staying here at the renaissance, so we decided to have the brunch here at ENVY...\n\nbeing an platinum elite member, i've been around a lot of different marriott properties, and have eaten at a lot of their on-campus restaurants. this is average at best, and service was it's down fall.\n\ni had the buffet, the food as above average, aside from the lamb from the carving station was very tough, and served without mint jelly. the oysters were watery, the crab legs was salty. but the eggs benedict was surprisingly well done for a buffet and the omelet station had a wide range of ingredients and was very fast and efficient, which is rare for a sunday at 11am. my girlfriend (who is running the rock n roll marathon this afternoon), decided not to the buffet, and ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with roasted tomato soup instead. the soup was a little cup of earthy goodness, while the grilled cheese was uninspiring. the bread was average, the cheeses was bland, and not completely melted through. it was bland. she only ate half of it...\n\nthe service was slow and inattentive. after we sat down, and notifying the server that my girlfriend didn't want the brunch, would rather order from the menu, i was already to the buffet once and back before he came back to take the order. water was not refilled regularly, my mimosa was not refilled at all. we had to ask the floor manager for the check because our server was no where to be found... the unavailable service was not limited to our server, the busing of the used plates was slow (and mind you, it was a brunch buffet), and there was a period of time no one was manning the carving station, instead he was back and forth bringing food out from the kitchen.\n\nall in all? not an envious dining experience. especially for a renaissance (a supposedly boutique brand of the marriott brand).... so if you are reading this, i envy you for not have yet eaten at this place. go else where and thank me later.
