Great offerings on the buffet and staff was very friendly. $32 is expensive for a hotel breakfast buffet - should be more like $24-26. Thank you. Mary

The Christmas brunch was beautiful at 16 bar + Grille. They had activity bags for the kids that were fun to keep them entertained, they also gave us a lovely Disney ornament for the Christmas tree. It was a perfect environment for the Christmas season. The Christmas decorations on the first floor of the America's Hilton were very beautiful! The breakfast buffet was good, but could had with more options. Given the well decorated Christmas ambience it was an enjoyable meal.

It's a great experience! The hotel decorations are fabulous! The food is good but it could have more options for the price. The service was excellent specially Mr. Miguel Gallego, he made sure everything was perfect and that we had a great experience.

Attended the bar with coworkers after an event at the convention center… we were deemed to drunk after 2 drinks from “people who were watching us” and then could not get 1 more beer at the bar. Security was saying we did nothing wrong but the bar manager Justin said that we could not be served and then were kicked out. If we were being rude or obnoxious i would understand, but all we did was order and get denied for no reason.

Overpriced dried up breakfast. Advertised as breakfast with Santa with “complimentary” gift bag— buffet was priced fairly for a hotel and then added $20 for “complimentary” gift bag with cheap cup and stickers inside. $60 for one person for subpar food and hovering service.

We have been to the 1600 Bar + Grille for about four years. It is always a fun and magical experiance. The music and food are great. We love the waiters, they are friendly & professional. Yes, we love it and will return next year. Willie & Tom

An exceptional dining experience for Thanksgiving. Highly recommend for people who don't want to cook on a holiday, but want superb choices and delicious offerings.

This was the holiday buffet. The food made me sick, possibly because of too many people breathing around the food. No buffets in my future. Perhaps I will go back and try it as a restaurant and order directly some day.

I visited the Hilton Hotel and decided to stop by the Lobby Bar expecting a high-quality experience, given Hilton’s strong reputation. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite.
When I arrived, the bartender — a white male in his 40s or 50s — was immediately condescending and rude. He told me I couldn’t sit at the bar unless everyone in my party had an ID. I provided mine, but my wife had accidentally left hers at home. I didn’t make an issue of it and simply decided to sit at a regular table instead, as instructed.
Before leaving the bar area, I asked the bartender for an espresso martini. He acknowledged my order, so I sat with my wife at another table. A waitress soon came by, took my order again, and after waiting over 15 minutes, I still hadn’t received my drink. When I politely asked about it, she responded rudely, saying, “I don’t know, if you’ve got an open tab at the bar.” I asked if she could please check for me, and she reacted with an annoyed expression. It took another 10 minutes before I finally got my drink — and even then, the bartender appeared in no rush, casually lingering around the bar as if he couldn’t care less. For reference, the place wasn’t even busy.
At that point, I decided to leave. I don’t mind paying for good service, but I’m not going to spend money where guests are treated poorly. To make matters worse, valet still charged me the full $34 fee even after I explained that I was leaving due to the horrible service and hadn’t consumed anything. They couldn’t have cared less and still charged the full amount.
Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish. I do not recommend the Lobby Bar or this Hilton location to anyone. It’s no surprise they only have a handful of Google reviews — customer service clearly isn’t a priority here.

Cocktails and oysters were amazing! British has been our waitress twice and she is worth coming back for - so kind, funny and attentive.

We had an incredible Thanksgiving experience at 1600 Bar + Grille! The service and food were outstanding, and the ambiance was fantastic. We've decided to make this our yearly tradition. We are very grateful for the staff and their hospitality. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! 10/10!
