The Bench

"I had the Thanksgiving buffet at the Washingtonian Marriott with some dear friends and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent and plentiful and the restaurant team was very pleasant and accommodating. We left with a very positive feeling and look forward to coming back!"

"Go get the cauliflower during happy hour. For $10. It was really good. The drinks were good too. Food looked good but lacked flavor. The mushroom pasta did not have salt and the salt shaker spits out salt one grain at a time which was sad. The dessert options were limited too and the chocolate cake was dry. Staff was short on resources (one server and one at the bar) at times when there may be too many people. But they were very helpful, understanding and provided good service."

"So you come up to the counter and order breakfast, but nobody tells you this. The young lady struggles to understand you so English is not her language. The menu is bland and so was the food. Pre-pandemic it was the best breakfast now one of the worse. Small fruit cups overcooked eggs and tasteless sausage. Some lady was yelling NO MILk because the help doesn't understand. No avocado. No egg whites. Heck might as well say no service and go home."

"Loved happy hour. Even though their menu for food is small, it's fulfilling. And their peach pie was delicious!"

"Recently went for the happy hour and with the discount the prices are decent. The flat breads are good, but the pig and fig had so many toppings it was a bit soggy. The egg rolls and pretzels were great. The service was attentive and quick. The prices for their entrees is a bit steep, but try the happy hour. It seems they are still working out their hours etc. Brought friends to try the happy hour on Sunday, and the restaurant was completely closed. I inquired and the front desk says they are always closed on Sunday, even though all their signage says otherwise."
