Hildebrandt's

Fresh food, made to order, with as much personal service as we can muster on any particular day. We’re not fine dining. But we are really good dining. And we have to hope that most of the people who find us for the first time will be looking for just that. And be happy they found us. We've recently had a huge, bright, public light trained on our little, family business. And while it’s exciting and we’re confident that we will navigate the attention with as much grace as possible, we've been thinking a bit about the other side of the coin. Hmmmm. Not every person who walks in the door is going to fall in love. (Ooooo, yeah, well, we knew that, I guess). We’re going to get some bad reviews, most likely, not just lukewarm. (Who said that? What’s his damage?) Some people will judge us by standards that don’t really apply to a 14 table ice cream parlor / luncheonette / confectionery. (It was too noisy? Really?) And, some people just won’t like us. (Per Mrs. Seinfeld: Who doesn’t like you?! Don’t even think it!?!) So our challenge is not to take it all too personally. It’s not show-friends, right?, it's show-business. While most of this will be wonderful and fun, (for all of us, we hope), we imagine there will be some stumbles. Regardless, as usual, we promise to do our best and we truly hope you like what we have to offer. Hildebrandt's has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.
