TLDR; OVER-PRICED POOR QUALITY FOOD WITH INATTENTIVE AND RUDE WAIT STAFF. -------- My husband and I went there for an early... dinner on Saturday June 4th. We intrigued by the menu and high reviews on Google but we had one of these worst diningexperiences ever after arriving. We ordered the pork belly/scallops and beef wellington, which each came with soup and salad.The soup was mediocre with no noteworthy flavor and the caesar salads were pretty flavorless - I have bought better dressingfrom the grocery store. My husband had the pork belly, which was supposed to be warm but it was served to him with multiplepieces cold. While in contrast my beef wellington, which was requested rare, was drastically overcooked and tough. It tastedlike a chunk of roast beef was used instead of a filet. I was quite disappointed, as I have made better tasting, cheaper cuts ofsteak at home and honestly I've fed my dogs nicer steaks than that. The pork belly entree was $56 and the wellington $44, forthat price I would expect significantly higher quality in both the ingredients and preparation of the food. The service wasslow and we were there for about two hours despite only ordering the entree meal. The waitress tried to offer to get our foodremade but we had kids to get home too and considering how long we waited in the first place and the poor quality we wereuninterested. Disappointed to say the waitress was very rude and condescending. She was not attentive, asked me how old mychildren were 3 times because I assume she didn't pay enough attention the first two times, and was hardly at the table. When wecomplained she argued to try to get our food remade despite us insisting we were uninterested and then said very rudely that weshould have complained sooner if we didn't like the food. However, she was so inattentive and hardly around, that we didcomplain at the first chance she came after having a moment to taste our food. Extremely poor service and low quality. Cons Read more

Great spot to go if you want a fancy dinner experience. Kind of similar experience to the Whitney in Detroit. We got liver... paté, Victoria onion soup, and stuffed game hen. It was all fantastic and so were the cocktails The basement has ajazz/comedy show venue. There are rotating shows every weekend, and they serve a different menu of foods plus have a full bar. I had a great time, and I honestly drank too much to drive. It's not easy to get an Uber in Holly, but I got a ride home frommy girlfriend's brother. Great guy, I give him 5 stars also. Read more

Restaurant was amazing. Expensive, but well worth the price for the food quality and the experience. We ate in the train room,... then went down to the Alley Cat Club in the basement for a show. (Beware, the club is MEMBERS AND GUESTS ONLY, we didn't knowand the signs/website only have tiny little print, lucky my friend is a member.) Both our wait staff: Stella upstairs, andHannah downstairs, were absolutely amazing. Always on the spot with drinks and service, and great people to talk to also. Read more

Wonderful food, service and ambiance. We had the Poached Salmon and Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin, both were superb and our... waitress, Stella, was the absolute best. We will definitely be back. Read more

Wow what a beautiful experience at a legendary hotel and restaurant! Me and my girlfriend were celebrating her birthday and as... it turned out her birthday was the same date as when the Hotel burned down in 1913 and again in 1973 both times at 9pm. Andwouldn't you know it we were there at between 7pm and 9pm. We ordered the incredible New Zealand rack of Lamb Chops which wasexquisite for her and for myself the best Lake Superior Whitefish I've EVER had! Kirsty was out waiter and she was very coolwith is and gave above and beyond service! It was great to see some other guy Also celebrating a birthday as well which alwaysfeels nice! After reading some history of the ghosts that I've heard about that haunted the Holly Hotel, we did smellunexpected cigar smoke which was said to have come from a man killed or that died in the Hotel! We got a nice tour of the hotelin many of it's great rooms and downstairs bar! And to top it all off our bill was even the same date at her birthday at1/19/2022!!! This was the ultimate dining experience! Will most definitely be back Read more

My baby shower was hosted at the Holly Hotel. I was blown away by the service and the delicious food. Their chicken strudel was... out of this world! The setup was classy and the staff was tentative and kind. They are able to print personal menus, make extradesserts, and present a classic environment for hosting. Such a great day and a great place to host an event! Read more

The menuoptions were all delicious and the cake was so great as well!! What a lovely atmosphere and venue for a small intimate wedding.Highly recommended!! Read more
