A large group was in the middle of the dining room, adding to the noise. Everyone was attentive, but the food was slow to get to the table (mashed potatoes were lukewarm). It was a good experience, but not a great one.

Having dined at The Hill many times, we were very disappointed with everything this last time. First, the place was completely empty on a Friday night. Second, the service was mediocre at best, with our main course being brought within 5-7 minutes of our appetizers.The meal was unusually average. Not sure what has happened to The Hill. Will not return unless something changes.

Mother's Day was a bit disappointing. My dinner was great-pasta alla camadinese and seared scallops were fantastic, and the mousse for dessert was outstanding. The duck got great reviews, but the steak was too well done and dry by several accounts. The real problem was the service-not the waiter's fault. There were issues in the kitchen, apparently some people had quit and it literally took 2:15 to get through dinner with up to 45 minutes between the first and second course. This was for a 5 person table. Hopefully this will be a short-lived problem.

We enjoyed our first visit and are very happy to say that our experience did not go down “The Hill”. On the contrary. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable, the food was fresh and really tasty. Crab cake appetizer with mustard sauce was outstanding, would have liked 2-3 more of them on the plate however. Falafel was tasty and generous. Rigatoni bolognese was plentiful and the NY strip was beautifully cooked. We’ll be making another trip for sure!
