"Hillstone is Miami’s original listening room—playing the Gables’ greatest chisme hits: from the best office blues to today’s finest financial ballads. It’s also on Miracle Mile near the Colombian, Spanish, and Mexican consulates, so you might overhear some top secret international chisme too. Lunch is always busy, but Hillstone really gets packed right when work ends. And even though they don’t do Happy Hour anymore, people still line up to eat crispy chicken sandwiches and drink negronis. Get there early and grab a seat at the bar, where the best conversations happen. Loyal listeners have been tuning in since this place was called Houston’s." - julia malave, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Yes, it’s a chain. But boy is it consistent. Hillstone in Coral Gables is an upscale restaurant that’s as busy as the day it opened over twenty years ago—and with good reason. It reliably hits the mark every damn time. We love the crispy chicken sandwich with spicy slaw and swiss cheese. It’s crunchy, buttery, and the meat-to-slaw-to-bun-ratio was probably determined with a graphing calculator. There’s truly something for everyone on the menu: sushi rolls, rotisserie chicken, seared ahi tuna salad, or Hawaiian ribeye with pineapple soy marmalade. It’s perfect for lunch with clients or picky work friends who want to splurge a bit." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"One of the perks of take out is no wait, which comes in handy for this perpetually busy outpost of Hillstone. While the menu is more limited than normal, it still offers fan favorites like grilled artichokes, macadamia roll, and French dip can still be found. Available daily for pick up from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Order here." - Olee Fowler
