We
were
staying
at
the
Marriott
Marquis
in
Chicago
for
the
SHRM
2018
conference.
We
arrived
late
Friday
and
wanted
an
easy
meal,
so
we
went
for
the
on-location
restaurant.
I
normally
don't
have
high
expectations
for
hotel
restaurants,
and
for
the
most
part,
these
expectations
were
accurate.
We
ate
here
for
both
dinner
and
breakfast,
and
I'd
definitely
recommend
dinner
between
those
two
experiences.
You
can
find
great
breakfasts
for
cheaper,
elsewhere.
It
started
off
with
drinks
and
appetizers.
The
waitress
proudly
stated
that
this
was
a
full
bar
and
that
"whatever
[we'd]
want,
[they'd]
have
it"
for
us.
I
asked
for
a
white
Russian
and
my
husband
asked
for
tequila,
straight
up.
They
didn't
have
cream,
or
any
of
the
brands
he
requested
for
tequila,
lol.
Not
a
big
deal
to
us,
but
we
just
found
it
funny.
I
ended
up
getting
their
Copacobana
cocktail
and
my
husband
some
other
tequila.
The
cocktail
was
pretty,
but
I
just
wasn't
a
fan.
It
was
strangely
bitter.
For
our
appetizer,
we
chose
the
Artisan
Rolls
with
bacon
butter
&
honey
butter
(not
pictured).
These
were
underwhelming
and
not
worth
the
price.
The
butter
was
pretty
much
frozen
solid
and
hard
to
spread.
The
bread
was
twisted
in
an
artistic
fashion,
but
that
was
about
it.
The
meals
were
actually
pleasantly
surprising.
My
husband
ordered
the
Braised
Pork
Shank
(pancetta,
stewed
white
beans,
grilled
chicory,
pepita
gremolata).
He
found
it
to
be
pretty
good,
and
a
good
serving
size.
He
was
pretty
full
by
the
end
of
it.
However,
we
both
really
enjoyed
my
dish
-
Braised
Rabbit
Pappardelle
Pasta
(koval
bourbon
cream,
mushrooms,
parmigiano
reggianno).
This
was
just
wonderful!
It
is
a
heavy
dish
with
the
cream
sauce,
but
the
rabbit
was
lovely,
soft,
and
succulent,
and
it
really
hit
the
spot.
I
definitely
recommend
ordering
this
dish
if
you're
okay
with
the
idea
of
eating
rabbit.
~~~
Breakfast.
We
later
returned
to
try
their
breakfast.
Their
costs
were
ridiculously
high.
They
had
a
buffet
option,
but
we
took
a
peek
in
the
room
and
unless
you
really
went
to
town,
you
were
not
going
to
eat
your
money's
worth.
We
ended
up
going
with
the
actual
menu
items,
as
they
were
cheaper
than
the
buffet.
I
ordered
classic
pancakes.
My
husband
ordered
the
Wisconsin
Cheddar
Broken
Yolk
Sandwich
(noble
star
ranch
bacon,
avocado,
tomato,
aioli,
sourdough,
side
of
fruit).
Both
were
good,
but
these
two
dishes
+
2
regular
coffees
costs
us
$47.95.
That
much
for
breakfast
is
just
absurd.
In
all
honesty,
I'd
say
this
is
an
okay
experience
(3
stars),
with
an
exception
of
the
rabbit
parpadelle
(a
solid
4
by
itself).
It's
not
memorable,
and
you're
in
Chicago!
Be
adventurous
and
take
an
uber/lyft
to
downtown
-
there
are
so
many
other
amazing
restaurants.
It's
a
shame
we
wasted
two
meals
here
for
convenience.
