Located in the heart of Phoenix at 2650 E Camelback Rd, Hillstone Restaurant is a distinguished dining destination celebrated for its vibrant fusion of American classics and refined sushi creations. This inviting yet elegant establishment effortlessly balances a warm, sophisticated atmosphere with attentive service, making it the ideal spot for both a casual lunch or a memorable evening out.

Hillstone’s diverse menu is a testament to culinary craftsmanship and thoughtful flavor pairing. The famous French Dip, featuring thinly sliced prime rib nestled in a freshly baked roll served au jus, is an absolute must-try, delighting with its savory depth and tender texture. For seafood lovers, the yellowtail sashimi dinner and the house-smoked salmon bring fresh, silky textures enhanced by delicate house-made dressings. Those with a sweet tooth will cherish the Key Lime Pie with its tangy whipped cream atop a buttery graham cracker and pecan crust, or indulge in the rich, velvety Hot Fudge Sundae – a quintessential comfort dessert.

Hillstone’s sushi offerings stand out with inventive rolls like the Kyuri Maki Roll, wrapped in crisp cucumber paper, and the Crunchy Avocado Roll, which combines creamy avocado with the satisfying crunch of macadamia nuts and a hint of jalapeño heat. The Tuna Mango Roll balances sushi-grade tuna with sweet mango and avocado, wrapped in delicate white soy paper, creating a vibrant burst of flavors. Each roll displays a refined touch that sushi aficionados will deeply appreciate.

Appetizers such as the Chicago-Style Spinach Dip paired with salsa, sour cream, and warm tortilla chips and the grilled artichokes offer rich textures and layered flavors, perfect for sharing or kicking off a meal. The deviled eggs served with Grandma Ding's pickle relish are a nostalgic yet fresh starter, showcasing the kitchen’s knack for comfort food with a twist.

Beyond the plates, the dining environment at Hillstone feels effortlessly upscale without pretension. Several guests have praised the elegantly appointed interior paired with wonderfully friendly, polished service. Jason Burlingame recounted how the attentive staff went the extra mile with replacing cutlery between courses, highlighting an impeccable attention to detail. Lindsay Walsh emphasized the perfectly cooked medium-rare steak, crispy on the outside while retaining a tender center—an experience echoed by many who admire the consistent quality served at this neighborhood staple.

The restaurant’s ambiance finds the perfect middle ground for guests seeking a relaxing spot to enjoy well-crafted drinks and bites, as Meghan Cuma describes a lively vibe that favors expert bar seating and flavorful happy hour offerings. Their signature Dirty Martini pairs impeccably with dishes like the cashew & kale salad or the hearty knife & fork barbecue ribs, creating harmonious flavor experiences from start to finish.

Consistency and culinary excellence resonate strongly in every corner of Hillstone. Kelly Sidney’s reflection captures this beautifully: “Hillstone is so darn consistent it’s impressive! From the perfectly grilled artichokes and refreshing martinis to the vibrant rainbow roll and indulgent hot fudge sundae, every offering was just as perfect as the last.”

    First time experience with some work colleagues. Definitely an elegant place. Every single staff member was amazing, friendly and helpful. They changed out out fork and knife after the appetizers. I had the salmon, the lentil sauce/cream was the most delicious sauce I've had on awhile. A must stop if you are looking for an exquisite dining experience!!

    Steak and frites are great. Steak ordered medium rare comes out crispy on the outside and perfect in the center. Great salads and sundaes that can all be made gluten free.

    Great atmosphere and clearly a staple in Phoenix! The ambiance was great and so were the drinks. I think this heirs towards bar seating rather than sit down dining in my opinion. The deviled eggs were good (but maybe not worth it). The fries were fantastic. And the ruby red trout with friend shrimp was amazing! Lots of pieces of shrimp. Perfectly seasoned fish. I’d come back for happy hour!

    An absolutely phenomenal place. Everything is five-star here, from the service to the guest experience to the food. This is an excellent space to enjoy a wonderful, delicious meal. I came here for lunch, and my expectations were blown away. This would definitely be a space I would go to again. Reservations are recommended for this place, and I wouldn't suggest showing up without them. We shared two different types of unique sushi, all fresh with a great taste. The ginger with the sushi was thinly sliced and fresh as well. The Chinese Asian salad I had was phenomenal; the dressing had shellfish in it, and I let the server know that I had a shellfish allergy. She had read through all of the ingredients on every single menu and made sure that everything was prepared with clean utensils once they did the sushi and confirmed with the dressing. She knew to check for all ingredients. I truly appreciate all of the extra steps they went through. I would definitely recommend anyone to come to this space.

    Hillstone is so darn consistent it’s impressive ! Had dinner here last night and it was excellent. The decor and ambiance was just as expected— fantastic ! The service was also impeccable ! We ordered the artichokes, chicken kale salad (not pictured), martinis, rainbow roll, and hot fudge sundae. All were perfect! Highly recommend.

    I met a friend at this restaurant tonight to have a drink & maybe appetizers. The atmosphere was comfortable so ee sat at the bar. We were greeting eight away & ordered drink. The margarita that I ordered was extremely strong but still tastes great. Unfortunately after ordering our drinks we didn't get much attention. It took a bit of time for us to get the attention of a waiter and order an appetizer. That said, we found the people who were also sitting at the bar with us were very friendly & chatty which was very nice. We will definitely go back again. Hopefully next time the service will be a little bit quicker and the other patrons will be Justice friendly!

    I stopped in mid-afternoon just as the place was starting to get busy and grabbed a seat at the bar for a cocktail. The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in, and the atmosphere was great—bright, open, and welcoming, with the doors open to the patio so you get a nice indoor/outdoor vibe. My cocktail came out surprisingly fast, which I appreciated. I ordered the steak frites, and the steak was perfect—extremely tender, cooked exactly to temperature, and filling without being too heavy. The fries were a great complement. I’d definitely come back again; the menu has plenty of other options I’m excited to try. Highly recommend!
