Hillstone Pairs Grilled Fish With Warm Wood
Eating at Hillstone comes with red booths, bright vegetables and a Santa Monica setting that lets the plates do the talking.
🔥 Let the Plates Talk
Crosshatched fish, glossy peppers, a lemon wedge. Hillstone makes a fairly persuasive opening argument before anyone starts debating dinner.
At 202 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, the restaurant pairs American comfort food with sushi. The visual contrasts do plenty of work. Dark grill marks meet white plates, golden fries sit beside steak, and red booths frame warm wooden tables. Even the vegetables seem to have dressed for the occasion.
Fresh salads sit alongside the classic comfort plates, with attentive service part of the draw. Follow the fish, consider the sushi, or give the fries a little more attention than the conversation. This is a polished dining room with an appetite.
