| - Happy to post an update on Hillside Spot- 3 years later!
My friend took me here and I didn't even remember that I had been here before. I thought the place was large and had a great patio (with a fireplace) and mood-dim lighting. Since I forgot about my previous experience, I didn't even think to order the pulled pork sandwich. Instead I got the Brooklyn Chop salad: romaine, salami, pistachios, radicchio, sundried tomatoes, cucumber, cotija, tomatoes, olives, and red wine vinaigrette. We also ordered draft beers that were $2 off as a Weekday special. My friend got a veggie burrito.
Our server was great and pretty speedy with the beers and food. The salad itself was tasty but not as flavorful as the description presented it to be: it was mostly salami and lettuce, I saw a tiny piece of pistachio and a whole olive but no sundried tomatoes, radicchio, cotija cheese, cucumbers or tomatoes. All in all, it was a decent salami and lettuce salad with a tangy dressing. My friend's veggie burrito was pretty average too- steamed veggies on a tortilla shell.
Happy that this place has gotten better in my eyes but its still not as amazing as it could be. However, the patio and ambiance is good enough to just come for beers and escape elsewhere for a good meal.
