We went to the Holly Hotel for a birthday celebration for my Dad and brother. Everything about this evening was terrific. The service, cocktails, food and ambiance. It was a wonderful and memorable gathering in a very special place. I am excited to go back to visit the comedy club and try another dinner item from the menu!

What a perfect way to unwind on a very busy Thursday evening. We made reservations via Open Table an hour before and when we arrived at the Holly Hotel our table was waiting. We opted to sit in the bar for a few minutes as the walls were filled with vintage art work and the candles lit on the bar seemed so inviting...the music circa: 1920's and the bartender was delightfully helpful and served us a perfect manhattan and vodka martini. ORDER THE BAKED BRIE!!!! We were seated near a stain glass window at a table with white linen and fresh alstroemeria. Ever entre was served on a different piece of miss matched vintage china with eclectic artistry. Our waiter was invisible in a good way, as our conversation was never interrupted. It truly felt like we stepped back in time and was one of the best dining experiences in ages~

Our waiter forgot to turn in our order and let us sit there more than an hour before finding out her mistake. We talked to the manager and she got our order in about 20 minutes. I ordered duck that was undercooked my wife ordered steak medallions that were tasteless and overcooked. We used to eat there several years ago and it was very good but not this time.

It was a cool place to try. The food was not that great tho. I got the white fish and the person I was with got the duck. Both had way too much sauce. The fish plate was sloppy and the veggies were over cooked. If I was at a diner, I would have thought it was good. However, paying a high price for food means that more care needs to go into the plate, and that just didn’t happen. Great atmosphere, great wine list, great service.

My husband and I enjoyed a dinner here for our Christmas date night. It was beautifully decorated and the ambiance of Christmas cheer and elegant dinning was exactly what we were looking for. The food and service was excellent and it was an enjoyable evening. The only drawback is that is it pricey (over $100 for two people including dessert and tip), but it was well worth it to us for a special occasion and an evening to remember.
