text: My boyfriend took me to Hillstone on Saturday night for dinner to celebrate our year anniversary nnThe interior is stunning A gorgeous patio with big open windows a wrap around bar that is decorated with expensive wines whiskeys etc and fresh fruit the lighting is dim for us romantic folks and the overall architecture is modernnnHillstone has exceptional service From the second we walked in the door we experienced nothing but real people trying to help us enjoy a relaxing evening with dangerously delicious food and beverage If you are a wine snob this place is for you I LOVE myself a killer glass of wine but seeing as how my boyfriend already spoiled us with two new bottles which we have yet to enjoy together we decided to go with cocktails Our bartender was fabulous and friendly BUT he did not know what a Moscow Mule was when I ordered it and my boyfriends Manhattan tasted more like watered down whiskey with muddled orange With no hopes for a Moscow Mule I decided to order their Margarita on the rocks since I could see at least other people at the bar with one Cannot go wrong right It was ok A little too much sweet and sour for my pallet I was a little annoyed when I asked for a drink suggestion from the bartender he automatically started with We have Cosmopolitans Lemon drops as soon as he said Lemon Drop I felt my face go blank and in my head I said really man I know I am a girl but really I almost stopped him dead in his tracks to order a glass of whiskey Straight up He was just being a great and informative bartender so I of course understood Just thought that was fairly entertaining I am sure they have both those drinks ordered a lot nn The food is stupid amounts of tasty and the portions are more than anyone would really ever need Which is good right Leftovers We ordered the Cheese Bread Grilled Artichoke and The Vegetarian Burger to share So basically we ordered pizza one vegetable and a hamburger and fries I felt so heavy after ha But boy or boy my taste buds were singing and dancing their little hearts out nnYou get large pieces of half an artichoke which was more than enough for us We ended up taking one of the artichoke pieces home you get fairly large sized pieces of soft warm ciabata bread covered in two cheeses with olive oil and herbs and the Vegetarian Burger is on a classic hamburger bun with tomatos shredded lettuce pickles and the burger itself has some sort of orange chutney or glaze on it SO GOOD This veggie burger is pretty well known and popular from what I hear Even steak lovers have got to try itnnThis place has a higher price point and for good reason Great atmosphere amazing service and food that makes your heart happy You will be happy to pay for the experience
