Every table has a city view at this glass-walled top-floor restaurant at the Hilton Americas Hotel. The French, Mediterranean and Asian fusion menu includes such dishes as wild mushroom ravioli, filet mignon and rock lobster salad. The extensive dessert tray features a chocolate hazelnut mousse with a perfect mix of smooth and crunchy textures.

From the moment that we got to the hotel everything went wrong. We had dinner reservations for a birthday celebration for 13 guests at 9:00pm, due to the valet (who wouldn't take our car) we were late 20 minutes. By the time we got up to the restaurant the manager was very rude and pushy, didn't give us any time to actually sit down and look at the menu and was constantly rushing us to order. The service was terrible, the wait staff was very unprofessional. The waiter didn't go over the specials and didn't even take our order (the manager did) and forgot to bring us bread. The menu doesn't give you much selection and the quality of the food is very poor. When we got our food, it tasted like it was old (the fish was not fresh) and it was prepared very poorly. When it was time to get our tab, it took forever and since we had a large party the 18% gratuity was already included. I figured that since our service was so bad that maybe the food would make up for it, but that was not the case. The only good thing that this restaurant has to offer is the good view. Other than that, I would not recommend this restaurant.

I’m surprised by all the reviewers who went here on their anniversaries and/or special occasions. I’m not sure if you guys noticed but this place is in a convention hotel. Not exactly the most romantic of settings. Anyways, I’ve been here a lot. I work out in the gym downstairs, and sometimes I grab a drink after my workout. As I mentioned the gym is downstairs on the 23rd floor, but the work out pool is actually on the same floor as the restaurant. You can actually see people swimming from the bar. Seeing some old geezer doing laps is not the most romantic view from the bar. Haha. As far as the food goes; it’s mostly a seafood menu, which is unfortunate for me because I don’t eat seafood but the steaks I’ve had have been good. All in all the food is okay, nothing spectacular. But the view makes up for the so-so food.
