This place is a very good option to enjoy excellent food and delicious drinks, with fast and attentive service. However, it is worth keeping in mind that the prices are high.

Stopped after dinner around the block. We encountered the hardest working person in this Hilton Hotel. "Van" told us she was in training but handled the bar and several tables capably. She has a great sense of humor and pours a decent shot of tequila, even if their selection is limited. Wishing Van success!

Great Saturday night out in our hotel bar with our friends from Manhattan, NYC. Nothing like an open tab and Denni keeping the libations flowing and the food, olives, and limes on a swivel. Many choices for food and appetizers. He was awesome in hostesses grind. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. In order to use the bathroom you must have a room key card to access this. I love this type of security. Not just anyone off the street can come in and use the facilities. The bathrooms are clean and up to date.

Food is good, lots of options. Weekend bartender is very capable, knowledgeable about the city. Steer clear of the bartender during the weekdays. Very, very sensitive little snowflake.

I would give a "zero" star rating if at all possible. As a young and educated working professional and frequent attendee of conferences in this hotel I decided to stop for a drink while attempting to brush up on some reading for the conference. I was carded for ordering a drink, I was denied due to having a "vertical" license as oppose to a "horizontal" license (despite it not being expired and having several different IDs such as my credit card, student ID, conference pass, and hotel reservations to verify my age and identity. The bar maid claimed there was a "new law" in DC forbidding those with horizontal licenses from being served. I called and checked with the DC police department to verify this and they said no such law existed. Overall, horrible experience and the staff was unfriendly, aside from one bartender (I believe his name was Denny). Would NOT recommend to young professionals because they do not treat you with respect!
