We went down to get supper around 8pm. There was only 1 waiter working but he did great. Super friendly and attentive. Food was custom designed by the in house chef and it was delicious. We got the pan seared tajin salmon ($29) and the grilled marinated flat iron steak ($34). Both came with veggies and potatoes. We also ordered desserts to go to take up to our room and they provided silverware and napkins.

I never thought I’d give a hotel restaurant 5 stars for a meal but omg was this omelet incredible. Highly recommended, they home make their salsa, and my server was right when she said it was delicious. I liked that the serving was large but not so massive. A bit pricey but the convenience and the taste were worth it.

I get the flat iron steak every time I'm here and it never disappoints. The service is always excellent. The quesadillas are also very good.

Verde Kitchen and Bar is located inside the Hilton Garden Inn. They offer a variety of breakfast options in the morning and a good menu for small meals in the evening. The bar is full service but has limited options for mixed drinks or beer varieties after 5:00pm. It's a good place to grab something to eat or pick up a drink to take to the room before 10:00pm.

We ordered dinner at 9 pm as we got into town late. We got the steak and the fish tacos. Both were nicely boxed up for us as we wanted to eat in our room. Both meals were very good. The fish tacos were huge! We also got the chocolate lava cake and the apple pie, both delicious. The bartender who took our order was very friendly.

Looks like a nice hotel restaurant. I didn’t actually eat there but the looks and seats are nice.
