   We had a party of 7. Only 3 of the 7 had food come out that was the correct serving temperature, properly cooked and delicious. We waited 45 minutes to be set for our reservation. Once seated it was a solid 30 minutes to get water and didn’t get any drinks or order taken until almost an hour from being seated. Drinks were good, but took a very long time to get. Half of the table got food and finally 30 minutes later the waitress came back to check on us and noticed we were missing entrees. We expressed concerns about the taste and quality of food with no corrections offered , just that they were really busy, which was far from true ( more empty tables than full) being a larger group gratuity was added. Which usually is not an issue at all, but considering the unconcerned waitress getting an automatic tip of about $150 the level of service could have been more attentive. We had people in our party who don’t get to eat at nice places frequently and having to pay full price for food they couldn’t even eat because of charred meat and dried out pasta was very disappointing and a waste of their hard earned money. I’m not sure what has happen over the last year, but the quality is not there. We use to look forward to meals here and will not be back.

   I so wish I could give a higher score but the server service was subpar at best. Great view, the hamburger and steak sandwich were both absolutely delicious but our server acted like she was bothered when we asked for something - very off putting!

   Lovely view with good food and drinks. Once construction is completed around the hotel, this will be the perfect place to get drinks and dinner.

   Circa 55 at the Beverly Hilton is a must; that’s an understatement!! I have NEVER been to a restaurant where the WHOLE staff stopped past the table to make sure we loved everything, and our server, Nim, was OUTSTANDING. Even the chef came out to explain one of the dishes we had questions about. The food!!! The included seafood tower and the unlimited drinks (there were six alcoholic drinks to choose from) were worth the price alone. But the crispy chicken and waffles were the best I ever had!! The cherry on top was the 360-degree view of Beverly Hills and the live music.

   I met legendary director Walter Hill for breakfast this past Saturday at your establishment. I decided to forego the $65 for valet parking and grabbed metered parking at Strbx off Wilshire. Walking to the Hilton is not easy. The Merv Griffin way street entrance is closed, so you have to take the long way and actually dodge inbound traffic into the main entrance, which is a long haul from Santa Monica Blvd. Was confused by 40+ valet drivers lined up on Santa Monica Blvd. Literally walked .4 miles from the street to the lobby entrance. Lobby was decent, but the chairs are remarkably uncomfortable. And the elevators up to Circa 55 are confusing. The side with Circa 55/private suites/etc wasn't responding. The restaurant itself is nice enough. Spectacular views. But breakfast was VERY underwhelming. Walter had to ask about his coffee a couple times. I asked for sausage, got bacon instead. We lost our waiter halfway through. And when the check came, I was SHOCKED how expensive coffee, tea, an omelette and eggs over easy was. Walter picked up the check and had a $50 ready for valet. I hope he had more cash. Will check out the Maybourne, the Peninsula, Margot, Mama Shelter for my next script meeting. Can't recommend.

   Great experience. The kabob platter and Beverly salad were fabulous and our service by Ulyses was exceptional. Fantastic view and pleasant evening.

    I ate at this restaurant on Sunday, which was the date before this reservation. On Sunday I wrote a raving review. Everything was perfect. On Monday I ordered the exact same food the exact same way. The state was overcooked and the asparagus was old. No one ever came to checkon my dinner or to pour my wine or my water. It was a night and day from the night before. Very disappointed.
