We spent Christmas Eve at the Holbrook. Had a beautiful room which they decorated with a Christmas tree! We opened the door to feel like we were home at Christmas.
The restaurant was a treat.
We had the salmon and the burrata plate. The accompanying foccocia bread was excellent also.. The crusted salmon was simply delicious.
The hotel service and the restaurant service was tops. Everyone was so helpful.
HOWEVER, We had reservations at the tinsel tavern speakeasy downstairs. We went to the tavern last Christmas and had a good experience.
The service this year was embarrassingly bad. Cocktail waitresses actually ignored us while serving two tables next to us. She would not even look at us. There was no:
”Someone will be with you in a minute” or “Can I get you something while you wait”
Two of them would not even meet our gaze.
I have no idea why or how they could be so rude. Honestly after 20 minutes of this, Iwent to the bar and asked to be helped and they still waited 10 minutes to take our drink and food order.
Everything else was superb.

My partner and I went here for our anniversary on Friday the 19th and we were impressed. Unfortunately we did not make a reservation and there were several holiday parties taking place. We were able to sit on the covered patio under the heaters with the misty rain not impacting our experience at all. We were quite warm. The only issue we had were heavily intoxicated people coming outside to smoke/vape at the covered patio tables right next to the entrance, which is illegal. Fortunately a server came by and told them to move away from the patio so we only had to deal with that for a few minutes. The food was extravagant and the portion sizes were great because we got to try a variety of their menu without feeling stuffed. We got the focaccia with whipped goat cheese and the oysters. The champagne vinaigrette combined with the lemon juice on the oysters was delicious, I don’t usually get oysters but the chef paired the flavors well. For entrees my partner got the braised beef and accommodated his dairy intolerance. He got the collards and the brussel sprouts. The collards were incredible. I got the juniper crusted elk with the gratin potatoes and the arugula salad. The juniper flavor was very predominant and I was amazed. It was a little bitter but the other things on the plate really complimented it. The cook on the elk was a perfect med rare. The plating was elegant. For dessert we had the salted caramel brownie. They baked it in a muffin tin so you got all edges if you like that (I prefer the gooey part). It was delicious of course. I also got a spiced root mocktail—they have lots of nonalcoholic options for those that don’t drink. The server was great, not sure what his name was but he’s the tall blonde man. The restaurant was pricey but the food was worth it.

Could not have asked for better evening or meal. First off, the restaurant was slammed, seemingly overwhelmed. Nevertheless, the staff rolled with everything and outcome could not have been better. Server was top notch, cheerful, offered solid opinions and always on point. Each course was exceptional exceptional from appetizer to salad to the two main courses and onto the dessert. It's rare that every single course is top notch, but the seasonally appropriate meal was just that good.

This restaurant was fantastic! Our meals were delicious especially the pork and hanger steak. Also the Manhattan variant was amazing! A shout out to our server, Becky. She was attentive and gracious, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.
