| - I live close by, my friend and I decided to dine here one evening with our kiddos. My 2 and her 1. We were seated quickly, the wait was less than expected. We sat for 15 minutes prior to receiving our drink order. My martini had separated and appeared to have been partially spilled. My friends drink I believe hot coco with peppermint schnapps or something in it was cool. Our drinks came out promptly but not by our server (he seemed unavailable after taking the order). The food took around 40 minutes to come to the table.
My friend ordered the Crab and Brie Stuffed Salmon, it was a tiny piece of salmon sitting on a block of Brie cheese larger than the salmon. She said it tasted awful. The unstuffed salmon, had 4 over cooked butter soaked disgusting Brussels sprouts next to it. I don't even recall there being polenta.
The Childrens Mac-n-cheese had an overpowering garlic flavor that upset my older child's tummy while the chicken tenders had two fried bread sticks with barely any chicken inside.I ordered the Flatiron Chicken, it was in a bowl with pasta and gravy even though there's no dish on the menu with gravy listed, or pasta. There was certainly no pesto.
My meal was extremely disgusting. The server was no where in site to mentions the problems. I was unable to eat mine. I asked the host while he seated another table if he could grab the manager stating our server had disappeared for 40 minutes, he returned with the server.
We decided to ask for the bill and we waited another 20 minutes, gave our cards also waiting another 20 minutes.
The table next to us had 8 women drinking, eating no food, without water glasses, our serve was the same. It wasn't until they'd been drinking an hour and a half that two women received waters.
I would not recommend Cafe Hollander at Hilldale Mall. The food is inedible, and the service is disgraceful.
I don't enjoy buying food that would make anyone shudder, but the worst part is when one is paying for a service, the service should be provided. When we go to restaurants we expect to be cared for.
