    We received poor service from the hostess upon arrival, with reservations we still had to wait to be seated with many open tables but we was seated at a table near the kitchen and after observing the staff we noticed that they cater to a certain race and it was obviously not our race. This was very disappointing because the Hilton brand usually doesn’t tolerate this type of behavior. Needless to say this was our first and last time at this restaurant. The property has way better choices to fine dine with welcoming staff.
