    Chicken Wings, BBQ.
    Brian E.

    I've stayed at the hotel a couple times since it is right by our U.S. office. The food is always good to very good. I've tried the Edgewater Burger which is good, I've had it twice. Both times it was cooked as requested. The bun is nice and butternut and crispy. I tried the pizza, it's decent pizza, nothing amazing, but I doubt you'd get it and think it was bad. The crust was good, very crisp and the pizza is light with a little crisp to the dough, definitely not soggy. I had the French onion soup.... Unimpressed. I may be a French onion snob as I've been lucky to travel around the country and tried numerous soups (including in France). This was very average, I like the bread to be a little crispy, this was soggy, and the cheese, once I pushed into the soup. It all kind of gelled together. Like you can't get bites with other parts of the soup. I was literally using my knife to try and cut it apart so I could eat it in pieces and not one huge chunk. But it became too tedious and eventually I had to eat the cheese all together. I really liked the chicken wings, cooked well, I really enjoyed the bbq sauce. The wings are by far my favorite. As I have to come here multiple times a year to visit our office. I'm sure I'll try more food. For a hotel restaurant, it's pretty good.

    I have not been here since before COVID today was a great. Example Of why I returned the food was amazing. The service was awesome.

    Great ambience. Waiters were very friendly and helpful. The wings and seafood hush puppies were awesome too.

    Formerly known as Lakefront, this is the main restaurant in the Hilton at University Place. We had a coupon for Lakefront we wanted to use so we drove over after Church today for brunch. Very spacious and well appointed. It reminds me a lot of the Hyatt in Marietta Ga with it's glass wall and view of the Japanese Garden. Does not have a Japanese Garden but does have a beautiful view of a Lake and artificial waterfalls. My wife ordered a Steak Salad. Actually there are serveral salads available and you can get steak or chicken or other items added. She also ordered a side of seasonal fruits which for a change, was something more that just mellon. I had a shrimp Po Boy that except for being a bit overcooked was excellent. My side was a simple salad which was anything except simple with a pretora of mixed greens, tomotoes, pickles etc. It was so hugh I could not eat all of it. Service was outstanding from start to finish and I have to give high marks to the entire staff. Outstanding Lunch and by the way, they did honor the coupon we had even though it's no longer Lakefront. We definately be back and may try and get there early enough for the breakfast buffet.

    We were about the only people in the restaurant, a group of a dozen, there for my cousin's birthday. The service was so slow and I don't think the server was very competent or must have been new. The manager had to help her. The food was delicious, and everyone else agrees! However, it took a while for the food to come out, and then everyone got their food at different times within a 15-20 minute period. My aunt did not receive her soup at all. The tea tasted like a powder mix. My aunt ordered two bottles of champagne and they brought about 5 mini bottles out which we thought was weird. It took 30 minutes for our server to sort checks even though they wrote down our order based on who was on separate checks. I might dine here again, but highly doubt it.

    Excellent meat and cheese board. It is a fine assortment of artisanal Cheese and meats.

    Bruschetta to go
    Michelle L.

    I LOVE the breakfast buffet here! They have biscuits and gravy, turkey sausage, bacon, fluffy eggs, potatoes, hash browns, hot cakes (or french toast or waffles), fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, cereal, AND an omelet station! Pick your ingredients and the cook will make you a delicious omelet, and they can even cook with egg whites if you prefer. LOVE that they have smoked salmon as well! I ordered a breakfast sandwich off the menu once too; I got the croissant sandwich which came with eggs, pesto, bacon, tomato, and spinach. It comes wide a side of hash browns and fresh fruit. The restaurant itself sits right on the lake, and has a fairly large dining area. The bar is a separate room but also considered part of the restaurant. For dinner one evening, my coworkers and I ordered the hush puppies, nachos, and bruschetta. All dishes were alright but nothing special. Breakfast alone is 5 stars, the rest is about average. Definitely would recommend this place for breakfast!

    Shrimp & Grits (small size for $13)
    Norm J.

    Since this restaurant was in the hotel I was staying at while in Charlotte; I opted on dining here two of the three nights of my stay. I have to stay that the service here was top notch. The bartenders were personable, chatty (but not in an annoying way) and gave me good menu recommendations. Each time I dined here I had the seafood hushpuppies which were delicious (5 stars). The shrimp & grits were a stomach pleaser and the half portion was huge for only $13 (4 stars). The short rib and mac & cheese was a miss because while the mac &a cheese was 4 stars the short rib was 1 star which brought this entree overall down to (2.5 stars). If you are staying at this hotel I do recommend dining here, but skip the short rib dish!

    Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert
    Alyssa C.

    I really loved the Lakefront Restaurant. I used a Verizon rewards coupon for buy one get one free dinner entrees. I ordered the turkey sandwich and was more than satisfied by their guacamole and thick slices of turkey on the sandwich. The fries were also very fresh tasting. My boyfriend ordered the hangover burger that came with bacon, onions, cheese, and egg and enjoyed it as well. We both brought home to-go boxes with about half of our meal. We sat right by the window and had a great view of the boardwalk and lake. Lastly, the chocolate cake (order with ice cream!) for dessert was simply delicious- moist and sweet. My only complaint is the gap in serving times; this was our second attempt at dining here because the first time I did not realize that lunch was served until 2 or 3 and dinner didn't start until 5 and we came around 4. I cannot wait to go back and try the breakfast buffet!

    Look up this date and read my review.

    Food was mediocre. Service was good. However, I was disturbed by the way my French fries were served. It came in a paper wrapping in a metal coil. Sounds innocuous. The wrapper is a facsimile of a newspaper dated May 17, 1861. I will post a photograph of it. This is a quote from thecivilwarproject.com regarding that date: "Confederate President Jefferson Davis signs a bill to bring North Carolina into the Confederacy if its citizens vote to secede and support the Confederate Constitution." Is this a coincidence? Either way I was not amused. Make of it what you will.

    A nice little bar located inside the Hilton Hotel. Just slide on in from the Boardwalk and grab a cocktail. Bartender was very nice and friendly. Plenty of seating and TV's.

There was a chess club going on and then later in the evening they hosted music bingo, so they definitely have a good lineup of regular activities going on.

You get a choice of sides, and we tried the Mexican street corn salad and the Mac and cheese. I wasn't a huge fan of the corn salad. It was served cold, but I wasn't really a fan of the taste. The Mac and cheese looked creamy and gooey and was told it was really good. Next time I will order a different side. The atmosphere here is bright and lively with a nice view of the water where you can take paddle boat rides. People love to walk over here, so it is nice to have an open view. The restaurant has a tiki bar vibe and has surfing theme throughout the place. Really fun and relaxing.

The young man working tonight is representing you all as the face of your business, and he did a horrendous job. One of the worst attitudes I've ever some across and if ppl are going for true Chicago authenticity, he's definitely got it. Thought I was ordering Italian Fiesta off 71st (IYKYK). If buddy doesn't want to work there, yall should let him go. If it weren't for the fact I desparately wanted a taste of home, I would've walked out and not made an order at all. Businesses thrive thru word of mouth, and he is the type to get the wrong mouths speaking. I got a better welcome and hospitality from the DJ, and that's an insane statement to have to make. As a fellow Chicagoan, I was super excited about this place - didn't even look at reviews because I only trust the palate of fellow Chicagoans. I walked in and stood at the register at the "wait to be seated" sign, and behind it was a young man wrapping silverware. This man looked at me come in (we made eye contact, check your cameras) and still made me wait SEVERAL MINUTES until HE WAS READY to speak. He walks over and literally whispers "You wna place an order?" That's it. Just like that. Theres a DJ literally right behind us at the entrance so I asked him to repeat what he said and leaned in closer to hear him. He whispered it again and I had to lean in closer to hear him. Every single question he asked, he whispered it knowing full well I could not hear him and he made ZERO EFFORT to pipe up. I was damn near behind the register with how far I had to lean in to hear him. It was absolutely without a doubt intentional. What an attitude. Wow. I place my order and see yall charge a 15% gratuity for take out orders. That's insane. Food was decent but yall are cheap on the mild sauce. I had a little bit on my chicken (not even covering it), and none on the fries. HUH???? Yall want ppl to come back and tell their friends about this place, right? Cuz it doesn't seem like it. PUT THE MILD SAUCE ON THE FRIES. As aforementioned, if that young man does not want to work there, then yall need to let him go. He is not a good representation of your business, as the rest of your staff was incredibly nice. Not every person he encounters will be from the Carolinas and carry that southern hospitality with them. It took everything in my soul to not act up in yall's beautiful restaurant, but his behavior is totally unacceptable. Disgusting, truly. I'm gna change my profile picture on here because I'll be back for the pizza puff, and I want him to know it was me who did this review.
