Henry's Ocean View Dining

One of the best new restaurants in Southern California!

Normally a Hilton breakfast would have the usual of cantaloupe and melon, egg dishes, etc etc. But this breakfast, shoot, I was super happy they went adventurous with chia pudding, lychee, and real healthy options for those with food sensitivity. I will not forget and shall return. Yeah my photo may look "healthy" but when has oatmeal taste this good. Not many provide a lot of options to customize to your taste.

This place is first class! The service was great and the food was delicious. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and treated ourselves to the 4 course tasting menu. I loved all of the courses but the main course I choose of Wagyu Ribeye was incredible. I think that I could have cut through it with a fork. Alberto served us and was delightful. Chef Kenny came to the table and introduced himself. He explained all of the steps that went into creating just one of the dishes and then stopped by again later to check in on us. Robert the General Manager came by a couple of times as well to make sure that all of our expectations were being met. I had to look over at my wife to see if she was wearing a tiara because we were treated like royalty!

Flavor was excellent, service was attentive. Some of the dishes were on the salty side. Everything I tried made me want more but be aware that most plates are on the smaller size side as expected for this type of restaurant.
- Mussels: definitely a fresh take on fan favorite.. The sauce adds a very unique and gentle flavor to the mussels
- Farmers Market Melon Salad: sweet and fresh but they could definitely fill the plate a bit more
- Potato and Kraut: delicious but note that this is saltier than I expected bc it's cooked in lard oil. I asked for a less salty version and then I found it more enjoyable
- squash: perfectly cooked, not too soft, not too hard
- Japanese Myazaki tenderloin: amazing
- Buckwheat Pasta: never had pasta made this style. Served with no protein. Lots of cheese and sauce. Was ragout-like soft. Real good. Is not heavy like some Italian dishes
- Corn creme brulee: loved that it's not too sweet. With the topings, I'd call it more a "creme parfait" (similar to a yogurt parfait)

It was excellent. It's exceeded our expectations we had a great experience. The truffle butter was amazing! So was everything we had though, the butterfish, the ribeye, the lobster appetizer. It was all delicious. Thank you chef!.
