| - Summary: The Yelp cost rating of $$$ was very accurate, yet lacked a few things you should know before going to the Hyeholde Restaurant.
First, something not covered by any of these other Yelp reviews is that the restaurant is business / professional dress. My significant other and I felt very out of place when we showed up in decent looking casual clothes only to be judged and looked at funny. The crowd was much older, professional and seemingly snoody. We spent our dinner listening to a loud group complain about how Hilary Clinton has purposefully disobeyed Obama through his terms.
The location is up a long, steep driveway where you come across a beautiful colonial looking home. The parking is around back, or valet through the center archway. The location seems perfect for a romantic dinner or a professional get together.
My significant other and I did not make reservations as it seemed unlikely that it would be busy on a Tuesday evening. The front staff seemed irked that we didn't have a reservation, even through the restaurant could easily sit a few hundred people on it's two beautiful floors.
The waitress was very nice and friendly, answering any questions we had about the menu. She informed us that all of their vegetables are grown on premises in their own garden. She seemed to be the only one on staff and at one point asked us to order because she had to go outside to take care of something. There was another gentleman who assisted in taking drink orders, but he appeared to be more of a manager. In all, they seemed very understaffed.
The food was fantastic. I did inform my waitress that I was allergic to dairy but twice my dishes came out with some form of cheese. The waitress was very apologetic and got me fresh potatoes as a substitute. I did leave feeling very ill, as I suspect there was dairy in something that wasn't caught. They were out of the lamb shanks, so I settled for the prime fillet - which was excellent. The waitress informed me that their medium-rare is more on the side of rare, but my medium-rare fillet came out looking raw. Luckily I don't mind a rare steak, but I know the amount of red would be an issue for some people.
In all, we wanted to have a good time but couldn't leave fast enough from being judged by our clothing. The wait staff was friendly, moderately attentive due to understaffing and the food was absolutely superb. I'd be terrified to see what a rare steak looks like as the medium-rare was practically mooing, but it tasted fantastic.
