Hilltop Bar and Grill Review

Wonderful food Pleasant people working there had a great time

Took too long to bring our food and drinks other than that everything was great!

Excellent, had a wonderful dinner served by the finest waiter.

This was a beautiful venue for a wedding and the food was magnificent.

Incredible views. Great food. Attentive staff. I love this place.

The best thing this place has going for it, is the view. It took forever for us to be served and my food was bland. I ordered the Parmesan Chicken, which I expected to be baked, but it was deep fried. A huge chicken breast but very bland. The broccoli and asparagus was over cooked. The mash potatoes were good, but luke warm. I only come here when I'm part of a large party, for work/church. Last night was the worst service I have ever received. It took way too long to get our food. They're were 2 other large events going on, so maybe that was the problem. I dont know. Our servers were very nice, doing the best they could do. If you want a good meal at a decent price, dont go here.

A tremendous selection of food and flavors, prepared for every pallet. The view is beautiful. The cost makes it worth a special event like Mother's Day.

This is the rating I would give Johnny's at Adams and Crenshaw based on over 40 years of going there. I was never a pastrami fan, but their cheeseburgers and fries were to die for. Moving out of the area slowed down my visits but I often drove back to enjoy! Now that it has been closed for some time, I keep hoping it will open again! I imagine Johnny has retired by now but maybe a friend or relative or newbie will take over what was once the GREATEST burger joint......my husband was the pastrami fan and they too were superb! Miss this place so much!

This spot is awesome! Convenient prices, considerable portions and the staff are always super friendly.

Great view and atmosphere but food has plenty of room for improvement.

It was a wedding reception event! The food was excellent nd the service was good!

I was disappointed. The service was very slow. There were children running around like they were in a school playground. I understand it is not the staff responsibilities They are not hired to be babysitters nor are the other customers . Children should not be running around in that manner because anything can happen to them or someone else.

My fav location for american food. Very savory. I had a brother come into town and he asked me to go back here. It has a great atmosphere. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I loved to visit.

I was at this restaurant on 10/6/2018 because my dear friend had her wedding reception there in the "View Room". The entire ambiance of the restaurant both inside & outside is SPECTACULAR! It sits up on a hill overlooking the city of San Bernardino & the views are amazing especially at night when the lights in the city shine. The outside grounds boast a garden like setting, a koi pond, gazebo and scenic views. The inside is stellar and very clean. The staff just wonderful. Excellent place to eat, cater parties & wedding receptions. I definitely want to go back with friends just to eat & relax! Highly recommend this place!!!

Great view, ok good, nothing extraordinary, but nice place to spend with your significant other

Nice place for dinner and view looking forward to our wedding March

So sad to find out that this is no longer a restaurant!

Great restaurant great location very romantic place great view of mountain with outside seating with fire pits.

Came here for my birthday. The service was amazing and the food so good. Not too overpriced either. Such a cool and calm spot. The view is beautiful.

Beautiful venue! Very scenic, very quiet. Staff is very accomodating. My wedding was during the transition period. I would suggest that you double check any renovations but staff is very accomodating. Food is amazing! I am a happy bride.

Great food and service by far the best place to go out on a date you won't be disappointed!

Average at best Sunday brunch for the price. Not how I remembered it.. :/

3 stars maybe pushing it on this location. Not what I think of when I have been to the Burbank location a few times. I will not be returning to this SBDO location. First my food was cooked wrong. When you order med well and get very well done, when you order veg on the side and the waiter has to fix it at your table, smoke from the kitchen getting into the dining area and a couple of tables using fans from paper to clear smoke, the wait for the food was 1 thing but when you get it wrong not 1 time but 2 things. If I go back to Castaway it will only be the Burbank location. I have not been there for a year so let's hope it has not ended up like what I just had with my wife's bday

This 5 star review is for our Server Armando. We were being ignored by the other servers, and waiting for over 30 minutes to place an order.

Armando came over even though he wasnt our server, and provided us the best service we ever had at this restaurant. He truly made the experience and goes above and beyond to provide great service.

Beautiful view and great food. Perfect for a date or celebration.

Wife's company Christmas party, good food, couple of drinks.

Worst service ever. Terrible food. Everyone's meal was burned on the outside and undercooked on the inside. View isn't worth it. Nothing to see. Avoid this place at all cost.

Great food and staff.. buffet is really delicious!! Would recommend!

I wish zero stars was an option. I am actually shocked at how poor the food was. For that price, you would think you got actual mashed potatoes. Not instant potatoes. The prime rib was cold and raw (it was ordered as medium). The last plate was served approximately 1 hr after the first meal came. We were told that the reason our deserts were "different" (our cheesecake tasted like mashed potatoes) is because we bought the special. Do NOT offer a special with sub par food. A special should be a deal. Not yesterday's leftovers. Secondly, please explain how two children got mac n cheese, yet one came out 45 minutes AFTER the other?? How does that happen? We're talking Craft mac n cheese. There is absolutely no reason for that. The owners need to sell this place to someone who cares. The representation on your website is absolutely NOT what the reality is. I sincerely hope you all take these complaints seriously. This place has so much potential under the control of the right people. It is obvious the owners DO NOT care. We will never eat here again.

One quick look at what freedom is supposed to feel like...

The serbice was outstanding! The Castaways wad booked with 3 events and the service, food, waiters, waitresses, chefs and desserts which i had the strawberry short cake, New York steak, mashed potatoes, onion straws, asparagus, brocolini , carrots and bread was superbly delicious!!!
Our table was large 16 guests and 1 baby! OUTSTANDING

Had a nice day but Sooooooo EXPENSIVE. Four dined. Almost $300.00 dollars.

Really nice restaurant with really good food when it's decorated it looks great but some of the tables and the building could use a bit of refurbishment still a very nice restaurant for a romantic dinner or event

Visited for wedding, gorgeous place, food was delicious n setting beautiful

This is a great place to take your significant other on a dinner date. Great atmosphere, and a view of the city at night!

My auntie had bet bridal shower there is was amazing and the view was so so so so pretty (loved it ) great place

It was a beautiful place. The setting was very Romantic...

Little loud at the time we were there, not sure if it is always like that, it was our first time. Food was good so too is the service, expect to spend a little more $$

Local gem. Great place for brunch, special occasion or a party.

The only restaurant with a view of the city with out driving very far. Nicely decorated inside and outside. Outside seating with a view. Good food, good variety and nicely presented.

food is good, go there any chance we get. 100 times better than the fast food mexican restaurants. pricing is good. if you like eating outside this is the place. usually we take it home.

The best Sunday brunch on Sundays in San Bernardino

Great customer service, romantic ambiance, and an amazing view.

All 20 of us enjoyed a delicious meal for Thanksgiving. It was the first year I've not had a home cooked meal and I wasn't disappointed. There was endless champagne/mimosas/coffee/sparkling cider and the food selection was just amazing. All of the regular Thanksgiving selections plus breakfast items, salads, desserts, other delicious meats and a fun table just for kids. I highly recommend this beautiful location atop a hill overlooking a lot of wonderful California scenery!

Food average, the attitude of people working there sucks

The floor was dirty, especially under the table. My Friend was amazed to discover his shoe stuck on the floor because of a chewing gum, gross. There were also other food wastes on the floor.
Then I got a glass of wine, which has been served in a dirty glass... disgusting! When we (finally, it took a long time) got the entries: the meat was overcooked.
The service is terrible and the management is a failure. I won't go back to this place. Even a Applebee's has way better standards!

Its my 2nd time at Hilltop Collection San Bernardino, pricey but super worth it. Lobster, steaks, desserts and the sushi of course. Fresh as expected. Loved the cucumber rolls with variations of egg roe. Sumptuous and filling. Will definitely come back.

Went with a party of 8 for Sunday champagne brunch. Excellent choices at the buffet, special requests were served quickly by our attentive server, Elizabeth, sweet young lady. The view is great, the food even better.
I can certainly recommend that you spend your Sunday at Castaways Restaurant.

DO NOT GO HERE. I was looking forward to a somewhat classy dinner and the food was absolute garbage. The servers were good but the manager/cook do not know what they are doing. We have never sent back a plate before, nor do we enjoy doing so. Just sooo disappointing. Dont waste your money.

Awesome view of the city. Service and food made it an enjoyable place to eat.

Food was great. 2016 Christmas Dinner was delicious.

For Such a Great Restaurant in the Hills we were very disappointed. This was our first time there and regret not previewing restaurant instead of just going off the internet pictures.
We had a large party of over 20 people and we're hosting our Corporate event and would never return or recommend this restaurant. Just some things that we experienced to name a few.
1) Slow service
2) No wine buckets & stands for our Champane bottles.
3) Not enough staff

After one of the busboys drenched a glass of water on one of my guests I immediately called on the Manager Alicia & Expresses of horrible experience and worse thing is she did not act surprised or did anything about it as if she knew the place was run down and management did not care. If I could put a zero I would. Good luck .

Event date was 12/15/17.The staff that received us were not very helpful. A little bit of a disconcern for us after introducing ourselves and the party we were with. The staff for the particular event room was excellent. The general manager was very rude and refused to talk to us. Event rooms are opposite wall and I would not recommend you rent one if you are having an intimate dinner.

You actually have to drive up the mountain to get there. It a nice restaurant. The one in Burbank California is the best one. A date would be shocked but impressed ..

I did not like the food they do not have variety and neither is the service very bad

It a great working environment and lots of fun people to work with and the food is as good as it gets

Beautiful place. Great views. Overpriced drinks. $32 for 2. But nice restaurant.

Such a beautiful and iconic spot to have a wedding. Gorgeous views and good food.

Super service, thank you Peter! Great food and you can't beat the ambiance.

Upscale restaurant with absolutely no service. Waited 1/2 hr. passed our reservation to be seated with water and bread. Ignored another 20 min. before we left. Won't be back!!
