Hooked, Williamsville NY

The menu is super limited but the scallop risotto was incredible. I almost didn't order it though. When I ordered a charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, crackers and jams and saw Club crackers and diner style packets of Smuckers, I damn near walked out then.

I had the Mussels, they were pretty good. There was only 1 server, so service was slow. Not somewhere I would go back to.

This is by far the worst bar attached to a Hilton property that I have experienced. They are out of beer for the most part, if someone orders a liquor drink, the bartenders do not know what is in stock; they do not have glasses to serve wine and liquor drinks. It is abysmal!

2.5 STARS for this place. Hotel folks: ORDER Red Lobster nearby, and you will get better mussels, better quality fish, and yes, better food. Food mostly sucked; overpriced seafood. It's one of those places where you have to know what's good (nothing is excellent). The hostess was responsive, but obviously overworked. They sent the SMALLEST plastic utensils with the bag of take-out food to my hotel room. Don't tip, because there's a 20% gratuity included in the bill. I always tip 20%, and never less or more.

3 STARS for the MUSSELS, which were nicely cooked with a watery, bland sauce. Small portion. The good: It's OK.

2 STARS for CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD, which included some giant chicken pieces, hearts of lettuce with burnt edges, Italian tasting vinegary "Caesar" dressing (not the nice creamy Caesar we all love), and commercial-tasting croutons. Lame. The good: lots of chicken protein.

2 STARS for FISH FRY, which is their fish and chips. The tartar sauce tasted store-bought, fish tasted like any fried, re-heated piece of white fish (not fresh tasting), and fries were just your common fries. No cocktail sauce or extra tartar (if you like their terrible tartar). The good: Big portion of both fish and fries that will fill you up.

3 STARS for SALMON DISH, which had a piece of crisp (overcooked) - but tasty - salmon, butter-like sauce that might go well with lobster, and your average rice and asparagrus on the side. Something you'd get at a banquet. Way overpriced for the medium-quality. THE GOOD: will provide you a healthy, simple meal.

1 STAR for LAVA CAKE, which tasted like frozen bread microwaved to warmth, plus Hershey's syrup poured into the middle; the vanilla ice cream was FREEZER BURNT and tasted gross. The GOOD: Did not finish it.

My husband and I went for my birthday dinner last night. There was only 1 server working who was taking care of a private party in the back and the entire dining room. Needless to say the service was terrible but it was not the servers fault The food was mediocre at best. We tried a house salad and grouper fingers for an appetizer. They were just OK. My husband got the scallop risotto which was mediocre and overpriced. I ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi. The sauce tasted like garlic flavored dishwater and the grey color was unappealing. The scallops were cooked nicely but the shrimp was disappointing. There wasn’t a manager or anyone to help the poor server, who stated this was the second week of work and the other person who was scheduled, never showed up. I was so excited to try this restaurant but it was a huge disappointment. I do not recommend.

Super hit or miss with service here. Our last visit we left due to not being greeted at all but the previous visit the food and cocktails were great. **update** no point visiting here unless you are staying in the hotel the service has gone done drastically and the bartenders have the ability to pour wine only.

The menu is limited. The food was ok. I had the fish fry. The portion was large. The service was good. We ordered a beer, and it was warm, but they did deduct it from the bill. I probably wouldn't go back here due to the limited selection on the menu and the prices.

Very nice atmosphere but lousy seating. Crammed seating barely enough room to get in and out of the seat. Menu is nice but limited

Decent place was staying at the mosey hotel in which it is located. Decent prices for a hotel restaurant and somewhat upscale but not overly posh

Everything was good, food was nice, parking was nice. But they charged us more than what we put on the receipt which is unbelievable for a restaurant like this. They charged about 10$ more, this is not a lot of money, but the restaurant should not be doing something like this!

We are hooked on this restaurant! I've been to Hooked several times since they've opened. I have to say they have really upped their game and have finally got it together! The service was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and lobster rolls for appetizers. We could have left happy just having those! Our main entrees the seabass au pistou and the filet lobster Oscar were cooked to perfection. The picture of this entree on their website menu is a bit deceiving because it shows a filet and a separate lobster tail. In reality, the lobster pieces are shredded on the top of the filet with a bit offered on the side. It's still worth ordering. Their happy hour drink specials were a great deal. Loved their house margaritas and their old fashioned! Live music playing on the weekends really adds to the overall ambiance. They also have a large full bar you can sit at if you are just looking for a drink. Definitely give Hooked a chance. We are very glad we did!

No Anchovies for my Ceasar Salad, the only reason I scored 4*'s on the Food. Everything else was very good.

Band canceled after we drive 30 minutes to see them. The food and service was bad. Never again.

Food was delicious. Not very busy, waitress was a little quiet but super nice. Good cocktails

It's a complete combination for everything that you're looking for to have a perfect night out. First time and definitely coming back.

This is not just a hotel restaurant. Our evening at the bar was met with friendly knowledgeable bartenders providing impeccable service to us and our barstool neighbors. The oysters on the half-shell exceeded our expectations and our shared entree, lobster Mac n cheese, was the best I ever had.
My wife and I had a great dining experience at Hooked. We will be back.
