Just a note for the former "Hilltop Inn" fish fry addicts who might stumble upon this page. The fish was good on opening day, claimed one of the folk who I spoke with. He's a fellow who has eaten many a fish dinner previously at this location. Definitely up to par, he said. He will be back. So feel safe and head out to try the new decor. John was still cooking the fish, BTW, so you won't be taking a big chance on a new restaurant. Jump in. But do a bring a little extra cash.
Me, I've been eating at this location since I was 10-years old or younger. I'm 55-years old. My dining experience was good and the people were friendly. Many old Hilltop Inn folks were wandering in and enjoying themselves with friends they hadn't seen for a few months. I hope this continues as things move forward.
Former Regulars note: No more brunch on Sunday. An all you can eat chicken dinner has taken its place later in the day.
