad mixed drink. Then they came out and told me they didn't have the ingredients for the kid's macaroni and cheese. My son said he'd happily share my steak and take an order of fries. Steak came out and it was probably medium well. My son even said, verbatim, "this steak isn't tasting so good." There were parts of the veggies that weren't cooked at all - they were actually ice cold. The only satisfactory thing about the experience was the fries, which my son happily gobbled up. The waitress was nice and obviously struggling but in the end I almost pleaded with them to release me from this experience.

I was singularly impressed with the deliciousness of both the Margherita Flatbread (yum!) and the roasted chicken.Our table service was polite and professional, and the flan (OMG) that came for dessert truly topped the evening -- rich, creamy, and perfectly decadent. (Best part of the meal, hands down.)Five stars for the ambience, too.

Went to this bar last night on Christmas Eve. Asked the bartender if he had any Christmas themed cocktails. The bartender said "What is that"? I'm not necessarily blaming the bartender, but management should put some effort into helping folks away from home to celebrate the holidays in a festive style. So I declined to order anything and left. Also, the bartender needs to button up his shirt because nobody wants to see that.

Had a reservation for thanksgiving. The food was Luke warm, we had a reservation for 1:30, buffet ended at 2:30 I believe. We were originally seated at a table, where a chair would run into the breakfast buffet line. We were moved to another table, directly in front of a private room where the door would hit a seat. The seating arrangements need work in the room where the food is at

Mediocre food and poor service. We had a family dinner here and it definitely was a disappointment. The chicken fried steak at $22 definitely wasn't hand battered; it was straight from the freezer like a fast food restaurant. Lukewarm mashed potatoes and my wife's $32 salmon was dry as a bone. Our server randomly picked up empty plates and my wife's was never picked up. Server was sweet but definitely not trained well. Prices don't justify the quality of the food or service.
