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!

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.

The band there was great. The food was very good. Nice bar. They had a nice porch area which will be really nice in warmer weather. This was our first time - we will go back

Delicious food, attentive service. Large open dining room. A small menu but with enough variety to suit most tastes. Excels at seafood, with variety, technique and presentation. A keeper.

The Hill is a top notch restaurant. Quite possibly the best restaurant in the area. The food is delicious, the service attentive and professional and the decor is warm and inviting. The menu changes seasonally, but certain things remain. The halibut is always excellent as is the short rib mac & cheese. The mushroom risotto was creamy and delicious. A pork special over beans was very good. Salad well seasoned and dressed. Save room for desert !
