Review On The Hill - Ruthin

An amazing restaurant. Almost reluctant to share this great place with everyone as I want to return and enjoy the peace of the place! Reasonable price for 3 course meal, lovely food well cooked, very helpful and friendly staff, Attractive grade listed premises, close to Ruthin centre, spotless loos, yummy mocktails, decent beer and can't wait to return. Our stroganoff and pork belly dishes were excellent. Their own black pudding is a taste of heaven! The mushrooms starter was good. The desserts were very nicely presented. Pavlova very generous and chocolate brownie melt in the mouth.

I am not sure I've ever posted a five star review for restaurants however tonight was worth it! The reason we went was due to it being my wife's birthday. We started with sauted king prawns and salt cod fishcakes with a beetroot tartar and a haddock florentine. Both starters were superb. My starter, the fishcakes, were extremely flavoursome and the prawns were very succulent. My wife's starter was also well seasoned with an intense smokey flavour. For the main course, I had a duo of beef which was a fillet steak with a beef brisket and a celeriac side. The dish was perfectly proportioned. The flavours were rich and well balanced with one another. The fillet was cooked medium rare and as a result was extremely tender. My wife had the duo of duck which had Asian inspired flavours. The tempura broccoli was an interesting taste and though the duck wasn't quite pink enough for me, my wife loved it. Finally, we shared the trio of chocolate dessert. That was definitely a smart move as it was a large portion. Again the dessert was faultless. An added touch was that they gave my wife a birthday balloon as I'd mentioned it in the reservation details. Whilst it was a simple gesture, it actually showed an appropriate level of attentiveness. For around £80 for 2.5 courses and a couple of G&Ts, I would say it was well priced!

Absolutely fabulous food, couldn't fault anything and the staff are lovely

Wonderful place. The food and service is all you could hope for and more when treating yourself to a well earned meal out ;)

What a hidden gem, very lucky to have been introduced to this restaurant on our recent trip over from Aus - will definately recommend to my uk, wales friends. Very nice interior excellent customer service - GF options available. Would have liked to see something a bit lighter on the lunch menu however our table of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Ps im a very fussy food critic 😉

Fantastic dining experience. Warm welcome, friendly service. Menu was varied and catered for different dietary needs. Seasonal dishes and specials. Food was really well cooked and presented. Photo shows the 'little taste of Morocco' main course which was delicious. Overall very good value for money.

This the best the Resturant has been. We have eaten here off and on for 10 years. The Thai platter and Spanish chicken are excellent.

Absolutely top notch food. Friendly staff & nice environment.

Fabulous food and service, been eating here for a number of years now and never ever fails to deliver!

Very good food, fresh! Very much enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone in area!

We visited on Saturday (28/10/17) for my mum's special birthday and we had the perfect evening for her. The staff were so friendly and attentive to our table of 12 that although the restaurant was full, we felt like we were the only one's in there. The food was some of the best we have ever eaten and the staff couldn't have done enough to help with my dietary requirements. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend

Monday 23rd October 7:30pm. Greeted by friendly helpful staff. Loved the quirkiness of the restuarant. Everywhere was spotless from the bar, to the restaurant area, to the toilets. The menu was fantastic with such a wide range of dishes. That next level up to your normal type restaurant. The food we chose was some of the nicest food I've ever eaten. Somewhere we would definitely return to and also highly recommend. I couldn't find fault with anything.

Lovely welcome, beautiful food and wine and lovely atmosphere. The starters were delicious. We had scallops and mushrooms on toast. Then the main course we had pork which was lovely and taste of Italy which was a bit disappointing. The plate was hot which suggests reheating or keeping hot. It just put me off and the sauces were a bit sweet so I didn’t enjoy it so much. Then dessert was wonderful. We had quartet of citrus which was gorgeous. The lemon tart is to die for but the cheesecake, creme brûlée and ice cream were lovely too. It was a lovely evening, just disappointed with my main course. And the man kept calling the women ( of every age) darling and the men sir. Stop doing this.

We recently held our wedding reception at On The Hill. As its our favourite restaurant we wanted to be able to have Imogen and Rowan involved in our special day. Imogen, Rowan and the team could not have been more accommodating. Providing a tailored lunch menu with added extras upon our request, the food was delicious! All glasses were kept filled and all guests appreciated their attentiveness. We took over the upstairs of the venue and were allowed to enter the previous day to set up as we wanted. Imogen and Rowan, we cannot thank you enough for all that you did to ensure our day was so special. Thanks again for everything! xx

We just happened upon this place whilst in Ruthin and despite it being fully booked we were lucky they managed to squeeze us in � the food was amazing - perfectly cooked and beautifully presented � staff were lovely - friendly and welcoming even when busy!! We absolutely loved everything about our visit and will be returning very soon - I would say it is worth driving from Wrexham to enjoy their exceptional menu �

The best meal we have had in a while perfect atmosphere and staff extremely attentive would 10000% recommend for an occasion .

Excellent and interesting food although rather big portions - OK if that's what you want. Nothing run-of-the-mill so be prepared to wait for your food but worth it. Lovely place to enjoy a meal and the staff are great.

Absolutely beautiful food, great service and I recommend it to anyone!! Highly recommend with being in the industry!

Lovely restaurant, lovely staff and top notch food. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food great little find best place we've ate in north wales so far looking forward to going through the hole menu �

Excellent food with great staff . Food is delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend a visit.

My friend booked here as a half way meeting point lunch venue and we were blown away by the excellent food. From starter to dessert it was plentiful, very tasty and the plates were HOT, something that you don’t seem to get very often these days. All the staff were very friendly and made sure you had everything you needed. So sorry this restaurant isn’t in my local town!!! Have recommended to family and will return again very soon!!

Best food I have had in a very long time. Fabulous friendly restaurant. We had an amazing meal, highly recommend it.

What a fabulous treat on my week off work. The lunchtime menu was extensive and extremely good value for the high quality food and service we received. Thank you "on the hill" �
