Below average hotel restaurant with above average prices. The service was very rushed with a bar tender who was very inattentive. The prices were high for the area (probably because of the captive audience) and the food was nothing to rave about.
The digital menus might have been trendy but are a real pain to use. I would not recommend this place and would walk the three blocks to one of the other, better, more affordable, establishments!
Amazing ambiance and service! Caleb was our server, was super attentive and we’ll be back just for him! The food was great, would recommend!
Pleasantly surprised by the gluten-free options labeled clearly on the menu. Educated staff knew which items to stay away from on the breakfast buffet. Parker even brought out gluten-free toast for my breakfast. Friendly staff; great food.
All good - food, service, setting - except an inexplicably loud noise level. When meals rolled out, everyone calmed down.
The food was amazing. It always is. However, our server informed us that there wasn’t brunch being served today, only after we had decided on our choices. Fine. We ordered from the lunch menu. The food came out hot and in good time. Our server though….very inattentive. She brought our check before we were even finished eating. I said, “oh, I would like to try your Creme brulee…” She rolled her eyes and took the check away. I then asked for three boxes for our food. She brought ONE. I again asked for two more boxes and she brought plastic round containers for our sandwiches. I was confused. The service was subpar today and I was disappointed. The food was very good though! We felt rushed.
A friend and I dined here on a quiet Sunday evening, and the experience could not have been better! The atmosphere was lovely, and the menu was stacked with many delicious options to choose from. All that said, I was inspired to write a review because of our server, Caleb. Caleb was a wonderful server!! He gave excellent recommendations on everything. He was super fun and elevated the dining experience. Thanks, Caleb!!
Had the best time. Our waiter, Caleb was amazing and so great. Had a great night before the Symphony!
The food and service were fantastic. Although the restaurant was somewhat busy, my food came out in a timely manner. Would highly recommend!
Really beautiful presentation and great food. A bit noisy, but a lot of people were there for before dinner cocktails.
Great food, fair prices. Shoutout to Isaac and Parker for making my daughter’s day!

This is an excellent place for lunch or dinner. Although it can be a bit pricey, it offers a more refined dining experience, making it definitely worthwhile. The staff members are always friendly. The service is efficient. The serving sizes of the dishes are quite substantial. I really enjoy their flatbreads; the flavor combinations are amazing, and the variety of toppings is always changing. The Margherita Flatbread is particularly noteworthy as one of the best offerings.
We had Caleb as our server and he honestly brought the experience from a four to a five, food was good and service was great!
Caleb had gone above and beyond. Not once not twice but 3 times. From here on out we will be requesting him. The Hilton should be so-lucky to have someone so dedicated representing this establishment. And if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have come back after minor issues prior to us being delighted by his service .
And with all this said, we are bringing three children under the age of six each time and had an exceptional experience every single time because of Caleb .
Watch out now the second I open a restaurant, I will be stealing his services away from the Hilton.
Caleb M. took such good care of us on our Valentine’s date. He was knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, specials, drink details, and everything in between all while being more friendly and welcoming than any other server i’ve had in the area. Thank you Caleb M, and thank you Ad Lib for a great date night!
Well curated, edgy brunch menu accompanied by excellent craft cocktails. Hidden in a Hilton and I expect as an independent store front it would be a tough reservation to get. Great, friendly service. The hotel lobby vibe takes a point or two away as do the Pittsburgh/Philadelphia prices for drinks but it's well worth it. You won't go away hungry
