[EX Q]: This place is dark. Loud music, loud obnoxious people comes here....food was terrible. We got the calamari and it was made not like the usual crispy nice dip...it was soggy and spicy. The two steak was order was ok...the more you took a bite of it...the more you didn't want to eat it. My boyfriend and I didn't even eat a 1/3 of the steak and was done with it. It was really salty. All of their special sauce was very plain and weird. Our bill was over $100 and it was terrible. Never come here to eat. I heard vodka cocktails are good here...I'm allergic to vodka...so doesn't benefit me here.

Never coming back....waste of time and money.

[EX Q]: OMG Batman get in here NOW!
So I love pan roast, I mean I love it! The pan Roast I had here was amazing! I took the fire level up to a 5 (1-10) and it was very good, next time I will go a 2 or 3. First time I have had this served with rice, interesting, but very good!
The oysters on the half shell? I almost fell out of my seat! They were large and super fresh and yummy!
This was a second attempt to eat here. The first time we had 5 in our group, this time just 2. So the bummer is, it really is just a bar, a small bar, maybe 20 seats in a half round.
I love watching the chef prepare food, it is just cool. The waitress was super nice and attentive, the food was amazing!
I'm from S.F so sea food is my thing and this place rocks.
Yes the casino is old and smokey, don't care, the food trumps it.
Parking was easy peesy (I did mention it is in a casino)..
No reservations, might have to wait in a line, looking on and feeling growing stomach pains. I wish this were a tad bit bigger, not the best for a group (if you all want to eat at the same time) a single or 2 ppl is your best bet..
I will be back!

[EX Q]: This morning was my second experience at Hillside Spot. Both experiences have been mediocre at best. The first trip we attempted to order the Croque Madame as it comes and veg style. To our dismay we could not get the dish veg style because it comes completely pre-made w/ ham. For a spot that seemingly tales pride in specialty, local and quality, one would think their signature item would be made fresh to order.

The second visit consisted of below par juevos rancheros w/ soggy "country potatoes".

Let me clarify, country potatoes are supposed to be diced potatoes usually fried or baked w/ butter or oil. These were hash browns and nothing more...

Lastly, the wait staff was dull and uninviting. There didn't seem to be any communication between the staff whatsoever. The table in front of us sat in different stages of dirty for the better part of 15 minutes while every server/busser passed by, glancing each time.

The space itself is lovely. Reclaimed wood, lots of sun, and calming colors. This is a place I may come back to just have an early morning coffee and work, although the coffee is nothing to write home about.

Oh, and on the way out several staff directly looked at us and didn't see us off... I mean I understand if you are busy but they were far from it.
