We went for a late lunch in February on a THU. Menu is not large at all. That takes them to a 4.7. It’s inside of the hotel. Parking everywhere on a cold day. Food was good. Service was great. Hailey G really took care of an ‘old fart’ table. ;-)

Would not recommend to anyone. False advertising, poor service, bland food, and over priced. Waiter brought me other table checks throughout our meal for some reason. It took over an hour for our food to arrive. Fried chicken was flavorless and the salmon was as well. Feels like an airport restaurant.

We ordered the wine pairing with the Valentine's Dinner menu. First drinks were slow to the table and showed up after the 1st course was delivered. We got 2nd course and finished and still hadn't gotten the 2nd paired wine. We canceled the wine pairing at that point. I ordered my steak medium and it was well done. I think they should've turned off the sports on the TV for Valentine's dinner. The acoustic guitar player in the lobby was amazing!

I do not mind to pay a little more for good food; however, I ended up paying a little more for some mediocre food. The server, whom never even shared his name, did not show very much knowledge of the menu at all. If you want to go, do not even make a reservation. I promise no one is there.

Service was good but a little slow. The food was good but a bit overpriced. Place was loud because we were snowed in and had quite a few people. Drinks were excellent.

Would only recommend as a last resort. Typical restaurant located in a hotel: overpriced for the quality of food. Food and cocktails both have poor flavor. Staff is very nice.

I think it was one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had. Really good.

I didn’t care for the music they were playing. It was loud and annoying. It made it difficult to visit with my husband.

Overall, it was a good experience.

It's the main eating establishment in the downtown Hilton. We were only there for the Thanksgiving buffet, so I've no idea what a regular meal would be.

They tried but, no, not really. WAY too many heavy starchy items (4 different kinds of potatoes?!?!), and only one green veggie swimming in mushroom soup.

Nothing was flat out awful, but nothing really succeeded, either.

What a lovely Thanksgiving brunch buffet! The food was delicious, there was a very cool solo musician, and everyone was so friendly and happy! Discovering this little spot really made our holiday extra special.

Wonderful Thanksgiving buffet. A large variety of traditional thanksgiving foods—-turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, etc. as well as prime rib, smoked salmon, shrimp, and crab legs. Staff was very attentive and thanked us for coming in. Overheard the manager say that a buffet is also offered for Easter and Mother's Day. Will definitely be back next Thanksgiving! Keep up the good work!
