Stopped on our way through the area, looking for a local gem. The Hillview was a nice option.
Service was great. Our waitress was very kind and caring. We were seated in a side dining room. Nice space for a separate event.
The meal was excellent. Beef roast very moist and tasty. Grilled vegetables done to perfection. Had chocolate pie for dessert. Was not too sweet. Nice topper to the meal.
Also ordered a side of cream of mushroom soup. It was good but a little heavy on the pepper for our liking. Not horrible though. Mashed potatoes were instant which is always a disappointment…although they weren’t bad.
They had a dessert case that was tempting and lots of variety. We orders the chocolate pie and rice pudding. Pie was great. Rice pudding portion wasn’t worth $5. More like $3 and that’s being generous.

We had a great dinner. Waitress was so very nicest and was so thoughtful about the sun being in our eyes and asking if we wanted to close the shade on the other side of the restaurant. I had the pork chops which were a bit dry. I wish they served applesauce but otherwise all the food was great! Guest had the fried chicken which was hot, delicious, and crispy. The sides were cooked well, not overcooked and beans and broccoli were still crisp. Mashed potatoes were great as well.
Overall a great place. I had previously eaten at the Gardenview which apparently is related to this restaurant but they have completely different menus. We will definitely be back to both. Nice to have a local restaurant like this as so many are struggling.
My only complaint was the booths need work. Both of us sunk uncomfortably into our seats which had seen better days and were taped over in multiple spots. It was not appealing and legitimately made the meal uncomfortable.
Unpictured, I had a 'white strawberry cake' which was great and came very appetizingly plated with fresh cream and was delicious! Will definitely be back

The food here is fantastic! I got the gyro souvlaki and it was so tender and flavorful. Our waitress was outstanding... always filling out water. My girlfriend got the chicken soulvaki and raved about hers. I'm a soulvaki connoisseur... HIGHLY suggest this place. Portions are great. Took half home!!

The building itself is very nice! Warm and inviting! The food was ok! The waffle with cherries was tasty. My chicken was a bit on the tough side. As for the service. The staff was not very friendly and welcoming! I tried everything to get a smile or a laugh out of my service. She was rude per-se. She was strictly business! All the way up to the end tried! I figured maybe she had a bad morning, so I left her a $20 cash tip on the table on $35 check. She didn't even say thank you. The owner as at the cashout. He didn't ask how was your meal, I hope you come back. He didn't say anything that would invite us to come back to his place of business!

The restaurant is cozy and the staff are nice. However, the meals are mediocre. The chicken soulvaki salad came with a very tiny side of dill dip, and the container was only about half filled. While the meal wasn’t horrible, there are definitely way better soulvaki’s in the area. I wouldn’t come back here, I don’t think it was worth the money.
