  Awful, inaccurate wait times- told 45 minutes and was closer to 1.5 hours. Ended up ordering drinks at the bar which did a nice job taking order and getting beverages out. Server ignored us, waited on tables that sat after us, and basically made us feel like we were bothering her in asking to take an order. It’ll be a while before I frequent Cafe Hollander again. If I do, it won’t be on a weekend. They seem to do better middle of the week when things are slow.

  I had one of the worst dining experiences here. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it arrived almost clear it looked more like water than a cocktail. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he took it back and brought another that somehow looked even clearer. My chicken was just as disappointing completely flavorless. For a place with such a strong reputation, the food and drink quality were shockingly poor.

  I arrived at 6:45 and joined the waitlist at 6:50. They told us we had a table at 7:26, but we didn’t get our food until 7:57. The whole experience was disappointing. My cream of mushroom soup was way too sour, and the creamy pasta had an overpowering green pepper taste. The cheesy bread that came with the soup was cold and extremely salty. My friend’s burger was just average — nothing special at all. Honestly, the fries were the only thing that tasted good. The flatbread was also way too sour. Even though we ordered several dishes, they seated us at a tiny table right by the aisle, and when I asked to move, they said no. When I was trying to pack up the leftovers, the space was so cramped that I accidentally broke a glass, and no one came to help. Our server also took a long time to check on us. I waited over 40 minutes just to get seated and then another 30 minutes for food — absolutely not worth it. Both the food and service were terrible. I’ll never come back.

  Beautiful place, but they put us in the far back room with one window. Musty smell, and lots of flies. One other table asked to be moved. We were the only people back there. Food was good, and service was good. More soda options would be nice. I would recommend checking it out though. Especially if you get to sit in the bar area.

  The food is absolutely delicious—every dish we had was perfectly executed and seasoned. The service was also impeccable; our server was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. The only downside? The line is incredibly long, and the wait can be significant. However, given the quality of the food and the excellent staff, it is absolutely worth the wait!
