We sat at an outer table and weren't noticed at all. After 20 min, as a place in the lower area opened up, we moved and were promptly greeted by waitstaff. Food was excellent (but very pricey and only one vegetarian option) and the drinks were strong. As the crowd increased, service declined, and it took a while to get our 2nd drink and our check. Once the decibels got above rock concert level, we were ready to go! Friday night crowd was very loud for a 5 star hotel lobby bar.

Very loud. Food was okay, but I do appreciate the gesture of making it special for my mom. They did misspell her name however. Food was okay, expected more for a vegan tea party. But it was okay. Tea was good. Felt rushed to leave. I don't think the experience is worth the price considering how loud, rushed, and disappointing the food was.

So so dissapointed with the food and the ambiance. I've attended teddy bear tea at another Ritz since I was a child and for many years with my daughter. First time here and it was not christmassy, not magical, food was actually gross, it was nothing like we're used to and very few tables. Not special at all. Service was of course great but overall would not attend again here which is so sad.
This was our 5th Santa tea. Always enjoyable. Very disappointing that they charged the adult price for kids this year. Not surprising that there were empty tables this year when usually it's booked.

The Teddy Bear Tea is a special Christmas experience and just delightful. My granddaughters enjoyed the entire event and loved meeting Santa, visiting the gingerbread house and chocolate nutcrackers.

Mitch the bartender is AMAZING!!! He doesn’t miss a beat and his drinks were precise and perfect! They have a very interesting menu. We ordered Steamed pork gyoza, a wonton in a shiitake mushroom broth with lemongrass, mushroom crisps and cabbage slaw. We also ordered the Crispy Chicken, brined in chamomile and citron this was very good! Both apps were excellent! Our martinis were perfection! We can’t wait to go back!

Was blown away!! The bar was slammed and Rebecca the bartender was so efficient that she still was able to manage the time to craft me two amazing drinks! Her hospitality was by far amazing! The manager Jessica was very attentive to myself and the other guests to ensure we all were being taken care of. I will definitely return for the great drinks and hospitality

Beautiful bar to enjoy some drinks! We love it. Service was amazing and the drinks outstanding. Lorena was amazing!

The bar closed early due to this short, blonde, male manager even though there were about 100 people from an event still ready to spend more money. Everyone here spent lots of money to be here for a weekend convention and nobody was overly drunk or breaking anything so it was very uncalled for to get mad and close the bar. Real "little man" energy. Update* his name was Jacob Crowl.
Lobby bar in the World center Marriott. Very good bartenders and great small plates. The sushi is amazing. It is pricy though.

Top notch service and high quality cocktails, just as you would expect front and center at a five star hotel.ProTip: while the food menu is limited, most options are quite good including the wings, oysters, shrimp plate and flatbread, but we wouldn't recommend the croquettes.

Beautiful lounge area. We love this bar in the middle of the lobby. They offer a beautiful and tasty charcuterie board and the world's best Earl gray Martini! That's really what I keep coming back for, is that wonderful Marti! ?

Good food, service can be lousy, but Monroe is super cool! Live performances are always a treat.
