Good bar food, cold beers, and the staff is pretty cool too. It's at Midway Bowling Alley, so you know they have a White Russian.

This was one of the few places that was open, so came here for food. The ambiance is nice but old. This was a swanky place in the 00's but the times have changed. Not too far off from modern styles but not bad. Server was very kind, let me peruse the breakfast buffett and decide on my meal options. The buffett was very standard, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bacon, assorted pastries, you know the drill. I looked through their menu and asked if they could do a French toast. They said it was on the menu and it wasn't. I then took a gamble. I told them to warm up some bananas and brown sugar and place that as a sauce on top of the French toast. Essentially trying to force them to make a impromptu bananas foster type French toast They tried, and the results were pretty good! They didn't actually warm up the bananas and brown sugar. Instead they warmed up the bananas and sprinkled brown sugar over the dish. They did add extra cinnamon so they mostly got it right. Then they put warm maple syrup on the base and put the French toast on it Although execution wise it was a slip, the flavors were all there. The French toast was custardy and cinnamon forward with the brown sugar, warmed banana, and maple syrup made for a great sweet bite. Price was 14 with the add-ons (not pictured is a very large bowl of vanilla ice cream. Little too big to add into pictures) which also included orange juice, coffee, and a side fruit. You get your money's worth for sure. Overall, a pretty successful gamble. Not the best breakfast fare but they go above and beyond for the customer.

The atmosphere, the food and the staff at the Rendezvous are excellent. To add to the atmosphere was the music which I learned was actually streaming the bartenders iPod via Pandora Internet radio. This was music to my ears (pun intended). I believe that the good music can be as important as pairing wine or drinks with food and Ashley had it dialed in. While at the bar I ordered a Kettle One Martini with a lemon twist. The drink was delivered and look liked any other martini but then I took a drink. The martini was very smooth and the lemon twist was incredible. In fact it may have been the best Martini I ever had. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, great service and possibly the best Martini's you'll ever have then make it a point to visit Ashley at the Rendezvous lounge. I should mention something about the food since I did eat 3 meals there. Of course the Martini's were a big draw but the food is equally good. Over the 3 nights that I dined at the Rendezvous Lounge I had roasted pears and Brie Quesadilla, Wedge Salad with thick cut bacon, Chesapeake Blue Crab Bisque, Central Market Salad with goat cheese and cranberries and their seared tuna. All of which were presented nicely and tasted wonderful. I recommend any of these small plates depending on what your in the mood for. I look forward to my return visit to the Marriott at Penn Square and the Rendezvous Lounge. I hope to hear Pandora, see Ashley and enjoy some of the other fabulous creations at the Rendezvous.

I really would had liked the nachos to been warmer with cheese melted and the buns I didn't care for the pickles I think marinated jalapeños would've been better. The service was great. They checked in us several times to pickup glasses or dishes and see if we needed anything else. The only bad thing I felt was a man sitting opposite of us who kept glaring at us. I noticed him soon as we walked in through the door. He had a look of disgust seeing us. As if we owed him a lot of money!! So as he glared we enjoyed our night!

Nice menu and lots of good daily specials. Since we were here for the wings, I ordered only 6 jumbo wings. They were large! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of large or jumbo wings, but I wanted to try them anyway because they were highly recommended. Let me tell you these were awesome! The flavor of the wings and the sauces were great. It wasn't busy, and the cook came out, so I asked him why they tasted so good. He told me they broast the wings, they do not put them in a deep fryer. That explains the super savory chicken. Definitely coming back for more wings and to try some of the menu items. There is a stage, pool tables, shuffleboard, and a jukebox, and it seems like this place rocks out on the weekends with bands and sometimes during the week with karaoke and other events.

This place has the feel of a true Sports Bar, with several TV's above the bar. Not like our former place, where you have to break your neck to watch whatever is on behind you, which is usually Impractical Jokers, which is stupid. Our drinks were ice cold, and stronger than our old place. That makes me wonder if the old place waters down their alcohol, since I've heard others say it too. But would definitely recommend if you don't have any issues with a diverse crowd. Other than the TouchTunes blocking certain artists from being played, this place is cool.

Then you open the menu and realize there is a surprisingly large Hawaiian themed food selection. It is not really a restaurant, though. It feels like a bar first, with a better than expected food program, not the other way around. The bar service was excellent. I ordered a Sazerac, and they served it with the absinthe on the side so you can add it to taste. That is a small detail, but it shows care and attention, and it made for a great drink. Service overall was friendly and prompt. Even though it is clearly a bar, it is also calm enough during certain hours that you could do some work or have a low key meeting. I would not try that during peak drinking hours. I am not sure of the exact hours, but it seems like more of a late day or evening spot than a lunch stop.
