kokopelli-az Posted December 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2012 We are staying at the Hilton Airport Hotel Dec 29 prior to our cruise. This isn't where I would have picked to stay but it's what came with our travel package. Our plane doesn't get in until 8:00 pm so it will be probably 9:00 pm before we get to the hotel and checked in, etc. We don't want to eat at the restaurant in the hotel (which closes at 10:00 pm anyway) so what is somewhat close (2 miles or less) that we can take a taxi to for drinks and dinner?

Florissouri Posted December 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 19, 2012 For something unique with a local flavor I would suggest Tropical Acres Steakhouse just under a mile west on Griffin road or the Rustic Inn Crab House which is about a half mile west on Griffin Road, then turn right on Anglers Ave/Ravenswood Road and go another half mile. You'll have to hurry, though. Tropical Acres closes at 10:00 PM (Mon-Sat) and the Rustic Inn closes at 10:30 (Mon-Sat). Otherwise, head south on I-95 to the next exit (Stirling Road-about 1 mile) to Oakwood Plaza Mall where you will find Hollywood Ale House and they're open until 2:00 AM.

royalcruz Posted December 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The Field is fun and the kitchen will be open later. It's 1-2 miles west of Hilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant Posted December 20, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Frankly, after a day of travel and the time you're getting there, I'd order a delivery pizza (or whatever's available). Just ask at the front desk for menu's. Pack a bottle in your checked luggage for "drinks" :). JMO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli-az Posted December 20, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks for the tip that Tropical Acres and Rustic Crab close early. A bottle in our checked luggage is a great idea but our checked luggage will be whisked away at the airport by a luggage transport service, stored overnight and then delivered to the ship the next day, so we have to have all our necessities in our carry-ons. We won't see our checked luggage until the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy12 Posted December 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I agree with the pizza suggestion. We ordered from the one with information available in the hotel and it was very good. I ordered the spaghetti and salad and it was very good but enough for an army!! The 8 of us sat at tables around the pool and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere knowing that when finished all we had to do was throw everything away and go to our rooms.
