  • A delightful rehearsal dinner venue

    The Hilltop Restaurant was the perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was responsive, friendly, informative, and helpful. They were incredibly understanding when some of our guests were delayed due to travel, and they were flexible in accommodating a later start time for our food service. The venue itself is classic and elegant, with a secluded feel yet still easily accessible for guests. The tapestry room was the perfect space for our rehearsal dinner, with lovely live piano music flowing in from the adjoining room. And the food and drinks were simply superb - our guests are still raving about the quality. We couldn't have asked for a better rehearsal dinner venue, and we highly recommend The Hilltop Restaurant to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free event.

    I recommend you take a tour of the Hilltop for your next event. Several rooms to choose from for all size of events. The outdoor area is great for ceremony and photos.
