The service was horrendous. They can clearly see us waiting to be seated because we didn’t know it was open seating. So we had to chase down the bartender to ask. They could’ve told us it was open seating once they saw us to save us the time to ask. Secondly, we waited 20 mins before we chased down another server just for the check and to go containers. Our server didn’t bring us a bag so we asked for one. He forgot. We asked the male bartender and he ignored us. And we asked the female bartender that we are running late, our Uber is here to pick us up, and we asked for a to go bag three different times now and we just need some service. She gave me attitude and said “you didn’t ask me.” I know i didn’t ask specifically you, but I asked your colleagues three different times. At least take some responsibility as part of the team and maybe help me find someone that can assistance me? Wow. The whole crew needs to be retrained. They refused to even acknowledge you or look at your table to check to see how you’re doing. I was ignored the entire time from beginning to end. By far the worst dine in service I had ever received. I never write bad reviews but I walked out angry, frustrated,...
Read moreIn the Hilton Inn hotel lobby, I was greeted by a very friendly host and presented with the specials right away (during menu browsing) in the hotel lobby area. I was then seated by the host quickly, and after he waited on me (unexpected but appreciated due to speed of service), he brought me a list of 8 local pubs/restaurants without prompting - excellent customer service! Very impressed - thanks John!
His recommendation of mint lamb chops were on point with flavor! I was very impressed to taste such a strong mint, which is exactly how I like my lamb - minty... but 3 of the lamb chops were a bit overcooked, while one of the four were undercooked. Minus one star from the inconsistency of cooking.
Their calamari was fairly well seasoned, but the best part was the shrimp and peppers - a lovely heat to them. The sauce is actually mustard base, which is an interesting flavor combination with the seafood. I wouldn't have done the cheese, and it was a bit greasy.. I approve though - kudos for trying something new!
Their wine list was just enough for me. I enjoyed it, great Cabernet. Overall, definitely would recommend this place and...
Read moreWe were at DCA for a Sunday evening flight and it was cancelled. We arrived at this Hilton hotel around 9:30pm and were pretty tired so we decided to have dinner at this place. The kitchen was only open until 10:00pm. The server in the restaurant was a nice and friendly guy. We both ordered a chicken quesadilla and I also ordered a Caesar salad. The salad was ok but the chicken quesadilla was a very average one, I thought it would be better. We also each had a Solarium martini which had a Lychee liquor in it and was really good. The bill came to over $106.00. This meal was definitely not worth paying that price. Luckily my Hilton Diamond status covered $36.00 of that $106. We did not eat dinner at this place again the second night and if I stay at this Hilton again, I’ll only have drinks at...
