   Very convenient while you are at the hotel. They were short staffed when we were there. There is a odd smell (dirty smell) that is unappetizing. But the sandwich was good.

   We ate there as it was next to Toyota center and we were going to concert. It is located in Hilton and disappointed that open table did not show dinner menu. Service was slow due to large concert crowd and short staff. Staff issue I am sure is related to shortage of workers all around and Covid. Mangers tried to help and they were professional.

   Chicken on blackened chicken club was cold and really salty. Burger was overdone and tough. Thought it was overpriced for the quality.

   We had a delightful dining experience before the concert at the Toyota Center. We appreciated the buffet option. It gave us a chance to taste many of the items on the menu and made for efficient use of everyone's time to get to the concert.

    Breakfast with Santa Santa is the most adorable Santa, he checks in kids, often in your table, ask them what do they want for Christmas, we took a bunch of pictures & had a good breakfast. The chocolate house is impressive and beautiful love the whole decoration and lights. Service amazing. The only issue is that we wanted to get a drink in the bar after breakfast and was closed I believe they open at 4 pm. Lol but everything was good.

    Had a 9AM Reservation for Breakfast with Santa. Checked in at desk at 8:55 AM. No table available. Had qutie a wait. Was told they were very busy. When finally called to be seated she said we were there early and that's why we had to wait.....so of course it was OUR fault they didn't have a table reserved.

    The Brunch buffet had all of the bases covered including breakfast items and dinner items. The quality and selection of entree and sides were plentiful and delicious. Our Server "Josett" was very friendly, attentive and professional. Overall, the ambiance, food presentation, waitstaff, soft music made for a very relaxing, enjoyable dinner.

    Enjoyed Thanksgiving Buffet at the restaurant. The hotel is beautiful as is the restaurant. For a vegetarian there were still enough selections that I did not go away hungry. The continuous Mimosa refills were satisfactory except they were made with prosecco instead of champagne which was expected. I was also annoyed that there was turkey in the Waldorf Salad, but maybe that's the way it is originally meant to be. I just never had it that way growing up. The only negative part if the experience was the valet parking fee which seems pricey. $50 plus a $10 tip for the driver almost matched the cost of the meal! I would prefer the hotel grind the parking fee into the cost of the buffet like their competitor down the street. You still pay for it, but don't face sticker shock on your way out the door. A disappointing end to an otherwise pleasant experience.

    Food was cold and not good. I had made reservations, and we were suppose to get a cake for a birthday we were celebrating. Food was cold and not good at all, even if it would have been hot! Didn’t see our waiter but twice, and never got the birthday cake. Definitely won’t be back! And was pricey!

    Valentine Dinner was delicious! They brought us champagne and chocolate strawberries when we arrived. My wife thought I set it up. The Braised Short Rib was great and my wife really enjoyed her steak. The dessert was so beautiful we didn’t want to eat it. Everyone was so friendly and happy to be there. We stayed at the hotel overnight and went back for breakfast in the morning it was another great experience. We had a great Valentine Day weekend we will be coming back again.

    Bringing an important client to lunch at this restaurant I was very disappointed in the lack of attentiveness, the time it took to get our food and the fact our meal was barely warm. Our server did say the kitchen was shorthanded but it was obvious there were more problems than that. Lesson learned about eating at this restaurant.

    I would recommend this place, but NOT for a group... The communication between staff members is very slow/nonexistent, and our food took a very long time to arrive... so it was room temp or cold. Trying to split the bill was extremely difficult, and AWKWARD. The entire bill was given to one of my guests without any conversation prior to determine how we would like to pay. Brunch took 2 hrs and we didn't even order alcohol, appetizers, or anything complicated... some guests had to just up and leave because we didn't know when someone would come back to help us! You're better off going here with just another person or a 4 top. 6 people get a pretty conference looking room, but you definitely won't feel like they want you there.

    New Year’s Eve- the services were amazing but the service was slow. I gathered they were short handed. Cocktails took over 30 minutes and appetizers were 45. The restaurant was not busy at the time we dined. I’ve dined there before and this was a unique situation. The staff, however, always makes up for it.

    It was great for a special occasion. There was a special section of gluten free bread, which was appreciated. Service was good and the decor was beautiful. However, when we parked the valet told us we’d get reimbursed for parking. The restaurant wouldn’t honor it, and it was $20 for an hour. That feels ridiculous.

    It was a Merry Christmas event! Staff was tired but they treated the guests as royalty. We truly enjoyed the Christmas Buffet and the ambience of the restaurant. The made to order omelette station was perfect and quick. The Caramel Bread pudding was like no other. Mini waffles were hard but edible. Service staff was great. The price was just right. Wouldn’t mind doing it again!

    Excellent food and impeccable service! And I was told by staff that they will validate your self parking (valet doesn’t qualify) if you dine in the restaurant and ask to have it validated. This of course could change so call and ask before you go but that was the case when I was there. We went for breakfast with Santa and it was a fantastic experience. We usually go to the downtown aquarium for their breakfast with Santa but it was fully booked when I tried to make a reservation so we went here instead. I’m glad we did! The food was good, every staff person I came into contact with was professional, polite and extremely service oriented and the decorations on the entire first floor was beautiful and elaborate. I liked how Santa was walking around visiting tables and I also liked how the atmosphere was much less chaotic than the Santa event at the aquarium. I also liked how they offered cookie decorating and apple cider at no extra charge. We’ll do doing breakfast with Santa again at this Hilton for sure!

    This was our second time dining at this restaurant. Initially I thought I was booking a new place to try, but when we got there I remembered we had dined there before going to a concert at the Toyota Center. They have both buffet and menu dining choices. We wanted to try the menu options this time, but after waiting quite a long time for our server to take our order, my wife and daughter finally gave up and went for the buffet. I mentioned to the waiter I still wanted to order from the menu, after he noticed that two of us were eating the buffet options. But it was quite a while before he returned to take my order. I tried the Braised Short Rib Mac & Cheese. The beef was tender and well seasoned and the mac and cheese was well prepared and tasted good. I never got the second drink I ordered. I suppose since the big cheerleading event was next door at the Toyota Center (State Finals perhaps?) the server thought we were just there for the event and therefore didn't need to receive quality service since we would never return. Our first experience at this restaurant almost a year prior, both the service and food were recommendable. This time only the food is recommendable, the service was terrible.

    Firstly, they don't valet park for restaurant patrons, which we didn't know. We had to scramble to find a parking lot close by and then run for it so we didn't lose our reservation. It took probably 20 minutes or so before we received our drink orders. Then, they took 45 minutes to bring one person their food, who then had to wolf it down in order to make our concert time. They did comp that person their food, but it still left a bad taste in the mouth. It was a charcuterie board. How long could it take to make that?? The food was okay, nothing to write home about, but satisfactory. I think the ideal solution is to do the buffet. They didn't seem to be that busy, but it definitely wasn't running smoothly. We'll try another restaurant next time.
