The place is beautiful, it's inside of a hotel so it's to be expected. But our dinning experience wasn't the best. Food is salty, some have no flavor, queso is watery. The shrimp undercooked. I could go on.They could not even afford taking 1/2 off a plate that we could not eat because of health reasons.None of us finished our plates.

Whilst being inticed by the splendour and the grandeur of a false reputation, we chose this establishment to land on our first night in Corpus Christi, TX. Only to experience the expired produce meets the customers before the garbage.This lettuce in the Ceaser salad was so far past expiry that it wasn’t worthy to be deemed compost. While the lettuce was an attraction for fruit flies, none would brave a landing on it due to its condition. After consuming what few scraps of lettuce showed signs of life, we were finally acknowledged by the bartender who asked us if we were done already. This was our chance to plead our case and we did to no avail. She stated that since we muscled through and ate what we could we were past the threshold of mercy and would not be getting a full refund.Now I have never had the pleasure to wait on and serve my valued community through the common necessity of food sustenance, I’ll give some advice for what to do when something like this happens. You make it right. If you can’t produce a good product or create a good experience, there is no value to be exchanged.I would accept an apology and a full refund which would be great. We did have our Bahama Mama refunded which leads me to believe that they realized something was terribly wrong. However, I’m still paying for two ‘salads’.

Absolutely Amazing! We live here and this has turned out to be a Hidden Gem! Well not for long I'm guessing! The Plate Presentation was spot on! The Drinks were Perfect! Did I Mention it overlooking the Gulf of Mexico! Wow Beautiful! Chef Anthony Took Great Care of us and we Wanted for Nothing. The Prices are Very Reasonable Especially with Everything your Getting. Do yourself a favor and try this place you won't be disappointed.

Eighteen 18 Bar at Hilton is your go-to spot for a chill time. They serve up all sorts of tasty grub, from comfort food to awesome snacks. They've got live tunes that really set the vibe, so you can just kick back and enjoy. Plus, the view of the Lexington waterfront? It's seriously amazing. Whether you're in the mood for a laid-back hangout or a special night, Eighteen 18 Bar has you covered with good eats, cool music, and killer scenery.

Terrible service. Stood and waited to be seated but never greeted. Waiter walked past me and looked at me several times as well. Next day, I attempted to order food to my room and it never arrived. Stay clear

Edit: I had a signed receipt showing the total amount including tip but when reviewing card transactions they added 2 dollars onto the total. Make sure you hold your receipts and check on itI ended up eating here all nights of my stay. I had the Mahimahi tacos twice, the BBQ bacon burger once and the seared tuna twice. The seared tuna was fantastic! Great tasting and very pretty presentation. I also had a Moscow mule every night among other drinks, but theirs stood out as better tasting than normalParking: Google says free parking at the hotel but it's 10 dollars per day. Not sure per hour if you were only visiting the restaurant.

The cook didn't show up on time for work. We ordered right when they opened but everyone was served before us. As a restaurant owner myself that was frustrating to see literally everyone served but we were not when we were the 1st to order. They served 7 tables before us. Bad bad bad service. We also paid and still had not been served. They can take the money and not give us food? What the heck- never coming again.

Young man on the phone gave me wonderful service. The treatment was phenomenal, I was on cloud 9. Never enjoyed a phone call more in my life. I would recommend again for a fun time!!

The bloke on the phone was class. Didn't even need to try the food to give this establishment five stars.

Business stay at the double tree turned into a 5 star stay. Joey did an exceptional job bartending; on the second visit he knew the beer I had before and had it ready. I asked Joey for a drink, he made a cocktail from my preference to perfection. I asked for a special off menu request and he made it happen.

Went there last night (Saturday) and they had live music. I nice gentleman playing the saxophone . The food menu was nice; but there was way to much seafood on that menu for me. It's an oceanfront restaurant, so that is to be expected but it was to much of a risk for me.It took them a while to even great us. The waitress was nice, but I was so shocked that they don't have a drink menu. It's a "bar" and grill, so one would assume that they would have a drink menu or drink recommendations; nope, nada, nothing. We were told that the drink menu was being updated. I had a mango margarita and my husband had an old fashioned. Honestly, the Margarita wasn't that great and my husband wasn't impressed with the old fashioned. Just wasn't a winner for us. Some of the menu items did sound delicious, but we decided not to order any food with those prices.
