    Walleye

    This was my first time at The Hilltop. It was nice enough to sit out on the covered patio.! I had the walleye. It was delicious . My friend had the salmon. yummy!

    Have been to Hilltop twice now and had things I liked about it. The area really benefits from having a spot like this for dinner out without too much fuss or fancy, or having to go "into the city." It's a nice family friendly spot with definite regulars. The food is a little pricey for what it is IMO but I suppose they can get away with it in Edina. Food I've had: French onion soup: It's famous for a reason. So much goopy, drippy, delicious cheese and croutons from definitely real bread. This was great- and it seemed like maybe a chicken broth base? I appreciated that the base wasn't the usualy beefy super rich style. It would have been too overwhelming otherwise. Tuna melt: Satisfying, flavorful, plenty of tuna. Good bread. Pear chicken salad: This was great, good dressing, the chicken was cooked well Wings: Have had dry rub and Asian (wet)- very good. Reuben: This was weird. I'm a reuben afficiando. This Reuben had tons of sauerkraut (which I typically love) but only when the ratio is a little more balanced. The reuben I had was like 80% sauerkraut and VERY little meat. It was disappointing. I really wanted to love it because a reuben is one of my favorite foods. But would NOT order it again. Margarita: Skip. Too much sweet & sour. Too sweet overall. Tasted like a Minnesota suburb margarita. I typically like a refreshingly tart margarita, more tequila-forward, with fresh lime. This was not that. Carrot cake- delicious!!!

    My husband and I visited on New Year's Day for breakfast. It was a bit busy but we were seated fast, Denise was a nice server. There's a big free parking lot attached to the building. They play trendy music but it is family friendly and they have good food. I ordered the mimosa, yogurt parfait and the toast. I loved the French toast!! Touch of sweetness with the right texture. We're already planning on visiting again to try the dinner menu.

    Carrot Cake

    The Hilltop is a neighborhood hot spot. It's great for groups, family-friendly, and a perfect choice for happy hour or meal before a night out. The service is great! Our server Laurie was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and efficient; exactly what you want when enjoying a meal at the end of a long day. The food here is tasty and fresh. While they have somewhat limited vegetarian options,the options that they do have are really good! I usually go for the Greek salad. It's really light and refreshing--zippy vinaigrette, chewy dolmas, and the usual suspects of tomato, cucumber, feta, and onion. If you're dessert-minded, you will be very happy. I tried the carrot cake and was most pleased. Highly recommend. One word of warning: this is a popular place, so it can get pretty loud. It's a great place if you want a lively evening, but it's not great for quiet conversation.

    The house made veggie burger was definitely delicious with a Super flavorful sauce and excellent toppings. Served nice and warm too! The patio area (yet indoors) felt festive and cozy on a freezing (literally) MN night. Hilltop is a gem and the city of Edina is lucky to be the home for Hilltop! It was worth the drive from Maple Grove! Heidi

    A great place for a quick bite and a good burger! They do have a lot of other fare but it's great that they have Guinness on tap! Service can be slow during peak hours, well because it's peak! Do reserve a table ahead of time otherwise it's a bit of a wait as this place is quite popular any day of the week (yes, I've tried it). Very casual, friendly people, and good food! What else can you ask for?!

    We had an Amazing Ladies Night Out for Our Book Club, The Real Housewives Of Mpls. A few of us arrived early and our table was not ready. Manager Carrie greeted us with a smile and set us up at temp table until ours was ready. The Hostess (I can't recall her name) cute 17 yo, was sweet and friendly. We were a large group of 16 and our server Lily was Phenomenal!! The Atmosphere, Staff, Food and drinks, 5 out of 5 Stars!

    By far one of the best breakfast spots in Edina. Their omelettes are some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend!!

    Please go here as the food, service, and atmosphere is great…read more FYI there is a lot of parking behind the building but you can also do street parking. I usually recommend a reservation for Pink Ivy as during dinner rush it always seems full. I have had so many great meals here. I am usually a meat and potatoes kind of person but the salmon here is great. Also as much as I dislike vegetables they actually have ones I order. As much as the food is always been great. The staff has also been wonderful. They are knowledgeable and friendly and really make a difference. Atmosphere can change from time to time. As busy restaurants nights are always going to have that buzz but in a good way. As the busy night calms into late evening there is this different nice smooth feeling that comes over the place. Lastly this place introduced me to a new drink. The Carajillo. In my opinion it's a better version of the Espresso Martini as it's a bit sweeter.

    This ended up being a really solid stop and definitely a step above your typical casual spot…read more The decor is super cute with a pink and green aesthetic--kind of mint and bubblegum tones--and it gives the whole place a fun but still cozy feel. I somehow showed up wearing green without even planning it, so I accidentally matched the vibe which made it even better. The atmosphere overall feels clean, modern, and relaxed without being over the top. It works really well for a casual lunch or a low-key date where you still want something a little nicer. We tried a few different things, and everything was well done. The burger was juicy with a good melt on the cheese and a soft bun that held together nicely. Simple, but done right. The side salad was fresh and actually had flavor instead of just being there. The meatballs were a standout--really tender and covered in a rich, creamy sauce that made the dish feel more elevated. The mussels were also great, and the broth was flavorful enough that dipping the grilled bread in it was a must. Nothing felt like a miss, and everything had a little extra attention to detail. Also our server was very nice and kind I liked her. Overall, I'd come back. It's not super fancy, but it feels like a step up from your usual spots and is a great option if you want something cute, relaxed, and still really solid.

    It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place…read moreyou think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... : Xochitl In Love : La Clandestina : Tuna Tostada : Chicken Tinga Tostada : Seared Scallops : Tlayuda : Colita Old Fashioned : Lamb Barbacoa Tacos : Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!

The Tostadas (one order of the Tuna and one order of the Charred Eggplant) were on point. The shrimp tacos and corn elote were yummy too.

Lucky to have such a great restaurant so close to where we live - my best friend and I both walked to the restaurant because of the snow.

We always…read moremake it a point to eat local and we had never heard of Coalition before seeing it on the list but we will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. My husband and I ended up trying everything on the restaurant week menu which included starters of shrimp bruschetta and steamed pork buns - both were light and so flavorful! I got the salmon with potatoes and pancetta wrapped asparagus while my husband got the roasted chicken with hominy, pork sausage, queso fresco and avocado. Both entrees were so incredibly fresh and with perfectly paired accompaniments - we were seriously thrilled we lucked out with this menu. I was pretty stuffed by the time dessert came around and didn't get a chance to take a photo but I got the key lime pie and my husband got the cheesecake. I am not typically a key lime pie person but this felt more like a tart and it was absolutely amazing. Perfect amount to finish off an immaculate meal!!

The initial first…read moreimpression was not great because although it wasn't abnormally busy for a Saturday for some reason, the staff was very overwhelmed and behind. We were not greeted by a host for at least 10 minutes. There was a few couples waiting when we arrived & at one point we were all looking at each other confused as to why there was no host or any sort of greeting even by workers walking by. Additionally, we had to wait For our reservation. Our server did not bring us water for a very long time, even after stopping by our table and saying she would bring water. We ended up ordering our food along with drinks right away, given the lack of structure. Our server seemed surprised and almost annoyed at this. Outside of that she was friendly. Overall the food was ok- nothing super special. I enjoyed the ambiance and low lighting vibes. It is a smaller place but still a good amount of tables. They have a parking lot attached with a lot of space but also ample street parking. I would go back to check out the patio and maybe a happy hour in the summer but 3 stars because service & timeliness was way off. Hoping it was just a bad night & not the norm for an Edina spot.
