Hillstone is one of the new step-children of Houston's (not sure why they're changing the name in every city) but you know you're going to have excellent service when you're here!
I came with girlfriends for a casual lunch to catch up and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. We have a bottle of wine and the spinach dip o start. The wine was amazing (but for some reason not at the right temperature, wasn't cold enough) and the spinach dip was pretty good.
I also had the soup and salad (clam chowder and house salad) which were both fantastic. My only complaint is that I wanted more of that soup! With Phoenix being so far from water, good seafood isn't easy to find and this clam chowder tasted like it was fresh and full.
We were too stuffed for dessert but the options definitely looked yummy!
Oh, one last MAJOR gripe - PARKING! In Phoenix parking is rarely a concerned. Well at Hillstone at noon on Friday, I had to circle around the parking lot for 15 minutes before I found a spot.
