The Hil

To truly experience the Hil, the latest restaurant to open at Serenbe (the farm community just south of Atlanta in Palmetto)-- it’s best to take it with Serenbe as a whole, rather than piecemeal. A lovely place to eat, it’s owned by husband-and-wife team Jim and chef Hilary White, who paved a pretty path for herself in the Buckhead Life restaurant group as executive chef for 103 West. Much of the menu relies on the farm, and the rustically upscale surroundings and decor, by designer Stan Topol, are so inviting that you may want to move in. The dichotomy is that once there, the Hil is a perfect place to stop in and have a bite, and airlifted to a less remote location, it would dovetail nicely into any growing city’s restaurant community.
