1600 Grille - Houston

Located inside the hotel lobby I had the chance to go here for lunch. The food was well made and service was very good.

Great staff, very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options including an omelet bar.

Cough one to check. The food is good, but I feel like they have an opportunity to be great. I ordered the crab cake to start. The first problem was that the appetizer came at the same time as the main course. It upsets me, but on. The presentation was very good. The crab cakes were served with what I think was a sun-dried tomato sauce. The taste was ok, but I feel that if a powerful taste was introduced, it could really be a big dish. I guess what I'm saying is that the sun-dried tomatoes were a little weak for me. For the main course I had the Wagyu Mac and cheese. Again, the presentation was incredible. But the taste was a little boring again for me. Beef was my biggest disappointment. While it could have been wagyu, it tasted like dry roast beef. Very disappointing and I believe a missed opportunity to make this a great dish. Second question was that this should be a 5 cheese Mac and cheese. The cheese was just a cheese sauce. While there were 5 different cheeses in the sauce, the combined taste and texture was lost. Maybe a crumb cheese upstairs to break the texture taste? Anyway, the service was good. The ambience was good. The food was good. I'd like to see them become a great restaurant.

This place located inside the hilton at lobby level offers great buffet starting daily at 6 am with ample choices to pick from. They have croissants, oats, parafaits, scrambled eggs, chef prepared custom omelettes, sausages, bread pudding, fresh cut fruits, and a lot more. Staff working here is friendly, attentive and welcoming. Their buffet is a must if you are staying at hilton or not!

I’m still waiting for my meal, but this place is really cool. Open air and connected to the lobby of a very nice hotel. Very nicely decorated, including some vegetation, which provides some barrier to the lobby traffic.
