We always love the atmosphere of Molly’s. The service is great and friendly, the menu is constantly changing, but keeps some key staples, and we love the care and thought out into each dish and cocktail. Such a great gem.

You can count on Molly's for five star food, wait staff, and value. The only thing, and I stress Only, that could be improved is the noise level; and that depends on where you are seated. I believe we will opt for outside seating as long as the weather holds.

Molly’s never ever disappoints!! The food is always so delicious, it’s obvious Molly and the staff put so much thought and time into each dish. The cocktails are truly some of the best we have ever had, including restaurants in Chicago, and the desserts are sublime. The staff are friendly and attentive! We always bring visiting friends and family here and they always rave about it.

We don't live in Mt Carroll, but we do visit often and try to get a Molly's trip in as often as possible. The food and drinks are always amazing, and often involving a creative blend of ingredients for unique flavors. The only thing that challenges the food is the space, which is perfectly tailored to the food and the city. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat.

What a great gem to be found in Carroll County. We have struggled to find somewhere we like to eat (that isn't bar food) since moving out here five years ago, but this was a very refreshing, welcome surprise!

We had another great experience at Molly's. Our server Kye remembered us from our last visit and was so kind and personable. At the end of our meal he noticed that I had gotten what I did not order. He tried to make it right by offering a meal to go. Even though it wasn't what I had ordered it was magnificent. Molly's staff and food is second to none.

We had another fantastic meal on the patio at Molly's . The Moroccan cauliflower and steel eade trout with fresh broccoli and lentils - delicious as usual. But the piece de resistance was the black rasperry short spread with ice cream. Exquisite end to a wonderful meal. Julie continues to delight with her creative cocktails, Kye, Jamie, Julie and all the wait staff are charming and engaging. You can never go wrong at Molly"s!

Another tremendous experience at Molly’s. Very busy when we arrived for our 8 pm reservation, but we were met by the hostess as we walked in and our table was ready. Even though it was busy, Sarah was attentive and helped with recommendations. The drinks, dinner, and dessert were all incredible. Perhaps the best Brussel Sprouts we have ever had. Will continue to go back to Molly’s for outstanding food, drinks and service. A hidden gem!
