Went for Fathers day lunch! All the Hillstone restaurants have great atmosphere! Starters were artichoke dip and coconut shrimp sushi roll. Both were excellent! Two of us had the Dings chicken sandwich and one had the California burger. All were amazing! The coleslaw is one of the best we've ever had! Service was great! We definitely enjoy Hillstone wherever and whenever we go! read more

A deeply disappointing experience at our favorite local restaurant Hillstone in Cherry Creek has long been a favorite of ours. My husband and I have dined here for years, and since becoming parents, we've even brought our baby daughter with us multiple times. It's been one of the few places that not only welcomed us as a family, but made us feel comfortable--so much so that I knew the layout of the restaurant, the location of the changing table, and how best to settle her car seat at the table. Last night, we came to celebrate my sister-in-law being in town. We made a reservation and were excited to enjoy an evening together--my husband, sister-in-law, daughter, and myself. But what started as a joyful evening quickly turned into one of the most humiliating and upsetting experiences I've had as a new mother. Shortly after our drinks and appetizers arrived, a manager approached our table. He asked whether our daughter was a boy or girl and if there was anything he could do to make sure "she was having a good time." We were a bit confused, but I responded politely. He then said he could bring her some avocado or mango to eat--because he could hear her "all the way at the host stand." I asked if she was being too loud, and instead of offering clarity or reassurance, he simply repeated that he could hear her from the front and added, "She looks happy, I guess." For context, my daughter was not crying, screaming, or disrupting anyone's meal. She was laughing, cooing, and simply being a happy 6-month-old baby. In fact, one of the servers recognized her from a previous visit and came over to say how big she had gotten. My husband asked the manager if children were no longer welcome at the restaurant, as we've never had an issue before. The manager repeated his offer of fruit, and when I said she wasn't eating solids yet, he told us to let him know if there was anything she needed--and walked away. I was stunned. I felt humiliated, protective, and ashamed all at once. I told my husband I wanted to leave and take our food to go. I could no longer enjoy my meal in an environment where I was being made to feel like my daughter needed to be silenced for simply expressing joy. My husband informed our server, who was kind and apologetic--she hadn't even been aware the manager had spoken to us like that. I took my daughter to the car, and as I sat crying, guests leaving the restaurant kindly smiled and told me how cute she was--only reinforcing how unnecessary and inappropriate the manager's comments had been. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum anxiety, I've worked so hard to overcome the fear that I can't go out with my baby--that I'll be judged, shamed, or asked to keep her unseen and unheard. This experience cut deep. Not only because it was embarrassing, but because it reinforced every insecurity I've been trying to fight. And to have it happen at a restaurant that had previously felt safe and supportive made it feel like a betrayal. While another manager later apologized to my husband and acknowledged that the situation was poorly handled, the truth is: it never should've happened in the first place. If this restaurant is family-friendly, and if no guests had complained (which we were told was the case), then this interaction was not only unnecessary--it was completely inappropriate. I'm sharing this not to attack the restaurant, but to advocate for other parents, especially those with young children and new babies. No one should be made to feel like their child is a burden for simply existing in a public space. Joyful sounds from a baby should not be treated like a nuisance--especially in a setting where families are welcomed and where children have always been present. Hillstone, we've loved you for years. But this experience broke our trust. I hope in sharing this, more empathy and training can be extended to your team--because no parent, and no child, deserves to feel like they don't belong. read more

Incredible food, but rules trump the guest experience! I have loved this place over the years. Should have reviewed sooner, which would have been better. But here was my experience today: I had 2 hours to myself. Pure unadulterated sit at the Hillstone bar fun to enjoy the goings on. As a parent - you'll understand... I was relishing going there all day. I knew what I wanted to drink and didn't even need to see the menu. Just wanted to read some articles and enjoy drinks, dinner and dessert. I shed a tear sitting there remembering my fond memories at Hillstone. Asking my future in-laws for their daughter's hand in marriage, sharing the news about their grandchild and remembering my father in law's joy and laughter. He has since passed. As I wrapped up my delicious ribs, the woman next to me had finger food appetizers waiting for her friend to arrive. She was new to Hillstone. There were no more spots available but the standing tables behind us when her friend arrived and she kindly told the bartender she would take her appetizers to the standing table. The bar tender told her she could not do that. Only fries and drinks there... I was about to order dessert but told them I was done and would make room for the woman next to me. I was appalled they could not make an exception for a guest. "I don't make the rules!" Was the comment. On my way out I explained it to the manager and he sided with the rules. No "thanks for letting me know". The rules are the rules. WHAT??? How about guest experience? Did we forget about that? Kind of goes with the food. That is obviously the culture and I no longer need to go there to dine in person. I hope pick up is still allowed as I still have a gift card for Hillstone. I may need to re-gift if take out is not an option...my taste for the Hillstone dining experience has unfortunately soured. read more

Two visits. First was a Sunday evening a few weeks ago. I grabbed an open spot at one of the two bars, told the bartender I'd heard the spinach artichoke dip and French Dip Sandwich were both stellar. He replied, "That's all you need." The spinach artichoke is unique and very flavorful. It is thankfully not over saturated with mayo or dairy. The cheese is what distinguishes this dip. It is supposedly imported directly from Italy. It tastes like it. The French Dip. The bread is extremely high quality. Fresh and essentially perfect. There might be a moment you question the meat's consistency, however upon further notice you realize it is the exquisitely thin and fine slice of the meat which gives it that consistency. Service was stellar, and food fantastic. Two weeks later, had a mid afternoon reservation for my daughter and I for a late lunch. Due to a flight delay, I called Hillstone and cancelled. They had no reservations open for that evening, and said to come in anyway and get on the waiting list. We showed up around 6:30p. I mentioned to one of the hostesses we'd cancelled a reservation earlier that afternoon and were there to be put on the list. The hostess replied, "Ah, I'm the one you spoke with earlier," she paused and glanced at her tablet briefly, "It just so happens a two-top just came open, would you like to take that opening?" I can't make this up, folks. Completely stunned, we gladly said yes! We had the spinach artichoke dip (of course). It was consistently on point. My daughter opted for the French Dip, I opted for the Veggie Burger which I'd seen rave Yelp reviews of. I've attached a photo of it. It was massive and delectable, simply cannot say enough good things about it. Highly highly recommend. A lot of different components all come together for lights out flavor. You may have never thought a veggie burger could equate or exceed a $24 price tag - try this one at Hillstone and write your own review about the answer. :-) Service both times was fluid and prompt. This restaurant is busy for a reason, yet the staff is a well-oiled machine ready for the task. On my two visits, a 5-star experience end to end. read more

lived in Denver my entire life, and I can say last night was HANDS DOWN the rudest and worst interaction I've had with a restaurant staff in my life. I've always known Hillstone to be a bit "snooty", but accepted it as worth it for the food and atmosphere. Not any longer, this restaurant isn't deserving of the patrons they have, and clearly I am not the only person relaying this feedback to them, which unfortunately appears to be falling of deaf ears... read more

I reserved our office holiday luncheon two weeks ago . We were told we would be at separate tables, which we agreed to. Upon arrival, we were told by the greeter, that they do not accommodate parties more than 6. I advised we had reservations and simply wanted two tables next to one another as discussed during our reservations . She reiterated that "we don't accommodate parties more than 6. Whats worse, she did it in a snotty and condescending manner. She also did this in front of several employees and customers. As we promptly left, we saw multiple booths next to one another. We called and found out this was the Manager, Brittany. Brittany, treating customers like this is rude, unprofessional and flat out gives Hillstone a bad name. Shame on you. read more

Food is very good here. My pork chops were excellent. Price is ok. Upscale. Very much an adult urban professionals place. Why not a 5? I'm not sure. I really can't put my finger on it, but something just feels a little off. Perhaps it's me. Maybe it's a little too slick or a little too loud. I'd come here again, but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Service is always fantastic and I love the upscale while still relaxed vibe of Hillstone. The food and drinks are also great (french dip is *chefs kiss* and the grilled artichoke, coconut shrimp roll, and osaka style pressed sushi are all a hard yes.) Food also comes out quick which is always nice! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. THE FOOD is literally to the die for. You know why? Because their filet is perfectly cooked every single time. Shout out to the chefs there wow. I'm a big hill stone fan. When I lived in orlando, I went to the hill stone there all the time. And I am so glad denver has one! All of their ingredients are so fresh. Every taste and bite just melts into your mouth. If you haven't gotten the filet, please try! It's worth it. I also love all of their side dishes, my ultimate favorite is the creamed corn. Service is always astounding. Not once did my water ever went empty. The restaurant does get crowded every weekend so it's a must to arrive on time for your reservation. The decor is classy which makes me also feel classy. It's the perfect date night with your boo thang. I will always recommend this place! read more

Had lunch reservations on a Thursday for my wife's birthday. We started with the smoked artichokes and dipping sauce. They bracts were smoky and delicious. For lunch, my wife had the French Dip and fries, which she really enjoyed. I had the Chicken Salad and it was very tasty and bright. The corn in the salad was simply ingenious. We drank sparkling wine that was much better than we expected. The service was on point. There is a dress code and the setting of the restaurant is simply fabulous. read more

I love Hillstone! And to be honest I haven't had a wonderful experience the past couple times I have been here... but we still chose to give it another try for my birthday lunch this afternoon. They definitely didn't disappoint. Our server, Tyler, was overwhelmingly smiley and every point of his service was beyond phenomenal. He anticipated our needs before we could ask and everything just went so smoothly. Our table was immaculately clean, food arrived promptly, and because I felt the chicken wasn't totally up to par he was SO understanding and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you Tyler and thank you Hillstone for the wonderful experience :) My younger sister ordered the salmon... and will not stop raving about it. She asked if she could order one for dinner too lol. My moms burger, the California burger, was cooked perfectly. The chef was also particularly kind and exceeded all of my expectations coming to the table to make sure my food was exceptional. read more

I actually came here on Valentine's Day, but it's taken me nearly two weeks to fully comprehend how great of a meal it was. The ambience was spectacular. They have super cool decorations and the restaurant design and lighting is very thoughtfully done. There was also a very cozy fireplace. Tables on the outside of the restaurant were well spaced, but the inside of the restaurant had booths. Rather than close off full booths, they were seating people in such a way so that they weren't back-to-back with people at another booth. It was an interesting approach, but my mind ruler thought the spacing looked right. They are doing bar seating as well, with spacing in between parties. Service was super friendly and great. We were sat promptly for our reservation and greeted quickly. Our server told us the specials and brought water and drinks soon after the greeting. The food. was. INCREDIBLE. I spent some time thinking about when the last time was that I had such a good meal and could not come up with anything. I officially declare this the best meal I have ever eaten. I had The Hawaiian, which is a ribeye with pineapple-soy-ginger-marinade. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it was actually perfect. It had a sweetness to it and you could tell it was marinated, but it wasn't drowning in sauce and the meat wasn't overpowered. My husband got a bone-in ribeye, which was the special. He tried the "Quickstart" bloody mary and I had a margarita. We loved both of them. My only complaint is that they only have mashed potatoes available at dinner. I settled for some of the best fries I've ever eaten. This is a great spot for a date night. I can't wait to come back. Oh, did I mention there is a parking lot? There is a parking lot. read more

Everything was delicious, and we loved the warm vibe of this casual, yet nice restaurant. A great jeans, wedges, and a cute top type of spot. We all had cocktails, which we enjoyed. To start: warm bread that we unabashedly slathered with extra butter, served alongside some tasty olives and almonds. We also got a sushi roll that I could happily eat every day for the rest of my life. It had coconut and macadamia nuts and was different than other rolls I've had, but the flavors totally worked together without being too weird. I think it was the hiramasa roll? For my entree, I ordered the ruby red trout. It was delicious, though unfortunately not local (from Idaho, but Colorado). I subbed the coleslaw for kale salad and was a very happy (and full) gal. read more

Hillstone is always great. Highly recommend the Thai tuna roll, French dip and hot fudge sundae.

Artichokes are in season they are a must on your order. Service is friendly and professional. The space is very welcoming.

My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant. We have eaten here three times and each time we are treated with spectacular service from the host stand until we get our check. The cocktails are so delicious and just the right strength. I always order the gin martini and there is always a server replacing my cocktail glass with a cold one. My favorite entree is The Hawaiian which is the ribeye with a pineapple ginger soy marinade. The steak is high quality and the flavor is impeccable. Our servers are always so friendly and attentive. This restaurant has become our favorite date spot in a very short amount of time. I highly recommend this restaurant for fans of American fare in a cozy ambiance. read more

Went here for Saturday date night and we LOVED it. It's been years since I've been to a Hillstone restaurant. Wow, I am so glad we decided to dine here. The Cherry Creek location is prime. Plenty of swanky rooftop or speakeasy bars nearby if you want to have a cocktail before or after dinner. Our reservation was at 9 and we got there a bit early so we decided to grab a cocktail at the side bar. I got an old fashioned with Buffalo Trace and my boyfriend ordered a Blanton's neat. He was SO excited when he saw that Blanton's! We can't find it anywhere in Denver so that was a plus for us! It took them a while to prepare our table and we didn't get seated until 9:15. As the host sat us she apologized for the delay and offered an appetizer on the house. We so appreciated that. First up? Spinach artichoke dip for our complimentary appetizer. It is served with salsa, sour cream, and warm tortilla chips. We also started off with a spicy tuna roll. We thoroughly enjoyed both of our appetizers. The entrees were aay-maaayy-zinggg, okayyy? I got the Scottish Salmon with a warm kale salad and the pomm puree. My boyfriend got the Ribeye medium rare (which was one of the specials of the day) with a loaded baked potato. That may be the best salmon I think I've had. It had the perfect amount of seasoning, but not too much to overpower the taste of the fish. I didn't get to taste the ribeye but my boyfriend ate every last bite, he was so full by time we left! As we were finishing up dinner we had another round of drinks, this time I decided to order a Sazerac (a whiskey cocktail made with absinthe). The bartender delivered the drink to our table apologizing for the wait (since she had to chill the glass). Chloe our server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Guest service speaks volumes. They know what they're doing here. After we left I immediately told my boyfriend that we will be going back there. No question. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. We sat in a dim corner and it felt as if it was just the two of us in the entire restaurant. Thank you Hillstone for a memorable evening! Keep that Blanton's on the shelf for us. read more

Swanky place with a high-end feel. The food matched it's atmosphere in looks and taste. My friend and I ordered and split the "House-Made Veggie Burger" (without the bun...they unfortunately did not have a Gluten Free bun) and the Thai Steak and Noodle Salad. The Veggie Burger was the best one I have ever experienced. It was juicy, thick and stock full of so much goodness. The Thai Steak & Noodle Salad tasted just as amazing. However, I forgot to check on the type of noodles used in it, I don't think they were Gluten free. The service was amazingly fast and the food came equally fast. I loved this place and would highly recommend anyone visiting Denver to try out this place. read more

You can't go wrong with Hillstone, no matter the location. The food and service is always consistent which is something I always appreciate. My husband and I were starving by the time dinner arrived so we ordered a ton. We started with the salmon appetizer which is always perfect. Good size portion of perfectly cooked salmon. We also had the grilled artichokes which I haven't had in forever. They were so good! Perfectly charred. For my main I couldn't resist the prime rib dip which is really the best dip I've ever had. My husband loved his trout. Of course my husband and I had to share the sundae which is simple but the high quality ingredients really make it. Service was excellent and we left very full and happy! read more

This used to be my go-to upscale restaurant in the Denver area, but sadly I can no longer say that. Our past 2 experiences have been less than great. From the unwelcoming hostesses to a lack of menu item availability and a charred filet mignon, I will be finding my new go-to spot and can no longer recommend Hillstone to friends and family. The servers have always been great but a great server can't make up for a $70 charred steak and lack of menu options. If you do choose to dine here, don't get hustled by the deck next to their parking lot that will charge you $40 for a couple of hours on the weekends. They have a private parking lot but spots almost never open up in it. read more

Love this place a ton - the food is excellent. Specifically the nigiri plate, French dip sandwich, and rotisserie and kale salad. Just a small note we make a reservation each time and have waited at least 20mins, we're told a starter would be comped and then it didn't happen. Will still come back though read more

Nice spot for dinner in Cherry Creek. We came in on a Thursday evening without reservations and while the wait was a little longer than ideal, we were able to nab a table by the bar and enjoy a couple glasses of wine to pass time. The place was definitely poppin' for a weeknight. We were eventually seated and enjoyed everything we ordered. The smoked salmon appetizer was pretty filling but we couldn't help ourselves. The hawaiian ribeye was cooked to perfection. The nigiri plate was surprisingly fresh and the side cashew kale salad was a generous portion. read more

My husband and I are mildly obsessed with Hillstone and come here whenever we feel like giving ourselves a dinner treat. We'd come here every week if it wasn't so pricey, but can't complain much as the food and drinks are totally worth it. Their ribs are mouthwatering and fall off the bone, the rosemary focaccia next level, and I regularly order their house made veggie burger. We've tried a few rolls that are also tasty, but not our go-to menu items. read more
