I went to Hillstone for the first time tonight. The restaurant is quite striking and in many ways is a homage to Frank Lloyd Wright--very prairiesque in its design. we sat at the bar--when I got there at 5:30 the wait was a half hour, by later in the evening it had grown to 1.5 hours so, at least now don't consider it if you want a quick bite. Even at the bar--folks seem to have settled in for the evening --me included--as I was there for almost three hours. I have to say the wine starts at $9 a glass so if you plan to spend the evening it is not going to be inexpensive--so no so much because of the food--except for the fact that there was one special that was steak and was $40--which I think is somewhat outrageous for this economy
anyway--to get back to the food--I had the club salad--and it was nice--nothing spectacular--i think why I will go back is more for the ambiance of the restaurant it self--service from the bar was okay--they are busy so don't expect a service level that blows your socks off, but I do think they were giving it their best shot. in spite of it all --there was a nice vibe sitting at the bar that I liked.
