Ate here twice during my recent stay at the Millenium Hilton. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the Hilton. There is also a nice bar in the restaurant.
First time – had dinner, sat at the bar. Ordered their Churrasco Skirt Steak – medium well, which comes with three very large potato wedges with a nice crunchy coating, and some lightly charred, halved Brussel Sprouts, served with a side of some sort of Ailoi – plus a glass of water with a wedge of lemon – and a glass of Brooklyn Pilsner.
The steak was pretty tasty – although I would have preferred it to be a bit more well done. The potato wedges and the Brussel Sprouts were darn good! I love Brussel Sprouts and have never experienced them prepared in this fashion. I lightly dipped Aioli on the steak, potato wedges, and Brussel Sprouts.
Beer was enjoyable – I am not a fan of Pilsners per say, but I do get a kick out of trying locally brewed beers.
Ambiance was nice during dinner, some old-school Coltrane-ish jazz was playing low in the background,
Second time – I had breakfast. I opted for a light, healthy breakfast – a bowl of Special-K cereal, with chunks of strawberries and large blueberries, served with Skim Milk, and a cup of coffee.
The fruit was fresh and tasty! Good light breakfast and strong coffee!
If I had only eaten dinner here, I'd probably up the rating to four stars, however, the price I was charged for a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee seemed steep. I guess it is to be expected for a hotel in New York City. With tip: $16.33 for breakfast.
Cons:
– The bar has no beer chiller – thus you won't get a chilled glass for your beer – I asked!
– The milk served in my bowl of cereal was not as cold as I thought milk should be!
Service was decent.
First this was a good place for a business dinner. It was near Wall Street and City Hall as well as WTC. The service was excellent and we had a peaceful dinner, not rushed where we could all hear each other talk and complete business. Our starters were very good. And the dinner was fine. There are few places in the area for a decent business meal. At end of meal you could either go to the hotel room or back on public transportation and home.
I've had numerous 'business breakfasts' here over the years, and the food was excellent. Walked in for lunch this week, and it was empty. I stood for 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Then I was seated, after a water took an order for some soup and I waited for my colleague to come upstairs formt he lobby bar, I was approached by 4 different waiters, two of them took my menus when I said I was waiting for someone. It was just ridiculous and uncomfortable. So, the kicker was they don't serve Alcohol in the restaurant during lunch. What??? They also don't serve any bar food at the lobby bar. This is perplexing. On top of that , what I di order was plain jane bland, and about 80 bucks for squat. lunch, no breakfast, yes
While staying at the Hilton we stopped in for breakfast before a long day of being completely touristy. We really really should have walked around the block and picked up a coffee and bagel to go. The breakfast selection was overpriced and the buffet was $27 a person.
When you first sit down beware the server who offers coffee and juice – when you flip open your menu you'll see that basic orange juice in a small glass just cost you $6. We ordered the huevos rancheros and while not bad certainly weren't anything memorable.
The service was awful, beyond awful. I unfortunately was seated facing the wall therefore missing the heated argument between our server and another at their serving stand. Our server stopped by twice – to take our order, deliver it an ungodly amount of time later, and when we were long done we flagged him down for our check. He wasn't in the least bit friendly or even polite.
I wouldn't venture in there again or suggest it to anyone. It was by far the worst breakfast I've had at a hotel restaurant.
