I was close. You can get a TLT (turkey) delivered to your room at the Oakland Marriott. Not sure about the old Adam Sandler movies on pay-per-view. https://www.marriott.com/hotelwebsit..._Menu_2018.pdf

That menu is available for 45 minutes each evening. :D and, it is a TBLAT.

I was curious what Heidi had to say. I didn't know it would be Heidi, but here goes:

Having just come from a conference at the conference center attached to the hotel, we spent three days eating at Iron & Oak. Bottom line, when the food is good, it's really good and when it's bad, well.... It was an overall inconsistent experience. The steak tacos when eaten in the restaurant, were delicious! When ordered from room service, not so hot, but still better than the grilled cheese, which was horribly under toasted and totally cold. Yuck. The fish and chips were yummy and I so wanted to love the burgers. My husband's was quite good, but mine was a charred hockey puck. So disappointed! The blue cheese sauce is outstanding. How do you balance out your experience? Order Kiwan's tropical martini!!! It is not overly sweet in spite of containing pineapple juice, peach schnapps and simple syrup and it is one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time! Don't leave without trying one!

And then there's Brad, who either ate too much, or didn't order correctly.

Stay away. The food was worse than mediocre. It was severely overpriced. The service was spotty at best. This is probably the biggest waste of $200 I've ever spent. Save yourself your money, time and tastebuds.

How did Brad manage to spend $200 at the Oakland Marriott’s restaurant?

So this is all in good fun but let’s keep the topic at hand
 
Focusing on good restaurants the OP might enjoy should be the focus of this thread – thanks!

Will do. Our joking about hotel food is to emphasize how Oakland has so many great dining and entertainment options.

New Top 100 list from the Chronicle. Miss Ollie's rightfully takes a spot (9th and Washington, one block from Marriott). https://projects.sfchronicle.com/top-100-restaurants/
