The Hill features globally influenced, seasonal American cooking with the lightness and bright global flavors Chef Ben Pollinger is known for. Seafood, steaks, game, and vegetable-centric options are featured on the menu.
The style takes a cue from Scandinavian minimalism with a rustic farmhouse décor accented by mid-century design elements, industrial elements and warm earthy colors and natural tones. The atmosphere is inviting and approachable, suitable for everyday dining and also features a full bar, private dining room and outdoor patio.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Hill!

The spicy margarita was delish! Apps and entrees were yummy and generous portions. The main dining room was a little loud when full, but other than that, we had a great time.

Our server was friendly, but we had to wait a while for the food even though the restaurant wasn’t crowded. Maybe there’s a way to improve the timing.
