Their tipping policy. Ugh. There is a 15% charge added and it’s all over the place about being a no tipping place. Check comes out with a gratuity spot that has been highlighted by the server. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. My food was not prepared correctly. The server by the name Martin had terrible customer service and communication skills. He showed no sense of concerns regarding the mistakes made in our order. The restaurant is placed in a parking lot with no scenic views. I need assistance in rebooting structure and was not supported. The parking attended people were so rude. I would not recommend this place. I honestly feel like me and my sister were being discriminated against.
FIVE on the HillResponded on May 14, 2025
We are truly sorry your birthday celebration was disappointing. We take your comments about the food preparation, service from Martin, the location, and your parking experience very seriously. We are concerned to hear about your feeling of discrimination, as this is not reflective of our values. Please be assured we are reviewing your concerns with our management team.

this is outdoors in a parking lot, they are bringing the food from the Hilton kitchen and by the time it gets to you its cold. I went because of an Instagram post and this did not meet the pictures/posts standards.
