   Server was not pleasant at all. Acted like he didn’t want to be there and anything we asked for was a “bother” - also food was not good. Ordered the Delmonico steak and sent back twice - ordered “medium” and first one was well done, and the second one came out raw in the middle. We were literally the only diners in the restaurant so they should have been able to cook a single steak correctly. Ended up just having the burger which was plain and basic. My companion had the Philly cheesesteak, came out with a greasy roll. All in all the only thing that was good about this restaurant was the view of the water.

   The service was really good, the waiter was polite and attentive. The food was on the salty side, so if you love salty food and fantastic service this is the place to go.

   Waiter was attentive, but restaurant wasn't full. Steak was good, asparagus was way over cooked- mushy. Menu advertised red potatoes. They were more likely white russet, they were tasty but looked more like breakfast potatoes than what I'd expect for dinner. Chocolate desserts looked great, tasted just okay.

   We had an early Saturday evening reservation and were given a roomy table with a wonderful water view. Our server was prompt and attentive, and we never felt rushed. The fish and chips were perfect and the cheesesteak was huge and delicious. We shared the triple chocolate cake for dessert and agreed it was a great choice.

    An elegant restaurant but not over priced. I had the mini crab cakes and my husband had the salmon. Both entrees were perfectly portioned and superior in taste. We did share a Caesar salad prior to our dinners coming out which was very fresh. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. I will definately go back during this Christmas season as the location is right next to the Winter Wonderland/Fest.

    Horrible. Being located at the Hilton I assumed this would be a 4-star experience, at least. The menu is ridiculously small with only two items on the kids menu, to which the server noted that there were no exceptions to accommodate food issues for my son. The only thing positive is that the waiter eventually agreed to making me a cheeseburger without the burger which was my attempt to create something off the menu for my 6-year-old resembling a grilled cheese. With little to choose from I ordered shrimp which were severely undercooked and a salad which came out with warm lettuce. For 3 people I spent over $100 for a meal that was barely edible. My family ate a few french fries and relied on junk food from the “gift shop” and a late night pizza delivery to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I rarely write reviews and decided to take the time on this one to prevent others from making the same mistake I did - especially for a special event.

    Though the service was great, the food was horrible. The fish and chips were basically made from frozen fish and was tough and tasteless. The menu stated it came with a homemade lemon tartar sauce, we were given pre packaged tartar sauce. The food was not good and my family and I will definitely not be returning.

    The online menu was greatly reduced. The salmon on the menu did NOT state it was served with a mustard sauce. It was an extremely heavy and grainy mustard sauce and it overflowed onto the vegetables which was gross!

    Staying at the hotel, I was looking for something on site and found this amazing gem. Our waitress, Jackie, was just super awesome! She was friendly and attentive. Great person who made us laugh. The food was so fresh and also phenomenal. The triple chocolate cake was to die for. Yummmmmm! Thanks!

    They were only open in the bar area because of the virus, so we didn't get to sit in the restaurant itself. The bar area was comfortable, and the main restaurant looked good as well. We would had sat outside for the water view, but it was too chilly. The menu was limited, again (I think) because of the virus. But what we had was excellent (double filet and crab cakes). They were very accommodating, brought me a double filet which wasn't on the menu. The bartender made a perfect manhattan, and the wines by the glass were reasonably priced and good. The bartender and manager (the only two working in the front) were great. The manager went so far as to chase me down near the garage when I left my credit card on the table. My only complaint is the parking charge - $18 for a couple of hours, really??

    Our server was great and so was the hostess. The issue was the menu was extremely limited but they didn’t state that on line. The food they did serve didn’t provide enough variety. They served on plastic plates with plastic ware. Also the prices for what they did serve was way too high. They only served bottled/canned everything even mixed drinks were in cans. Dessert wasn’t an option and being sine it was my birthday I was going to indulge. I get we are in a pandemic but had they updated the menu I would have gone somewhere else.

    Restricted menu due to covid. What you see online is not what you get. They serve the food on plastic plates with plastic knives and forks. Cocktails came in a can. The only thing that saved it was the server I had. He was lovely and apologised for the poor food. 100% would not recommend until they offer a full menu!!

    Great location at spruce street park. Im aware it is connected to the Hilton hotel but was not expecting hotel food and mini fridge drinks. Overall I was not disappointed but my expectations were way higher. Served small "airplane" style drinks similar to what you would take out of a mini fridge hotel. Requested waters and they charge 2.75 for a bottle of water is ridiculous. Food was average at best. If this did not have the location that it did I would not recommend to others.

    The menu you see online and on OpenTable is false - this "restaurant" is really just attached to a hotel. I planned a birthday dinner with my girlfriend here, and when we arrived, no one greeted us for about 10 minutes. Finally someone came to the host stand, and when I told the man we had a reservation, he didn't check a computer or anything - just grabbed two menus and started walking. When we sat down and saw the menu, it was completely minimalized and didn't include any of the nice entrees that appeared on the online menu. Our waiter told us that they had to cut back because of COVID-19, which is understandable, but at least reflect that online. We left and went to another restaurant down the street called Panorama, and had an excellent experience.

    Food was acceptable but no value was there. 2 people apps, 1 drink was $130 without tip. The restaurant was near the lobby. The guitar player in lobby had his amp set to such a high volume we could not have a conversation. Would not reccomend.

    I'm not sure if I recommend this place or not. The atmosphere and location is very nice. Being on the river ads to the overall experience. The food on the other hand was just okay. I expected more from a place like this. My wife had the crab cakes and they were average at best. I had salmon and it just like level of flavor that I thought that dish should have. Overall an okay place to sit down and enjoying a meal but I think there is much better value elsewhere.
