Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The cheeto toast should come with a disclaimer. The best chicken picata I have ever had.
Hill Street Bar & Restaurant is a true gem! My fiancé and I stopped by for some engagement photos and enjoyed a couple of fantastic drinks. As my fiancé went to get the car, the owner, Dan, introduced himself and, upon hearing about our engagement, generously comped our drinks as a celebration. His kindness made our visit even more special. Beyond the exceptional hospitality, the ambiance is warm and welcoming—you instantly feel at home. It’s rare to find a place that not only serves great food and drinks but also treats guests like family. Thank you, Dan, and the Hill Street team, for such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!
Great tasting food, reasonable prices, and good service.
We picked this restaurant on a whim, and what a tremendously lucky break. I ordered chips and dip that included a gorgeous array of fresh, delicious tortilla chips served with a cheese/jalapeño dip and guacamole. The plate was teeming with all three, for $10! We couldn’t finish it. What?! I don’t think I’ve had good guacamole in LA for under $18. My friend ordered garlic/cheese bread, which was a delicious and generous portion. Much of it was taken home. She had the chopped Italian salad, which she described as the perfect combination of ingredients that balanced so well. I had the Chinese chicken salad, which I’m sorry to say, was kind of bland. Requested more dressing, but that didn’t perk it up much. I had chocolate mousse that was so absolutely scrumptious, I had to finish the perfect portion. It was so smooth, balanced, and gorgeously presented. Not too sweet and rich, how mousse is often served. When we arrived, the staff told us to take a pick of the available tables, and we were quickly handed menus and given a chance to review them. Service was courteous and efficient without too many interruptions. We were shocked that the place was almost empty, but they close at 7 pm; so maybe breakfast and lunch are packed? In spite of my salad, everything else was perfect. I would definitely come back to try more items. The prices were incredibly reasonable.
Very friendly staff. Amazing drinks and delicious food
