I recently dined here and had their chicken salad, which was absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh, and the dressing was perfectly balanced, making each bite enjoyable. However, I do think it could use a bit more chicken to make it even more satisfying. The ambiance was great, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’d definitely return—just hoping for a little extra chicken next time!

What A Memorable Evening at Hillstone From the moment we stepped into Hillstone we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was casual yet elegant, the service impeccable, and the food simply divine. While the old fashioned was a tad underwhelming (especially given its price), everything else exceeded our expectations. The appetizers, salads, and cheese bread were all delicious. My son declared the burger the best he's ever had, and my wife's rib-eye was cooked to absolute perfection. Even our picky 14-year-old son couldn't resist trying a bite and is already planning our return visit! My filet practically melted in my mouth, and the key lime pie provided a perfect ending to our meal. Even the coffee was exceptional. Our server, Leila, was attentive and professional, ensuring we had a truly wonderful dining experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable dinning experience in Dallas, look no further than Hillstone.

Hillstone consistently delivers excellent food and the servers are skilled at what they do. The French dip is one of the best in town. Pro tip: I ask for a spoon so I can pour the jus over the sandwich as opposed to dip it in the cup and watch half of the meat fall out. The house salad is a great and they prepare real croutons for it. It gets a bit dark for my taste when they dim the lights during dinner. The only thing I don’t like about Hillstone is the dread I feel in anticipation of my interaction with the hostess. I’ve been here many times and engaged with several different hostesses. Without exception, they convey a sense of pretentiousness. After a long day at work, that’s the last thing I want to experience.

I love hillstone specifically for their rotisserie chicken + kale salad and their french dip. That’s what I sent in for on Sunday, everything was delicious as always. Service was lacking though. I am used to going to Hillstone restaurants and I know the level of service expected and it was not up to par on this trip. Nothing horrible, our server was just not very interactive and didn’t not check on us enough. It felt more like a 3 star service experience. That being said, everything else was wonderful!

Just like R+D and Honor bar, Hillstone did not disappoint. The vibe in the restaurant is warm and vibey just like the other members of this restaurant’s parent group. We got the spinach artichoke and burger which were just as good as we expected. Service was friendly and we had a great time. Make sure you make a reservation as it gets quite busy. I highly recommend trying Hillstone or any of the other restaurants from its parent company.

Just as Houston’s is to Atlanta, Hillstone is the place for a wonderful upscale meal in the Dallas area. We ate at the bar and not only was the service (shoutout to the two lovely bartenders) on point, but so was the food and atmosphere. Would recommend this for a romantic dinner or business lunch.

Hillstone is a restaurant that’s always a real treat and one of my very favorite places ever to eat & drink! When they have the grilled artichokes in season, oh my GOSH, get them!! 🤩 The spinach & artichoke dip is just delicious, and the veggie burger vegetarian option was better than most I’ve tasted at a sit-down restaurant in a while! It’s always such a great time getting to dine at Hillstone, and besides the incredible food, the service is amazing as well! Always look forward to returning!

As a loyal patron for over twelve years, I can confidently say that Hillstone in University Park consistently exceeds expectations, earning its well-deserved five-star rating. The spinach artichoke dip is simply unrivaled; its creamy texture and perfect blend of flavors make it an irresistible starter every time. The salmon and toast dish is a true standout, showcasing the chef's mastery with its impeccable seasoning and tender, flaky fish. And let's not forget about the Hawaiian steak—a cut above the rest, it's succulent, juicy, and bursting with flavor. While the wait may sometimes stretch to an hour, every minute is worth it for the culinary experience that awaits. Hillstone in University Park has become more than just a restaurant—it's a cherished tradition and a guarantee of exceptional dining.
