Best European Restaurants in Hillsborough

Lovely restaurant for a conversation. Bacon wrapped shrimp or stuffed mushrooms appetizer wonderful and not common. I have had dinner there a number of times - entrees will not disappoint. Chicken Marsala has rich flavor and tender moist chicken (I could always use more mushrooms). Rick

Amazing. Creative drinks (lavender mar tea ni), yummy apps( cheese board & apple walnut salad) and steak and blank ink pasta. 2 apps 2 entrees = 3 people : perfect.

Met a friend for a wonderful lunch in a beautiful building with an amazing setting. Service was wonderful and very attentive. Great salad. I will come back.

The service staff is excellent. They're available to help when needed, but not intrusive. We came with a group of 9 and they were happy to give us individual checks - not every restaurant will do that. It makes our dining experience so much nicer. The food is delicious!

Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.
