"I feel like I'm drinking in game of thrones," my husband says, after we order glasses of wine. "About to slog mead and ramble to battle," he continues. We got lucky to have an unexpected night out with an unexpected reservation opening. Here's what I'd recommend knowing: - valet only - no kids under 13 - scratch kitchen, which is fantastic - strict dress code - if you are in the tavern you have to walk outdoors to the bathroom. It's not far but if it's raining it might be a consideration. Our server was super kind to us, and the food was fantastic. It's a unique interior for sure; we sat on the tavern side which is in the old carriage house. I've eaten inside the main restaurant and it definitely feels like eating in weird rooms in a house (which it is), but for some reason it's part of the charm. read more

This is a very cool place tucked away in coraopolis. It has an old castle like feel. They have valet and coat service as soon as you get there. The inside is very cool. Cozy yet castle like. The service was amazing, but it is a long process. Roughly 2 hours for drinks apps and mains. The food was very good. The steaks taste was good, but for a $75 Delmonico, the expectations were just a little higher. The mashed potatoes and 1000 layer potato were the star of the show. Very buttery very good. The seafood pasta was good and the seafood was fresh and tender. The oysters were good. East and west. The homemade hot sauce was amazing. All in all it was a pretty good experience. The drinks. Smokes old fashioned was very good. The manhattan was also very good. The strawberry spritzer did not get consumed. We didn't like it. read more

I went back & forth on this one w/ my hubs - 4 stars? 5 stars? In the end, the sum total experience was a solid 4 - good food, great aesthetic/vibe, great server, but the lack of accommodation/hospitality, some of the food, the price point on some of the food were drawbacks. One negative happened *before* we arrived. This special evening was to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of my sisters-in-law. We called to arrange a special dessert plate, etc, in advance, but the young woman who answered instantly told me no and said we could order a dessert and they would put a candle on it. I asked if we could choose a few desserts in advance and have them arranged on a platter with "Happy Birthday" written on it in some way, but again this woman said, "No, we really don't do that." Womp womp. Could've been an easy win. She actually encouraged me to bring an outside dessert and they would put a candle on that. She could've suggested a bottle of champagne or glasses of champagne being delivered to the table in advance, but no. Disappointing to say the least, especially at a restaurant of this caliber. Moving on... When you roll up to this location up a winding road, you get how special/unique Hyeholde is. The Tudor-influence is charming, as is the thoughtful gardening & its romantic evening uplighting. A valet pops out immediately to whisk away your car. (One sis-in-law arrived before they opened & was alarmed at no handicapped parking, but this is clearly why: the valet.) Another negative happened before we entered the restaurant -- the valet informed us that our pretty, small birthday balloon would not be allowed inside. The restaurant door opened as we started toward it - the owner & exec chef (we would learn later) welcoming us. Nice touch. One snag: both my sis-in-laws have some challenges walking/climbing stairs; no one asked the SIL who made her own birthday reservation (at her insistence!) about this. So, the 2 were a bit surprised when told that we would be headed upstairs to dine. While our host seemed somewhat willing to change up our location, there was a handrail up the stairs, so both SIL's opted for the climb. ‍ Our server, Ryan, was great - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and cheerful throughout. The food: They had just changed to their spring menu, but three of us opted for the creamy mushroom soup, a winter menu holdover. While it was mushroomy and flavorful, I really do prefer my mushroom soup to have a splash of sherry. The artisanal greens with honey pear dressing was fresh and light. We all agreed that the dressing was excellent & the greens crisp & flavorful. (Slight drawback: It's fairly small & very simple; $14 is a bit much for this). The bread plate that came with our appetizers was good. One of my SIL's is a master baker, and she positively sang the praises of the brioche rolls. There's one for each in the party. Drawback: We wanted more and were happy to pay, but Ryan told us that wasn't possible. They only make enough for each person to have one each night. The homemade apple butter was excellent. Star appetizer: Smoked olives (!!!) - it sounds crazy, but all 4 of us could not get enough of these. The Applewood smoked treasures were to die for, especially the massive Cerignola olives. WOAH. The truffle mushroom pasta with chestnut cream was also positively standout. Huge, meaty mushrooms were slathered in a rich, flavorful cream with what seemed like campanelle-type pasta - YUM! Ryan recommended the tuna crudo app/small plate - but we just didn't have room. Next time... Main courses: birthday girl & I ordered the seafood tagliatelle which was excellent. The seafood - a blend of shrimp & scallops - was nestled in a saffron beurre blanc with a hugely flavorful blend of fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, & yummy black garlic. Hubs & other SIL got the Delmonico. Neither would recommend it. It was cooked perfectly but was a bit salty, not terribly juicy, and at ***$75**** - I can confidently say (after tasting a piece) that it was not worth it. The bordelaise sauce was nice, but the multi-layered mille-feuille potato creation - while definitely impressive - was too salty, according to the SIL who ordered it. Wine - we brought our own (bday girl had been saving 2 v special bottles) & paid their $40 corkage fee. Dessert time! Birthday SIL got the Ryan-recommended NY Cheesecake (his fave). First - this isn't NY cheesecake! BUT - it is quite good -- creamy, flavorful with a nice, thin, crunchy Graham cracker crust, and a spoonful of succulent preserved cherries. Ryan even magically stuck a little candle to the plate for our celebration. The standout fave, though, was the special carrot cake -- a creative version with a yummy, coconutty/pineapply ice cream colored with carrot juice and garnished with a crunchy, thin sliver of dried parsnip and carrot. Really good! My other SIL got the passionfruit pavlova and thought it was good (I don't do meringue - so I didn't try it). read more

Adding a review for the Tavern! The winter chalet experience at Pittsburgh's castle restaurant Hyeholde was soo fun & unique! It was intimate, delicious & cozy & now they've announced that they are keeping the concept going as the "tavern"!! Check it out for your next date night. read more

Warm and enigmatic; yes. Service and ambiance; one 100%. Flavor and originality; meh. Came to celebrate our 2nd anniversary, hostesses was cold upon arrival but our server was more receptive and inviting. Unfortunately, the venison my partner selected was tough as boots and had to be returned. The oysters were tough and expected a smoother finish. Potatoes dauphinoise tasted very reminiscent of McDonalds hash browns, it was surreal. Very kind they brought a dessert and celebrated with us such a special occasion. For the price point Hyeholde missed many, many marks. read more

We visited the "winter chalet" on a Wednesday night and had a lovely time. The chalet is in a separate building from the main building. It's very cozy with a wood-fired fireplace and blankets at each table for extra warmth. The chalet has a separate themed menu with small plates and some main dishes. We got the fondue, osso bucco and lamb cassoulet. Everything was delicious. We finished the meal with a winter pavlova, which was also excellent. I highly recommend for a cozy winter dinner retreat! read more

We made reservations for our anniversary. It was a snowy evening and they were able to accommodate us for an earlier reservation time. The venue was historic but we didn't get the details on the history or significance. They were very attentive from the get go with the valet and coat check. The dining room is intimate and they sat us at a corner. While we thought it was a good seat/space, it ended up being very cool that evening. The fireplace was on the other side of the brick wall so we got none of the heat. Food wise it was excellent. The mushroom soup was delightful and the truffle touch was delicious. We also had the olives to start and they were good, great varieties. The pork belly was just fine, we both thought it was the least interesting and special and we could have done without. Hubs enjoyed his chicken and loved the Yorkshire pudding. My seafood tagliatelle was delicious, with shrimp and scallops. Service was nice and attentive, helpful with our dietary restrictions. One downside was no acknowledgement of the celebratory nature of our dinner. Overall a nice spot for dinner. read more

Hyeholde Restaurant - Smoked olives - New American Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

If you're looking for a behind the scenes dining adventure in Pittsburgh then look no further than the chef's table experience at Hyeholde They have up to two slots per evening and you have to call to make a reservation. The exterior and interior are gorgeous and all the parking was valet. We were led to our table tucked away in the kitchen and six of us enjoyed a delicious six course meal. Most of us opted to go with the wine pairing option and you can also order cocktails and other beverages a la carte. My favorite courses were the short rib and the bread pudding dessert! There were a couple of small critiques I had - the beans in the cassoulet probably needed to be cooked a few more minutes and the fish wasn't as flaky as I would've liked and was slightly overcooked but these are very minor things. We all had a lovely time and would overall recommend this experience. read more

The restaurant was beautiful - I've never seen anything like it in Pittsburgh. It is a rustic decor castle but transformed into a fine dining experience. Staff was also very professional. I only wished the food was slightly better for the price we were paying. The drinks were very strong so the alcohol flavor was too overpowering to taste the other components of the drink. The bread basket and the cheese in the salad was great, but we were a bit disappointed that the cheese and pear salad only had a tiny bit of cheese and a few thin slices of pear. For the entrees, both were good but the sea bass was phenomenal. The fish was tender and flavorful, and the side dishes were also great. However, the portion size for the entrees are really small. We also got a side of mushrooms and were pleasantly surprised at how it wasn't too oily and included a nice variety of different kinds. Overall, the experience itself was lovely but the food could have been better given its price and portion size. read more

Hyeholde Restaurant is located inside a CASTLE! This castle was built by the Kryskill family in the 1930s and was both a home and a restaurant. Today Hyeholde is owned by Chef Chris O'Brien. Hyeholde serves dinner in several beautifully decorated rooms. The menu lists foods such as charcuterie, sherry bisque, salads, oysters, foie gras, delmonico steak, lamb, chicken, vegetarian feast, and creme brulee. Many wines and other beverages are offered. Special events include a behind-the-scenes chef's table, pig roasts, private outdoor picnics (which I did a few years ago and highly recommend), and private events such as weddings. For about 10 years, I have been a customer of Hyeholde. (Please see my previous reviews below.) Most recently, my husband and I ate dinner here. The valets, seating hostess, and waiter interacted with us in a very timely and courteous manner. My appetizer was the Little Gem Salad that uniquely contained blueberries, corn, radish, stracciatella, and ginger-lime vinaigrette. My husband's appetizer was the Small Local Cheese, which consisted of assorted cheeses, candied nuts, giardiniera (pickled vegetables), breadsticks, and honey. We also received free bread rolls, crackers, and butter. My main course was the Braised Short Rib, which was very tender and flavorful. Its side was a mixture of brown butter oats, English peas, lamb bacon, mushrooms, ricotta, and lemon confit. My husband's main course was the Elk Strip Loin, and he liked it a lot. It was cooked exactly as he requested, and it came with cornbread, cheese flan, fermented corn, corn purée, cauliflower, and demi-glacé. For dessert, I enjoyed the Peach Melba French Toast. A brioche was topped with peaches, raspberry coups, brown-butter streusel, and cream-cheese ice cream. I drank the Lady Hyeholde Tea, which was black tea with orange, cornflower, rose, lime, and vanilla. I rate all of the foods and the tea as 5 stars! Please note that Hyeholde has policies such as guests being 13 years old or older, using valet parking, and wearing business-casual clothing. read more

Very nice little spot for Valentine's Day. I went with my fiancé the Thursday before Valentine's, I had reserved in early January, and both the 13th and 14th were already fully booked, so definitely make a reservation well in advance. When we arrived, they offered complimentary valet parking. Make sure to bring some cash for the tip, they do a fantastic job. We were seated immediately, though unfortunately in a tight corner. If it hadn't been Valentine's season, I probably would've asked for a different table, but I understand it was a busy time. As an appetizer, we ordered the cheese platter. The highlight, honestly, was the pickled vegetables, they were so good we ordered an extra side (we got charged for that little tiny thing) Their beer selection is a bit limited, but the cocktails are interesting. I had a Heineken, and my fiancée ordered the Cat's Pajamas, I'm assuming she liked it because it disappeared pretty quickly. For mains, she got the Seafood Tagliatelle and absolutely loved it, she's still talking about that pasta days later. I ordered the Elk Striploin; I would've preferred it with a bit more salt, and I'm usually not someone who adds salt to meals after they are cooked, but I trust the chef's decision. I was expecting the bill to land somewhere around $250-$300+, but we were pleasantly surprised when it came out to about $200, not bad at all considering the occasion and place. Definitely worth trying if you're celebrating something special. I imagine the experience would be even better in the summer. read more

Hyeholde for my anniversary!! Did some research and saw it was voted most romantic and that it was. The hostess recommended to sit outside and it felt like we were in an enchanted movie scene or storybook. We were fans of everything we ordered (not pictured : Sherry Bisque and their white wine blend). The cheese plate was heavenly. The olives could've used some more flavor and would've liked to see more seafood in the tagliatelle, but nonetheless, amazing experience with a quick history lesson on the way out. Perfect place for a perfect night! read more

Let me start by saying the Highhold husband or romantic go to restaurant since the 1980s. In November, I called to make reservations for December 17, for four people, 6:30, off the menu. And, this was confirmed. When we arrived, we were told that we didn't have a reservation. As we were getting into our cars , Rick, the manager, came out and asked us to wait a few minutes. They were then able to accommodate us, not off the menu, but for the Dickens play. Once we were seated, the evening became magical. Between the actors, the wine, food, and complete staff, was an extraordinary evening. Thank you Rick, and your complete staff, for an amazing night that will always be remembered. Looking forward to next visit, off the menu. read more

Super expensive but excellent. Definitely fine dining. We loved everything about the entire meal and the intire experience. We asked for water when we sat down and they asked if we wanted sparkling or still and we said still is fine and they brought us out bottles of water and charged us $10. I asked for regular tap because when you're spending $300 on a meal you obviously don't want to add to the tab with something as ridiculous as bottled water when water is FREE at most restaurants. Thought that to be irritating and it did put a damper on the experience but whatever. The food itself was great. We had the cassoulet, both of the different kinds of oysters plus oyster rockefeller, the elk strip loin, the trout, the creme brulee, and a couple of cocktails/champagne The space is beautiful. I found the service a bit pretentious and stuck up. It was definitely a 3.5-4 star experience. We would still go back and give them another chance read more

The food was absolutely delicious and really lived up to the restaurant's reputation. However, when we first sat down it took nearly 20 minutes before we received water. Throughout the evening the service was a bit slow, and our appetizer was also brought out incorrectly. Our waitress was very kind and pleasant, but for such an expensive dining experience we expected a bit more attentiveness and accuracy from the service. read more

An outstanding meal and experience. There are quite a few very good restaurants in the Pittsburgh area and Hyeholde is among the best. The building is unique and very comfortable. The cocktails are creative. The food is thoughtful and delicious. The Chestnut Pasta was particularly rich and enjoyable. The service is attentive. Everything is served quickly after being ordered, resulting in a shorter stay than you might expect. Visit the downstairs walkway to see an interesting history of the building and restaurant. read more

Incredible dining experience. Starting with the location, a beautiful, rustic location that takes you back 200 years with an incredible fireplace. The service is 10/10, servers are warm and knowledgeable and everything our server recommended was a hit. The local cheese plate was the best cheese plates I have ever had. The variety of cheeses and the smoothness combined with local honey was incredible. I would literally come back just to get this cheese plate, it's worth the trip. The short rib could have been eaten with a spoon it was so tender. The accompaniments truly highlighted the short rib and made it an incredible meal. Pair that with the potato side dish which was fried to perfection and you have memorable meal on your hands. I will definitely make it a point to come back anytime I am in Pittsburgh. If you haven't been here it's worth the trip and for what we got I feel it was a steal when compared to other restaurants. read more

Beautiful location that looks like a castle. We were seated near a real wood fire. I had the elk which was cooked just right. Service was very attentive read more

The food and service were top notch! The ambiance was cozy on a fall evening. We had the charcuterie board with the meats and they were delicious. We also ordered the Sherry Bisque and I could've eaten ten more bowls of that it was so good!! I ordered the Delmonico with the potatoes and broccolini. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were amazing. I want to learn how to make them. My husband tried the Elk and loved it. We ordered the crème brûlée and the Apple Melba toast. Perfect ways to end our meal. read more

Wow wow wow. Literally all I can say!! We've been wanting to book the chef's table for a while and was finally able to get reservations. From the start when you step in the restaurant all the staff are so kind. They brought us back to the kitchen where our table was perfectly set, in the back of the kitchen overlooking all the chefs. The Chef's Table consists of a curated menu made with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Each dish was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Some of my favorites were the grilled mushrooms, smoked trout rillette and the venison strip loin. It was such a cool experience to be sitting right in the kitchen watching all the action. Their cocktails were also delicious, expertly made and complimented the meal perfectly. The Chef's Table is definitely a splurge but so so so worth it! read more

AMAZING!!! This is my first time at this establishment. The staff are very welcoming. This is my first time at the Hyeholde, my first impression is extreme positive. A quick note, parking is only valet, so be prepared. FOOD: The menu seems to be seasonal, which is a very good sign. I ordered the truffle beet salad. The salad had a well balanced between the truffle and the salad. I also had the foie gras terrine, delicious: very well prepared. I also had the Trout. The skin crispy and the flesh tender and flakey...amazing. Wine and cocktail selection is good. I had the "Fig of Wrath" delicious! I also ordered a glass bottle Dr, Loosen Riesling which paired very well with the trout. For desert I had the toffee bread pudding and espresso. The espresso was well balanced, not too bitter. The pudding was delicious. Not to overly sweet and not to bready, again delicious. One of the best restaurants I have been to! The interior reminds me of an English pub. The ambience fit most any occasion. Very Romantic and professional. Definitely a must when I'm in the Pittsburgh area! read more

If I could give the restaurant more than a 10, I absolutely would. Every dish was exceptional in both quality and presentation--from the artisan salad and sherry bisque to the Seafood Tagliatelle and Halibut entrees. The desserts were not only visually stunning but also tasted wonderful! The New York Cheesecake isn't your typical version; it's lighter and presented with creative flair like a proverbial work of art! The Carrot Cake was just as artfully crafted and delicious. The staff provided welcoming, friendly, and attentive service. The ambiance, elegance, and stunning surroundings of The Hyeholde, of course, enhanced our overall experience for my husband's birthday. If you haven't visited it in a few years, we highly recommend returning to appreciate the amazing food and atmosphere. Owner and Chef Chris O'Brien, along with his team, delivers a memorable dining experience. They also opened a small Tavern in a cozy spot tucked away in the carriage house. It's a relaxed environment with its own excellent food options. They suggested reservations for both dining areas. We'll be back again to enjoy dining there next. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing! This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food was cooked to perfection. Ribs were savory and slow cooked until they fell off the bone! Sea bass was nice and flakey. The vegetarian feast was amazing! All the different flavors from the veggies matched wonderfully. Cocktails were divine! All the employees were attentive, knowledgeable, polite and had great recommendations. They knew the extensive history of the building. Ambiance was old timed, romantic, and over all interesting! The restaurant still has original and one of a mind pieces from when the restaurant first opened up! Overall i highly recommend this restaurant. Will be going back here! And save room for dessert! Pistachio was to die for! read more

After hearing about this place for years, my husband finally snagged us a reservation here in December. As soon as we pulled up, I absolutely loved the ambiance - a cozy little castle in the winter. The inside was so warm and inviting and we were quickly seated at our table on the upper level. The cocktail list was unique and inventive and my server helped me choose between two I had my eye on. My fig cocktail was divine and one of the best drinks I've ever had. The food list was small but we both found entrees we liked - I chose the steak and my husband chose lamb. We also both started with the Sherry bisque. I can see why this soup is a Hyeholde tradition as it was DELICIOUS, I could have licked the bowl clean. Our entrees were just ok though, particularly for the price. Service was very quick and pleasant. Overall, we had a lovely experience but found it to be a little expensive for the quality of the entrees, at least the ones we ordered. However, you get more than enough back in terms of ambiance, service, and taste with the other parts of the meal. We'd still go back for a special occasion! read more

What a cool place. It is like a castle on its own private drive. Pulling up, you are greeted by valet. They give you a card and were fast and professional. Entering the front, you are immediately hit with charm. They have table settings on the main floor and at the balcony. For the event, I was seated in the dinning room where they host a variety of events. Just the walk to the room was amazing. The view outside, high ceilings and windows. It was a whole vibe in its self. We had a private waiter who was excellent. The bread was soft and salty. It did come with butter and an olive spread. I loved the salad dressing, although the salad was overall one note only being lettuce. The sorbet was served between courses as a pallet cleanser and was tart and yummy. I love this salmon dish. It was buttery and flaky. The vegetables and potatoes were great accompaniments. The cheese cake was a little off putting but tasted good. I was not expecting a sort of blackened top, but it didn't taste burnt. This is such a great experience. I fortunately enjoyed this dinner at no cost but I do understand it can be a little pricy. Definitely something to consider for a nice night out or for a special occasion. read more

A wonderful place to dine. The atmosphere is special being in a building some call a castle that was built in the 1930's. Check the website to learn more. You drive up the driveway to the hidden restaurant. Service is top notch from the valet parking, to the host, to the wait staff. We started with the local cheese that came with candied nuts, delicious giardiniera, Hyeholde honey and three delicious cheeses. Some buns and butter were served after our cheese plate. Had the opportunity to try a bite of a few meals and all were excellent and the sides were all very good and presentation was very nice. The have a large wine list and good drinks too. The beef delmonico was cooked perfectly with a tasty bordelaise sauce, the farm raised Chicken was so tasty, and the best of the night was the Elysian Lamb Rack with a curried demi-glacé and walnut pesto. Don't miss the deserts. We split the Chocolate Pretzel Napoleon that was a perfect ending to a wonderful evening. read more

What an experience! Hyeholde is completely unique in every way! Before entering, you are made aware of how truly special this place really is! The building itself is old and elegant, a story to unfold behind every door and in every nook and cranny. We were early for our reservation, so we were given a tour of the downstairs and then seated to wait for our table by the fire. You feel transported to a different era in a time and place that was simpler yet prestigious. We were seated upstairs overlooking the main floor. It was quaint and cozy. The menu was a 5 course menu for Valentine's Day, and it was nothing short of amazing. Every course was thoughtfully created with outstanding flavor and presentation. I enjoyed everything that I ate, and I cannot wait to go back to try out the Chef's Table! read more

The house itself was built in the 1930s and has this amazing story and history. Check out the underground tunnel for the history after your dinner. The entire menu is very farm to table fresh. I had the trout entrée which had some of the best flavor profiles I've had in a long time. make sure you go upstairs to the restroom and check out the entire house as it is absolutely adorable. The patio in the spring and summer is also a great option. Definitely a must try and I will be going back. read more

It's been a lifelong dream of mine to eat at the Hyeholde, and it finally came true over Thanksgiving weekend! Many Pittsburgh millennials grew up watching the Miss Jane etiquette video which took place in the Hyeholde... if you know you know! This fancy restaurant is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. Definitely take some time to check out the gardens if you go during the day. The food is stellar. I was blown away by the sweet potato gnocchi and the exceptional bucatini with oxtail. The desserts are also top notch, especially the crème brûlée! This is certainly an expensive establishment, and the quantity of the food does not quite match the price. But the quality certainly does! Every bite is exceptionally crafted. Our server Colleen was extremely kind and attentive. This was a great experience start to finish, and I'm so glad I finally went! read more

We have wanted to dine here for years and we got our chance this week. We had reservations for dinner on Wednesday evening and arrived a bit early. We weren't sure how long it would take to get there coming from Latrobe since we had to deal with rush hour traffic through Pittsburgh. Even though we arrived early, we were immediately seated at our table. And we were greeted by our server right away who gave us a few minutes to review the drink menu before coming back for our orders. Alex was a very attentive and entertaining waiter. Drink specials were interesting but I opted for a Grey Goose dirty martini. I asked for it to be extra dirty and it was! Others chose a Nasferatu and a Redrum. They all enjoyed them. Now the food...everything was top notch. Our table ordered the Delmonico, the Halibut and the evening special of locally foraged chanterelles with house made gnocchis as entrees. We also had the Sherry Bisque and Grilled Peaches as appetizers. As a side I ordered the Truffled Pierogies. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and a Mango Sorbet which was refreshing and light. Because he was so busy our server forgot the Charcuterie plate we ordered as a starter. But honestly, he did us a favor, we were totally sated with the food we had. We didn't need it. We would have like to try the house made meats, but another time! As far as the venue, it is simply one of a kind, beautiful and elegant. It along with the food and the service makes this a dining experience, not just going out to eat. We are so fortunate to have this level of culinary excellence here in western Pennsylvania. On the drive in, I said it was a really long way to go for dinner and it had better be worth it. It did not disappoint! We will be back again for sure. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious. The braised short rib melts in your mouth and the sherry bisque is out of this world. I could not get over the local cheese plate with cheeses from Goat Rodeo or the house made vanilla ice cream. Our server, Holly, was lovely and knowledgeable.

I loved the castle-feeling of the space and the gorgeous decor which led to a cozy atmosphere. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Verdict: Hyeholde is perfect for a special occasion dinner. You'd never suspect it's so close to the airport! We ate there on a Friday evening, when it was not crowded at all. They have tables and chairs tucked into a variety of locations upstairs, downstairs, and even outside. We sat in the 2-story "living room" with a big stone fireplace and a view to the garden out front. The meal began with house-made crackers and warm rolls with salted butter and marmalade, and the lux aeterna cocktail for me (it citrusy champagne drink). It continued with a house salad for him (large) and the beet salad for me (small; I thought the cracker croutons were too salty). He had the beef cheek (robust portion), while I chose the quail appetizer (perfect for a small appetite). We finished with the strawberry mousse and nectarine cakes. It was good but not knock-your-socks-off amazing. Comparing the menu prices (we paid $100 per person with tip) with the picnic basket prices ($95 for 2), you are evidently paying for the presentation and service rather than the food per se. I would certainly be willing to come back to try a picnic, or maybe for a cocktail and dessert, as the rest of the menu wasn't that exciting to me, although I hear the charcuterie boards are a specialty. Honestly, if I hadn't already made reservations for our up-coming birthdays and anniversary (Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, Eddie Merlot's, and Fish Nor Fowl), I would have come back in July for the dinner and magic show package that starts at $65 per person. Parking is by valet, and most of the restaurant (including the restrooms) is not handicapped accessible. We had to go down 2 steps to get our table, and the sex-segregated restrooms are on the second floor. (The ladies' room was amusingly decorated with framed 19th-century Godey's Lady's Book fashion plates against wallpaper with an 18th-century country frolic print...in a "medieval" establishment.) read more

Wow. From the service to the ambiance to the meal itself, everything was perfect. The architecture of the castle itself is beautiful. Between dishes, we were told about the love story behind Hyeholde and its roots. We had an intimate corner spot upstairs which was wonderful. All of the dishes were exceptional (we had charcuterie and the cheese board, the short rib, and the chestnut pasta). Will definitely be our new special occasion spot. read more

We love Hyeholde for the charming ambiance, architecture, attentive staff, and delcicious food from starters through dessert. They offer unusual wild game options that you don't find elsewhere, although I'm not as adventurous so I choose the more mainstream offerings. They have different dining areas on both the first and second floors. If you have mobility issues, I recommend requesting the first floor because the steep, narrow steps to the second floor can be a doozy, although that's typical of old architecture. I give the servers a lot of credit carrying food up and down those stairs! They provide valet parking as soon as you arrive at the front door. For that reason I'm not sure if self parking is even an option? read more
