Tandem Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Virginia

We ate here for Breakfast and Dinner. First weekend in august of ‘22. The bagel sandwiches were barley warm and the sausage was bland. The croissant was cold. But we got our food quickly. The buffet is the way to go. Dinner was decent enough. Prices are okay. Tables are almost always full. Haven’t had to wait though. Staff is neglecting. We found what we wanted to order fairly quickly and they didn’t come around for a long time. Our drinks were made and never brought to us. We had to go up and get them ourselves at the bar after waiting 10 minutes. (Our server still haven’t returned.) he filled a couples glass of water at the table adjacent to ours.

I ordered the Cheddar Bacon Burger w/o the cheese. It came with steak fries. The burger was delicious, Especially considering its hotel food. It was cooked right. Fries came warm, not pipping hot.

The bar is using canned sodas, and doesn’t have any sinks. Needed the bathroom, had to walk halfway back to the room practically. Alas, I would NOT recommend unless you’re tired and don’t feel like going out. If that’s the case, it’s not like you have options. $72 for two people to...

Renovation Review

Food was better than average which was surprising being a hotel restaurant. The asparagus was done perfectly. Then again there was no condiments on our table or steak knife for that matter.

Watched my martini get warm sitting on the bar, finally got up and got our drinks myself.

Very little selection on the menu, would have greatly enjoyed an appetizer with another martini.

End of the day, small space, not many tables and the service was slow at best.

Going to try the breakfast...

I ate twice at the Tandem Restaurant and Bar for dinner as there are not many restaurants within walking distance from the Marriott and I did not feel like driving. The waiters were great and fairly prompt in getting our orders and dishes to the table. The food was just ok, I had the hamburger which was tasteless and I don't recommend. I had a pizza another night and that was good, not great but a good choice at the Tandem. I had a Cesar Salad both nights and both salads were very good so I...
