Hillstone

Incredible french dip and chili! This restaurant has a decidedly upscale feel and service to match. Our server (Oliver) was also the bartender and his recommendations and service were spot on! The French dip is one of the best i have had in a long time, tender perfectly *medium rare* shaved beef with a jus that was flavorful and not overly salty. The crusty roll held up well to the dip, and the accompanying horseradish was creamy and made the sandwich complete! We also were huge fans of the chili, a rare treat to find in SFO.. and it was meaty and flavorful, served with tortilla chips. Last but not least, the spaghetti squash with crimini mushrooms, parmesan and golden raisins was an excellent side in lieu of fries. Dog friendly outdoors for bonus points!

Lovely restaurant with an upscale vibe and menu, perfect for the area. With so many touristy restaurants it was so nice to find something a level above. In my humble opinion, any restaurant that has a dedicated expeditor is a cut above the rest! The wait was about 45 minutes for a table so we scooted into a couple bar seats and enjoyed the show! It's quite the diversified crowd, at let it was the night we were there! Service was a bit discombobulated but I suppose that added a little bit of flavor to the experience! Every single staff member we encountered was genuine, friendly and welcoming. We had the artichoke dip for appetizer and it came out quickly, piping hot with fresh tortilla chips and a wonderful addition of salsa and sour cream! Weird but welcomed! Hubby had the flat iron steak

Hillstone is Hillstone! Always great food and good service. If you are in the city you must try! I always make a reservation because I know how busy they can get and wait times are long. But if you have to wait it really is worth it! I never have any complaints every time we come service is always fast and you get your food quick! Love it!

We shared a Caesar salad as an entree, along with a flat iron steak and a cheeseburger. The food was good overall. The steak was soft but not outstanding, while the cheeseburger was tasty and came in a big portion. The outside seating was very nice and we really enjoyed it. Service was very good.

There were three of us, and we got the ribs and two Hawaiian ribeye steaks. The ribs were burnt, so we sent them back (tasted like charcoal). We asked for medium-rare steaks, but they were more like medium-well (dry, like well-done). The starters were just okay. Artichoke dip was the dish that stood out. Honestly, the food wasn't great. But the service? That was awesome! Super fast and cheerful, which really made up for the food. Thanks, Mr. Waiter (sorry I forgot your name). We didn't take many pics except for the burnt ribs and dry steak, even though it doesn't really show in the photo (we tasted it though!). Oh, almost forgot, they have no toothpicks 🤣
