From start to finish, Hilltop Kitchen is a hidden gem! It’s taken me way too long to get there for a meal, but today was the day and I am so glad I did. We were sat quickly by a lovely young lady who I came to find out is the owner’s daughter. There were several tables occupied but we were greeted promptly and attended to. We ordered the grilled cantaloupe with whipped ricotta crostini and it may be one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted, ever! The drizzle of hot honey topped with pistachios was the perfect accompaniment. I also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad and my husband had the Philly sandwich , both were perfection. We were not planning on dessert, but, then, we did with no regrets. The black cherry cheesecake was delicious and shareable. Honestly, even after a wonderful

I absolutely loved my first visit here over the weekend! The atmosphere is elegant and classy, and everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. The outdoor area is beautiful, and the service was truly phenomenal. I had a burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious. I’m already looking forward to coming back for the holidays—I can’t wait to see how they decorate for Christmas.👌🏾👌🏾⭐️

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem!! My husband and I went here for the first time last night for our anniversary and we were blown away!! We were welcomed by friendly staff and a beautifully decorated dining room. I got the “spicy Santa” margarita which was a delicious spin off a cosmopolitan but with tequila. They have hand’s down the best calamari I have ever had!! The food was exceptional. I highly recommend coming here and experiencing all that they have to offer.

I wasn’t charged for my meal, I took one bite and it turned my stomach, lost appetite. I examined the meat and I was frustrated, the lamb burger I ordered wasn’t just dried out and burnt it tasted rotten. I have a food safety certificate (18 yrs) for the state of New York and I was appalled by what I bit into. Just one appetizer, 2 drinks - diet coke, smallest sweet tea I’ve ever seen in my life as a beverage in any restaurant (once tried I asked for sugar it was unsweetened tea) and my wife Jens shrimp scampi that was small portion but she said it was delicious though. The warm baked bread was good but the butter and oil was bland, the coconut shrimp appetizer was just “shrimp tempura” on a slice of pineapple and shaved coconut. - It appears and taste exactly like Costco Shrimp Tempura b

We went into town to go to a different restaurant, and happily ended up here! The atmosphere and service were wonderful, and just what we were looking for on a snowy date night. The bourbon drinks were delicious and our salmon and burger very good. Esp with the homemade chimichurri sauce. Good music in the background and just a nice spot for a nice meal.
