   Great experience on Father's Day. Our server was so nice and hard working. The food was fantastic. It was one of the best, if not the best, crab cake I ever had. Clams and shrimp were excellent too.

   The crab cakes were fantastic , the drinks were very good and the service was attentive but not overbearing. The coleslaw left a lot on the table though, it was wilted and lacked flavor. My dining partner said it tasted like “field”. Be aware that the menu and pricing on Open Table are incorrect so be prepared for different offerings and higher prices. This was our first visit and will definitely be returning.

   Food was wonderful. We were a party of six and had requested a standard table but were seated at a hightop right next to the gentleman providing live music. Unfortunately, it was impossible to talk, kind of disappointing.

   Let me start with the good. The food was great, nice portions. Loved the crab cakes, raw oysters shrimp and snow crab legs The bad. We had made a reservation a month ago for 730p. We arrived at 720 and was told it would be 15-30 mins. 15 mins later they said nothing till 8p. The manager did comp us a round of drinks. But we were exhausted from UD graduation, had been up since 4a. And I believed that if we didn’t ask, we may have been waiting even longer. A reservation is for a set time. If we had shown up 30 mins late they most likely would have cancelled our reservation.

   This was our first in-dining since new management began in 2020 and we found it to be much improved since our last experience. The menu is more diverse and many new and creative options are now available. We had the seafood tortellini with shrimp in a lobster sauce topped with a delicious crab cake. It was amazing in both taste and serving size. We also had grilled halibut on a bed of mashed potatoes, spinach and carrots that were sautéed in honey. The huge serving of fish was coated with bacon crumbles. That quickly became our favorite grilled fish. Highly recommend both of these dishes. The service was prompt and attentive. We will return often.

   My friend and I needed to celebrate Mother's Day instead of being alone. I made reservation on line, arrived, was seated quickly and enjoyed every plate full. I realize your staff was very busy and appreciate everything they did but I feel we had to wait too long to have the food trays replenished. Other than that, IT WAS A WONDERFUL WAY TO HAVE DINNER FOR MOTHER'S DAY......Our waiter was fantastic!

    This was our first time here and the customer service was terrible. We made reservations for 12:15 stood outside past that time. It was Mother’s Day so I’m assuming that why things went the way they did for seating that needed to get configured while everyone waited to practically get in the door. Our first time and we sat down unsure what to do asked a few questions to the hostess who was seating us and she was very nice. Our waitress was not attentive we had to ask other people to get her so we could get crab legs being as though I didn’t eat anything besides salad from the Buffett. Honestly wouldn’t go again. I Loved the crab legs but the whole crabs were terrible.

    There were no all you can eat crabs.They said shipment didn’t come in.Ended up paying 25.00 for 1lb of crab legs.Weren’t even hot. Experience was awful.Waitress kept talking to this one table,didn’t even come over to see if there was anything we needed.It was my sons birthday. I used to go to Hilltop because it was nice.It is not like that now.Don’t think I will go back.Very disappointing e

    We had a great meal here! The menu unfortunately isn't accurate on OpenTable, so they didn't have all you can eat snow crab, which my hubby was looking for, but everything we had was delicious. Our server was fantastic. Live music made our anniversary even more fun.

    We love Hilltop. Great fresh seafood and friendly service. The tables were well-spaced out which was nice as well. The steamed shrimp and broiled crab cakes are phenomenal. No filler in the crab cakes. Great drink selections from the bar as well.

    The website did not reflect the Mother's day menu. I went there with the expectation of getting all you can eat crab legs and they changed it to "by the pound" the legs were super small. They also did not have a regular menu. They did a buffet which definitely was not $48 worth. I always loved going to Hilltop, never again.

    Arrived at 6:17 for a 6:30 reservation and was told they couldn’t seat us until our reservation, um ok? At 6:30 took us to a table that was open at 6:17 when we arrived, well ok. The very friendly waitress took our drink and appetizers order very promptly. We got our drinks in a reasonable time then the rails really came off. The waitress took our dinner order then disappeared. She brought us our appetizers around 7:15 about 40 minutes after we ordered. Then disappeared again. About 7:45 she came by and we asked for another round of drinks. She said our dinner would be out in a minute. About 8pm she came buy with a bucket of clams that we didn’t order and said the kitchen was really backed up and these we on the house because of the delay. About 8:35 dinner arrived. A full 2 hours after we ordered. To make matters worse at 7 a band started playing and we we luckily enough to be seated right next to them. So we spent the entire time unable to talk because of the way too load band. Not the best experience ☹️

    I had a 6pm reservation for Mother's Day Weekend (Saturday Night), was sat at 625pm. After waiting 10+ minutes for a waitress to acknowledge our table, i finally flagged one down and was told that "if" we wanted to order food, it would be a minimum 1 hour wait. So at nearly 640PM, which was 40 minutes after my reservation I was told there would be a one hour wait for food. As a parent with two young kids we could not sit there another hour waiting. This is the second time within the past 2 months where an experience along these lines has occurred for our family. It's a real shame as this is a local spot, but is unable to meet their demand. I would imagine things will become worse when the state allows more customers within the building.

    The crabs were dry and old. You can tell they were reused. They came out cold and did not have that snap sound like fresh ones. I have been here a few times and had no issues but this time was horrible. Safe to say I will not be patronizing again.
