    It was our first time checking out blue and it had such a great vibe. It was a girls night out and we shared appetizers and entrées. Everything was wonderful. I thought the bottles of wine were well priced. I didn’t have any cocktails, but definitely next time.

    We have stayed at Marriott several times and have enjoyed having a few drinks and tapas at the bar. This time we were in a hurry and a little reluctant as some reviews complained about the service. We were treated immediately and seated where we ordered our wine. We had a salad, the mahi and a desert with coffee. All in plenty of time to make the show. Food was great, our waitress was very, very attentive and all of staff was very friendly. Nice and quite
