    Quick recap: - Food: Mediocre - Portion size: Average - Service: Slow - Environment: average hotel restaurant - $: High - Perks: N/A More details: I went there for dinner twice. Had a House salad ($9) - average and a Caesar salad with chicken ($18) - average. The food is average at best. The portion sizes are average. The presentation is mediocre. The staff was nice but super slow. Overall? Mediocre food. Nice staff. Slow. Overpriced. Would only go if I did not have another option, plus the room service has a different menu....

    Located at the Hilton in East Brunswick this is where you have breakfast at the hotel as well as lunch or dinner. The service is spotty depending on when you come. I came for lunch and had the caesar salad with chicken. It was massively overdressed but the chicken was cooked nice. Overdressing a salad is a fundamental reason why a lot of salads are not very good. I also started with the cream of mushroom soup. It had a bold mushroom flavor and a creaminess to it that hit the spot. This is not my favorite type of soup but was surprised by it in a good way. This isn't 5 star dining and so don't expect that. When you are stuck at the hotel with no other options give it a try. It will fill you up at a good price. Hotel food usually stinks anyway but this one is edible.

    This place inside the Hilton East Brunswick is an adequate choice for a meal. If you are staying at the Hilton, it is quite convenient. I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express and this was still the only walkable option for me in this ex-urban location. This restaurant is rather typical of scaled-up hotel restaurants in that it is slightly overpriced and, at the same time, somewhat lower in quality. I would, again, use the word adequate. I had two appetizers including a salad and the Acapulco Shrimp. Both were pretty good and I especially enjoyed the shrimp. The service was actually good and I had no complaints about that aspect. But the bill with food, drink, tax and tip was over $30. It was a below-average value in my estimation when all was said and done. All things considered, I think a 3-star rating is fair as this place is really one either for those wanting convenience or who are a "captive audience".

I've been here twice with groups of 6. We've ordered everything from the burgers, to the chicken sandwiches and fish and chips. I ordered a Chicken Caprese sandwich and I enjoyed it the first time. The 2nd time I ordered the Veggie Wrap which I decided to turn into a sandwich. That didn't work so well. The burgers were good too. The items all had the option of fries or salad. All the food was good, except the fish and chips was batter and very little fish. The old school ambiance is really nice. The restaurant has an upstairs and downstairs dining area, each with its own bar. If in the area for a show, Tavern on the George has it down to a science getting all the groups in and out in time. Although, the food is nothing special, I'd come here again.

One very interesting dish I hadn't thought of was the chicken pot pie, which sounds very pedestrian, but wait until you see it. Amazing. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and it tasted every bit as good as it's picture-perfect looks. Superb service, plus literally everything that came to the table looked like a magazine picture. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Over time, I've noticed a clear decline in quality at the New Brunswick location. In contrast, the Hillsborough location has remained relatively consistent, which makes the difference even more noticeable. To be fair, I'm willing to give a pass on the slower service during this visit since we were seated outside and it seemed like they may not have been fully staffed for that area. That said, the bigger issue was the food. We ordered ravioli and chicken parm with pasta. The ravioli sauce was extremely watery, to the point where it resembled soup rather than a proper sauce. The chicken parm was overcooked, as was the pasta. It's disappointing to say, but based on this experience and the overall downward trend, I don't see myself returning to this location anytime soon.

So how did I wind up back here? Bit of a story but if you read my first review you'll see how I met a friend that I met online 13 years ago for the first time and this was the place we went for dinner after an event. Well, now a year later, her and I were traveling together north to Parsippany and this was the closest restaurant that looked appealing. It was not until we enter the parking lot I said out loud, this is where we had our first dinner. Anyways, enough of that love story. I really want to give this two stars for service but the food really pushed it over the top. So all in all I will keep it as a four star review. I want to address the food first, I had the short rib tacos, and my partner had eggplant caprice flatbread. I had a bite of hers which I absolutely enjoyed, eggplant had a nice crisp to it which really made it enjoyable. The short rib tacos... holy crap! Mind blown. I did not expect such great flavor in such a small bite. Everything about the tacos packed a punch. I would much rather have had six tacos and no chips and salsa. As for the service, this is where I got frustrated and my cash tip hopefully reconcile with my server. We dined on the rooftop which was completely empty minus a couple at the bar. We seated and ordered our beverages. I did not get my lime with my lemon water. After we ordered our meals, and received them, a server never came back to check in with us. I wasn't a big fan of her attitud either. It started to get busy I noticed that the host kept seating everyone around us when there was an entire floor to sit people at. Not sure if they're trying to keep people in one specific area but for how slow it was they certainly could've given everyone more privacy. I'm pretty sure the couple that was seated next to us got up and left for that reason. Cannot say I will not be back but who knows when I'll be traveling through again.
