Great American Grill At The Hilton Garden Inn Auburn Riverwatch

My husband and I ate here during Maine Restaurant. We each ordered off their 3 Course ME Restaurant Week Menu. What a disapointment. My fish (in the fish and chips) was gross and cooked poorly. The crust was a soggy thick dough that was undercooked and not crispy what-so-ever. It tasted like they didnt know the proper batter ratio and it was fried in oil that wasn't hot enough. I sent it back and my second one was better but still not that good and the crust was still too thick and not crispy. My dessert of bread pudding was so gross it was inedible. It tasted like butane. Like a chemical leaked from the pan or oven it was cooked in on it. My husband's appetizer of pork dumplings were very plain. The sauce they were served with tasted like it was strait from a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce.The rest of the meal was okay to not very good. I would not recommend this place for Maine Restaurant Week. It's too bad it was so blah or I would of liked to try it again. Other items on their menu sounded like they had potential.

Got here just before closing and was welcomed enthusiastically. Great bartender who served me at a table and kept up with bar patrons and other tables as well. They had a two patty duck burger on special. Best $17 I ever spent. Located in hotel lobby, will definitely return when in the area.

Loved the staff, they're attentive, kind, helpful and friendly ? ?

Possibly the best hotel restaurant I've ever eaten at. Small menu, amazing food

Blonde bartender extremely rude/unprofessional. Worst dining experience to date.
