I have visited Hilltop multiple times. I absolutely love the ambiance and the view! The food is delicious, but quite costly. We had a mistake with our food order, but we ate it anyway since the kitchen was closing. It’s too bad they don’t stay open a little later since the sun wasn’t down yet. It’s a stunning outdoor experience.

Great lunch - best coleslaw I have ever eaten. Lovely setting - hostess/waitress was very friendly. Only have a couple negatives - it was a tad chilly on the patio - could have used a couple heaters outside. Also no water offered except bottled water. Other than those minor things, it was great. Wine was super!

Beautiful location, excellent service and delicious food. The wine special they have is amazing as well, buy 2 bottles and get a third one free from a nice selection. My only negative is that they only serve bottled water at 2.00 a piece. It just seems ridiculous and unnecessary. They also do not have ice which seems odd for a full service restaurant. Not an issue that will keep me from returning!

Wine was only so so. Food was pretty good but they wanted $4 for more bread Toast to go with the Brie and spinach dip. Also no water provided, $2 for a small bottle of water. Not a great value.

We were back here and had a glass of wine and an appetizer around the sunset. Gourmet food although the menu is limited. Wine is OK, good. Nice and friendly service. Relaxing outdoor patio looking at open space toward west. Because of the hill in the view, the sun sets a bit earlier than the actual sunset time. Now they are open till 7:30 on Saturdays so we can enjoy the sunset and stay afterwards as well. $40 for two glasses of wine and a nice appetizer with relaxing outdoor ambience seems reasonable. We will be back!

Along with our tasting flights, we much appreciated the delicious baked brie and charcuterie board (we asked for additional baguette bread for the three of us to make the most of the charcuterie). We chose to sit out on the otherwise empty patio even though it was a cold, wet New Year's Eve. The server promptly brought a heater, and we enjoyed the lovely view before the rain clouds rolled in. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Would happily return there to enjoy a meal in such a peaceful setting.

The winery is gorgeous. Now I know what “Hill Top” means. Best views. Affordable wine tasting with 5 tastings. The food is to die for. Top chef worthy and affordable. Check out Hill Winery website for photos. Only 3.7 miles from Harrahs Resort and Valley View Center.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Not many people there, so if you're looking for a place that's more private, this is your spot. Great value for the amount of food as well. Our server was very nice and told us if we didn't like the wine we ordered that she can switch it out.
