Our group of 6 enjoyed the ambiance and warmth of The Hill, our party ordered a bottle of wine, 8 drinks, 4 appetizers and six meals. $ 600/tip all in. Our server Matilda was prompt and efficent, our drinks arrived promptly as did our apps. The apps were served with a plate of bread with oil. Scallops, halibut, chicken under brick our meals were all delightful and satisfying. We also enjoyed one dessert that we all picked at, I have included a photo.

The place is nice and the atmosphere is excellent. We visited again and the service was exceptional. The selection of wine and types of food were excellent. The food itself was excellent. A bit pricey but very good. Overall we loved the experience and will come back.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary at The Hill for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was outstanding, and our server Holly made the night feel extra special with her attentive and friendly service. A perfect place for a memorable celebration — we’ll definitely be back!

Food was tasty. Started off with the Boratto-fig app that was presented nicely but lacked flavor. The apple-gorgonzola salad had a nice melody of zingy and earthy notes that blended well with the zesty dressing. The originally ordered bottle of wine was not available. The sommelier made a nice alternative recommendation. As the main course, the tender slow cooked halibut was a palate pleaser with sweet spinach along with a savory vinaigrette. The mushroom risotto was well prepared. Felt like seating could be spread out a bit more as the tables next to us were quite close. Would recommend & will be back.

We had a fabulous night at the Hill! The food was so delicious and the best service we have had in a very long time. A few of our favorites were the Tuna Tartar, the duck and the Fra Diavllo with the homemade squid ink pasta...wow!!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Great restaurant. Beautiful setting and vibes; unique and high quality food. Curated menu, every dish we tried was perfect. The service is also impeccable. We will be back! Editing: back after COVID to find the place even better than before. First time with the kids and many dietary challenges; the restaurant delivered above and beyond! A lot of vegan and gluten-free options (we had for starters: green salad, shishito peppers, cauliflower soup from the Specials menu; entree: mushroom risotto made dairy-free and gluten-free); pescatarian options (we had oysters, fish tacos); meat (we had steak) and vegetarian options (we had a shakshuka with feta). The kids meals (priced at $10, huge portions), were homemade and delicious (we had pasta with butter, chicken fingers, and fries). They also have mocktails which my kids loved (and great lemonade). Desserts were delicious and special, too. Pricing is very reasonable - and great value for money. This is an awesome place and we will definitely be back again :) Editing: back again for a friends evening. Amazing seafood and salads; cocktails and service! As usual, attentive and considerate of allergies and preferences!

Amazing amazing restaurant, I pass this place almost everyday coming home from work and finally decided to reserve a table. The outside of the restaurant is decorated nice and the Christmas lights were a nice touch, Once you get inside you see a beautifully designed interior restaurant with ample space a big bar and a section for live music. The waiter was exceptionally nice and friendly and added a bit of a personal touch to the dinner. The drinks were great and the food was perfectly cooked, and usually I take a lot more pictures but the food was there and gone in an instant. Tells you how good it was! Will definitely return.

I have been to the bar to have an afterwork drink and watch a game and the bar menu provided an elevated menu that was satisfying and craveworthy without being simply fried and salty like the typical bar food one finds at a local pub. The crowd was friendly and lively and the bartenders were knowledgeable as they provided both higher level mixologist options and opinions on IPAs. I have also eaten in the dining room which is homey and gorgeous, I did not realize The Hill also hosts weddings or wedding parties but that makes sense when you see the space. I usually go out for special occasions in Manhattan or locally in Jersey City or Hoboken but we travelled to Closter specifically because of the Chef Pollingers reputation and our meals at Oceana when he was in the kitchen. The dishes are well thought out and composed with intention. The plating is gorgeous and the portions are larger than what we remember in the city. The prices are reasonable for the high quality of service, atmosphere and food. I particularly enjoyed the fireplace and massive floral displays in the grand dining room. The food was why we came and as an omnivore I enjoyed all of the dishes from the tuna appetizer through the duck breast entree. My colleagues were vegetarian and they loved the on menu item (risotto) and loved the off menu items that the chef prepared on the fly (a true test of a skilled crew and welcoming establishment). They didn't just boil some vegetables or throw together a pasta dish, they took the time to create menu worthy entrees that would make us feel catered to. The deserts were amazing as well. We asked about the pastry chef and it seemed like Chef Pollinger may have had a hand in these as well. The molten cake and the strawberry tiramisu were both excellent. This is clearly a thumbs up review and a strong recommendation. I am thrilled that there are Manhattan worthy places to go without having to go to Manhattan.

The Hill is my favorite local restaurant and the first place I’d recommend! From the wonderful staff to the amazing food and the elevated atmosphere, this was such a timeless spot that will be so missed. I was lucky to have my last meal here served by the great Hollie- my favorite fish tacos in the world. Please open up another restaurant in the future!!

Great place for a good moment with your loved ones. The place looks very nice. The service was good and the restaurant is spacious. The prices are normal based on the food and theme of the restaurant. Expect to spend within $50 - $100 per person based on your choices. Vast selection of wines and cocktails for all tastes. Great food. I tried the short ribs. They were tender and juicy. My wife tried arrabiata pasta, which it was good. My brother tried the NY strip, and we liked it a lot, even when I’m not a person who likes those cuts, I took a piece and it didn’t disappoint. Finally, coffee and an almond cheesecake were great. I recommend this place.
