Tavolo 24 — Restaurant in Seoul

May be my review could not be so accurate because the Restaurant, Tavolo 24, is popular for the Korean buffet but I could not experience it because it was closed due to COVID-19.

For dinner, I had inroom dining with LA ribs from Tavolo 24, along with Aglio e Olio pasta and Fish&Chips.

The dishes, very frankly speaking, were very disappointing and even frustrating. Especially for LA ribs, a quarter portion of it was fat. Last week I had same menu in Courtyard Marriott Times Square but I should say the taste of Courtyard was super better than that of JW.

The Fish&Chips? Only Potato Chips were good. But thick fried Fish inside were rare and could not eat..(As matter of fact, it was the first time in my Marriott's dining history over hundreds..)

Aglio e Olio pasta? I would not like to mention..

May be, my unmet expectation and feeling of disappointment was due to COVID-19 situation because many properties and hospitality industry are sufferring serious financial problem should cut operating costs. So, I will have a chance to stay in this property again some day...

Stayed at JW Marriott Dondaemun Square for 10 days. Every morning we enjoyed buffet breakfast at Tavolo restaurant offering a vast Korean, European, Asian, and American culinary delites. Even though a self service buffet, the restaurant staff saw to our every needs and comfort.One standout crew member, is Sophia. She is exceptional in hospitality. Every morning greeted us with her warm smile and greeting. When Sophia noted that we had a cough, she brought over a pot of hot water served with honey and lemon slices. Cough was gone by and of day. The food and beverage manager, Para Kim, is also a notable standout for providing excellent service.All professional front desk staff very helpful with information on hotel, getting around in the city, and interesting places to visit.JW Marriott made us feel like the Dondaemun Square address is our home...

This restaurant is located inside JW Marriott Hotel in Dongdaemoon. The ambience is nice--fairly quiet and has dim lighting. I thought the service was pretty good, and the food overall was good. I especially enjoyed their wonderful selection of desserts and grilled lamb chops. But I have to say that I was not so impressed with their sushi, sashimi, and fried rice, which are my favorites! The assorted sushi didn't taste too fresh as well as the sashimi. It was odd that they didn't have ginger and rakkyo, which are common side dishes. And, the fried rice was a bit hard for my liking. The price is quite expensive for dinner like most hotel buffet restaurants. For two adults, it was around ₩200k, and kids under 35 months are free. Compared to our favorite buffet restaurant at Shilla Hotel, this place...
