The restaurant at Hillside Inn is open. I went to lunch and had a delicious shrimp poorboy and those sweet potato fries were better than those of a big time breakfast, brunch, lunch place in New York City. Will be hitting breakfast soon and hopefully this time will have room for a milkshake or smoothie.
They are brand new and watching everybody scramble around was fun. The wait staff wanted to sample the great food so badly. Hope they had a chance to get some.

Can’t wait for the new breakfast place! Love blintzes, too. However, what buckwheat pancakes? How come I have never even heard of the Hillside Inn Restaurant?? I only have lived on its hill for 32 years and must have driven by it a 1000+ times. I love buckwheat pancakes and had no idea. Am really fond of breakfast out. I often search for breakfast spots although Willowwood is now the best around. I go to Big 3 occasionally–more so in the past. (Not a fan of Hank’s. ) I have now found the closed Hillside Inn Restaurant too late for the buckwheat. Any other hidden restaurants you aren’t telling us about?

Ned, we’re also long-time Hillside fans and are thrilled that Mr. Madura is taking over. We wouldn’t worry about “froo-froo” food. We’re sure it will still be homey and delicious-and with an artist’s touch. Big welcome to the neighborhood, Mr. Madura!!!

Right on. I had the pleasure of working under him briefly at John Ash and he’s an immensely talented chef- not to mention a great guy. Can’t wait to check out his new digs!

Best of luck to the job applicant but I somehow think replying to a blog post written by a third party is not the best way to apply for a job at a restaurant.

As a long time Hillside customer, I am thrilled that reopening is a reality.
However, I am not sure about the new cuisine and froo-froo food.

Considering my outfit today, I might need to take her up on those “Costumer” services. Heh.

She’s trying, if she’s not BS’ing, cut her some slack. When is the last time you gave a damn about your chef’s spelling grade?

- I’m all about costumer service and can supply excellant references. -
Costumer service? Is that where you fit people with costumes? I trust the “excellant” references won’t mention your spelling skills?
Hint: Proofreading is a GOOD thing.
