My mom and I wanted to try Hillstone’s beef, but we didn’t necessarily want to have steak in the middle of the afternoon.
So, we decided to share the French dip ($33), made with USDA Prime beef. The sandwich was served alongside a mountain of thin-cut fries that were crispy and well-seasoned, and a bowl of horseradish cream.
We were also given an empty bowl, which confused us at first. However, the bartender filled it with au jus from a small, elegant jug.
The steak was pink, tender, and lightly seasoned, and the bread was nice and soft. It melted away along with the beef after heavy-handed dips in the accompanying sauces.
Overall, the sandwich was so good that my mom and I almost forgot about the fries.
