I have been here many times over the years, so this review was difficult. First, the awesome: staff is always friendly, personable and knowledgeable, I do feel too often our glasses sat empty, but our server had several tables and we were in no rush. The pork belly & scallops appetizer was divine as was the charcuterie board with a nice sampling of local cheeses and such. Desert was fantastic as well. Now for the main event. We came specifically for the 55oz tomahawk. Its description sounded fantastic, and it was presented beautifully. Where the tomahawk goes sideways is that it came out lukewarm, at best. And perhaps that is the reason it had very little flavour. Perhaps that was the temperature it was cooked to, or perhaps it sat too long at the pass bar before being brought out. The sides were very nice but a little on the light side for such a meat forward meal for 4 people and I would suggest ordering an extra dish for 4 people. I was quite disappointed as I have heard such fantastic things about the Chef and as it is the “Chef’s Signature Dish,” expected more for a 180.00 plate. Would I order the Chef’s Signature again? No. Will I go back? Absolutely. This was a a great place and I am putting this down to a one off.

Thank you for your review and we appreciate the honest feedback - good and bad so we can adjust and make corrections for the future :) The Tomahawk dish is meant for two guests so we will be addressing with our service team as we should have definitely suggested adding an additional plate to round out the meal for everyone and our culinary team has addressed the temperature/flavour issue moving forward. Our menus are seasonal so we do hope you will give us another try in the future as we'd love to welcome you back to Hillside! Cheers!

Outstanding as usual. The pork belly and scallop dish features a two large scallops and two good-sized portions. All cooked perfectly. The mushroom appie was huge and delicious. You won't leave hungry!! It is pricey but worth it.

Really dissatisfied with the food and being tortured by the sun, a predictable and mitigable force, as we sat. The lamb leg was 2/3rds inedible fat for $72. Served oddly with foot-long pasta noodles to be served from a common plate. Our vegetarian could not have a proper meal. Was served a minuscule “main” salad consisting of 4 tomato pieces and 2 tiny boccacini morsels for $18. Service was great. I felt sorry for the server having to be the face of these terrible shortcomings that were not her fault. She did not ask how our food was, as I’m sure she already knew the answer. Obviously a huge investment put into this place, but follow through on the most important elements - feeding and not torturing your patrons via the sun…all for high end prices, make it a place to miss. Felt Albertan. Weird vibe.

Oh no! We are so sorry to hear this and will be addressing this with our culinary and service team right away to make sure we do our best to provide some adequate shade and enjoyable dishes. Feedback is so important and we appreciate the honesty so we can make corrections. We do hope you will give us another try in the future for a proper Hillside experience :)

We dined at Hillside winery at the recommendation of several merchants in the Naramata area. Our friends ordered the duck taco and salmon dinner and they enjoyed their choice. My husband and I ordered the leg of lamb dinner for 2 and we were thoroughly disappointed. The meat was barely cooked (very rare), was fatty and was full of gristle. The carrots were also under cooked. The pasta with peas was ok but lacked flavour. The whole dinner arrived to us lukewarm. The choice of menu items is not extensive at this restaurant.

Oh no! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention and we will pass along to our Culinary team right away for correction. We do hope you will give us another try in the future. Cheers :)
