"We thought about closing Hilltop after we bought it, but
we just about had a mutiny on our hands," says James D. Smith,
Jr. He was speaking of the legendary country eating place that
Madalene Hill opened 38 years ago in Cleveland, just a few miles
from its present incarnation in the tiny burg of Romayor. Smith's
wife, Beverly, manages the restaurant, which, with its cozy hearth
and cedar beams, is a lot like Grandma's house. After eating,
guests stroll the deck and toss leftovers to the throngs of begging
gators and turtles. Reservations required.
