Quick recap: - Food: Mediocre - Portion size: Average - Service: Slow - Environment: average hotel restaurant - $: High - Perks: N/A More details: I went there for dinner twice. Had a House salad ($9) - average and a Caesar salad with chicken ($18) - average. The food is average at best. The portion sizes are average. The presentation is mediocre. The staff was nice but super slow. Overall? Mediocre food. Nice staff. Slow. Overpriced. Would only go if I did not have another option, plus the room service has a different menu....

Located at the Hilton in East Brunswick this is where you have breakfast at the hotel as well as lunch or dinner. The service is spotty depending on when you come. I came for lunch and had the caesar salad with chicken. It was massively overdressed but the chicken was cooked nice. Overdressing a salad is a fundamental reason why a lot of salads are not very good. I also started with the cream of mushroom soup. It had a bold mushroom flavor and a creaminess to it that hit the spot. This is not my favorite type of soup but was surprised by it in a good way. This isn't 5 star dining and so don't expect that. When you are stuck at the hotel with no other options give it a try. It will fill you up at a good price. Hotel food usually stinks anyway but this one is edible.

Entry to Blossom Restaurant in Hilton East Brunswick

This place inside the Hilton East Brunswick is an adequate choice for a meal. If you are staying at the Hilton, it is quite convenient. I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express and this was still the only walkable option for me in this ex-urban location. This restaurant is rather typical of scaled-up hotel restaurants in that it is slightly overpriced and, at the same time, somewhat lower in quality. I would, again, use the word adequate. I had two appetizers including a salad and the Acapulco Shrimp. Both were pretty good and I especially enjoyed the shrimp. The service was actually good and I had no complaints about that aspect. But the bill with food, drink, tax and tip was over $30. It was a below-average value in my estimation when all was said and done. All things considered, I think a 3-star rating is fair as this place is really one either for those wanting convenience or who are a "captive audience".

OMR has an excellent location near businesses, hotels, college, entertainment district. Sort of…read morelike a restaurant on the water, because of location they don't have to try to be excellent. Just be good and people will come. Basically OMR is a bar with tables. So, you are getting lots of items that are "bar food" not fine dining. On the other hand, plenty of choices so most people will find something of interest. Ate here 10/2/26 early 5-7 pm with 7 other friends before going to State Theatre (a few blocks away). Everyone was mildly satisfied, but no one raved about their food. So, if you want a good, not great, meal and happen to be in New Brunswick for some reason, you may choose OMR. But, I would certainly not drive into town explicitly to eat here.

I remember first going here about 14 years ago and was very impressed then. At a recent dance event…read more(Liberty Swing) it was clear that it was still THE PLACE to go, especially with a large group of foodies. Bottom line: no matter what you order it will be excellent. Even with a dozen people on Saturday night, we managed to get seated. With the wide variety of menu choices, everyone was able to get exactly what they wanted. One very interesting dish I hadn't thought of was the chicken pot pie, which sounds very pedestrian, but wait until you see it. Amazing. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and it tasted every bit as good as it's picture-perfect looks. Superb service, plus literally everything that came to the table looked like a magazine picture. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection! So even at 30 minutes from my house and horrific parking, I would definitely come back. Grades: Double Patty: A++

I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping. That would help cut through the grease and make the burger feel a little lighter. The restaurant is very clean and bright, I liked the atmosphere while I was in there and the staff were nice!

Salt was excellent from start to finish. They had a capacious selection of oysters, and so we…read moreordered six Wellfleets (old favorites), six Kumamotos, and another six of another variety whose name escapes me. I skew briny with oysters, so all of them were described thus, but there was still a tremendous range of flavors. The Wellfleets were probably our favorites, with a sweet, meaty texture along with an assertive brininess. We gilded the appetizer lily by ordering some steamed PEI mussels and clams casino, too. Dinner was a full fish-fest: I had the whole branzino, Rhonda the soft-shell crab, and Aaron the crispy skin Black Sea bass. Each of these were excellent: the branzino was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented with the head and tail intact, but on a nice small plate, making it look less like a giant meal and more of a humble fish for a hungry fella. The soft-shell crab was sweet and crunch without relying on a thick layer of breading or batter. Mission accomplished with that dish for sure. Aaron's sea bass had a nice crispy skin, as promised, and served over a small mound of risotto. Another standout: when I got fussy about our Manhattans, asking for a specific rye and vermouth, as well as the proportion of each, the server didn't miss a beat. I've had servers frown and take a lot of notes, but our man nodded knowingly with each request. (For the record, we had WhistlePig rye 10 year, which I've only ever had once before, at Knife and Fork in Atlantic City. Salt also had the 15-year-old version.)

The decor is beautiful and the Halloween decorations gave it a festive feel. Upon entering the establishment and confirming my reservations... the entire staff showed nothing but the highest level of professionalism and genuine smiles were on full display. The setting was perfect from a super cool intimate angle... and even though it was basically a packed house, the noise level was still respectable. WOW !!!! That's all I could say, when our server "Johnathan" set the small plate seafood tower on the table... cocktail shrimps, oysters, clams, mussels, stone crab claws, Alaskan crab legs, whole lobster, and langostino ( which I have never tasted before ) and I was able to enjoy this dynamic seafood display for a super reasonable $75 !! And there was the lobster bisque ( awesome ) crab dip ( rich and tasty ) and ended the evening with a dish of spinach lobster ravioli ( spectacular and fulfilling on every level ) Truth is... this made my trip to NJ everything and more. I want to give a shout out to Johnathan for doing an excellent job of explaining everything in detail and bringing things out in a deliberate fashion which allowed us to enjoy each dish to the fullest, without the table becoming over crowded ( thank you for that !! ) If you're ever in the New Brunswick NJ downtown area... I encourage you to make it a night at Salt Seafood & Oyster Bar ( you can thank me later !! )
