The breakfast buffet had several options and all were hot & delicious. The service was efficient. The women servers were friendly, but the man was not. He made me feel as if he was being inconvenienced.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to maneuver with ramp access into the building.

Staff are lazy and inattentive. The cook is oblivious to food temps. Couldn't cook a medium steak if their life depended on it. So typical for Hilton quality. They expect their name and fancy buildings to make up for bad service and quality.

Service was amazing *pro tip if you go down and order your food vice use room service you pay at least $15 less for your meal. They will accommodate just about all of your needs at the restaurant, even if you have some food that you brought in from outside they will heat it up for you.The drinks are quite tasty and pack a punch they have live music in the lobby M-F and there is always some flight crew staying at this hotel so you can meet many international travelers and have some great conversations.

This review based on the breakfast buffet. Overall not worth the $22 (Dec '23) price. Yes, I know it's a hotel restaurant but I've had better quality at the free breakfast from Hampton Inn. My french toast was rock hard. You shouldn't have to saw through french toast. Eggs with cheese/onions/red peppers were bland. Thankfully they had hot sauce. Ok variety of breakfast foods; 2 types of scrambled eggs, oatmeal, french toast, fruits, cheese and salami, assorted breads/croissant, etc. Service when in the dinner room was attentive and friendly. Issue was there were many times all of the waitresses were away in the back. Very doubtful that I'll eat here again.

Slow service, flat beer, way undercooked burger. The flatbread was really good, but wasn't cut properly and it was a challenge pulling the slices apart. Last resort dining.

Has a great atmosphere for a hotel. My partner and I sat down and were the only 2 in the place. Ordered the Steak and Sausage and Peppers. I’m not sure how they managed to bring it to us cold. Steak was over cooked. Not medium rare. We ended up getting food poisoning.

The food was good, but you need to get a real nacho cheese sauce for your nachos. I really wanted to like the nachos but I just didn't. The guacamole was good, the diced tomatoes were good but they were so few of them it didn't pay. Pay. The cheese sauce was just blah and it was just not melted on. It was just there. Now. The burger that I ordered was definitely on point. I ordered the burger that had guacamole and pickled jalapenos, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It was so incredibly good. It was very messy but it was good and the fries went well with it. I would definitely go and get the burgers again but definitely not the nachos. I was at a happy hour and the service was good in terms of ordering at the bar and receiving our food quickly but not in terms of being able to flag down the server to get more water. I had to go back to the bar in order to get another water. I attend this happy hour about once a month so I will try again the next time but probably not with the nachos unless I see others getting nachos that look a lot better than we had this time. A good place to get some food during happy hour and a great place to get drinks. The space is nice and the bar is nice and they readily have sports games like baseball so that I can keep an eye on my team. I recommend giving this place a try.

Blackened chicken Alfredo and Bavarian pretzel with cheese.Pretzel's cheese was $3 extra and you get maybe 2oz. Not worth the price. Simple item just not super tastey.The chicken isn't blackened(spiced) much at all. Alfredo sauce is very bland.I should have gone to burger king.

It's okay. That pretty much sums up my review. It's just fine. Food was okay, nothing too special. We had to eat pretty quickly because we had an event to go to, so we asked them if we could get our food fast and they brought it over swiftly. This is a bar and a small restaurant, food items include burgers, flatbreads, some small appetizers, deserts, etc.Service was good, same people working for Hilton's breakfast. I liked the burger and thought it was good, the flatbread was much better though. The cauliflower appetizer was undercooked. Drinks were better.The one thing that was weird (to me) was that since our food was taking time to get made, the waiter brought out a bowl of nuts to eat until the food was ready. These were the most stale and bland nuts I have ever ate. I don't know why he brought them out. 5 more minutes and I would have gotten my appetizer anyway.I liked the fact that I could bill directly to the room number. But to sum it up, don't expect anything too amazing, for a quick bite I'd say it gets the job done.Vegetarian options: Not a ton, however they will give you veg options upon request. It's not on the menu but they'll replace a beef patty with a veg one.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar, so not really kid friendly.Parking: Hilton has a ton of parking at this hotel.

This place is a gem. A can’t miss. The Not So Classic Caesar is a perfect stater. The charred romaine hearts with roasted Roma tomatoes is lights out!! The recommended farmers burger with bacon and caramelized onions would be great on its own but the sunny side up egg bring this dish to another level! SO SO GOOD! Make sure you see Prakash and Kripa at the bar. So attentive and service with a smile made my meal complete. Defiantly a staple on my next stop to Fairfax.

I have only positive things to say about my experience eating here. I was not staying at the Hilton but was in the area with a friend and we decided to have some lunch. We ordered the Southwestern Nachos to start and they were INCREDIBLE. The portion was huge. The queso hit me on first bite. Best I’ve ever had. The pulled pork was super flavorful too. Next I tried the Farmhouse Burger. I asked for no egg. It was divine. The caramelized onions were so delicious and the burger was cooked excellently. Even the fries were great- perfect amount of salt!The service was also a part of the positive experience. Our server, Kripa, was kind and did her job well.Would go again for sure to try the flatbreads, fried chicken sandwich, and the desserts!!!Last, there are of lot of seating options.Five out of five!Parking: Huge parking lot. Easy entrance past some automatic doors and then you’re in the hotel. You walk straight and the bar will be to your left and you’ll see all the tables choices in front and to the left of you.

Hungry and food was cold, microwave dirty and I was upset. Staying in the hotel amd couldn't hot food at the restaurant. It didn't have to be delivered to the room so why was ithe food cold and the plate warm. The guy did offer to take my plate to the back and warm. No no no, if I can't go back there and warm it I don't want it.
