The drinks list features exclusively New Zealand producers, with all wines being vegan-friendly and all non-alcoholic beverages made in-house. Wine and non-alcoholic matching options are available with dinner. With only 22 seats, Hillside operates by online booking and offers early and extended dining sittings from Tuesday to Sunday evenings.
