B55 - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was largely negative, primarily due to the exorbitant price of a single drink and the dismissive attitude of the manager. I ordered a McAllen 12 yr drink, which cost an astonishing $40. 00. I later discovered that a comparable drink at the View bar and restaurant, which overlooks the city, was priced at $25. 00. When I approached the front manager to address this discrepancy, I was met with a lack of understanding. She stated that different Scotches have different prices, but I pointed out that there is only one McAllen 12 year. Her response was that the restaurant sets its own pricing, and she didn't seem to care about my concern. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson: always ask for the price before ordering. I will not be returning to this establishment to eat or drink again.

My experience at the restaurant for breakfast was unfortunately a disappointment. While the service was excellent and the atmosphere was great (rated 5/5), the food was quite uninspired and mostly "basic. " It reminded me of an average college cafeteria in terms of quality and blandness. The coffee was also very mediocre. However, there were a few stand-out items that I appreciated: the overnight oats were spot on, the fruit was quite good, and the steamed bao were excellent. For $55, I expect better quality food, especially when compared to what a $35 meal might offer.

My experience at this restaurant, located within a hotel, was marked by high prices due to its location. However, the food was good and the service was quick, all within a nice environment. I would recommend the steak salad.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the terrible service. After pointing out errors in both our drinks and dinners, the waiter became argumentative. To make matters worse, he refused to split the bill and then condescendingly asked where we were from. I strongly advise others to avoid this place, as we will certainly never return.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had a great meal with lovely servers. The brown rice was particularly fantastic. It's a good place to eat at the hotel.

I recently experienced the $39 breakfast buffet and was very disappointed. The pancakes were so hard in spots that I could not cut through them with a knife. The potatoes were purple inside and tasted very strange; I stopped eating them after one bite. The bagel lacked the usual chewy texture, resembling a molded loaf of bread. Compared to the amazing free continental breakfast at Holiday Inn, this experience has diminished my opinion of Marriott.

I would advise against coming with a group larger than five people. The waiters struggled to remember our orders, leading to receiving incorrect items or not getting what we wanted at all. While the food was good (rated 4/5), the service aspect significantly impacted the experience.

My experience at The View was highly positive, especially regarding the food. A server at The View lounge on the 39th floor recommended the burger, and they were 💯 right. The burger was flavorful, complemented by a crunchy yet soft bun and a perfectly balanced jalapeño aioli. We also had the Bavarian soft pretzel as an appetizer, which arrived hot with incredibly good beer cheese. While the restaurant's interior is basic and self-seating, and the noise level is HIGH, the food quality makes it a place I'd return to if I'm back at the Marriott.

My experience at this restaurant featured professional and courteous bartenders. While the price for a drink is high, I found it to be worth it.

I dropped into B55 while staying at the Marriott Marquis. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. However, I wish I had checked the prices before ordering. A chicken sandwich for $26 and a beer for $22 felt excessive. The sandwich was okay, but ultimately not worth the price.
