    The staff was very nice but has no control over the menu or food preparation. The kitchen was very slow, which it always was. So slow, the man at a table next to us walked back there to complain. The holiday limited menu didn't have old fashioned turkey, maybe not enough interest. I ordered medium rare prime rib that was served medium almost medium well. The asparagus and hollandaise sauce covered half of the prime rib, The was no horseradish sauce or au jus, only sauce that I thought was sweet. After the slow kitchen, I wasn't going to send it back. My wife had the fish which was also over-cooked, but the vegetable on both of our plates were excellent. $95 prime rib is in our budget, but it was not a value. We stayed at the hotel and it is beautiful, staff gracious, and the food was excellent (moules-frites were the best I've had in along time). We'll be back next year, but we'll eat at another restaurant on Christmas night.

    We went to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations. About 7 or 8 tables of the maybe 20 tables in the restaurant were being used so not even half full. It took forever for someone to come and take our drink order. And it took forever for the drinks to be served. My martini glass was only half full when it was served. Did most of it spill? And the olives I requested were at the bottom of the glass - no toothpick. Had to get them out with my fingers. Salads were good. Steak and mashed potatoes came - both at room temp. Had to ask for a steak knife. Asked to have the potatoes reheated. The bowl was hot when the potatoes were returned but the potatoes were still at room temp. Didn't send semi warm steak back - thought I might not ever get it back if I did. Bouillabaisse was good but no seafood cocktail forks were available nor did they bring a bowl for the empty shells. Had to go to the bar to get the wine we ordered. It never did show up because they lost the order. The food tasted good but the service was a disaster. The servers were very nice and polite but it seems like the restaurant was very understaffed or the people were not trained to serve. The manager apologized and did comp things but this is a hotel restaurant and not at all that busy so things should have been better. The evening was very disappointing.

    Unfortunately Reodney’s was closed. They have decreased the days they are open. HOWEVER, THEY HAD NOT NOTIFIED OPEN TABLE OF THESE CHANGES AND RESERVATIONS WERE BEING BOOKED. Very disappointing situation...

    Mediocre for the price. Good quality steak but dry. Whole red snapper had criss cross knife cuts, maybe to make it easy to eat off the bone, in fact it made it very hard as the fish was 20 small pieces.

    Name has changed, but food and service is impeccable. Everything on the menu was great, and our server helped us sort out our favorites (as well as getting every drink perfect at our table). Pork osoboco was an amazing crowd pleaser! Can't wait to go back!

    We waited for 1 hour 20 min to get our food. The waiter was way too busy and overwhelmed. When he first approached our table, he was panting and out of breath. Even though this restaurant takes reservations, the management did not adequately schedule the staff to handle the crowd. Because we ate dinner on the Fourth of July, I thought perhaps some of the staff called in sick....I asked this question and was told they were fully staffed for the evening. When we finally were served dinner it was absolutely awful....and I am not picky.....the food was literally terrible....

    Excellent steak; server was new and overworked. He functioned as host, bartender and wait staff. Too many tables to provide the detailed service needed. Nervous. Did not notice the finer details such as the table was not set for the number of people in the party, nor that the meal ordered required a steak knife. Hilton management trying to cut corners by not having enough wait staff on schedule for busy holiday weekend.

    Let’s start from the beginning of this 5-star experience. We arrived a few minutes after it reservation, but were still seated very quickly, even with the restaurant being full. The only hiccup here was that the hostess seemed flustered, uncomfortable and slightly overwhelmed (while this really didn’t negatively affect our experience this visit, I felt that it should be mentioned, and it is entirely possible that the construction on the property is causing this.) After we were seated, and waters poured, we were left to our own devices to go over the menu. Our server, Burton, stopped by to get a drink order started, and to let us know that he’d be back shortly to take our order, and even remembered we were here about 6 months ago. The attention to detail here is outstanding. After ordering, our food appeared very fast, and was delicious. Both my boyfriend and I ordered the Ribeye, he had the garlic potatoes and Brussels sprouts, I got the gingered vegetables and garlic potatoes as well. The steaks were cooked perfectly, potatoes seasoned beautifully and the vegetables were bright and flavourful. All together, each dish created a balanced flavour profile across the board. And their signature chocolate cake... to die for. It wasn’t nearly as loud as we thought it was going to be, as the dining room was full, the only change I would have made was raising the music volume just a hair, so that diners conversations could be obscured slightly from other tables nearby, but that’s really just nit picking on my part. Once again, our expectations were met and exceeded by the staff here at Rodney’s, especially by our server Burton. We can’t wait to come back and dine with you again!
