  As a perennial skeptic about hotels, their services, and the oft mediocre food I must say that this Marriott exceeded expectations by miles.   We enjoyed a set of drinks at the pool bar and were entertained by Jason who is a paragon of mixology. Second, we made a special request for a "picnic basket" lunch to take to the beach on Independence Day in Newport!  Jillian Ford exceeded our expectations by accommodating requests for BLTs, fruit and drinks in a form we could transport in a cooler!  As we travel often, other Marriott hotels will struggle to meet the bar these people have set to achieve a level of service that merits a hotel "Michelin Star!"

  In Providence for a hockey tourney (of course).  This was the only place we could get a last minute reservation.
  
  Overall, service was slow, the food was not so good, and the prices were high Vs the value.
  
  We had:
  Caesar Salad - big enough for three to share. Needed a lot of pepper.
  
  3 dinners:
  Sword fish. Way over cooked
  Steak fritz - the steak was great, but the grits were
  Just roasted fingerling potatoes
  Duck special - WAY over cooked.
  
  All this for $99 plus tip. No alcohol or drinks other than water.  
  
  I suggest waiting for a table at another place.

  I'm a typically a fan of Marriott restaurants but this one had extremely slow service and mediocre food.  It was soo slow I didn't want to send back my overcooked burger.
  
  I had dinner the first night in the restaurant the Bluefin and service was extremely slow. I started with a cup of clam chowder which was very tasty and ordered a burger with fries. I requested the burger medium rare, it came out well done so it was a tad dry and didn't have a lot of flavor.
  
  The waitress took forever to replace my water and due to the wait I decided to pass on dessert and just headed back to the room.
  
  Unfortunately this is not a restaurant that I would recommend, and actually I probably would never go back to this hotel either unless it was updated.

  Bluefin is a perfectly adequate hotel restaurant located in the Marriott.  It is pretty spacious and there was ample open seating when I stopped in.  My server was pretty friendly and the food came out surprisingly quickly.
  My clam chowder was rather bland. The clams were a little gritty and the veggies were super well done.  Overall it was a sad clam chowder being that we are in Rhode Island.  My salmon was decent, but nothing memorable.  It was served with some pretty terrible beans/rice type dish.  I don't even know what it was, but it sucked!  Also, sticking with the theme of indifference, the bread was simply two cold butt ends of a loaf. Nothing about the meal was beyond what I would expect at Red Lobster in any city, much less Providence.  
  I wasn't expecting too much, so I wasn't let down.  I was happy to just have a quick dinner at my hotel after a long day of travel.  If you are looking for a great seafood dinner the I suggest you look elsewhere.

  This is a restaurant located within the marriot hotel. Came here for dinner with some friends. The crab cakes were fantastic, lots of crab and flavor. You can skip out on the calamari because it was small and nothing to call home about. The table had a combination of scallops with different sauces. You can get the scallops cooked a various amount of ways, we had blackened and pan seared. Loved both! The scallops were HUGE. The lobster butter sauce was great, went well with the garlic spinach. Now when you order the side, it's a small portion so if you're hungry order another. The drinks are good, just make sure when reading cocktail menu and if the drink has "vodka" in it, please request the type of vodka. Otherwise it will taste like well vodka and I cannot drink well vodka. It makes me sick. Would I come here again for dinner? If I was staying at the hotel, yes. But there are better seafood places.
  
  We came here in the morning for breakfast. They had an omelette station and all the fixings for breakfast. Eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, fruits, bagels, salmon, breakfast pastries. It was good but there are other breakfast places to go to. I only came here since I was in a time crunch and staying at the hotel.
