Fantastic and masterful! If you are looking for a unique, plant-forward dining experience, Hillside Kitchen is a must-visit.
My husband and I enjoyed the ten-course (Menu B) tasting menu and non-alcoholic pairing. Every plate was beautifully presented, creative, and designed with thoughtful and perfectly curated flavor combinations. As a vegetarian, we truly appreciated how vegetables were showcased in such a celebratory and exciting way—each dish was a work of art, both visually and in taste.
Beyond the food, the experience was fun and engaging. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to explain each dish, which made the meal even more intimate. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall vibe. The experience felt special, yet relaxed.
I highly recommend treating yourself and your favorite humans to Hillside Kitchen!
I visited this establishment with high expectations; however, my experience ultimately fell short. While the staff was delightful and impressively knowledgeable, the food did not justify its price. Additionally, the meal lacked any form of protein, leading me to question the process behind the menu design and how the restaurant earned its hat. I was unaware that the entire menu was vegetarian, and I believe it would be beneficial for the restaurant to clearly advertise its vegetarian or vegan status from the outset to avoid any customer confusion. Unfortunately, given my experience, I would not recommend this restaurant to others.
One of the best meals we've had. Full stop.
Thoughtful, interesting, unique. Love the concepts and execution - local and sustainable produce. I had the alcoholic pairing which was really good; my partner had the non alcoholic and really appreciated the cool options presented. Really well-balanced meal and drinks, and didn't leave feeling uncomfortably over-stuffed when we left, but definitely good value for the quality and amount of food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Intimate setting. 10/10 would recommend.
