Most important...patio weather = patio sitting. Hillstone has a great patio, even if I did have to stalk someone for their table when they left. Lovely wine and the best, best, best spinach dip I have had in a while. So good we ordered a second one! The foccacia bread didn't look like much when it came but it was delish. Super staff, delicious food and drink, and a comfy patio. So fun:-)
