   Food was not up to par. Risotto was bland … my friends lamb chops not served medium rare , halibut served with relish on top instead of on the side. Possibly off night.

   The service and food was excellent! I had the double pork chops that were grilled to perfection. Only drawback was the place was packed, busy and loud…so if you’re looking for an intimate date night, don’t go on a Friday or Saturday. I have no problem with the exciting environment but wifey wanted a quiet romantic dinner. Holdren’s food, service A+++! Thank you!

   My dinner was delicious and they had a nice wine selection as well. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area. Great music too!

   Enjoyed some happy hour drinks on the patio before dinner. Food and selection were very good. Service all night was excellent. Noise level was almost too much. Will be going back again. Loved the apple walnut salad.

   We had dinner tonight at Holdren's to celebrate a birthday. I asked for the "red room" knowing it would be quiet. It was! Our server Kelly was attentive and fun. The food was delicious. We couldn't have asked for a nicer evening. Thank you, Holdren's.

   We love Holdren's and come here often. We made a reservation and we were celebrating 2 Birthdays. I had an email from Holdren’s saying I can order a birthday dessert. The other birthday gal couldn’t find her email. The server looked at my email and then turned to the other lady and said you need to order off the menu since you don’t have an email did he think we were lying? The server kept insisting that there were some sort of secret code on my email that he had to take down. There was no code or anything like it on the email. He said he needed to check with his manager to see if that was a real email . Again, did he think we were making this up. He was not friendly until he handed us a bill and then amazingly he became very friendly and chatty. This is the first time we’ve had this server and hopefully the last. The food was delicious. Even though our server put a damper on the meal we will still come back because we love Holt Ron’s.

   Always a pleasant dining experience. Just love the Wednesday night special. Happy Hour is really good here. Servers are polished, professional and friendly. It’s our hidden gem.

    Excellent wait service! It's always this way at Holdren's which is such a pleasure. The food was fantastic as was bar service. This was a Sunday about 5:30 pm so was very surprised with the loud drunks at the bar. We understand that this is not the restaurant's fault. But their jarring, drunken laughter and yelling at each other to be heard, filled the entire restaurant. We asked for our dessert to be packaged up and took it home. I see there's an outdoor patio with heaters as we walked out. Maybe will try that next time?
