The Christmas buffet was horrible. The food tasted like cafeteria food and the lemonade was powdered, not even the good powdered like Country Time. It was more like what you get in an MRE. It was already packed and loud enough, but on top of that they had to add a guy playing saxaphone, going from table to table, trying to get tips. He stopped at the table next to us and was playing right in my ear. Worst Christmas dinner ever!

Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and so many choices. The service was great. The only thing lacking was holiday decor. I wanted a Christmas feel. I didn't feel that at all. I felt like it was just another day in a restaurant.

Food was cold. Variety for a holiday was poor. Rolls were cold. Desserts were store bought and choice was poor for a holiday meal. Very overpriced. Servers were rushed. Music supplied by a man who played saxophone and he came to tables and played sax at table which was loud and annoying. Felt rushed.
Dan
Food was poor quality and poorly prepared. All we're bad - chicken fettuccine - burger - grilled Mahi sandwich
Brittany Cummings
The food was just ok- nothing special about it. The Mai Tai was amazing! Definitely should have skipped my first drink and just went with that. Not bad for an in hotel restaurant.
Tammy
Delicious food - beautifully presented. Ocean view. Some construction obstruction but will be even better view when that is complete. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Denice
Food and atmosphere were great! The taste of the food was delicious. However my reservations were at 2:30 and by the time I finished my meal and went to get dessert, there were only a few selections left. I would like to see all the dessert varieties available until everyone is done with their meal.

Disappoints. The breakfast was the same breakfast you would get from a Holiday Inn by the side of I-95. Definitely not anything special as you might expect from the restaurant at a flagship hotel like Hilton. Well overpriced at $22 per person plus gratuity. I would recommend skipping this place and going to any one of the local places nearby.

Wonderful experience! Alex was very accommodating with our large party as it increased to 15. He anticipated our needs every step of the way. The food was amazing and came out quickly considering our large group. Thank you so much!!

Talk about a hidden gem. Did not know we were allowed to dine here without a reservation at the hotel! My wife and I sat in the indoor restaurant and were shocked by the food quality. You can't find a cut of steak of this caliber anywhere else in this state for these prices. Great service from everyone we encountered, a huge thank you to Cindey for her polite care. Will definitely be back!
Smelled musty at entrance, got a ticket for parking on the street for 5 mins over, food pretty good, waitress was phenomenal. Wish I got her name. Best waitress I’ve had in 15 years!

Overpriced ($20 breakfast tiny buffet) but a clean solid corporate option with clean bathrooms and nice staff. No beachfront view from restaurant. Free parking.
I like this because the private places always mess up something (service, temp, ambiance, food, hospitality) This place is decent for all of that except food quality and is consistent. You can walk outside here to the beach when done also without the typical bar crowd. If you don’t mind a bland, stale corporate breakfast, this place is the spot.

Definitely one of Vero beach’s, finest restaurant. Family favorite, been dinning here since I was a teen , many years ago. Coquille St. Jacques is always worth the extra wait

The food here is very good. It's very hard to do a good buffet and not have food that is sitting out. It really seems like they pay attention to the status of each tray. And if your not partial to Asian food there are other choices classic American food.The decor seems a little dated, but it obviously has a following with the outdoor waiting benches. We didn't have to wait, but I imagine if you pick the wrong time, you could be waiting a while. Parking can be tricky, But we got lucky and got the last space.

Thanksgiving should fill ones heart and mind with lasting memories of beautiful table settings, and tasty and sumptuous turkey dinner.....well that was not our experience Thanksgiving 2023. I have had school cafeteria offerings that would have made this meal taste and look like 4 stars.Sorry Hilton I will never be back to your Ocean Grille. Too expensive for the worst meal I have ever had. This review would have rated at least 1 star if there had been the ambiance of a tablecloth. Thank you for making this Thanksgiving so memorable in the saddest way. "The posted 1 star was obligatory in order to post my comment, but unearned by the Hilton's Ocean Grille".
