   We enjoyed a wonderful meal in a lovely atmosphere. We were able to sit by the fireplace while enjoying the fresh oysters and excellent entrees. Halibut was amazing. Fantastic service!

   First time there. Overall not bad. Portions were a bit large. Had the calamari as appetizer. Could be for 3 people. Will go back to try again the atmosphere was nice. Suggestion...they were out of a couple of things..that should be mentioned when giving the menu

   We went for Valentine’s Day and the servers seemed like they wanted to get us out. Our courses came out ontop of eachother so that was sad. Food was very good but overall wasn’t the best experience.

   I will preface my review that it was on Valentines Day. However, I picked The Hill for the romantic culinary experience and we were disappointed. We arrived ten minutes before our 9pm reservation and were told it would be awhile before we could get seated so we went to the bar. The bartenders were slow and couldn't handle the crowd. Asked for a 2nd drink, never got it but was charged for it. The bartender apologized and took it off. The appetizer we both ordered had beets and goat cheese. The beets were fried in bread crumbs and the goat cheese was melted. I thought it was a healthy beet salad but had no idea from the menu description it would be the way it came out. Next we both ordered rhe Surf & Turf. We both enjoyed the lobster tail but the filets were overcooked. I asked for medium and she asked for medium well. I received medium well and hers was a hockey puck so she didn't eat it. For dessert I had a tasty cinnamon cheesecake but she tried the strawberry tiramisu and didn't like it and she loves tiramisu. Service was just OK but all were very nice. I would never choose to go back but if someone else picked it I would go. Overall spent over $400 on food and liquor and thw meal wasn't that good so it didn't meet my expectations based on the history of the chef owner.

   The food was pretty good, my main issue was really the wait time. My reservation was for 9 pm but didn’t sit until 10. Took another hour for the food. It’s worth noting that it was on Valentine’s Day so the restaurant may have been busier than usual.

    We have eaten at The Hill many times and had excellent food. I was optimistic that the Valentine's Day prix fixe menu would be equally good but, sadly it did not live up to the hype or the price. Service was OK not great. One waitress mistook the seared tuna for steak so... lacked experience. I personally would not go back for a holiday meal.
