  • I'll spare you the lament over Houston's...you've heard it all. Hillstone was my immediate pick when I found out some clients were coming to town from the Midwest. I wanted to take them somewhere nice that gave a good representation of the area and offered a menu they would like. I LOVE that Hillstone has fresh & innovative sushi without letting that bleed into "Asian-fusion" territory for the rest of the menu. I figured these clients would be "meat and potato" folks, and that's precisely what was offered. We started with Happy Hour on the patio and we were all thrilled with the koi pond, comfy seating and gorgeous overall patio ambiance. However, our group of 7 had a really tough time because the patio is definitely set up for groups of 2-4. Still, we made it work for a couple of rounds of cocktails. When we moved inside for dinner, they offered to seat us at two separate tables, since no tables accommodate more than 6 or something...not good for business conversation. We ended up in a corner booth that suited us fine. It was a little cramped but after our happy hour drinks no one seemed to mind. The service was so great, (except the cocktail runner who spilled my wine upon delivery and failed to bring back a napkin or anything...?) and the servers we interacted with were knowledgeable and skilled in the fine dining etiquettes of business entertaining. I was pleased with the overall experience. The sushi was okay, and typically priced for that kind of place. The rolls were unique, but nothing to praise. The reason I have for 3 stars is value and food quality, and poor seating options for parties over 6. The $35 filet is enormous (12oz?!) but truly left something to be desired. It was not flavorful, and ill prepared. It did not taste or feel like a quality grade and I found myself wishing I had gotten the french dip or just more sushi instead. The potatoes that come on the side really tasted like they came from a powder pouch--nothing creamy or "real" tasting about them. The rainbow chard was good, though. I really really wanted to say the food was amazing but that steak, and those potatoes, were really subpar. I would have rather had 6oz of delicious filet than twice the meat that I didn't enjoy. I'll be back for the patio ambiance but I won't be itching to spend the money for dinner.
