Great place to take your Mom for Mother's Day and Father for Father's Day. Service is a little slow but that's due to how pack it gets during special occasions but they due check on you so that's s plus in my book. The place is old but has a nostalgic and romantic feel that adds to its charm. And due to the occasion the menu was fixed but still good from the little I can remember. The outdoor garden and pond is very picturesque and charming. Great for taking pictures. read more

Probably one of the best American cuisine in NE Florida. Can't say enough. Staff is friendly and competent. A very nice bar and bartender. Parking is great. Actually has rooms for weddings, birthdays etc. we did both and was a well handled great time. But! The cuisine is outstanding. Was there last night. Wonderful meal. Not many restaurants in NE Florida come close to this place. This restaurant is well worth a visit. read more

We recently dined at Hilltop, an old favorite from our past. We were not disappointed in the service or food. Our waiter Robert was very good. He immediately took care of our cocktails & took the time to go over the menu & great suggestions. My husband had the prime rib & loved it. I had the salmon it was delicious. The restaurant is dated like I said we attended many holidays & special occasions here 20 years ago. But must say it's been well maintained, beautiful garden, sunroom & a bar. We'll definitely return. read more

The hilltop is a hidden vibe in Orange Park. It's a old mansion, very vintage, used a lot for different events. They have several event spaces to choose from according to your size and needs. They have a very good menu with items like escargot and prime rib. The prime rib is usually a special on certain days and priced well. They do offer a great happy hour menu as well. My event was a wine and cheese event social and the bartender was really attenitive, and the servers are always so sweet. . Check their menu. See if this is something you might want to try, maybe I will see you there! read more

We had an an enjoyable time celebrating the anniversary of two dear friends at The Hilltop. We were seated quickly with all our party of eight by the maitre'd, drink orders taken and served quickly by our very gracious waitress. We had to try the escargot appetizer as it has been awhile since I found any on the menu. They were delicious but were lacking a bit in the amount of garlic I have come to enjoy. I chose the signature specialty of the house with a very generous cut of medium rare prime rib served with to die for glazed carrots and sweet potato / mashed potato mix which was also spectacular. The service was great with very attentive staff. The dinning area we were in got quite loud with a raucous gatherings at several nearby tables but was manageable. Overall I would highly recommend The Hilltop for anyone's special occasion with reasonable prices, great service, and great foods. read more

It is always a nice time at the Hilltop - great ambiance, wonderful service and bar staff, and delicious food.

My first visit and not my last firstly decor and majestic old wold ambiance is second to none in Jacksonsville. The service was 5 star and polite and very professional. The food was very well prepared and presented. Particularly the desserts. This was a fixed menu event that was very affordable and good value. I will return to enjoy the menu, as it appears very enticing to those who want not only a meal, but also an experience. Good job read more

We attended the Thanksgiving buffet and it was amazing. All entrées were amazing and the desserts were to die for yep I'm hooked.

The establishment is located in a good area. However, they really need to manicure the grounds, clean the ponds and statues with so much algae. read more

Very nice venue! Servers are amazing. We went for Thanksgiving and early for our reservation but were promptly seated. Food was AYCE buffet style with carving and omelette stations. Some dishes were kind of cafeteria-ish others, just OK but many were good. The green beans and peel n eat shrimp were phenomenal! As was my mushroom made to order omelette. I wasn't feeling my best so I think my taste was a bit off but my spouse got my share too and got several plates. We enjoyed the experience. Would love to give another try at regular service some time. read more

Tucked away in Orange Park is The hilltop. It is beautiful and relaxing. Make a reservation and check it out. The menu is limited but what you get will be amazing. They don't rush you through your meal you can sit back and relax. I'm glad we came and can't wait to go back. read more

It has been a long time since I've been to the Hilltop. I took my mom on a Tuesday evening in December and we had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, prices were fair, the server was phenomenal, and the place was beautiful and decorated for the holidays. We started with the crab and spinach dip and it was good and the pita bread was amazing! It was a little crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, buttery, and warm. We split the filet mignon entree which came with a salad and 2 sides. Everything was delicious, especially the steak. You also get rolls for the table. I got a glass of the Clos Cabernet and it was really good, especially with the steak. Our server was so nice and attentive. She boxed what we didn't eat and made sure we were through with each course before bringing the next one. It was pretty empty, but I already have plans to return. read more

This place is not really known for their food and I understand why. It's more of a wedding venue than a restaurant. The place itself looks really pretty for a wedding event. It has a nice romantic feel to it. But, we didn't go here for a wedding; we went here for a birthday dinner celebration, and I don't think we'll come back again just to dine. The food was just okay. We ordered their prime rib (medium rare), which was way overpriced. And, we also ordered their daily special which was a salmon bake, which was okay and overpriced for the size. The sides that our meal came with were too salty. We did like the bread they served. As for the interior, we sat at the lounge first while we waited on the rest of our party, and their AC was leaking right on the bar. The water droplets were landing on us and on the counter. We had to move so it didn't land inside our drinks. So really we just stood around the bar area. The positive side is that the staff was very friendly and attentive. I doubt we'll come back here anytime soon, unless we attend a wedding or special event. read more

I enjoy taking my wife to the Hilltop for special occasions and no occasion at all. We have always had excellent waiters who cater to your every wish. The restaurants has the charm of days gone by, it's a big mansion on the top highest points in Orange Park. The food is always great too. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food they prepare and serve you. Highly recommended you give it a try. read more

Apologies to our server. Aura instead of Ora. Beautiful name. The Ceaser salad was delicious, cold on a cold plate. The area where we dined was so comfortable and welcoming. Was a rainy afternoon so made for a cozy experience. The creme brulee was so good. The caramelized sugar topping so crunchy. Topped with fat blackberries. Enough to share. read more

Exceptional dining experience. I am so thrilled to have found this gem so close to home. Everything, absolutely everything, that comes out of that kitchen is perfection. read more

My family attended the Mother's Day Buffett at 11:00 am. The Ambiance was good, the service excellent but the food lacked matching the tasty online descriptions. The prime rib mooed as the dull knife and handling (grabbing meat to turn by hand) of the meat from the server was lack luster. The small pieces of dry overcooked fish didn't make it in the "let's not taste this column) the mashed garlic potatoes had actual whole pieces of garlic incorporated which was a surprise you had to remove from mouth. The French toast sticks were hard from over toasting. The chicken was an odd looking mixture of a bunch of things and also other "let's not taste this column" which one of our guests did not get the message and voted it out after tasting. The side dishes reminded me of a pot luck dinner side, not chef material. The omelette cook was okay but he forgot the quiche and someone else had to make it according to server. It arrived when we were leaving. The fruits and cheese were good, the salads were good but no American staple of ranch? Finally the desserts were plenty to choose from and very good except the cheese cake I'm told by others. Can't please everyone. I would rate this event two stars and that is for everything but the food. For $225.00 for four people, we were not impressed at all. We decided never to come to buffet again. Oh by the way other guests loved the food it reminded them of the ole potlucks. Sorry Hilltop, our taste buds are bougie I guess. Signed, Mom not happy with Buffett. read more

This is one of the most beautiful, historic locations in the area. I live within walking distance and the atmosphere is incredible. This is the perfect place for a fancy date for drinks or dinner. At the bar, they have great options for food; I had the Prime Rib Sliders, which come with onion and horseradish on the side. Absolutely delicious!!! The food is phenomenal as they take tremendous pride in their selections. The staff are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. I highly recommend visiting here for a happy hour with friends as their specials at the bar are incredible and so very tasty. The sliders have thick pieces of prime rib and perfectly seasoned with the onions. I added a little au jus and horseradish and it was amazing. The mashed sweet potatoes were not too sweet and extremely creamy. So good! read more

I want to thank the owner for his response and suggest a couple things. Before you serve the food to your customers, have a plate of it yourself and if you had trouble keeping up with the amount of seatings perhaps you booked too many reservations. We will give it another try someday soon. read more

Went back to Hilltop again with out of town cousin....once again "Outstanding service and food " ...Waiter Robert was again...the "BEST"

This hidden gem is one of my favorite Orange Park places to be! Great happy hour pricing, amazing food. I am obsessed with their Osso Buco, both as an appetizer and entre. Servers and Bartenders are friendly and the ambience is warm and inviting...old charm. Great place to book a party or event. read more

Attended my best friends wedding here over the weekend. It was a lovely wedding. The Hilltop was a great choice. The outdoor section was beautiful. Setup was done nicely. The space for the reception was great. The food was good. Salads and bread, potatoes, mixed veggies, chicken and beef. There's great photo ops around the restaurant and property. The hilltop is a good spot for weddings and other events. read more

Perfect venue for a wedding! (not mine! Lol) The name suggests the nice location, but that's not all this place has. Think old school romantic vibe: big bay windows, lots of private rooms and a ballroom to accommodate parties, a wrap around porch complete with rocking chairs. The mansion is surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers, but for prime photo op spot, go to the back of the house like what our wedding party did. The wedding was limited to 120 people which comfortably fit in the ballroom. I'm not sure about the price point for this party size, but we did appreciate having our own bar (open bar too!) and a good sized dance floor. We even had space to set up a mini "photo" area on the corner and the photographer brought her own props (wigs, hats,etc) My only complaint would be the bathrooms: only 2 stalls in the ladies room?! The wait was longer in the bathroom than at the bar area. read more

This place is beautiful! It's so old-timey feeling and sets you back in a different mindset. The outside garden was set up for a wedding, but from what I saw it was super pretty. The main eating area was very nice and the main floor was split into 3 different rooms. We were there for a surprise birthday party and had the room over to the right rented out and it was carpeted with a nice, subtle lighting. Not going to lie, kind of felt like I was walking through The Haunted Mansion because of how it was decorated and how the restaurant was designed. The main room had wood floors with a bar and a piano, and the other room had glass windows overlooking the garden; by far my favorite room!!! For dinner I ordered the Chicken Sergio and my fiancé had the New York Strip Steak. While we were waiting on those, we got our salad with the best dressing ever and our bread - warm and soft! When our food finally came it was the perfect temperature and had wonderful design. I tried my fiancé's steak (which he seemed to very much enjoy) and it was so good. It was cooked amazingly and was so tender. My chicken was the same, tender and full of flavor. I wish the sauce wasn't so strong, but it didn't break the meal. Last but not least, HUGE portions. I only ate about half of my Chicken Sergio, believe me, I tried. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Always filling up our cups and what not. Very great first impression of this place especially when the pianist started to play! You're mind is in a whole other world when you're eating here and it's great. read more

The Hilltop Restaurant - Edible orchids for garish - American Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

I attended a high school sports award banquet for my nephew here at The Hilltop Club and Restaurant. This is a favorite hidden spot for locals set in a converted Victorian mansion on a hill. The impressive grounds are filled with sparkling water fountains, fragrant flowers, lush green foliage, a festival of trees and percolating ponds with white picket fences and generous parking. The banquet took place in their Grand Ballroom which holds approximately 200 guests. This particular area is rented for $1500 for four hours and the food was served buffet style. The service was smooth as the staff did a great job keeping our sweet teas filled, serving all of the desserts, keeping the coffee pots filled, clearing the tables and efficiently attending to a room full of hungry guests. OK, now think: high school boys, 200 guests & budget. For dinner, we had Italian Baked Ziti and fresh garden salad with a choice of Honey Poppyseed and Ranch dressings served with warm garlic butter rolls. Definitely tasty...just like a meal you would eat in the comfort of your own home. Uncomplicated, yet satisfying. Not gourmet, but solid food and appropriately chosen for this group. Overall, there is no doubt everything about this location is quite charming. I have yet to eat off of the "fine dining" menu so I really cannot comment on the chef's specialties. However, my experiences here so far have been delightful and I look forward to coming back for that special occasion and perhaps try that rack of lamb Monica S. raved about in her review a while back. Any takers? ;) read more

The customer service at Hilltop is Outstanding! We spoke to Chad to place our pick up order for my husband's early birthday dinner as well as one who provided us with our order when we arrived. He gave my husband a sample of the she crab soup and was very friendly. My husband loved that Chad was very personable and cracking jokes with him. We found the Hilltop through restaurant.com with a promotional offer that they had going. We opted to do a pick up order However they offer outdoor seating for those who would like to eat at the restaurant. We ordered two king size prime rib medium rare. I had the zucchini and sweet potato mash, with a mixed green salad. My husband's sides included the bake potato, glazed carrots, and a Cesar salad. The king cut is massive and depending on how hungry you are can be split. The price is comparable to the quantity and quality of the food you receive. Hilltop has an older stately vibe to the decor and style. read more

We are new to the area and decided to try a few new places for dining. Even had a coupon for $25.00 off! The Hilltop Restaurant is a charming place that looks like it really should be down in Key West with it's trees and wrap-around porches and back veranda for receptions. It's that beautiful. Dinner was no exception. We tried a few new dishes that were excellent and the staff EXTREMELY attentive to their customers. Love the piano man and Angelo a host in the purest sense. We came on an evening where they were set up for Halloween. It was hilarious! Dang near scared myself witless at the front door where a skeletal woman was holding a mummified baby in her arms. My guy laughed as I screeched. :-) Had to really hold my stomach from laughing when I needed to go to the bathroom and asked my guy for directions. He said, "Go straight after Hellraiser. Left at Chuckie and past Freddie. If you see the guy with a chainsaw, he's not with us." Too funny. Needless to say, if you have a special date night planned, an event or simply looking for a new place with excellent food and an upscale atmosphere that is laid back, make a reservation at the Hilltop. Oh, and a word of caution. . .when using coupons, read the small print. Sometimes a unseen gratuitity is attached or one can't use them on a certain day. But Hilltop is worth going with or without a coupon! read more
