"I frequently stay at this Marriott or the nearby Courtyard for work and have dined at nearly every restaurant in the Rio Washingtonian area. Without a doubt, this is my favorite spot. I never considered eating here until my staff recommended it, and I regret spending time at some of the average chain restaurants nearby when I could have been enjoying this place! The veggie burger is absolutely delicious—make sure to get it on the brioche bun. I also love the quinoa superfood salad, and the flatbreads are surprisingly tasty as well. My colleagues rave about the crab cake sandwich, which looks incredibly appetizing. The selection of beer and wine is quite impressive for a small hotel bar. The only item I wouldn't recommend is the apple crumble dessert, which didn't impress me. The service is exceptional, especially when you sit at the bar; it’s also been good at the tables, though a bit slower. There’s a fantastic bartender who is incredibly friendly and provides top-notch service. I really believe this restaurant is an overlooked gem in the area! Give it a try!"
