The Crafted Plate

This restaurant is attached to a hotel (didn't know that when I picked it to eat lol). But they have their own entrance as well. Though it wasn't busy at all when we came, the service was extremely slow. However the waiter was very nice. That being said, everything we ordered was delicious!! My brother had two of the Moscow Mules and said they were amazing. He ordered some burger with pork on it also and it was giant!! The fries on the side were just how I like them, very crispy, of course I helped him eat them! I split with someone the buffalo chicken wings and Cobb salad. Both were delicious! Wings had great flavor. But the Cobb salad was probably the best I've ever had! It was so huge, definitely a good size portion for sharing! Everything tasted very fresh. Would definitely eat here again even if I'm not staying at the hotel! Lol.

I'm only giving 2 stars because I actually love Marriott. The hotel is amazing, super friendly staff, clean rooms and the scent is super refreshing. The food on the other hand is horrible. I order the alligator tacos and it was very bland and expensive. I wanted to send it back and have it taken off the bill, but I didn't want to trouble the waiter. The food was horrible- absolutely no taste.

Perfect location for a date night! Drinks and appetizers, soft music perfect for us to chat and enjoy each other. Good service with attention to detail. The drinks were enjoyable and the appetizers delicious!! We will return for a meal.

I'm stepping up my rating of this place after numerous repeat visits that were much better then the first. The service here has really improved as well. Not sure if it's because I'm a "regular" now but they're better at greeting you at the door and service seems speedier. I always have the elderflower martini here ($11.00) which is good, strong, but good. I like a good strong martin after a crap day so no complaints here. They've changed a few things as well, still trying to find perfection. The heirloom tomato salad ($9.00) is presented in a stack style now, which I like, and it's very good . Numerous types of tomato with nice fresh mozz and a great balsamic. the chicken and waffle sliders ($10.00) also seemed to be stepped up some, although still not on advertised "Belgian " waffles. They should just deleted that word from the description . The chicken is done so well though, its very good!had my traditional gnocchi bolognaise ($20.00) which is a little high priced for pasta dish, but it is at a hotel restaurant, and it is darn good. Barely tweeked from the old vincenzos days as it really didn't need it. He had the chicken marsala ($26.00) Definitely overpriced for chicken BUT have to say, best marsala I've had In a long time. Really good stuff, and the chicken was soooo juicy . Impressive.Had a bottle of Justin Isocseles with dinner ($80.00) suggested by our waiter, and it was very good and not badly off pricepoint either.I will continue to support this business and look forward to return visits. (Hopefully without 40 kids screaming around the very visible pool-they really should put curtiains on the windows)

I dropped in for a quick evening dinner. The restaurant is operating at partial capacity with a partial menu. Service was overall decent as well as the food. I tried the cobb salad and enjoyed it.

Wasn't impressed with Happy Hour offerings, but our waitress was super sweet. Orders took an extremely lengthy amount of time due to a computer glitch - would have been cool to get something complimentary to make up for the endless wait for flatbreads and wings.

I stayed at the Marriott for several days and most nights there was no other option but to eat here as I would return too late. They had a new menu on my first day and the staff was not well versed in it. Some of the food was good. I wouldn't order breakfast here. Twice I asked for toast and it was barely warmed. Toast is not to be soft. Coffee is $5 for a large. Starbucks but yet I could go to Starbucks and pay significantly less for a cup of coffee. Service was good at the bar itself but anywhere else was slow and kept having to flag staff down. My suggestion is to uber to other restaurants. There aren't any options waking distance. Alternatively, the chef can tweet their menu and train their staff. This is a business area and would generally book up. I would think it would be worth those extra steps.

St. Petersburg, FloridaThis restaurant is inside the Marriott Hotel Clear Water. The atmosphere is nice. Rich earth tones, dark wood, with reddish/orange achair and stool padding. There was soft music playing that was easy to listen to. Some restaurants play there music too The restaurant has a nice bar with a decent selection of wines, beer, and liquor. I had the Whiskey Ginger (Bulliet and ginger ale), it was good. I ordered an 8 piece BBQ chicken wing appetizer. Very good. Tasty, piping hot, and came out quickly. My server was prompt and gave me plenty of time to select my meal. I did not feel rushed. For my main course I had the Marriott burger. An 8 oz burger with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. I had the fries for my side. The burger was just okay. Nothing to write home about. The meat tasted char grilled, but maybe just a bit strong on the char flavor, and also a bit dry. It was cooked medium as I requested and hot. The bun was grocery store quality. The fries were hot, but had some type of coating on them. They were okay, but I prefer regular crinkle cut or straight cut fries without a coating. Overall I give this place a 3. I was just satisfied, notdisappointed though. When traveling and needing food and if you don't feel like leaving the hotel it's a decent place to eat. But if you are up to it I suggest venturing out and checking out some of the other restaurants in the area.

Ordered a Marriott burger.. For some reason was thinking it would have more of a flavorful burger but it had a really strong char taste. Honestly too overpowering.. Wouldn't buy again.

At best. This was mediocre. Good ok. Drinking -- blah. I watched two people order a blue moon, Neither received an orange ... like really, we are in Florida, there must me oranges somewhere.
