    Came here for lunch a couple of times. The location is super convenient, especially with the easy parking situation since it's located in a hotel. You just walk a few steps from the lobby entrance, seat yourself, and the server comes by promptly to help. For a weekday lunch, the place is never too crowded, which is a huge plus. The menu has what you'd expect from a hotel restaurant of this caliber, and while it's on the more expensive side, the quality is good and it's a worthwhile expense for the convenience and quick service. It's a great option when I just need to grab a bite and head out. The atmosphere is pretty typical of a hotel restaurant.

    Lamb Lollipops
    Rachel V.

    We had a great time at dinner here. Service was impeccable and our waitress was very friendly. Plus dinner was 50% off if you are staying at the hotel. Food came out quick, it was hot and looked perfect! The lamb lollipops were delightful and savory. The red sauce underneath the lamb was so tasty. I want to re-create that. They came with warm fresh pita bread and hummus. I ended up dipping the bread in the mouthwatering red sauce. I also ordered the chicken sandwich. The sandwich was HUGE and fantastic! It was cut in half and easily could have been shared. The bread was thick and crunchy! The bacon and havarti cheese on the grilled chicken added so much texture and flavor. It wasn't the cheap bacon either. And the fries are delicious. It was a great meal before heading out bowling. My friends ordered Filet mignon with risotto and the cheese burger. Those both looked fantastic as well. Plated nicely. We will definitely be back!

    French Toast with a side of bacon

    Stayed at the Hilton for a couple nights for a work conference and each morning i enjoyed their breakfast. Ordered the French Toast twice. They even hinted if i wanted bacon on the side which of course i do! Bacon was crispy and they gave a decent amount. French Toast wasnt soggy and edges were crisp. Super sugary by itself though. There was a decent amount of whip cream on the side and a huge amount of syrup on the side as well. Service came to my door 20 mins after ordering, just like the restaurant stated. Overall, good room service with good food. If i stay here again, I wouldnt mind ordering them for breakfast.

    Chicken Linguini

    Overall we had a great experience at the Hiltons restaurant, Solarium. The wait staff was very attentive and the food was good. The do automatically include the tip on your bill, so please be aware of that. The chicken linguine was amazing, but the yogurt was extremely thick. Almost an ice cream consistency which threw me off. The restaurant was usually pretty empty, and there is a Starbucks located in the restaurant as well. We did both the lunch and breakfast buffet, and they were $22 each.

    8 oz Filet Mignon & Flat Iron Steak

    We came here for Seattle Restaurant Week last weekend, we got popcorn shrimp & Dungeness crab quesadilla for starters, flat iron steak and filet mignon for entrees, Jamaican rum carrot cake & pumpkin cheesecake. The starters were literally double the portions we were expecting. I loved the popcorn shrimp and my bf loved the crab quesadilla. Steaks were both super juicy and tender. Mash potatoes were bomb, soft and garlicky. Get the carrotcake, the pumpkin cheesecake was ok. Overall great experience, our server Victor was super friendly. After we parked, it was hard to figure out where the restaurant is located. But once you go inside you just need to poke around and you'll find it! Definitely, recommend trying them up!

    Dirty martini

    This restaurant is located inside the Hilton hotel lobby. We were back in Washington for the Seahawks game and decided to stopped by here for dinner. We came in at around 7:30pm so the place was quite which was just perfect for us. The food quality is so much better than we expected. The dirty martini is also so good that I had two. We ordered grilled cheese sandwiches on sour dough bread and they were quite delish! The young lady that was our server was quite charming so the last minute dinner plan ended on a positive note. We really appreciated her excellent customer service. Definitely will stop by again - possibly will stay at the hotel as well so we can try out other items on the menu. 4 stars because it was our first time in.

    Waitress dropped dish for 20 mins
    Dave T.

    The Valentine's dinner was not good. Yes, the staff was very nice. The host was the best I've encountered in a long time. My waitress was very nice but lacked skill and etiquette. For instance, she dropped a salad dressing dish (dressing everywhere) from a used plate a few feet from our table and in the middle of the walk through for guests next to the bar area. She looked back at it, stopped for a sec then kept walking. Many staff and patrons stopped after seeing it but just walked right over it. She finally came back 20 mins later to pick it up (after walking over it 3 more times). Of course, the dressing was left on the floor the rest of the time I was there. It was entertaining to watch. I don't believe that the kitchen actually "cooks" anything (I could be wrong but doubt it). All of the food appeared to be prepared and brought in or frozen and thawed by the staff. The wedge salad wasn't actually a wedge but was fine. They cut off an end of Romaine and put it on a plate instead of cutting a wedge using iceberg. There was enough dressing for about half. The tomato soup was good but I don't believe they made it. The butter chicken was horrible! The chicken was obviously frozen chicken that was thawed and placed in the sauce. It reminded me of having airplane food. It was not prepared in a way you would get it in an Indian restaurant. The sauce was good but again, there's no way they made it. The rice was very overcooked and mushy. It was pretty disgusting. The desserts were fine but obviously brought in from some place else. The heart shaped cheesecake that is clearly mentioned on the menu was a circle not a heart. The location in the lobby isn't setup right. The staff did an excellent job with what they had. The table cloths, flower petals, and decorations were spot on. The hanging sheer panels acting as walls were a disaster. Every time someone came in the front door, cold air would blow through the restaurant on that side. They should really consider enclosing the area with glass walls to go with the atrium theme. Will we be back? No way! I paid $100 for crappy Indian food that I could have purchased for $30 in an authentic restaurant. To top it off, my date wouldn't eat the Indian food because it tasted so bad. She told the waitress why she didn't want it and her response was, "Would you like me to box it up for you?" Are you kidding? I just laughed. She had no clue. No offer of a replacement or anything. Even worse, when she was serving the table next to us, she would move her bottom back within an inch or so of our table. That was totally unnecessary. The tables weren't close together and no one was seated on their other side of that table. She could have walked to the other side or stood closer to there table. If you eat out a lot like I do and know good food, you won't be happy at this place.

    Taste of Seattle menu
    Nina S.

    I didn't look at their regular menu because we came to try this place during Seattle Restaurant Week. For $35, we had a three course meal from the Seattle Restaurant Week menu. There were three of us in our party. STARTERS: - Northwest Seafood Chowder - chef's selection of fresh seafood, fresh thyme, evoo. The chowder was good, but nothing to rave about. I couldn't tell which seafood was in there -- hint of salmon, clam maybe. It was thicker than I'm used to in a chowder. - Lamb Lollipops with harissa,dill Greek yogurt, grilled naan. 2 tender, nicely cooked medium and well seasoned lamb lollipops! This was a hit for us. I would order this dish again. - Ahi Tuna Poke - cucumber salad, scallion, seaweed, sesame pickled ginger, lemongrass ponzu, crisp wonton. This was another hit for us and the portion was generous for a starter. The tuna was fresh and the whole dish was tasty. ENTREES: - Northwest King Salmon - red rice pilaf, walla walla onion, sweet pepper, mushroom, citrus beet coulis - the fish was nicely seasoned. It was cooked perfectly. I actually thought the red rice pilaf was quinoa. It sure looked and tasted like it. I don't remember the pepper and mushroom onthe plate, but maybe because I was enjoying the salmon and quinoa (or rice pilaf) that I didn't notice them. - Flat Iron steak - 8 oz double R ranch steak, garlic Yukon gold mashed potatoes, harvest vegetables, red wine demi - the steak was nicely cooked and seasoned. Garlic mashed potatoes was good as well although I didn't get to taste it. - Jumbo prawn curry - house made curry sauce, roasted vegetables, basmati rice, grilled naan. I was skeptical of this dish because good (Indian inspired) curry dish are hard to come by unless you get it from an Indian Restaurant. This dish was a pleasant surprise! The curry has a sweetness to it in the beginning and ended with heat. It was delicious! The naan was ok. I've had better. DESSERTS: - Pumpkin spice creme brûlée with fresh berries. I liked how the taste of pumpkin wasn't strong. - Salted caramel cheesecake - white chocolate, macerated wild berries, cinnamon whipped creme - Triple Chocolate - white chocolate vanilla silk mousse, dark chocolate ganache, flourless chocolate silk bottom All three desserts were good but I liked the pumpkin spice creme brûlée the best. We ordered espresso with dessert and our server insisted on giving us a double even though we said we didn't want a double. She felt the single shot is too small. Maybe if they serve it in an actual espresso cup, it wouldn't look too small.

    Chicken Rigatoni
    Bruce J.

    I have eaten here maybe 4-5 times this year. Honestly it's the service that keeps me coming back. The restaurant and bar located in the Hilton offers the hospitality that Hilton is known for. There is a good variety available on the menu. Small plates are often a complete meal. The tenderloin beef-tips should have TENDER in all caps. If I didn't feel self-conscious I'd lick the plate clean. The Chicken Rigatoni has become a favorite. Risotto is an excellent choice. Most times when I travel I don't want to eat at the hotel restaurant but Solarium is an exception.

    Top sirloin
    Holli M.

    You would never thought this place had an amazing restaurant. We came here for restaurant week and I've there twice now. All the items offered were delicious. So flavorful and rich. The restaurant is in the lobby. Lots of tables and comfortable chairs. We started with crab cakes and lamb popsicles. Both were so good. Entrees we had scallop risotto, filet and top sirloin. Oh my goodness the scallops was my favorite. The meats dishes were just as good but I love risotto. Desserts blueberry cheesecake and raspberry creme brûlée were phenomenal. The food was so good I had to go back again the next day with a friend. And she loved it too.

    Northwest Chowder

    Enjoyed a nice Valentine's Day dinner at Solarium Kitchen & Bar. 5 stars for service, 3 stars for food. The thing about Solarium is that it's a hotel restaurant, so there isn't really any wow factor, but what you get for a hotel restaurant is pretty decent. They offered a three-course dinner for Valentine's Day. Prices varied depending on the entree. My hubs ordered the Chowder, the Rack of Lamb, and the Coffee Chocolate Cake. The chowder was creamy and had a few different types of seafood (shrimp, clams, and salmon). The lamb was nicely seasoned, cooked to order (his was medium) and a good overall texture. The sides were tasty (veggies and mashed potatoes). The chocolate cake was good, but not really a cake texture, it was more spongy. I ordered the Wedge Salad, the Salmon, and the Carmelo. The wedge was tasty, and had plenty of bleu cheese crumbles and was served with Romaine instead of iceberg lettuce, so that was different. The salmon was fine, but nothing to write home about. It was supposed to have horseradish in it but I didn't taste any, so in that sense, it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping. The Caramelo dessert was yummy. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Solarium. If you're staying at the Hilton, I would definitely recommend eating there. You'll enjoy a good meal, with great service and convenience.

The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

    Club Seltzer proves that you don't need alcohol in order to concoct a delicious drink. Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

This was while the place was practically empty, so I'm not sure what else could have been occupying their time. Second, I ordered the pork shoulder stir fry which wasn't bad but had several large pieces of pure fat & gristle in it that I felt a high quality restaurant would have taken out of the dish. It's indicative of lazy & careless food preparation skills. Also, the basmati rice was very under-cooked...some pieces were even crunchy. Lastly, after leaving the place, I realized that I accidentally left my sunglasses there. So I called later that evening to inquire if they had found them. I discovered they route all incoming calls to a bot that instantly made me feel unimportant and unappreciated. What's worse is it tried to connect me with someone in the restaurant, but kept looping back into its own messaging narrative. What an absolute PITA. This enables me to make a broader point: Restaurants have to get it through their heads that cutting costs has negative impact on customer experience, putting the lifeblood of their business into jeopardy. Take the widespread adoption of QR code-based menus during COVID...how many restaurants do you know actually switched back to real menus after COVID passed? The answer is very few. The reason why? They are too stingy to pony up the dough and ignore the benefit to the customer experience. They figure, 'people already know how to do that so why spend the money on printing up menus anymore?". They couldn't care less about what customers might actually enjoy more, and that's the real travesty. If restaurants are going to force their customers into a self-serve model (as so many have nowadays), then why bother tipping anyone? I am so fed up of a world where the idolatry of wealth has surpassed the appreciation and value of real, engaging human experiences. The Central Bar + Restaurant could help reverse this course if they ever decide to they put customer experience first instead of their own profits. UPDATE: Added one star because they actually had my shades...went ot go pick them up today.
