    Great food and service! Whipped feta dip with fresh bread is out of this world, and the rest of the meal from appetizer to entree was similarly delicious. Can't wait to come back!

    Plough has really nice creative menu with really good food and really good service that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I am a lifetime platinum Marriott Bonvoy member and I have stayed in lots of hotels. This restaurant is at a higher level than most of the more institutional offerings at other hotels, including many Marriotts. The open kitchen is also very cool.

    I understand that last night was very busy, but it seemed to me that the restaurant was understaffed considering a large conference was in attendance at the hotel. We waited for over 80 minutes from the time our entrees arrived from our reservation time. We also waited 20 plus minutes for a drink service, which was a draft beer. A manager did comp. one of those drinks but in general we thought that our service was less than stellar. Once I questioned our server about the lengthly drink service, she became uninterested with us, not even checking in on us once our entrees arrived. She did present us with a desert menu. The food was excellent, but the service just left a bad taste in our mouths.
