Enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and gorgeous interior, because they’re the only redeeming qualities of this restaurant. Don’t bother ordering a double, or an espresso martini, or food to-go, because they have very odd policies and do not allow such requests. If you like spending a lot for mediocre food that will leave you hungry a few hours later, this is your place!

Food was great. Service was wonderful. Beautiful facility ,beautiful like that you can just take a drink and sit by the water while you wait to be seated or even after you've already eaten.
They were upset with me for being on my phone while the women next to me were screaming like crazy. There were chicken bones in my food.

Hillstone's food is always delicious, but a little expensive. (For a different take on ribeye, try the Hawaiian steak.) The service is great, but the parking is sometimes tedious for a suburban restaurant. The atmosphere is laid back and cozy, but it can get a little noisy inside when the place is full. Try eating at one of their lakeside tables out back if the weather permits - it's nice. All in all, I really like Hillstone and would recommend it to people without hesitation.
Quality of food and impeccable service.The prices, although high, are commensurate with their quality. Congrats!!!Highly Recommended!!.

It’s a ok place I personally don’t get why people go here. The ribs are fall off bone but that’s about all you get. I got the grouper sandwich with coleslaw on the side. I had more breading and bread from the bun than anything. It was a very thin piece of grouper with lots of breading. The fries came out raw so I asked to get a new batch. They finally came for desert.. my wife’s ribs looked and tasted good but 40 bucks no thank you. We had a fish sandwich and a rack of ribs with two unsweet teas for lunch and it was 88.00. That’s fricken insane .mostly rich people go here to be seen because the food is ok for the price. If you do go get the ribs it’s a safe bet and bri g your atm farm your gonna need it

We decided to go to Hillstone for my birthday dinner.. it was a GIANT MISTAKE! We had been having drinks at Ruth Chris and I really wish we had stayed there, but we wanted to try something different for my birthday. We ordered the filet. It was so salty that it was not edible. It was horrible. We tasted it, then we let the server know that we did not care for it. We didn't cause a scene. We didn't even ask for it to be removed from the check. The manager came to the table. We thought she was coming to apologize for the food.......nope. My partner feeds me. We also like to hug. We were not making out, or causing a pda scene. Instead of apologizing for the terrible food, she asked us to stop the pda. Never in my life have I been so insulted. It's not my fault that the food was not edible. I don't think we deserved the passive aggressive attitude we received from the manager. I'm extremely sorry that I wasted my birthday dinner and my time at Hillstone. I do not recommend. The food was salty and the manager was even saltier. I wish to God I had just decided to have my dinner at Ruth Chris. The food doesn't taste like it's been bathed with salt, and the manager and waitstaff have never made me feel unwelcome. I guess they think it's upscale, but it's really just a hamburger restaurant on a lake. Lol.

The food was good, once we got it. We arrive around 4:30, and the restaurant was not crowded, with the majority of diners having been served. We had already placed our order, when there was an instant, in/off power outage. I assumed there would be a short delay in the kitchen catching up with orders...however, our server kept coming over to assure us our order was being "worked on". We finally were served at 6:00. ☹️My waiter never did bring my iced tea ... When mentioning that, while I asked for the bill, he brought ,the iced tea back, when he brought the bill. Since he said they could not give me a to go cup for the iced tea. I felt, after being there for that length of time we had waited for our food, we were BEYOND READY to get out of there. I was not going to sit there and guzzle my drink down. I already felt embarrassed about the unacceptable amount of wait time my birthday guest had to wait for her birthday meal. I do understand the glitz in thepos system,, but having to wait for 90 minutes for food, when the restaurant was not packed, is unacceptable, in my opinion. Some monetaryconsideration should have been offered!!

The atmosphere at Hillstone is incredible the waitstaff are amazing the lighting the kitchen the views are all top notch. However, I did feel that the menu and selection felt uninspired, boring and far too expensive for the very run of the mill plates being served.

Our Easter lunch at Hillstone did not disappoint us. The vegetarian burger is very good. The service is excellent and it is in a beautiful location.??
