The Hill features globally influenced, seasonal American cooking with the lightness and bright global flavors Chef Ben Pollinger is known for. Seafood, steaks, game, and vegetable-centric options are featured on the menu.
The style takes a cue from Scandinavian minimalism with a rustic farmhouse décor accented by mid-century design elements, industrial elements and warm earthy colors and natural tones. The atmosphere is inviting and approachable, suitable for everyday dining and also features a full bar, private dining room and outdoor patio.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Hill!

The Hill hits on all cylinders—attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, a bartender who knows how to make a proper drink, consistently good food, and a lovely head hostess who is chatty and happy to make good wine and food suggestions.

Very good food, excellent wine, and superior coffee. We have only 2 criticisms: First, the main course menu has too high a proportion of steaks and chops and other masculine things. Second, the entire dessert menu is composed of cakes. One or two lighter or gooier desserts would be appreciated. We look forward to returning to The Hill, but next time we will probably share a dessert or skip that course entirely.

Food was good but once again service just is not up to par. We waited a half hour plus for our desert on a fixed menu. Coffee was done but desert still had not come. Waiter said three times it’s coming and then we had to take it home. No excuse for that and kind of ruins night. Restaurant was not even crowded.

We had a very nice round table for 7 people. Appetizers and most entrees were delicious. The tuna entree missed the mark. The tuna itself was lacking flavor and the kimchi noodles were too spicy and didn’t seem to pair well with the tuna.

The Hill serves quality, well prepared and reasonably priced food. Expect to spend about $90 or more per person for a two-course meal with a drink and tip. Our waitress for our party of 7 was exceptional, handling our various requests with aplomb. The dining room was about half full early on a Friday night. The ambience lent itself to conversation and the patronage ranged from children to seniors. This is a great place for multi-generational gatherings and celebrations.
