   CAme for dinner before Hugh Jackman. Very accommodating for Gluten free dietary requirement! Felt the food took a long time however it was busy and food was excellent, hot and a good portion when we received it. Would certainly return!

   Had a great family dinner prior to going to a concert. Food quality was great, as was the service. Always go here prior to our concerts. So relaxing and good background music.

   Avoid Recess Restaurant at Hilton Garden Inn! I ordered a Cauliflower Curry which was on the menu and they didn`t have any Cauliflower but offered to make a curry with a `similar` vegetable. I asked what vegetable - Spinach apparently is very similar! (eh?). I ordered a Gordon`s Gin? Don`t stock it. A Bombay Sapphire? Don`t stock it. Any Pink Gin at all? Don`t stock it. Well then a Raspberry Mojito? Don`t make it. Surely an ordinary Mojito (it is on the bar menu)? Don`t have the ingredients to make it! Tap water? Surely to goodness they can`t say they don`t have Tap Water? Errrr not exactly, but when it came it had obviously been sitting for most of the day if not the week in that same water jug, it was luke warm and tasted stale - at least a few days stale!!! I ordered a bottle of water and it was cold and fresh hurrah!! Bye then I was grateful such small mercy! I noted a couple of other tables complaining to the staff as well. The Manager needs to sort out both bar and kitchen stock control or this place will close! The Recess being so close to the Hydro and SECC used to be so busy one had to book well in advance of a show but it was empty - now I know why!

   Restaurant was closed for a function though they were still accepting bookings on here. We were put into a side room with a bar in it on a table that barely held the plates and glasses. The area was mobbed as Deacon Blue were playing at the Hydro and the hotel basically didn’t care. Would never use again even though the food was good because the attitude was terrible.

   We opted for the chicken burger main course as we were attending a pop concert nearby and we were stopping overnight in the Hilton Gardens where the restaurant was. The food was tasty and well presented by pleasant staff. We washed it down with a decent glass of shiraz for a reasonable price. The ambiance was good but the large glass fronted dining area overlooking the River Clyde was a little chilly but not uncomfortable

   Good service, delish steak. Poor dessert choice, opted for cheeseboard which was very basic. Overall enjoyed the meal and setting.

   So disappointing we were staying at the hotel as my husband and I had tickets for a concert in the hydro! Booked out table for 6pm as we were to be at the venue for around 7.30pm (thought an hour and a half was plenty of time for our meal!) We went in and were seated quickly, ordered our food and drinks! Chicken for my husband and fish for myself drinks came quickly but 50 minutes later we were still waiting for our food! People coming in after us and being served??? We eventually had to say to the waitress we would pay for our drinks but we didn't think we could wait for the food and all of a sudden miraculously our food arrived it was okay but it definitely hadn't just been cooked, husband's chicken was chewy and although my fish was tasty my chips weren't very warm! We are it paid for it and left!! No coffee or desserts as we didn't have time! Don't think we will be back!
