OUR GATHERING SPOTS
HERITAGE
Brooks Kirchheimer has had the restaurant bug ever since Santa answered his wish as a youngster of a cash register for his pretend diner, with his sisters as guests. Nothing like siblings to teach the art of customer service!
Fast forward, and after a Restaurant Management degree at the University of Denver and a decade managing at the renowned Montage in Beverly Hills and Deer Valley, Zoom in Park City, and Merriman’s in Maui, Brooks was eager to open his own restaurant.
Partnering with his parents, in 2018 Brooks opened Hearth and Hill in Park City. The upscale-casual, family-friendly restaurant instantly became a popular local gathering spot. Catering requests overwhelmed the kitchen, leading in early 2022 to the construction of nearby Hill’s Kitchen, café & catering. That same year Salt Lake beckoned, for which the Kirchheimers developed a modern fine-dining concept, Urban Hill, in the dynamic new Post District to showcase the City’s independent-restaurant appeal.
With their Hill Top Hospitality group growing, the Kirchheimers turned their focus to a Salt Lake neighborhood long on their radar: Sugar House. In early 2025, they realized that vision by opening both a second Hearth and Hill and a second Hill’s Kitchen in the heart of that vibrant community.
Key to Hill Top’s growth and success has been its guiding mantra since Day One: a commitment to “Inspire our associates, thrill our guests, and enrich our community.” Or as Brooks likes to say, “At Hill Top Hospitality, ‘family’ extends well beyond ownership, to include treating our associates, guests and neighbors like family, too.” That takes the form of industry-best employee benefits, a generous guest loyalty program and genuine hospitality, and broad support of local non-profits and civic organizations.
