Description online is very misleading. This is really just a lobby bar. Food was ok, but service was terrible. Never got to order drinks bc the one guy working never came back to the table after giving us water and taking our order.

Overall, this restaurant was okay. I was expecting more of a restaurant but this was kind of like a bar in a hotel lobby. Not bad food - it was pretty tasty. Drinks were really strong.

The food was decent, but that was the only thing good about this place. It is inside of a nice hotel, which we did not know but was totally fine. Our server only had one other table and the place was very dead. It took over an hour for us to get our food…. Our drinks that we ordered were wrong and gross lol and also took forever to come out. We waited over 45 min for our checks and asked the server four times for them …. Then, when we FINALLY got them, they were all messed up and one of my friends got a random $39 service charge on her receipt which we assumed to be the tip?? The employees behind the bar were no help to us when we asked continuously to get our check so we could leave. We got there around 7:20 PM and didn’t get to leave until almost 10 PM … Overall, it was an awful experience as we had other things planned that evening that we were then extremely late to. Do not go here lol

The ambience was just beautiful with views of the ocean and the most comfortable seating. The food choices were plentiful for everyone and absolutely delicious especially the nachos! But most of all the server was top notch, he used to work on a cruise ship so he knows how to entertain! We loved his personality, his humor, and his pride in making sure we had everything we needed! Please stop by this hidden gem you’ll be so glad you did!!!!!

Although our party of 5 had lunch reservations for 1:30 Easter Sunday, we arrived to a closed restaurant.You would think if the restaurant was not busy or just decided to close that they would have extended a simple courtesy of calling me to explain that our reservation would not be supported. Fortunately I live close to the location and didn’t battle traffic to arrive; still disappointing.

I understand the other reviews about the slow service. That could use some work. However, I think it is because they are short-staffed. Then environment is very nice and honestly probably one of the best blackened grouper sandwiches I’ve had. Our server Vincente was awesome. He was very fast with drinks. I would definitely go back again.

This is a nice spot but we made a reservation for 11 and they were not prepared. They had one staff for the entire place. It’s was too much for one person. The price for food and the amount you get was not worth it. I got the grouper sandwich and the fish was about a 1/4 of the bun. I was disappointed.

One waiter who also bussed. He was great and friendly. Hilton should be ashamed to overwork staff and cause guests to wait
