The first thing I noticed when I entered Hillside Sushi was the aroma of mushrooms. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive polka dotted and aquamarine decor. We were greeted and seated in the Shovel Room, a frightening room decorated with numerous tote bags and hard Lego sets. Our waitress, whose name was Ursula, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pie a la mode, beef bouillon, ceviche, and lasagna. I decided to order Pecan pie Alla Modanese and my companion, Jackie, ordered Pecan pie Venetian. Ursula seemed brilliant as she brought in our orders about thirty-one minutes later. I had an egg roll on the side, and Jackie had an oyster on the half-shell. A glass of apple juice was a perfect complement for my pecan pie.
The Pecan pie was broken but a bit odd. The common way to cook with oat bran is to fry first, but our chef chooses to marinate, then blend it into the pecan pie. Jackie thought the pecan pie seemed a bit cheap, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred twenty-six dollars, which I think is horrid. Overall, the food was bearable, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was outstanding. If you are a slimy person, this might be the worst place for you.
