One of the best spots in town. Hillstone is consistently first class in service, food, and drinks. The French French Dip and ribs are out of this world. If the artichokes happen to be in season, order them/shoot me a DM. The grilled artichokes are the BEST!!

Simply divine! The grilled artichoke and sushi was absolutely delicious. Paired this with wine and a kale salad and left feeling so refreshed and satisfied. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been going to Hillstone about once a week for the past year, and I continue to be impressed. The service is amazing and everyone is quite friendly. My favorite part is the vibe that this place gives off. You can go fancy or casual with your meal. Wine and steak? Or maybe a burger and a beer?It’s all amazing. I highly recommend the crisp martini. I lived in Memphis for 10 years and have to say that their ribs here are on point with what you would get at a local BBQ Shop in the south.

Never had a bad experience and they have the best ribs in town… ?

Large and gorgeous restaurant with a diverse menu. The service made our experience memorable. Our waiter was friendly and enthusiastic. He made great recommendations in both food and drinks. Wonderful location in Cherry Creek North where it’s easy to walk around and explore nearby businesses. It is also walking distance to a shopping mall.

Visited Hillstone for first time recently. Hard to get reservation even for lunch on a weekend day. I had Grilled Chicken Salad, which was full of chicken and other goodies, and a wonderful dressing. My spouse had the soup special, Green Chili, with a Nice Little House Salad and the Rosemary Focaccia Warm Bread Plate with olives and almonds. Our daughter had a California Burger with fries. Their food prices are a little expensive, but the proportions are large. Felt their alcoholic beverages to be more expensive than we were willing to pay, thus a Very Good rating rather than Excellent.

I can't speak more highly of this restaurant. Like others in the Hillstone portfolio, it's well managed, has impeccable service, and the food is fantastic. This one is conveniently located in the Cherry Creek area and has a great setting for a date night or just a nice evening on the town. Food is superb and cooked to perfection. Service is top tier. The restaurant is dark inside like other Hillstone properties, so do be mindful of that when you arrive. Also, get a reservation, as dinner hours tend to be very crowded and hard to grab a table.

Having not been to Hillstone in many years I was very impressed with the whole experience. I was able to book a reservation through the website and then we were greeted when arriving.I requested a booth for a birthday lunch and was seated at one. Perfect.I had a water with lemon and my Mom had an iced tea. The waitress was great in refilling the water. My only suggestion is to provide the same sized glasses for water as other beverages. With the cost of any meal at Hillstone it's a small jab for not paying for a tea/soda/alcoholic drink to only give a small glass.The artichoke is a fun appetizer to start the meal. It is smoked and served with remoulade. They give you four quarters and it was more than enough for 2 people (took some home).The French dip is divine. It is perfectly sliced prime rib on a delicious bun with a side of au jus and coleslaw or French fries. I tried the coleslaw and it was good but nothing unique. I'll try the fries next go round.The Thai steak & noodle salad was good but a bit overdressed. A good portion for lunch or dinner.I wanted to highlight the GM Will Dasco who went above and beyond during our meal.The parking lots have some space but it fills up quickly. There is street meter parking as well.Definitely will come back soon.

Delicious food and well taken care of by all the servers. The artichoke was amazing!! Tons of seating, good place to watch a game, overall great atmosphere.

Really expected to like this spot but definitely was let down. We visited Hillstone after having a reservation issue with a different restaurant. Called and spoke with Audrey (apologize if I spell this wrong) and she informed us that there wasn’t anything she could do to get us on a waitlist without being there, (we were still 10-15 mins out). No sweat. It is what it is. We arrive check-in with Audrey and her lack of understanding and communication to what we wanted/expected was concerning. We stated we would like to sit at a table, and if we could wait at the bar. To which she responded I still have a few parties waiting to sit at the bar. Alright no problem, we find a place to wait, as I sit uneasy I go up to her again and confirm, “Hey I just want to clarify we do want and will wait for a table” sometime later she comes back and let’s us know there are two bar spots available to which we decline and communicate again we would like a table. Some time passes and we get sat at a table. While we were waiting we had ordered a drink, drinks meet us back at our new table and upon first sip my Beefeater (Cheap stuff) Gin and Tonic was extremely flat and Gin forward. I let my server Holden know and he took care of it right away. We order sushi and deviled eggs before our entrees and we’re more than happy with the rainbow roll and the measly 3 eggs for $7. Lol. they were good, but no value. The new Gin and Tonic arrives and is way better than the first one. We enjoy our food and wait for our entrées. My date ordered the Rotisserie chicken which I got a chance to try and I thought had good flavor and perfectly crisp skin, good job there. I ordered the double cut Pork chop, which I was not ecstatic about. Food Safety requires a minimum of 145°F and a 3 minute rest for Pork. That’s MINIMUM. I don’t even know if my pork met minimum food safety requirements. I have never cooked Pork rare/medium rare, nor do I plan to. Hillstone lastnight apparently did/ does and they don’t give you a say or let you know that’s how it’s cooked. The sear was fantastic and the flavor was there but the cooked temperature of the meat was not, I really had been wanting to come here for a while and was extremely dissatisfied. I ordered a second Gin and Tonic and it was the same as the first one, flat and overpowered with Gin. I’m not a binge drinking college student I don’t need 3oz of liquor in a 4oz glass. Didn’t finish my entree, didn’t finish my 2nd drink and still happily paid for it all plus making sure Holden(who was great) didn’t leave empty handed. $184 bucks for 2 people to have a mediocre experience in Cherry Creek. Thank you Hillstone.
