    Was not what we were expecting per previous reviews. We were seated where we constantly heard kitchen noises and orders being called out had difficulty having any sort of conversation Not the kind of atmosphere expected for the cost of meals. Bar rates a 8 Service an 8 but food was a 2. Gnocchi and scallops had only 2 scallops in entire bowl and the Chicken buratta was underseasoned and came with a few Asparus spears. Did not get a meal worth our 100.00 bill. Would not go back.

    Oh what a joy it is for Holland to have a restaurant of this stature and brilliance! The ambiance starts with white tablecloths, a rarity in western Michigan, and attention to every detail from the furnishings to napkins and with excellent staff adding to the low key elegance. We've had their verlasso salmon that is perfectly done, their hangar steak with roast vegetables is outstanding, and their several choices of fish are always welcome. One of our favorites is the flat bread with mushrooms, arugula, and goat cheese with a delicious balsamic drizzle. It's a perfect starter with choices from their very well chosen wine list. Now you may have heard it's expensive, but fear not there are plenty of choices on the menu. The quality is far superior to every other restaurant on the street and if you want a fantastic hamburger with excellent truffle fries, you can have that here too. Best burger in town, my husband always says, and when other restaurants charge extra for cheese and toppings, they don't here with best of class quality. Always top of our list for out of town guests and special occasions, or just for an early dinner in the winter to watch the snowflakes fall past the dining room windows. It all makes for a lovely dining experience whenever we're there.

    Very nice restaurant. Nice interior, lighting & decor, and quiet for it being right in the center of downtown Holland. Walkable to almost anywhere. Food was very good. Our server Kerrie was good.
