    Party of 3, seated in the very small Bier Den with two large parties. The noise level was extremely loud — I measured it at 90.2 dB(A) - equivalent to a gas powered lawn mower. I asked the male host, Trey, if we could be moved because of the noise, and he was extremely rude, telling us no and that we would need to get back on the waitlist. We had a reservation. With his lack of customer service skills he should not be customer facing. What a miserable dining experience.

    If I could give Café Hollander Hilldale zero stars, I would. This was an absolutely awful experience from beginning to end. The food was terrible and, in my opinion, not even deserving of one star. What made the experience especially disturbing was watching a server blow their nose and then return to serving food without washing their hands. Seeing that while dining was completely unacceptable and immediately raised serious concerns for me about hygiene and food-handling practices. To make matters worse, after eating here, I went home and became violently ill. I cannot say with certainty what caused my illness, but given what I personally witnessed at the restaurant, the timing was extremely concerning. I was also incredibly disappointed with Bryan, the owner. Based on my experience, I found his handling of the situation and the overall operation of the restaurant unacceptable. When customers are paying to dine at an establishment, basic cleanliness, proper food handling, decent food, and professional management should be the bare minimum. I would not return, and I certainly would not recommend this location based on my experience. Zero stars would be more appropriate.

    I absolutely despised the fact that there was no option to write down a tip by myself on the receipt. The waiter came over to our table and presented the card reader with an outstretched arm, not only exposing to my guest how much the total was, but essentially forced me to give a 20% tip. 20% was the lowest option available, even though that is on the high side for most customs within the USA. The person I was with, who was from a different country, was even more upset and shocked by this act than I was. If you want to pay your employees, then raise your prices. Do not make anyone go through this humiliation ritual, where you are guilting them with a person standing right in front of you, this taking away any time for actual consideration of service. I do not believe 20% is warranted for writing down two things on a piece of paper, walking over to the kitchen, handing over the paper, and then bringing the food when it is ready. Further, being asked multiple times within 15 minutes about how the food tasted was super annoying. Just let me eat my food, and I'll let you know if there is anything wrong. You could have had me as a repeat customer, but you decided to employ a tactic of guilting someone who was going to tip anyway—all for an extra couple of bucks. Now, instead of me paying $60 on multiple occasions in the future for merely two plates of food and drinks, you've decided it was more important to make me feel uncomfortable for an extra couple of dollars.

    Kelly was a fabulous server and made a great recommendation for a vegetarian substitution. We swapped the ham and bacon on the pretzel breakfast sandwich with the V BEET patty. It was both delicious and incredibly filling! I wish more restaurants offered these types of vegetarian menu items and made substitutions as easy.

    This cafe is in a great location and offers an inviting & eclectic atmosphere for diners! We were lucky enough to stop in on a Friday and got to try their Fish Fry; crispy, flaky and delicious! And you won't want to pass up the cheese curds appetizer! The sauces that come with the dishes are very complimentary to the favors and the cole slaw was unique and tasty! We also tried a hot Chai latte; it was creamy and rich with favor! Our only feedback is that our waitress, Olivia, was very unenthusiastic in her approach. The service wasn't bad, per say, but we were offered only the basics (took our order, brought the check) and her approach lacked the hospitality & warmth you would expect from the staff in a restaurant of this caliber. If you are in the area, give them a try! You will most certainly love the food here!
