Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Hillsdale

We had a beautiful Christmas Eve dinner at Scott's. It was a wonderful dining experience, as usual. I've never had a bad meal at Scott's.

The restaurant is very clean and neat. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. That includes everyone from the manager, greeters, servers and cleaners. The food is fresh and delicious. They have a good selection and the prices are reasonable.

We went as a family to celebrate Christmas Eve. We booked as a party of six, but one of our party bailed, so we were only five, which led to our disappointment that they still charged a fixed service charge. Additionally, for half the meal, the music was so loud, we could not talk. Once past this, our food and service was great and we all had a great time.

Sat outside so noise level was low. Heaters were available for customers. Food was good and my table shared a few bites/starters. Ordered two rounds of espresso martini’s at $25/glass. A little pricy considering the plates were $18-$20. However, service was great. Friendly and engaging staff made the evening enjoyable. I live close to the restaurant, so will come back (sans the martini) but if I lived in San Jose, Parkside would not be top of list or recurrence. I gave Parkside a high score because I enjoyed my dining experience.

We love this place, it's a special occasion place for us but we really should go more often. The food is outstanding, the presentation amazing, the staff are so kind and considerate. The blends of the dishes are well thought out, and the portion sizes just perfect. Truly amazing small 'hole in the wall' restaurant. Worth every penny.
