Hillstone

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!!

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.

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.

Best martinis in town! The infamous Hillstone restaurant group owned. Anything with their rotisserie chicken is amazing… The kale and cashew salad is a fave. Also the crunchy cashew sushi roll. Make sure to get the artichokes when they’re in season! Where are the Who’s Who of cherry creek lunches.
