As soon as I walked in this place, I knew it was a Houston's-owned restaurant. And that's not a bad thing. I have been to a number of these establishments going back to 1987 when I frequented the Houston's in Silver Spring, MD. The food is always great but they have the habit of taking the best items off of the menu, like the Santa Fe Chicken dish. I was dining at the Houston's in Scottsdale about a year ago and lo & behold, it was on their menu. Amazing. The Houston's locations in Pasadena and Irvine don't have it so....what gives? Regardless, Hillstone's is worth visiting for some really good eats!
