This restaurant is a hidden gem in Ogden. If you are looking for high-end dishes with unique flavors and obvious care put into every plate, then walk into the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn and get yourself a table at the restaurant. My wife and I ate there for the first time tonight, and I’m genuinely embarrassed we’ve never been before. My wife had the mussels and the pesto risotto. I had a burrata arugula salad and the smoky chorizo tortellini. So delicious! My new favorite place in Ogden.

We were happily surprised by the delicious, beautifully garnished food and drinks. We enjoyed Salmon Diamante with Cucumber "Caviar" (pearls) and curried potato, and a lovely pesto mushroom risotto. Even the salad had fresh mixed greens, jicama, corn off the cobb, cabbage, cranberries and savory sweet house made glazed walnuts with an excellent house made balsamic. Dulce de Leche creme brulee enhanced with fresh fruit and hazelnut dust was fun. Very nice service with a staff who understood ingredients to ensure items were gluten-free as needed.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for those who are gluten free. Waitstaff consulted with chef to ensure adjustments needed, and knew not to bring bread.

Chef Josh did an amazing job on our tasting. All of the food was so delicious. Josh was so nice and friendly. Our servers, Kathy and Joey did a fantastic job at taking care of us as well. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone I know. Thank you for the amazing dinner.

You would never believe that this type of dining exists in the heart of Ogden. Executive Chef Josh does AMAZING things here! You would never believe that you were in the restaurant of a Hilton Hotel while dining here. Exquisite dishes, superb service, we did a tasting menu created by Chef Josh and each course that came out was SO GOOD. 5-Star dining that delivers!

This is for William and Kayle, The two Chefs on duty.I'm in my 70's, when I go to a restaurant I expect my meal to exceed my own cooking! With only a few exceptions in the Salt Lake City area, I've been disappointed. Now when I go out, it's only to celebrate my wife's birthday, and then I just expect a normal nice meal. Well, imagine my surprise at the Magic I was about to experience. There were 4 of us, my wife and I, her sister and husband. The Host, Waitress and atmosphere was calm, professional and evidence of a management that cares. My one and only criticism, the menu, the font was hard for this old man to read. My wife snapped a photo with her cell phone and then enlarged it. . . Now, let's get to the Magic. I was overwhelmed with repeated "How did they do this?" First, the Mussels themselves were eclipsed by the broth and "filling", and once devoured, I broke bread into the broth and shed a tear when there was no more. Second, I hate it when restaurants try to make fry sauce "fancy", and sure enough there in front of me was "fancy" fry sauce. With hesitation I dipped a fry and Wow, another taste of magic, "How did they do this?". Third, My sister in law offered me a taste of her risotto, This magic melted in my mouth, and again I'm pondering "How in the hell, did they do this?". . .I'm a huge mashed potato fan and snob, knowing this, my wife offered me a taste of what I assumed was sweet potatoes or squash, turned out, it was magical mashed potatoes and my Fourth, "How did they do this?". . . Obviously, This is what happens with the right combination of management that cares, and creative Chefs allowed to work magic.It's been forever, since I've been this impressed. Thank you for a dining experience that far exceeds any of my humble kitchen skills.

I was blown away by the fantastic tasting food and presentation. It reminded me a high-end restaurant in New York. The staff was friendly and personal. I was impressed Chef came out after our meal and visited with us. We had a wonderful experience.

Overall rating for this location is a 4. The room was clean... But is in dire need of maintenance. The water pressure in the shower was a dribble.... Not due to a low flow head... Just extremely low water pressure. The other big issue is the bed... The box frame sticks out into the walking isleway and is a big chin knocker....

Since becoming a regular visitor to the Ogden area I find there is one chef that I visit at least once while there. Chef Josh at Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is amazing. I didn't have to add any type of seasoning on my filet mignon as it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to my desire. Never disappointed.Yes....it's at the Hilton Garden Inn but I felt like I was at a high end restaurant. ?

An unexpectedly good find. The food was excellent, very well plated. Removed one star due to having to remind the wait staff about our drinks when our food arrived even though we were they only patrons at the time.

Dinner looks great, but we had the breakfast buffet and was not very impressive. They open at 7am, we were there at 715am and needing to fuel before the Spartan Race, but still had to wait about 10 minutes for the eggs and potatoes to be ready. Never did see the oatmeal ("we're working on it").Lots of good fresh fruit and some decent pastries, but for $17 you'd like everything to be ready to eat when you get there.

My husband and I have eaten here twice now and it’s one of our new favorites! I can’t believe we didn’t know about it sooner! Everything we’ve tried is delicious but we are big fans of the pineapple teriyaki wings and pineapple upside down cake. The service was wonderful, food is amazing and reasonably priced—we’re big fans and will definitely be going back! Such a convenient location too if you’re in the 25th street area. So glad we found this place!
