Holleman's Restaurant and Lounge Reviews List

Holleman's Restaurant and Lounge

Chefs at Holleman's haul fresh catches from the sea and cuts from the chophouse to create a menu of refined American classics. Meals commence with raised wine glasses that signal forks to battle, parrying for appetizers such as herbed escargot bathed in garlic butter. For the midmeal food fight, chefs dress new york strip steak in cracked pepper and a mantle a silky cognac sauce, and pots coddle creamy artichoke-and-spinach risotto to support fresh Salmon. A selection of 11 pasta entrees includes long noodles that wrap tenderly around battered shrimp and slither under blankets of sage-tomato sauce. Under the dining room's lofted ceiling of exposed beams and olive-painted slats, white tablecloths add elegance to high-backed booths, wooden tables, and preemptive renditions of "Auld Lang Syne." A rustic brick wall separates the bar, where iron chandeliers glow above high-top tables and reflect light off elegant wooden wine cases that stack dark bottles floor to ceiling

"The ambience was up my ally because I love anything and everything that resembles Tuscany, even in the smallest way. I did wish they would play some soft music. The staff was WONDERFUL. Everything was presented in a very nice fashion. On the downside, the meal was not close to what I expected. :( I was so disappointed with the Lamb, I only had one piece. My husband just tasted his Rib Eye. Dessert was good. Nothing extraordinary. They could definitely better the quality of their meals to match their "high" prices."

"I have been a couple of times to Holleman's. The food is good but the ambiance and service needs some improvement. The service is slow and lacks detail. If the service and ambiance were to improve, the restaurant would actually be excellent. The décor and maintenance also needs some renovation. We sat on a booth that had duct tape on the cushion to cover a crack in the material."

"Everything was wonderful again, except for the meat. Taste was good, but had gristle in it and maybe a sharper knife would have helped in cutting. The sauce on the meat was spectacular."

"Dinner for 4 on a Monday was a disaster. Arrived at time reserved 7:30pm. Waited for 25 minutes for the waiter. Turns out there was only one waiter. Several appetizers on the list were not available. We settled for 2 that were available. Waited for about 40 minutes for the appetizers. Ordered dinners from short list that was available. Waited again another 30 minutes, before finding out the sides we ordered were not available, had to pick from limited choices. Waited again for 45 minutes for the entrees to arrive.
After completing our meals we were informed thet they were out of all desserts. At this point after spending 3 hours, and approaching 11pm, we gave up and asked for the check.
Dissapointed to say the least.

"THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I VISIT THIS RESTAURANT. I PURCHASED TWO VOUCHERS FROM GROUPON AND MY FIRST VISIT WAS ON A SATURDAY AT 7PM AND EVERYTHING FROM THE RESERVATION TO THE FOOD TURNED TO BE A COMPLETE DISASTER. MY SECOND VISIT WAS ON A WEDNESDAY AT 6PM AND THIS TIME WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND THE FOOD PREPARED WELL AND OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. MIAMI HAS MANY MANY GOOD RESTAURANTs AND I WILL NOT TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS ONE AGAIN."
