This big, noisy restaurant seems to always be full. I'm trying hard to keep this above a 2 star. The decor is kitschy, I think appealing to hipsters for now? But only in decor. My experience with Cafe Hollander's food was average at best, based on the mac and cheese, which was rich but oily, and a sandwich resembling a ABLT, which was very wet, bland, and fell apart. Not my favorite side dishes.
The true crime is the bar scene...understaffed, overpriced, and underpoured. Prior to visiting, I saw photos of half poured beers and was nervous but thought it must be the type of beer there ordered. No. I had two beers, as did my partner and most others in tow. All filled halfway. Charged more than comparable full price elsewhere.
