| - After the amazing dinner experience I had here, I truly can not believe that Hillstone doesn't have a 5 star rating! I loved everything about it. The food. The atmosphere. The service. All top notch!
Since Tuesday nights are horrible for celebrating birthdays, my boyfriend treated me to dinner at Hillstone the following Saturday. We came around 7:00pm and were told there was an hour wait. (FYI, they don't take reservations). Luckily for us, there was one table open outside that we were able to relax at in the meantime. Never had I ever sat on a patio with air conditioning vents under the table, cooling your legs. Impressed from the start! A really nice, funny server took care of us as we had wine and french fries. At exactly the one hour mark, an inside booth was ready for us!
My bf had the Hillstone Burger with coleslaw. It was definitely worthy of being his only cheat meal of the week. There were multiple items on the menu that sounded great, but I ultimately ordered the Salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Excellent choice, self! It was delicious. Another unique detail that I'd never seen before: Lemons were served in a cloth-like mesh bag to keep seeds from getting squeezed into your iced tea or food.
Then...surprise! Our server brought out a hot fudge sundae (with a candle on top) and a Nordstrom box. As it turns out, my bf had sneakily ordered dessert and given her my birthday gift while I was in the restroom. I did not see that coming! Haha. It was such a big bowl of ice cream that we couldn't finish it, but I will say that getting to pour the chocolate sauce on yourself was pretty fun.
All in all, it was a fabulous night and I'm so glad that a friend recommended Hillstone to us. I would definitely come back and suggest it to others for a special night out.
