   We started with their Paint and Sip session from 12 to 2 PM, which was an absolute blast. The ambiance was creative and relaxing, and the staff ensured we had everything we needed to unleash our inner artists. It was such a fun and unique way to bond with my mom and Gabby—lots of laughs, a little paint flipping, and beautiful keepsakes to take home! After exploring the lively Universal CityWalk, we came back at 5 PM for dinner, and Five on the Hill absolutely wowed us. The chef’s gift, a stunning Oaxacan-inspired chile relleno with butternut squash purée, crème fraîche, and pomegranate arils, was a masterpiece—rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My mom adored the Elf’s Pumpkin Pot Pie, a heartwarming dish with tender chicken and flaky puff pastry served in a petite pumpkin—it was pure comfort on a plate. And let’s not forget the lobster tacos—delicate, flavorful, and a perfect way to indulge! From the creative vibes at the Paint and Sip to the unforgettable culinary experience, Five on the Hill made our Universal City adventure truly remarkable. Can’t wait to return! 🌟

   The food was great top notch. Drink very delicious. Only problem I had this visit was service. The waiter not once checked on us. It took my friend and I asking for help for something to be done. I never got a sauce a requested until the very end of meal. When requesting a refill once again waited till the end. I will visit again to give it a second chance. Overall everything else was great.

   Was expecting a little more than what I saw in pictures. There wasn’t a lot of food options, the view in the pictures were different versus in person. The view was in a parking lot.

   I don’t take time to write reviews but having family to visit in town to experience a nice brunch in LA it was very disappointing and beyond overpriced even for LA for the quality of food, which was not good. Food was not seasoned well for the Benedict and the meat was so tough in the surf and turf omelette it had to be sent back and taken off the bill. The manager was not accommodating for our pre-reserved part of 8 and tried to put us at a table that didn’t fit all of us then proceeded to seat us in benches under direct sunlight with no ask regarding shading when we later found out they had large umbrellas to use for shading the picnic benches. For a Hilton there should be a level of standard and this was not it, tourist area or not.

   Food and ambiance was great. However it took 20 minutes for our waiter to return to just take our drink order. Over all we had a decent experience but wished we had better service otherwise we would’ve stayed longer

    I was excited to come here for a date night however I felt like there lacked consistency in the food, the table next to us ordered the lamb lollipops and they had 4 on their plate however when we ordered ours, only 3 were on our plate so I’m a bit confused and disappointed in the lack of consistency of food portions. The espresso martini flight was great but wished it had some festive flavors like peppermint and gingerbread instead of them all essentially being the same just different liquor mixes, felt like a missed opportunity there. Overall had a great time and the mushroom truffle flatbread and drunken noodles were fantastic!
