Today was my first time at Hillstone and the food truly made the experience unforgettable. My friend and I had a fabulous time enjoying our meal while having a lovely conversation. The steak was cooked perfectly with so much flavor in every bite, and the chicken salad was fresh, bright, and incredibly satisfying. Every dish tasted thoughtful and high quality. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. I absolutely love this place and I am already looking forward to coming back.
Can I go back again really soon??!!! Wonderful atmosphere with cozy, elevated vibes. The service was spot on- our waitress had a friendly attitude, great menu suggestions and knows just when to check in. Cocktails- who doesn’t want their drink to stay cold? I do, and that happens here with cold glass replacements. The food was delicious. The menu has so many options. Our choices the night we visited were- the sushi (coconut roll and pressed). What a great start! Our entrees were the trout (so underrated) perfectly seasoned and the Hawaiian steak (med-rare) that was done perfectly and melted in your mouth. The sides we chose were the potatoes colcannon (mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage and kale) which were so creamy and broccoli nicely seasoned with butter and Parmesan. The slaw that came with the trout was delicious and not boring.
This restaurant is definitely a repeat for sure!
Excellent food and impeccable service. Our favorites are their famous fall-off-the-bone ribs and their Thai noodle salad. Also love the shoe-string fries. Please bring back the steak Thai noodle!
My bestie told me about this place when she found on TikTok and we made reservations on 11/22 for 12/22 at 4:30pm. There were reservations in between throughout the month but it was too early for our liking 11-2pm mostly. I didn't know there was a dress code but I'm glad they sent notice ahead of time. We both went in jeans with boots and bodysuits, comfy and cute yet presentable. This restaurant is def casual with an upscale vibe.
My bestie had a drink & i had a Coke. We both got salads mine was the grilled chicken Caesar salad and hers was a tuna tartar both excellent. The croutons & chicken were to die for. My bestie then had roast beef with fries and i had the s almon with broccoli. The star of the show was that salmon wow wow wow! Made to perfection and the light sauce on it was excellent! My bestie was even amazed and she's not a salmon person. I left no crumbs on the salad or salmon haha. For dessert we shared the brownie with a scoop of ice cream and it was delicious!! Def for anyone allergic to nuts but wow the nuts made the dessert so good.
Lastly, service was amazing ! The servers were so nice, professional and personable. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant at nice location right next to the 6 train. I can't wait to come back with my husband ! He's going to love this spot!
Great experience at Hillstone, a true NYC classic. Consistently solid food, great atmosphere, and well-crafted drinks. The steak was perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
Definitely a legendary spot worth visiting, but make sure to book in advance, it fills up quickly.
