I was kind of shocked for the price, I spent about $75 for a halibut and crab cakes meal. That is for one person... The crab cakes tasted like the kind that was frozen out of a supermarket, overly salty with no distinguishable pieces of crab, and when I asked if it was served with a sauce such as a remoulade (as they serve it dry on top of arugula) the server said it was not possible. The halibut is visible overcooked, it's unfortunate to pay about $50 for an overcooked piece of fish. Again very dry; however, on the plus side the rice and asparagus they serve with the dish is wonderful, the mustard flavor in the rice adds a nice undertone. All in all, AVOID, save yourself some money and actually get what it's worth across the street at 49th State Brewing, try the halibut there and you'll see what I'm referring to.

Fine place for bar food at the Hilton.. Was not crowded just after 5 pm on a Friday. Great fish and chips. Food served on a cutting.

So first time here. Was recommended by the hostess. They recommended the Chipotle marinated chicken quesadillas. Which were actually quite lovely. Serve with the side of house made salad and sour cream. It tasted like a dairy gold.For the entree Angus beef filet. At 41 dollars, I can't recommend the plate. It came with aside of Brussels sprouts and what looked like house fries, potatoes grilled like the brussels sprouts. They needed salt. I ordered my steak medium rare. It came more mid, and a drink I ordered was a lemon drop. It was citrus in taste. But I can't necessarily call it a lemon drop. Especially since I decided to garnish the glass with a slice of lime. All in all, I would eat here again for the appetizer. I should have gone with the house special, which was like an upgraded version of when I got where It came with salted onions and mushrooms and a nice red sauce. And it was $8 more.For dessert, I ordered the bake Apple gilette

My wife and I were staying the Hilton and decided the end the night with a drink at the Bruins Bar in the hotel. My wife was laughing and was in a great mood and I guess that meant to the bartender that she was intoxicated. My wife had only had a beer with dinner. The bartender was completely rude and told her that she was not serving her because she had already had too much that night. She continued being rude as we tried to explain to her that my wife was not intoxicated and that we were guests of the hotel. This was our second bad experience at this bar and both times it has been staffing issues.

Very good experience having dinner and drinks here. Julianne, our waitress, was awesome even though it was pretty busy. Food was pretty good as well.

I went here with a friend who's hemiplegic. They only had high bar stools and refused to allow her to be served on a comfortable chair. Really, really, bad.

Highly dissatisfied at the way I was treated at this restaurant tonight at dinner.I stayed at the Hilton hotel as I regularly do, and sat down at 6:20 for dinner. I was eventually greeted at my table where it is free seating and asked if we would like water and given our menus.We decided what we wanted to eat and drink and the waitress never came back or sent anyone to give us water. At 6:45 after sitting there and being ignored we got up and went to the bar to order to go food.The bartender ignored us for a period of time then asked what we want, I told her we want to order to go since our waitress never took our order or came back with water. She did not apologize or seen to care at all, and told us she’ll be right with us. 7:00pm we finally got to order and she told us to go sit back down at our table and she will bring us the bill. I told her I will wait right there at the bar to pay so I can leave and go to my room. She still never apologized for lack of service handed over my bill and I payed and asked how long. She said 30-40 minutes.I understand how hard it can be working on these busy holidays. But there is no reason my party of 2 was treated this way.

We're still waiting for our food ordered 1 hour ago. Drinks took 45 minutes to be served. We're exhausted after traveling and being up since 5am. Otherwise, we'd get out of hotel to find food. My husband has Parkinson's and needs food due to his meds. I'd never return here.
