I simply found the quality of the food to be bad, especially the meats. Different people have different preferences but I honestly could not be paid money to eat it again. YMMV. IMO the JW Marriott Essex House is not really a luxury hotel (even by NYC standards) but I found the breakfast to be bad by any metric. I highly doubt they used qualify/fresh ingredients. Compared to the St. Regis breakfast, it is much much much worse. It’s honestly worse than what you’ll find at a food cart for $6 IMO
