I'm a little late in getting this review posted. Our dining experience was in December, 2017. Our family visits us here in Arizona every year and this year they stayed at the Marriott over Christmas and we always dine at the hotel's featured restaurant and our December, 2017 family dinner was held at Roy's Restaurant at the Marriott Desert Ridge. I wanted to give accolades to the nice young man PJ at the host station upfront. We did some last minute shuffling when we arrived which he managed with nothing but professionalism and a smile even though they were clearly very busy so a big shout out to him for making our experience positive from the very start! Our dinner, service from the server and assistant was very good considering we had a large party of adults and children and again, they were busy, busy the night we were there. Food was excellent as expected, everyone at the table was pleased. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was because our primary server was a bit harsh and hard on the person assisting him, openly barking orders to the assistant while he spent a lot of time standing around not doing a whole heck of a lot. The primary server seems to have it made here with their assistant's doing all the running around and harder work tending to the tables. I hope they are generous when tip sharing as the assistant did much more for the table than the primary server. Before we even completed dessert, we all agreed that even if the family didn't stay at the Marriott this next year, we'd all be returning for our annual holiday dinner at Roy's as it truly was a stress free, enjoyable night for us all!
