We had a wonderful experience at the Hill Top Inn tonight while celebrating our 50th anniversary. We had excellent service and incredible food. Also, I appreciate their GF menu It is rare to find so many options. We will definitely return!

My family came from Maryland and Massachusetts this weekend and ate dinner there . There were 13 of us ! We had eaten there a couple of times before and my brother raved about it so we dined there again .The food was delicious, ambience was wonderful, waitstaff was great and very kid friendly . The waitress even offered to take a family pic of us ! The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars was my waiter forgot to put my order in so I didn’t get served until almost everyone else was done . They were very apologetic but didn’t discount the bill . If they did they would have gotten 5 stars!

I had the best meal I've ever experienced here. From the drinks and appetizers to dinner and dessert, everything was flawless. The service was excellent as well—it's rare to find a restaurant that excels in every single area, but this place truly knocked it out of the park. As a local, I’ve only been here a few times before, but after this visit, I plan to come back at least once a month. This place is a rare gem these days!

Got seated for our 7pm reservation for a table of 8 right away then it all went south. Half our to get our drinks, another 45 minutes to get appetizers , another hour to get meals, comped us desert for our troubles. 3 hours of nothing but waiting at this restaurant, hard pass folks. Food was good though.

Listen, I don’t write reviews normally. But the experience here was SO BAD. Going to mix in some positives here because I’m sure it’s just because of the way the stars aligned. Waitresses were very kind and friendly. Bread was really good (came very late). View was awesome. One mixed drink ordered was very watered down and tasted like nothing. Ordered another, very accommodating. We waited over an hour for entree. They apologized for the wait which appreciated. Still kinda sucked - it was a later reservation (6:30pm) but eating at 8:20pm is pretty late / not expected. Also croutons on the salad was JUST Pieces of bread. Which was funny, but… not croutons. Filled up on French onion soup (starter), bread, and salad and by time main course came out was full. “9oz” rare steak came out lookin like a 6oz poorly cooked steak. WAYYYY overcooked on the outside(dry and gristled), some portions medium, some portions well done. Sent back, they were nice about it. The steak that came back was SO much better. Also WHY do the potatoes default to having cabbages in it? No one asked for that!! Dessert was comped which we appreciated. Think it was just a bad, over-crowded night with a series of unfortunate events. Feel for the workers. Hope to try again in the future. View is really great for a sunset

My wife and i just recently had out wedding here and we could not have had a better time. The staff made our wedding day hassle free and even danced a bit with us at the end of the night. Over all the whole wedding experience was amazing and i cant recommend them enough.
We made an unplanned stop at this restaurant on our way back to NYC from Niagara Falls and were lucky to find it. The views were stunning, and the staff was prompt and helpful. There was plenty of parking and seating, and we chose a table with a scenic view.
They served complimentary fresh bread and butter, which was a nice touch. I loved the Grilled Buffalo Wings—smoky and flavorful. With the staff's recommendation, I also tried the Scallops, Flash-Baked Salmon, and Ratatouille with wild rice. While all the food was fresh, the wings were the standout for me.
A perfect mix of good food and great views!

Excellent view and service. I ordered tuna steaks rare and they were nicely sauteed on top and bottom but still rare in the middle

This is a must visit restaurant! The view is spectacular. Live music added to the ambiance. The BBQ shrimp skewers were a great appetizer. The snow crab was prepared to perfection. The scallops au gratin were very good in the Romano cream sauce. Save room for dessert. The apple crisp or chocolate peanut butter pie are both excellent. This place exceeded expectation and has a great history. Owner was a delight to talk to. The fact he comes out and visits with the patrons speaks volumes.
