   Christian James is under transition by Hilton. They do not have the staff to accommodate dinner. Do not make reservations or dine here. It’s fine for a drink or a quick bite. Otherwise make alternate plans.

   Long wait to be greeted once we walked in even with a reservation. I still had to wait a while for a table. Another long wait for a server to take our order. Food came cold after a long wait on top of running out of steak after our order was already placed.

   Overall service was slow, waiter did not return to fill up water glass. Appetizer came out after the meal came out. Wine was ordered and showed up 30 minutes after we ordered a glass of wine.

   Poor service and a lack lust meal made for a not so good first experience. First the bread was not soft, the chicken for my wife's salad was so dry it was hard. My salmon was the must redeeming feature of the meal with the risotto been a bit under done. It was valentines day and i only remember seeing one server and that may explain the poor service with the lack of filling water glass or a check up. However i still blame the restaurant for being under staff on a day that many will want to have a great experience. We don't plan on giving them another chance.

   We had dined here previously and found it to be excellent. However the restaurant was bought out by the hotel. Not remotely the same experience. VERY limited menu, not what is listed on the current website. Food is extremely overpriced for the quality. Very unfortunate change.

   Unfortunately! Our service was not good. We were seated on the second level where the bar is. It took 20 minutes before someone to came to the table to offer drinks. Food came out slow. The quality of the food was not worth the price. Fortunately! The ladies(3 all together) were great.

    Started typing my review and there is a word limit so will be more concise. Don’t recommend this restaurant. Food was okay but not spectacular as the price would tell you. Went for new year eve dinner and i feel like it was ruined. Fire alarm going off. Took 15 mins after taking our seats to be acknowledged by a person for water mind you that person was the hostess not waitress. Never saw a waitress that night! Got a 10% discount but should have been more honestly. We were there for hours and only got 1 drink each and an entree. Wanted more but service was horrible did not. Met the dishwasher when he came to get our plates so he could go home. Took forever to get the bill, honestly we shouldn’t have gotten a bill and probably should have walked out with how long it took. Never saw the waitress but did hear someone I’m assuming is the waitress yell that she was clocking out. Not sure what is going on and how they can remedy it but will not be back.
