The Dixon Kitchen & Bar Review

Went to The Dixon at the Hilton Hotel on March 26th 2026 for dinner with a family member making a stopover by Pearson International airport. She was staying at the Hampton hotel, but the walk to The Dixon was only 2 minutes away.

In a nutshell there were only two dinner menu items on the table at The Dixon I’d happily eat again.

The creamy seafood ravioli dish was one of them. Rich tasty and actually comforting without turning into a gluey mess. The other standout was the braised beef dish with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Tender meat good gravy and a proper satisfying plate.

Now for the rest.

Skip the crab cakes. They came with a weird soup-like sauce on them that did them no favours at all. The garden salad was… a salad. The salmon was straightforward and nothing special. They didn’t mess it up so congratulations are in order there.

Also no free bread. Not a tragedy but at a hotel restaurant it felt like an omission.

As for the Old Fashioned cocktail - it looked like one but seemed to be missing the part where the alcohol makes its presence known. After a few sips I was left wondering if the bartender and the bourbon had some kind of falling out.

So while I can’t praise the menu across the board those two mains were genuinely delicious and the reason this review isn’t much harsher. If you find yourself staying near this airport hotel and need a decent dinner, start here.
