"“And then, sometimes, I crave a restaurant experience that takes me somewhere else, somewhere not in NYC. When I’m sitting in a deep booth at Hillstone, I could be anywhere: the Midwest, maybe, or Texas, or Colorado, or wherever else this seemingly generic (but actually elite) chain has locations. And when I’m at Hillstone, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. I will never forget the first time a server replaced my martini glass, mid-martini, with a new one straight from the freezer. Heaven.”" - brennan carley
