| - Chic consistency is how I would sum up this classic example of what American dining should be.
Another visit Sunday night 7:30 work friend gathering party of 5. The first arrival was seated in a large booth on the north side of this gorgeous spot. Of course the best views are at the bar but a booth is more spacious & conducive to conversation.
Our server was Yanni which she was kind, down to earth, and accurate with our requests. She made our experience seem cozy and comfortable. When I read reviews of pretense at Hillstone, I cannot relate. Yes the architecture and cuisine is nearly flawless, it does not seem snooty at all.
Our table had the ahi tuna steak, gulf coast fish sandwich, veggie burger, Thai steak salad, tuna mango roll, and bread. All of us enjoyed the fresh straightforward preparations and delicious flavor combinations. Yanni suggested the mi sueno el llano Cabernet to accompany my Thai steak salad- great choice. A smooth lingering berry wine really enhanced the mango & filet mignon.
We shared a couple key lime pies with the non sweet whipped cream. Truly a delicious example of classic pastry. The lime filling with cold and tart not overly sweet and the perfect minty green homemade color. The crust is a nutty crumble that you press your fork into the last crumbs.
I will continue to recommend this establishment to visiting clients in my nearby biltmore fashion park boutique.
Thank you to Hillstone for their service, food, and chic consistency.
