HILLSTONE RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.
PHOENIX, AZ

This endeavor would be based on an unrelenting commitment to do things well, measured against the highest standards and manifested in careful attention to the smallest details. Early menus alluded to this philosophy on the cover, with a list of “the little things that make our quality unique” like squeezing juice fresh to order, using bottled soda and serving only ‘Certified Angus Beef’. George and the small organization set out to carefully add locations, emerging from the company’s new southeast home of Atlanta, into cities like New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, and further on to Florida, Kansas City, Chicago, and New York. With the contribution of many talented individuals, Hillstone grew in a deliberate manner, eschewing rapid growth in order to safeguard the standards that brought the company success. With creativity and a catalog of new recipes that progressed naturally from an ongoing pursuit of great taste, new restaurants were introduced with unique menus and designs. Among these, Rutherford Grill, Palm Beach Grill, Gulfstream and the southwestern regionally inspired Bandera charted new directions for the company. Fostering its ongoing interest in the multifaceted world of restaurant craft, the organization which would eventually be named Hillstone pursued a passion for learning extending to the fine arts, design, and architecture. Based now in Los Angeles, Hillstone operates restaurants under 15 different names. Today, Hillstone remains privately held and family owned, helmed by George and a long tenured executive leadership supported by hundreds of individuals dedicated to the quality of experience. George’s dedication to deliver higher standards to all aspects of the business continues to this day. Our newest restaurants in East Hampton, Aspen, Montecito and Bal Harbour, continue this vision into the future in new and exciting ways.
