Steak
Kathleen B.

It's been years since I had been here. They did not disappoint. IT definitely got even better. The staff was great and very accommodating. It took a while to get our drinks because the bar was busy. The meatball appetizer and the pot stickers were full of tasty goodness. When the dinners came out the portions were huge, and the presentation was great. The sweet potato fries and the sauce were amazing. The short ribs were cooked perfectly and melt in your mouth good. I had enough to bring home for lunch the next day. Leftovers heated and tasted great which is not always the case. A definite place to add to your restaurant guide. The kitchen staff knows how to make great food!

Pasta carbonara.    Delicious full of smoked bacon

We had a wonderful dinner with stuffed meatball & carbonara special. What large portions for only 18$. The best French onion soup with fresh hot bead. Our waiter was so pleasant and professional ask for Demetrius.

Flat iron steak special!

This was one of the best meals we had in a long time. While visiting family in Olcott, they took us to Hilltop, a super casual and inviting atmosphere where the food is spectacular. I wish we lived closer to this gem. We would be there all the time for good drinks, amazing food and incredible service. First let me say the waitress Chantelle was superb. She was funny and welcoming and made us feel right at home, taken care of and was attentive. We ordered a bunch of apps and one was better than the next: fried pickles, wings, burnt ends (my personal favorite) and frips/chips. My entree was the special and it was by far the best meal I have had out in a long time, flat iron steak served with mashed potatoes, kale sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms In a delicious sauce. My boyfriend ordered the brisket and it came with corned bread which was very good. My aunt ordered the ribeye and enjoyed it. My uncle ordered the fish fry special, was served the salmon in error (immediately caught by Chantelle) but he thoroughly enjoyed the salmon. We were far too stuffed for dessert.

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

I recently visited the Hilltop Restaurant after having their catered food at a baby shower. Their catered food was delicious. They had Mac and cheese, sala and sandwiches. All were very good and I noticed all of the guests commenting on how delicious the food was. I decided to visit the restaurant after my positive experience trying their food. I liked how the restaurant had a "fancy" feel with white tablecloths they had. The waitress was nice and checked on my friend and I at the appropriate times. The menu was pretty extensive with lots of choices. My friend and I both ordered the chicken and broccoli Alfredo. I really enjoyed this meal. It has the perfect amount of chicken and broccoli in it. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu.

Nice quaint little place that I've driven by a bunch of times and finally stopped in. Looks like a basic joint but the food is incredible they've definitely got a great chef hiding a back in the kitchen! Halibut was thick and tasty, drizzled in a light cream sauce. Fresh clams and mussels along with tasty vegetables round out this filling meal.

Hot out of the oven fresh bread

Had wonderful dinners, stuffed meatball special & pasta carbonara! What amazing portion sizes and being $18 each....French onion soup is the best!!! Demetrius (our waiter) is so pleasant and very professional .

LOVE the front door!

We were driving home from Olcott yesterday, feeling hungry and Hilltop caught our eye so we decided to turn around and give it a try! Hooray for restaurants being back open! The inside dining room looks to be undergoing a pretty large renovation, but the bar area was open (not for patrons...yet) and the large wrap around porch was open for seating. The large porch was what caught our eye, so we were happy to eat outside. They also have what seemed to be a very efficient to-go service (thanks COVID), the pickup sore was near our table and they worked it well. Overall, we were very pleased with everything. Good, efficient service, nice atmosphere and very good food. My husband had the garden salad with steak tips and I had the Black 'n Blue Wrap w/pasta salad (other choices were chips or fries). Both choices were great and hit the spot. Our salad and wrap were basically the same thing but in a different form and the steak tips were tender and perfectly cooked. They were not he loaded with blue cheese and the Parmesan peppercorn dressing was so tasty. I'm looking forward to eating the other half of my wrap today! The pasta salad was fantastic and I would easily order a whole bowl of that to eat alone. It was flavored with ranch and had bacon in it as well. The menu has a lot of really heavy items (fried picketed, cheddar bacon dip in a bread bowl, burgers), but they have some really good lighter items as well. They also had several specials that sounded very good. This is definitely a place we would recommend stopping at if your out in the area.

What a pleasant surprise! My husband and I were looking for something to eat on a Saturday night and he mentioned the Hilltop. I never heard of this but was familiar with the location as I went to the restaurant that was there previous The new owners did a great job updating the food and restaurant We had the shrimp starter with was delicious. It was a little spicy but the coleslaw help curb the heat. For my main I ordered the French dip and sweet potato fries. The food was HOT. They didn't let anything sit and wait. My fries were crisp but fluffy on the outside and the sandwich was so flavorful. The bun toasted perfectly and the roast beef was delicious. The only thing we could find to critique would be the lack of IPA's. It was fine by me as I don't drink them.

I was staying in the neighborhood and had a craving for a cubano sandwich. It was a quiet Tuesday…read morenight. I popped in, sat at the counter, and was greeted immediately by a pleasant woman who took my "to go" order and told me the sandwich would be ready in just a few. While I was waiting, she kindly asked if I needed anything to drink. I declined. Shortly after I took home perhaps the best cubano sandwich I ever had. The warm sandwich had a perfect balance of ingredients. The Cuban bread with a thin crispy crust and soft inside made for a perfect mouth-feel. Absent was globs of mayo and mustard, flavors that often override the real stars of the show, the roast pork and ham. In it's place was a light dressing that complemented the meats perfectly. I've had Cubano sandwichs in Miami and NYC. The Cubano served up at LaCubana is as good, if not better. The only shortcoming: malta (a non- alcoholic malt beverage, popular in Puerto Rico and Cuba) wasn't available.

What we ordered: * Ham and cheese croquetas…read more* Coconut shrimp (special) * Guava bbq short rib (very good!) Service * Server was super nice and even took a picture of us * Very attentive and polite Ambience * Super old school diner vibes with cool Cuban gear and decor * Only downside is the bathroom is down some steep stairs with not a lot of air flow.

I inquired about quotes and menus 3 and a half weeks ago. I was met with kindness and attention…read morewhich is why I decided to work with this company. In my inquiry I specified the date of my event (my wedding) and the approximate amount of people. For weeks I worked with someone named Miriam, we worked on menus and quotes. I asked for samples of the food and was told they could deliver samples for free. The next day I was told I had to purchase food off of their website and I did that. I spent almost more than $150 in "Samples" and had a tasting party at my house, everyone really enojed the food. On March 8th, I told Miriam that we will work with Sonrisa and I would be telling her the final count number in a few days. She said they will gladly serve us. On March 19th, I told Miriam the final count, which was the same from the inquiry I had sent weeks ago and out of nowhere I was told they only had availability for August. I was very disappointed with this as this information could have been shared with me from the beginning. I thought I had secured food for my wedding and now I am left without a caterer. I am sure they have successfully served other events but I wanted to share my experience. The method of communication was completely unprofessional especially after I had spent money to purchase their food to do a tasting. They had the date of my event for weeks and it wasnt a problem for weeks. Perhaps they just did not want to deal with my event, I am not sure, I was not given a proper explanation. My fiance is Cuban and I really wanted to have Cuban food at our wedding. I wish your business much success and I hope success for your future customers and your communication with them. Thank you.

Fantastic food with rich flavors. Fresh, well-cooked, and I loved every bite. Super satisfying.read more

All cocktails are half priced and we had 5 different cocktails and loved them all. Here's the cocktails I had, in order of most favorite to still favorite: 1) Mango habanero margarita: it's described as being sweet and tangy but definitely has a bit of a kick to it and varies drink to drink depending on how much of their homemade mango habanero hot sauce they add to it. But it's always delicious! 2) Pandaiquiri: it's a clarified cocktail with hints of coconut and pandan. They also have quite a generous pour for this one. I'm not complaining! 3) Carajillo affogato: I would save this one till the end. It's the perfect dessert cocktail to end your night at Bar Habana. It's served with a scoop of boozy ice cream and a spiced rum-espresso combo to pour over. I could drink the drink without the ice cream too, but mix the ice cream into the drink and it's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. 4) Piña colada: pretty solid piña colada and only at #4 cause it wasn't unique to this bar. 5) Reverse mojito: described as light and refreshing but we found this to be a little sweeter than we'd have liked. I would prefer a regular mojito to this, but glad we tried it For food we got the conch fritters, grilled shrimp, honey glazed pork belly, and guava bbq short ribs. The short ribs were amazing and so tender. The portions are pretty good for the price and quite filling. Those 4 dishes were like a meal. The pork belly was good too but I would've liked a bit more pineapple salsa with it. The conch fritters are good for the price but you don't really get much conch in it. If you do get it though, ask for the mango habanero hot sauce to dip instead of the chipotle mayo. And lastly, the grilled shrimp was cooked well and a decent portion. I would definitely go back again, happy hour or not.

The bar has what I look for - interesting crafted cocktails (including specials), a good liquor selection, and fun people behind the bar with whom to engage. I can understand why my friends liked the place. We did have some food here, but I'm more enamored with the drinks. We ordered hummus, which was supposed to come with bread (they say naan, I think it was pita, but that's fine) and veggies. It did come out with the bread. When we asked about the veggies, we were given 2 different answers by 2 different people. One implied folks didn't always want them, another said the chef forgot and apologized. The hummus had an unexpected flavor, and when I checked the fine print on the menu it says, "chefs choice flavor." We didn't order anything else here, but we saw several orders of wings go by, and they looked really good too. On a Saturday afternoon, get here early, because if can fill up quickly.

Mambo Lounge takes part in Summerlicious so I had to give them a try!…read more Summerlicious dinner here is $33. I ordered: Appetizer: Ensalada Tropical - this Salad was fresh and bigger than I expected, I enjoyed it overall. I just wish there was more mango balsamic dressing, it was a bit dry. Entree: Pescado Salteado - I absolutely LOVE the way the fish was prepared, it was crispy yet still juicy. The rice it was served with was supposed to be coconut rice but it tasted like normal plain rice to me. Desert: Havana Club Creme Brûlée - this was delicious, it was the perfect amount of sweet and creamy. My friends ordered: Ensalada de Espinaca Soup of The Day Pollo Rancho Luna Pato el Vino Blanco Cuban Coconut Flan Overall this place has a nice vibe, and the music is great. They also have a patio at the back. I would recommend going no later than 8pm as they do sell out of the steak (which I originally wanted) and some of the desserts. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

What?! YUM!). As entrees we ordered the ropa vieja, sandwich cubano, maravilla vegetal and lechon asado. Literally every single dish had plenty of flavor till the last biteful. It wasn't very busy but there's been a lot of caution with the coronavirus. I hope this restaurant is usually more busy because the restaurant was very good. We ordered mojitos and it came with plenty of fresh mint, very refreshing. We left talking about how good the food was!
