    Table service inattentive throughout. Entre and main lovely. But $25 affogato used softserve ice cream! Should be vanilla bean at these prices. Overall, promises much but delivers less. It’s a shame!

    A few things went wrong with the food and bill (we were overcharged and also served items that we didn’t request) but overall the service and ambience was lovely.

    The last visit before Luke handed the key back to Hilton at end of Dec. The sourdough crumpet is something we haven’t tried in our previous visits and my partner just love it. Luke’s signature crab omelette is as good as always. However the squid is a bit too plain in taste and too soft in texture. The snapper and fillet are both brilliant but I personally like the snapper better; the sauce is just beautiful. And the liquorice dessert is definitely my voted dish of the night. Professional attentive service. Yes we know Glass will still be around but it won’t be the same.

    Great lunch from the wine bar menu. Service, ambience and food very good. Only thing I would have wanted was a choice of more than one dessert.

    This is generally a fabulous restaurant. Unfortunately on this occassion we were very disappointed. We were charged for a bottle of very expensive wine that upon tasting we immediately said was not right. Wrong food orders. Wait staff were however fabulous.

    Disappointed. Table was wobbly and had a cork placed under it, which kept falling out. I had to keep getting up and touching a dirty cork and replacing it. Staff seemed disinterested in changing tables. Tables placed so closely together that the gentleman next to me would have been no more than shoulder width away. Therefore no privacy in our conversations whatsoever. Pork cutlet was dry. Steak and mash was very good. At a wine bar I would have expected to still taste the wine prior to the pour even if just buying by the glass. After our meal the people next to us left. The head waiter came over and started spraying the table with spray and wipe which also sprayed onto our table - luckily we had finished eating. We stayed at the Hilton and chose to eat at the restaurant based on reputation and our love of wine. However, we won’t be back for the wine, food or service.

    Beautiful experience. The staff were amazing. Very attentive without being in your face. Food and wine amazing. It was very noisy but understand it is Christmas. Also what a venue and our view was stunning. Nothing like our beautiful Queen Victoria building.
