This restaurant is in the Trenton Marriott. It was TERRIBLE! Both their lunch buffets and their sandwiches with fries from the menu reminded me of hospital cafeterias! The smell was also awful in the buffet line. Their salad toppings were good in number and fresh and that’s the only positive! They also had a veggie balsamic wrap that had no taste.
The service was also horrendous and it took us about 20 minutes to get MENUS.
He was friendly but they were WAY understaffed– I mean if their food isn’t good, make sure the service is.
The other slight plus was the desserts that they brought in from somewhere else (sure of it) was tasty. That made the buffet line worth it as well.

The food was good. I had their salmon dish topped by a mustard vinagrette with a side of potatoes, stringbeans and tomatoes. The portion size was fair. My wife ordered a pasta dish in a cream sauce with peas, and carmelized onions. The portion was generous – very filling. She liked it. The service was slow and not very attentive. They serve wine by the glass and you order it by the varietal. Careful here, they burn you on the price. My wife ordered the house chardonnay and it costed $ 11.00. My pinot noir was closer to reality at $ 6.00. I didn’t care for the fact tha they automatically tacked on an 18% tip. We were a party of three so I didn’t see the need for doing so.
Anyway, if you stay at the hotel, this is in the Trenton Marriott Downtown, the convenience can’t be beat. The food was good. Be careful with the drinks if you’re on a budget. And don’t worrry about calculating the tip they’ll do that for you. As to the wait, bring a book – War and Peace.
