Charlene Kinney bought the restaurant and shaped it into its current form. It switched from the Hillside Bar and Grill to the Hillside Manor last July. Chef Sean Quinn, who spent six years in the kitchen at Daniel's Broiler in Bellevue, has created a menu that melds elegant homestyle fare with classic steaks and seafood along with a few eclectic dishes. They should really think about extending their homestyle dishes to the dinner hour. The supreme comfort dish at lunch is a beef pot pie served in a cast-iron pot with a buttermilk biscuit.
Meatloaf comes with a white cheddar center and mushroom gravy.
The turkey feast comes with a cornbread cashew stuffing, cranberry sauce and pan gravy. The dinner menu is loaded with meat, which is not surprising considering Quinn's tenure at Daniel's Broiler. A few too many disappointments, I thought. We ordered it medium. It was grilled well beyond well.
