Go! You won't regret it at all! Service and food were perfect! The restaurant is upscale relaxed. The crush spritz was great!

Food was excellent, service was very attentive And the ambiance on a nice day is excellent. Just hope you aren't downwind sitting outside. If you know the embarcadero, it could have that nasty sewage smell at certain gusts of wind. But overall great spot. Drinks could be a little stronger hence the kind of ice they use. But overall great place.

I would give Hillstone staff five stars. But $21 for a Hendricks martini? Please. Can't go back.

Yummy! This place is great! The waiter the hostess the food!! You name it! Everything delicious and always consistent as far as taste and quality! I love this place! This location is beautiful accross from the bay and the entrance to the boat service to take you to Alcatraz Lovely....we will be back

I've been here so many times, and I absolutely love this place! The service is top-notch every time, the ambiance is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. I have a ton of favorites here, including the barbecue ribs, French dip Au Jud, Macho salad, clam chowder, and their Sunday specials. Highly recommend this restaurant!

First time dining at Hillstone and had an amazing meal! We were a party of three and my two friends are regulars here. They spoke highly of Hillstone, so I was excited to eat here based on their praises. The verdict? AMAZING! Definitely exceeded my expectations from the food, to the service, to the overall vibe of the establishment. If you're looking for a good eat in this area of the city, don't look much further than Hillstone. I took 100% of my friends' recommendations for my order. We shared the grilled artichokes for an appetizer and I had the USDA Prime Famous French Dip with their infamous french fries. Both were fantastic! This was my first time having artichokes this way, and everything about it was perfection. The smokiness from the grill complemented the artichoke so well. If they have this item on the menu, I definitely recommend adding it to your order. The French Dip was one of the best I've had. The meat was tender and flavorful even before the au jus. The fries are worth all the hype. They were the perfect side to the meal. (They are so particular about their fries, they won't even let you order them to go.) Hillstone made a strong first impression. Everything about the meal was extraordinary. I'm looking forward to my next visit for another round of grilled artichokes and to try more off of their menu.

I would recommend this restaurant again and again! I came here with a friend this weekend to have dinner since we both have not been to this restaurant and heard wonderful things about it. Made a reservation online for around 6:45 PM which was pretty easy to do. Once at the restaurant I was impressed with the ambiance, which gave a high end type of vibe. We were welcomed by the friendly faces of the hosts and waiters and waitresses. Specifically shoutout to our hostess, Alyssa, and our waitress, Annabelle! They were both really friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu and had great food recommendations on the menu! They were extra attentive with our needs and overall a pleasure to interact with. On top of the great service, the food was stellar. My friend and I decided to split the each of the items on the menu since we wanted to try a variety of things. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but it is definitely worth it. I provided my thoughts on each of the items below: Caesar salad: 4.5/5! I've been craving a Casear salad for weeks and this definitely satisfied my craving! It was great, however it had more of a vinegar taste compared to a traditional Caesar dressing. We decided not to get chicken with the salad since it was $6 extra, but I feel like this would have changed my rating to a 5/5 if I would have added it. Spinach and Artichoke Dip: 5/5! This was the best spinach and artichoke dip and they provided the dip with a side of sour cream and salsa. They do provide more chips if you ask for it. Overall this was one of my favorite things I ordered here. Famous French Dip Au Jus: 5/5! Never having a French dip sandwich and initially confused with the sauce that I had to dip it in. It was delicious and very filling! Came with fries and the fries were delicious also! Also, we ordered wine and it was delicious! I felt like the wine was reasonably priced based on the amount that we got. Overall this place was delicious and I will definitely be back!

Hillstone's is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone- bring that special someone (family, friend or a date) for stellar service, great food and ambiance. I first came here on Mothers Day to treat my Mom for brunch. Although there is PLENTY of indoor and outdoor seating (as well as at the bar), I highly suggest making a reservation to secure your spot because it's a very popular place. On this visit we had: MOM- Apricot glazed chicken, Caesar salad and a side of broccolini with parmesan. No complaints from Mom- she loved the flavor of the chicken. ME- Off the menu item of salmon salad. Salmon atop a bed of greens with avocado chunks, crispy onions, grapefruit slices (yum) and a nice tangy dressing. The salmon was a bit too undercooked for me so they were nice enough to cook it to medium for me. And it was light and delicious! We also ordered fries because well that's how Mom and I roll. The fries come with homemade dipping sauces (we had a garlic ranch that was so good) and the fries are so well seasoned you don't need to add anything to them. Although they do come served with the restaurant's secret seasoning blend. My 2nd visit was for a friends birthday. We had: FRIEND- French dip sammie with au jus and fries. ME: Grilled rainbow trout with fried rock shrimp and the infamous fries. Oh my! The portion was enough for two meals but it was so dang good- I kept eating and of course we could NOT put down the fries. Order them- you won't be disappointed. We also had spinach dip- it was made to order and another cannot stop eating item. LOL Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. Afterwards, walk it off by the Pier and the water. Oh plenty of street and public parking across the street. Thank me later!
