The service is very quick, efficient, and friendly. However, the food is overpriced and not worth the money. I will say the fries are AMAZING. I ordered the Hot & Sweet Chicken Sandwich for $17, and it was extremely sweet to the point of being inedible. The chicken was juicy, albeit flavorless and sticky with the sweet sauce. This sandwich is also not "Hot" at all, although the title suggests otherwise.

I am staying at the hotel and didn't feel like leaving for dinner. So, o walked down through the beautiful lobby to grab some dinner to take to my room. I ordered an extra dirty martini and he made it extra dry. He realized it when I asked for the olives. He then made me another drink. I preserved the steak with Mac and cheese and seasoned veggies. The steak was supposed to be rare. It was medium well. I was too tired to complain when I got up to my room. There was a mushroom sauce on it which had a good flavor. Steak was very average and so overcooked. Steamed veggies were broccolini and carrots. I thought these were delicious. The Mac and cheese was good but not great. All in all, not worth $50. The restaurant is very bright and not very intimate compared to the rest of the hotel.

Great service and food. Menu has limited choices but all have great ingredients to make it hard to choose. I selected the burger which was cooked to order and had an amazing jam on it that added sweetness. Thick patty and very fresh bun. Fries were fantastic! Neighbor had fish tacos that looked amazing.

The breakfast here is dynamite.I had low expectations - the restaurant was completely empty at 10:30am. They’re also not offering room service or lunch right now. I thought maybe they’re cutting costs. Wrong!I had a chicken and waffle and coffee. The chicken was very good and seemed to be freshly cooked to order. The waffle was exceptional. And I love waffles.If you are staying at the hotel definitely try it out.

Flew into Raleigh for a funeral. Stayed at the StateView Hotel. Visited the hotel bar Flask and Beaker that evening and wow! What a great experience. Jayona is an excellent mixologist, she clearly knows what she is doing, with wonderful customer service. The bar was hopping and she attended to everyone’s request with patience and a smile. Will definitely visit again!

The food we ordered was very good but several things on the menu are not available. Our server made up for the slim menu choices. Nice atmosphere for casual or formal dining.

Nice place.Here for dinner, a limited menu but I was hoping that it meant they were really good at what they did make. Well I wasn't disappointed, Sweet&spicy chicken sandwich had great flavor and a great crisp to it and the side of mac & cheese was creamy with the right thickness of cheese sauce.

Delicious! Expected more flavor by reading the reviews but it was a nice brunch spot.

As a platinum Marriott Bonvoy member I do breakfasts at many of the Marriott hotels but this one in particular has the worst breakfast hostess and wait staff. They are rude and don't seem to understand what good service looks like. The food itself is great though.Back here this morning and more of the same.... Been waiting 30 mins for someone to take our drink order.... This is crazy. The folks that were seated before us just gave up and walked out.This restaurant is only at half capacity. The hostess is not meeting people at the front and instead yelling at them across the dining room to come over. Also they add a 20% service charge on the tab automatically here..... to me this is probably the reason for bad service.... There is no incentive to do well b/c the tip is already in the bill.

Replaced a drink, but charged for two. Food was edible. Service wasn't great.
