    Wonderful service by Stephen. The bar was backed up a bit so arrival of drinks were slow. Fish special for two was recommended and it was delicious but not worth the price; would have been better with individual entrees. Great setting.

    While the service was amazing and ambience was lovely, the portion sizing was lackluster. The appetizers were not shareable sizes. The table we were seated at was quite wide and made it difficult to speak to one another. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience.

    Stayed at the Conrad Hilton and had some lite bites and breakfast for several days. Service was good. Food was ok with very limited choices but extravagantly priced. Not worth it even pretending that the Conrad is allegedly a luxury property and I’m a Hilton Diamond member.

    Drinks took such a long time definitely took away from the overall Experience. 30 minutes for each martini to get to table. Food was great. Service very slow
