We went for a romantic Valentine’s Dinner, which was also our engagement night, while staying for the week at the JW Marriott Marco Beach. Dinner started fine, short wait where we had a drink at the bar, seated in the main room. They had a violinist playing contemporary music and good atmosphere. We had the beef tartare and scallops for appetizers- both amazing! We both ordered steaks - hers’s the bone in ribeye and mine the wagyu strip loin. Both were done sous vide, finished on the grill. The rib eye was fine but not what we expected. The striploin looked great, a nice thick strip with great presentation, however tasted marinated, not a good taste for striploin and I sent it back (I never do that). We expected more from a Marriott steakhouse. While the night was fun with a couple nice touches like a rose and gift chocolates upon leaving, the service was slow. Hope just an off night but not a repeat for us.

Awesome place, but steaks were not cooked properly (no excuse really, in a pricey steakhouse) but server was nice and compensated with free desserts after telling us they were cooked properly according to our orders. I'm sure we could have sent them back had we pushed it.

Beautiful restaurant at the resort, but we got stuck in the back room where it was rather stale. His guest of the resort paying a lot of money for eight nights I would’ve expected a better seat in Service food was very good however

Ario was awesome, from the ambience, to the service, and the food and drink options, everything was spectacular. They also did a unique and fun birthday presentation that made the experience even better. Highly recommend.
