Mannnnnnn… this is one of the best Tito Dirty Martinis I’ve ever had… cold, extra olives and… cold. Did I mention cold? It has ice crystals in it, it’s so cold. This is my first time at this hotel and bar. Very impressed with the bartender Denise! She puts her heart and soul into making a very balanced drink! Started with icing down the glass (a critical step)... Sooo Good. Anyone can make a martini, but hard to make an awesome one. Well done Hilton Garden Inn, Burbank and staff!

Ate here several times (both in-person and take-out) during an extended stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. As hotel restaurants go, it's a fine option with quick service and pretty good dinner. For dinner choices, had the Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos, and Vegan Burger, all of which were good (giving the edge to the tacos). Prices for dinner are comparable to other restaurants in the downtown Burbank area, as are portions. For dining in (versus taking up to the room), the ambiance is fine, but part of the hotel's lobby. The best tables are near the windows and afford a bit of a street view. Also had breakfast on one occasion, with less good results. Had the French Toast and sampled the Breakfast Burrito, both of which were just middling. Compared to other hotel restaurants, the breakfast felt overpriced for what it was. Service was also mixed, with a server repeatedly asking us if we were finished or using our condiments (while we were using them). On the whole, this is a fine option for dinner if you're staying at the hotel or in the area, particularly if you like fish. Breakfast could be improved.

This review is for Denise, the incredible server we had this morning who went above and beyond to make our breakfast enjoyable. The dining area is also a good neighborhood place to meet friends for a meal.

Denise was a delight and the Rib eye was excellent perfectly cooked no sauce needed, it was paired with beautifully prepared Chipotle mashed potatoes and out of this world Brussel sprouts that were glazed with bacon bits, everything complimented each other. The best Rib eye I have had to date at one of my stays at a Hilton.

Awesome service and even better food Best Roasted Brussel Sprouts EVER, Spaghetti was tasty my wife loved the SALMON!??

I'm surprised how good my Brussels sprouts were, I didn't even take a picture of them because I was so hungry! Nom nom nom!! My salad with shrimp is good but a little oily. I'm sitting in the lobby wolfing it down. Who would ever think the Hilton Garden Inn would have a nice little restaurant with decent food!

A nice little hotel lobby bar. Catalina whipped us up some delicious cocktails and provided cheerful conversation while the Dodger game played on the TV.

The kitchen on san frenando was great. I can't base my review on anything but the vegan mushrooms burger and the sweet potato fries cause thats all i had. But it was fantastic. The fries were so well made, crispy and very flavorful. And the burger was delicious. Huge portions, even had to remove and tomatoe and a portobello. And it was still very filling. The yellow sauce on the burger was the best part. Very delicious and a bit tangy. Yum!

They're much less expensive than different eateries we've seen previously. I do partake in the food here, it tasted OK. I'm certain I'll propose them to anybody.

Edamame was delicious. Ordered a 6oz filet dinner medium rare and got medium well. The waitress did not seem to care. I asked if the chef/cook was new and the waitress informed me he was there head cook and knew how to cook a steak. This is their most expensive dinner and there was just two other people dining at thi
Good, large portions. The pricing is in the medium range but definitely worth it because of flavor and the large portions.

I've been coming to this hotel for years so this is an overview of years of service(or lack there of). Yesterday was the nail in the coffin for the 1star. There's hardly any fruit or vegetables to add to the breakfast. I've asked, I've begged and I just can't get anything besides meat in the morning. Very frustrating. Other Hilton's do so I'm not sure why this one is hard to have healthy options in the morning. COVID changes have now made it extra impossible. The dinner menu has an impossible burger but you still have modify it. I wish their menu had more healthy eating options. Traveling for work, I don't always want to eat out but most Hilton's have the same basic menu but all have some variety depending on location. This one likes meat, not necessarily bad but just be aware. Most mornings before covid(same staff), was rough. I was often ignored and it wasn't just me. I saw almost every morning someone leaving before getting food. You would think if they had to put notes on the coffee carafes that you can't touch it, means people are tired of empty coffee cups. Hello HINT! I had one favorite server each morning but I don't think he works here anymore. Now with covid, they don't have to worry much about filling coffee because a lot of people take it to go. Speaking of covid, how does a mouth guard hanging off a chin of a server do ANYTHING! Covid is spreading like crazy right now and thanks to unvaccinated people, everyone is at risk for catching especially unvaccinated but even vaccinated are catching it and you have a server who is interacting with hundreds of people potentially spreading the virus. NOT COOL! She needs to actually wear a proper mask. She's potentially going to kill a hotel guest who isn't making health conscious choices. If eating an unhealthy breakfast wasn't enough, now you have someone clearly spreading a virus. If she hasn't already starting spreading it, she eventually will. This is a HUGE issue. I will not eat here if I see she is working. If she chooses to not understand science and help protect others then I will choose to spend my money for food elsewhere.

I'm staying at the hotel. I've had a few of their items They are good. I did noticed that if someone orders for delivery it's $2.99. However since I'm staying at the hotel it's 18% extra fee plus $4 for delivery. That doesn't make sense

Really good casual dining in the Hilton Gardens Hotel. Fresh tasting food with a sense of being in California - roaster brussel sprouts, korean grilled beef tacos, grilled beets, tacos, hamburgers, salads. Tasty. Happy hour every day 4-7:30PM with bargain drinks and half price small plates. Just a couple of those make a whole meal. Or have one and make your way down the street a block or 2 to find several blocks of restaurants. But why leave? Watched the Golden Globes at the bar chatting with other guests and knew some of the after-parties were just a mile or so. Nice spot.

Just ate here and it's not good at all. Free range chicken really dry no seasoning on it at all. Just a bland dry half of chicken. The waiter never even asked how it was left almost all of it in eaten. For 26 bucks you would think it would be edible worst chicken I ever tried to eat. The side were ok but not real good but could eat it. Wife had fish and chips hers was ok fries were good. But the coleslaw was crap right out of the bag pre cut with no dressing on it at all. We are stay for 3 days here at the hotel won't waste our money again the Hilton proberty should be ashamed to serve food like this. 60.00 dollars wasted they have to know it's not good very disappointing. Don't know where the cook learned how to cook but don't think they learned very well think the cook failed the school course try seasoning the food and quit letting it sit in the oven drying out my dog would like it but would have to lick her butt to keep it down Hilton must went down hill won't stay at one again feel ripped off terrible stuff
