Very nice restaurant with "ok" prices on normal menu but AMAZING prices on kids menu! Very nice food and food was served in around 10 minutes also easy access from Hilton hotel!

We had an awesome dinner tonight at Bruins. Chopped salad with fresh local grilled salmon. So delicious and such friendly service. We will definitely be back.

I was kind of shocked for the price, I spent about $75 for a halibut and crab cakes meal. That is for one person... The crab cakes tasted like the kind that was frozen out of a supermarket, overly salty with no distinguishable pieces of crab, and when I asked if it was served with a sauce such as a remoulade (as they serve it dry on top of arugula) the server said it was not possible. The halibut is visible overcooked, it's unfortunate to pay about $50 for an overcooked piece of fish. Again very dry; however, on the plus side the rice and asparagus they serve with the dish is wonderful, the mustard flavor in the rice adds a nice undertone. All in all, AVOID, save yourself some money and actually get what it's worth across the street at 49th State Brewing, try the halibut there and you'll see what I'm referring to.

Fine place for bar food at the Hilton.. Was not crowded just after 5 pm on a Friday. Great fish and chips. Food served on a cutting.

So first time here. Was recommended by the hostess. They recommended the Chipotle marinated chicken quesadillas. Which were actually quite lovely. Serve with the side of house made salad and sour cream. It tasted like a dairy gold.For the entree Angus beef filet. At 41 dollars, I can't recommend the plate. It came with aside of Brussels sprouts and what looked like house fries, potatoes grilled like the brussels sprouts. They needed salt. I ordered my steak medium rare. It came more mid, and a drink I ordered was a lemon drop. It was citrus in taste. But I can't necessarily call it a lemon drop. Especially since I decided to garnish the glass with a slice of lime. All in all, I would eat here again for the appetizer. I should have gone with the house special, which was like an upgraded version of when I got where It came with salted onions and mushrooms and a nice red sauce. And it was $8 more.For dessert, I ordered the bake Apple gilette

My wife and I were staying the Hilton and decided the end the night with a drink at the Bruins Bar in the hotel. My wife was laughing and was in a great mood and I guess that meant to the bartender that she was intoxicated. My wife had only had a beer with dinner. The bartender was completely rude and told her that she was not serving her because she had already had too much that night. She continued being rude as we tried to explain to her that my wife was not intoxicated and that we were guests of the hotel. This was our second bad experience at this bar and both times it has been staffing issues.

Very good experience having dinner and drinks here. Julianne, our waitress, was awesome even though it was pretty busy. Food was pretty good as well.

I went here with a friend who's hemiplegic. They only had high bar stools and refused to allow her to be served on a comfortable chair. Really, really, bad.
