  OK for hotel food.
  
  I ordered the pan-crusted salmon with rice pilaf dish. It was cooked in coconut curry sauce and garnished with a side of garlicky green beans. It was nice and not too heavy. $23 though.
  
  It came with a side of jalapeno corn bread...that was a disappointment. The bread was re-warmed and dry. Also, the honey cream cheese it came with was frozen still.
  
  My colleague got the seared ahi tuna salad. He said it was fishy so he only ate the salad. He then ordered the creme brulee cheesecake. That was pretty much a store bought cheese cake slice drizzled in caramel.
  
  Three stars is fair. At least we didn't need to drive somewhere to get food when it's 8:30PM.

  The bar staff was friendly but the restaurant staff was incredibly rude when I tried to sit down in the restaurant.  I had the chicken and waffles which was a little weird since the waffles have bacon cooked into them.  I had reservations about this and asked about having the bacon removed but apparently it's already prepared in the batter this way.  To ease my concerns they brought me a side of standalone bacon.  When the food came out, you really couldn't taste the bacon in the waffles and I had went with the bartenders suggestion to get regular syrup instead of spicy syrup.  The seasoning and batter used on the chicken was unique and an acquired taste that after eating about half of it, I discovered I just wasn't mean to acquire.  Service was ok bordering lackluster as my drink sat empty for a while (it's worth noting the cup sizes here are like half a soda can when you add ice so you may as well serve two drinks at a time) before a bartender came over to refill it because they were all hiding out on the backside of the bar socializing. Price to food portion ratio is better-than-average here.

  So far not so good.
  
  I am currently sitting in the bar area and 20 min of my life has passed by. I have tried repeatedly to get anyone's attention and the only one taking notice of me is another table that is now enjoying my efforts as their evenings entertainment.
  
  I will approach the bar.
  
  No good. 5 min here and the bartenders are busy and no time for walk ups that don't stand in front of them.
  
  I will try to stand in the way of the waitress.
  
  She walked around me...
  
  I will go to the bar and talk to her.
  
  Success!  She will come to my table and take my order. She moves on to two other tables first but does come to me.
  
  The first thing she says is that a lot of orders came in at the same time. I call BS on her and tell her the exact time that 4 different tables come in and what their drink orders were. I know this because I was seated ahead of all of them and ignored.
  
  Note to other servers. Don't blame others for your mistake. Simply apologize and take my order.
  
  Drinks came out quickly
  
  Wings came out. They are not hot but not too cold so we will eat them without complaint.
  
  There is no silverware or napkins.
  Time to complain.  
  
  I go up and get some napkins and some silverware.   The experience is nit getting better and the bar area is clearing out so it is not that busy anymore.
  
  She comes to my table with another excuse about the silverware
  
  Food comes out and it is wrong.
  
  This review is over. I can't even objectively rate the foods at this point. The experience is so poor. I am here for a few days and this is the last time I will eat here.
  
  I am a gold member and travel extensively internationally. This is one of the worst Hilton experiences I have ever had and not representative of the brand.
  
  There are better places to eat within a short distance and I would recommended you venture out rather than eat here

  I have enjoyed dinners at more convention hotels than I care to count and the majority of them are very good, this one may be the exception. Our waiter seemed like it was his first day and wasn't familiar with the menu at all. We ordered our food which was difficult mostly because he did not understand the difference between medium and medium rare. I understand he may have been new but where is the training for this restaurant? I would expect a training process before a new employee is on the floor. The fresh bread loaf was not fresh and more like a squashed muffin. We both ordered blue cheese salad dressing but they only had enough for one of the salads. The rib eye was tasty but for price of the meal I would expect more. In summery I would try and find something outside the hotel for a meal.

  the food is good the service is nice- but so slow- at a convention hotel you think it would be faster.  I love that you have the full menu for room service and only a 2 dollar charge-  it is easier than going out to a place.  I got faster service at the bar eating there.   The food isn't spectacular- the salads were good.
