    Filets were not cooked to order but appeared to have been cooked before dinner service. Similarly crème brûlée was not prepared when ordered. I appreciate that the restaurant was open for Christmas dinner but the food was disappointing. It certainly didn’t merit an additional 10% holiday charge.

    Christmas lunch was not good value. I expected a magical experience on Xmas day but there was very little charm and vibrancy. The main snapper fillet was dry and the side small and stingy. Seafood platter disappointed because ice had melted into the prawns. Overall do not recommend this on Xmas day.

    This was positioned as a Christmas degustation menu and it couldn’t have been more ordinary. I’ve always had fabulous meals at Glass and took my three kids for our special Christmas dinner. The meal was more like a set- menu. The wine pairings were anything but generous - not even a glass of sparkling on arrival? Service was incredibly slow. I wish we’d chosen the a la carte. Felt like a wasted $1000

    We enjoyed good service and food at the restaurant. However the Ladies toilets on the second floor of the Hilton hotel were in poor condition and poor cleanliness.

    Nice place to dine in an unpretentious setting. Food and drinks were great. Only let down was the facilities - toilets are down the hall and at the time of our visit there was no toilet paper or soap in the female toilets, which was pretty poor for a Hilton hotel.

    Table service inattentive throughout. Entre and main lovely. But $25 affogato used softserve ice cream! Should be vanilla bean at these prices. Overall, promises much but delivers less. It’s a shame!

    A few things went wrong with the food and bill (we were overcharged and also served items that we didn’t request) but overall the service and ambience was lovely.

    The last visit before Luke handed the key back to Hilton at end of Dec. The sourdough crumpet is something we haven’t tried in our previous visits and my partner just love it. Luke’s signature crab omelette is as good as always. However the squid is a bit too plain in taste and too soft in texture. The snapper and fillet are both brilliant but I personally like the snapper better; the sauce is just beautiful. And the liquorice dessert is definitely my voted dish of the night. Professional attentive service. Yes we know Glass will still be around but it won’t be the same.
