    Service is impeccable. This place could be a michelin rated restaurant as the service was performed. The valet understood I wanted to park somewhere and accomodated us. The hostess told us we didn't want to sit where they had us set to sit because of a lot of noise in that area. This was surprising. This was concern and setbup an alternative. You don't see such service in a local kind of place. The service from the server/waiter was impeccable. Patrick was a true server as far as serving us, the customer. Made sure I tasted the beer I was unsure of, through out the night. Just on top of his game. Overall, the service in this place would be worth going even if the food wasn't good BUT it is good. This is a local restaurant servicing real nice people as real nice people. I will frequent =his place

    The Hill serves quality, well prepared and reasonably priced food. Expect to spend about $90 or more per person for a two-course meal with a drink and tip. Our waitress for our party of 7 was exceptional, handling our various requests with aplomb. The dining room was about half full early on a Friday night. The ambience lent itself to conversation and the patronage ranged from children to seniors. This is a great place for multi-generational gatherings and celebrations.
