    For my wife's birthday, she wanted to go to this restaurant. I am a vegetarian, so I already had reservations about it. But I told her that I would eat a piece of steak (ribeye) with her. The presentation of the meat was amazing. But upon tasting it it was extremely tough and overly salted. We also overheard other patrons saying the same thing about the salt content within their food. This is the first time that we've ever been here. And probably will be the last time we shall be going there. If you're going to pay this much for food it at least needs to be consumable, because right now that ribeye is sitting in my hotel's refrigerator not being touched because it was unpleasant to eat.

    The food was good, and our waiter was nice. However, he wasn't as attentive as he should have been. He didn't offer another round of drinks (I had to ask), and our water glasses weren't filled as often as they should have been.The music was also a little too loud. It was hard to have a conversation.

    Food was AMAZING! From the second you walk into the restaurant, you can feel the ENERGY. From the Hostess to our Server... they were professional, engaging, and friendly. The music and lighting set the ambiance. All of the customers looked to be having a great time. Must try the Fried Rice and Peas dish! Every dish we ordered were perfectly seasoned and delicious! The signature cocktails were on point and we finished with the night with a tasty dessert. Dinner Reservations are hard to come by since the Maroon is always full. Worth the Experience Steve A

    We have been wanting to come for a while. I usually wait a while after a restaurant opens to let them iron out their issues. We did wait a while to get in. We had a reservation. No bars to grab drinks while you're waiting, either. Once we got in, we were not greeted for quite some time. Half the restaurant was empty, which was odd considering there were a lot of people waiting outside with reservations. Everyone was complaining about the wait. We've been to the location many times as Bazaar. Maroon did an amazing job with revamping the place. I think it looks a million times better than it did. It's very dark and moody with great music. We loved the ambiance in general. The service was awful. Our waiter was seemlingly stressed. We hurried and ordered our entire meal because we had a babysitter and didn't want to be home late after the wait we'd already experienced. They brought out all of the dishes in a timely manner, but the waiter was just very slow to come around for anything we needed. My husband asked for another glass of wine, and he walked off while my husband was still talking to him. Even the sommelier was rude; I'm assuming she was the sommelier. She was walking around, pouring wine, and we said "hello". No response, didn't even look at us and walked away. The food itself was fantastic. Everything we had was outstanding. Especially the NY strip and the jerk chicken. Some of the best chicken I've had in a restaurant. I eat a lot of chicken, and it was perfectly cooked and very tender. We had a lot of amazing jerk in Jamaica, but this was 10x better than everything we had in Jamaica. This was our 10-year wedding anniversary. We've been to Bazaar so many times for our anniversaries, and it's amazing what they do for us. We even had a waiter whose personal cell we've had for 5 years. He's always gotten us in when we want and even treated many visitors we've sent his way. He always goes above and beyond for our visits. He throws in free food, and they alwa

    I visited Maroon by Chef Kwame Onwuachi on November 4, 2026, to celebrate my birthday with a solo dinner date. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the worst birthday dining experiences I've ever had. My reservation was for 7:30 PM, but I arrived a little early, around 6:45 PM. When I checked in, I was told there was a table available at the bar and that I would still receive the same dining experience. I decided to take the seat. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing from the start. One of the bar attendants dropped off a menu, but it took quite a while for someone to come back and take my order. After placing my order, I experienced another lengthy wait before receiving my food. Even after finishing my meal, I had to wait even longer for the complimentary birthday dessert. To make matters worse, this was a slow night at the restaurant, yet the service was still incredibly slow. I did not leave the restaurant until 8:50 PM. Considering the lack of business that evening, I found the excessive wait times even more unacceptable. And honestly, the dessert was another disappointment. After waiting all that time, I was presented with a rum cake. Nothing particularly special or impressive. I couldn't believe I had waited that long for it. I was expecting something amazing, especially considering it was my birthday. What should have been an enjoyable and memorable birthday celebration turned into a frustrating experience filled with excessive wait times and poor customer service. I never felt acknowledged, appreciated, or special. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better service, hospitality, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below my expectations. I would not return. Overall, extremely disappointing. I came to celebrate my birthday and left feeling like just another customer. Without a doubt, one of the worst birthday dining experiences I've ever had.
