Description

On a recent night, Thistle Hill's handful of wooden tables was full as dusk filtered in through the place's large windows. The restaurant cooks in the farm-to-table new American style that has become as familiar as a corner slice joint. The place is admirably comfortable and friendly, and is owned and run in part by folks formerly of Einoteca. The dishes are not travel-worthy, but they are expert and delicious, befitting a neighborhood restaurant. We especially loved grilled octopus with crunchy fried artichokes, kalamata olives, and a pool of creamy polenta, and crisp panko-breaded Alaskan halibut with asparagus.
