Hollyhock Hill never disappoints! This evening there were 12 of us & a few came that had never been before. Not knowing what to expect they ordered what we recommended which was the Chicken. We all raved about how wonderful the food & entire evening celebration was!!

Service was hit or miss with attentiveness and was slow. Most of the food was just okay but would have been better simply by being served hot. The food tasted like we got the leftovers not served to the dinner rush. The mac and cheese was excellent.

We were there on a Thursday evening around 6:00 p.m. and it was not busy at all. The food was served family style as expected and our server was pleasant. It's kind of like a nice throwback to the past, like going to dinner at Grandma's house. We had no trouble holding a conversation as it was not loud at all. Overall a very nice experience.

The food was great, service was just ok. The waiter was not very attentive, we had a dirty wine glass, water wasn't refilled, and he forgot part of the order.

Overall, it was a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with friends. A little noisy. Good, but not spectacular. Still, would consider returning.
