Most Disliked
Some diners mention occasional wait times, especially during peak hours, which can be frustrating for those with a tight schedule. A few patrons have noted that the price range, while reflective of the quality, may be slightly higher than expected for casual dining. Additionally, despite an impressive array of menu options, some guests wish for more vegetarian or vegan choices. While the atmosphere is generally applauded, a handful of visitors felt it could be a bit noisy during busy times, making conversation challenging. These factors are worth considering for anyone planning to visit.

John W runs the bar like a finely tuned race car. Precision, speed, and style. Whether it’s the first lap of happy hour or the final pit stop before last call, he keeps the crowd fueled and the atmosphere electric. Drinks come out quicker than a pit crew tire change, and he never misses a beat (or a smile). If there were trophies for bartending, John would be taking the podium every night. A true pro who turns every round into a photo finish. Recommendation: Don’t blink: you might miss his perfect pour.

The bartender Jonathan was engaging and gave great customer service. He made my favorite drink, an old fashioned, perfectly. He was fast and very friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend!

Thank you guys for a great burger and service. Mr.Wisdom was the best bartender/server I’ve ever had while traveling. Warm presence about him was a great way for me to be introduced to Huntsville, especially after I was cranky after my flight. God bless

Seek out Jonathan Wisdom. Yes he is a cook.....but his hidden talent is bartending! Ask for a Marriott Old Fashioned - oh my! Absolutely delish and as he says "I do it for the love" He made my cocktail hour exceptional. Great service!

Thank you for the opportunity to have a wonderful breakfast with the Marriott team. I absolutely LOVED the french toast & the delicious fruit. The presentation for the charcuterie board & the french toast was amazing! Thank you to the chef & the staff for a warm welcome to the Marriott this morning. I look forward to visiting again soon!
