    Corned beef omelette and hash browns
    圳韬

    This was a family run, laidback kind of place that was frequented by locals who seemed to be there every week. The food was hearty and good, and of course the appeal of having all day breakfast is hard to resist. I had the corned beef omelette, which was flavourful, but hard to eat as the thick corned beef was difficult for my knife to saw through. Their desserts looked delicious, and I could not resist their chocolate chip cookies. Their ambience is limited, typical diner style. I felt slightly uncomfortable when I first arrived, as there was a hush and lull in the conversation as the entire diner stared at me, as if trying to make sense of the strange Asian intruder, but the wait staff welcomed me warmly and I felt at ease afterwards. For delicious food, great service, and amazing desserts, 4 stars.

    I highly recommend Seventy-Six if you're visiting Holland or the surrounding area. The food was…read morefreshly prepared, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was excellent -- perfectly timed, without a single unnecessary wait. The prices felt very reasonable for the quality and level of the restaurant. I usually love to finish a great dinner with dessert, and since the food was so good, I skipped appetizers and saved room. The four of us tried all three desserts on the menu. Given how impressed I was with the food, I expected a little more from the desserts. They were good, but for me, they didn't quite reach the same level as the rest of the meal. Overall, Seventy-Six is a wonderful, atmospheric restaurant that made our trip to Holland even more enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend it.

Our waitress was really nice and overall service was quick. We ordered the Lemon Chicken and the Wedge Salad. The reason why I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is mainly because of the chicken dish. I was expecting it to be more citrusy, but I feel like whatever lemon flavor it was meant to have was lost by some sort of sweetness. I think the Meyer lemon butter made the dish was so oddly sweet it mixed in with the rice underneath. Overall, this dish was sadly disappointing since we were looking forward to something savory and herby but got what felt like a sugar bomb for chicken. The salad was good and loaded with toppings, however, I felt like there was way too much dressing that drowned the salad once it was all mixed. If possible, I would get the dressing on the side. All in all, great ambiance, good service and a wonderful location. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong things. Still worth checking out, if you're in the area!

    Living in the Chicago suburbs means we're spoiled with dining options, but Chop Shop Primehouse…read moreeasily ranks among my top picks. It can be a little tricky to find, yet the reward is absolutely worth the journey. This is a small, intimate, uniquely designed steakhouse--zebra rug in the entry, artwork hung between booths for privacy, a cozy 10‑seat bar, thoughtful touches in the restrooms, and a staff that's as friendly as they are knowledgeable. Every detail feels intentional. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you're taken care of by some of the best hospitality professionals around. A special shout‑out to Julianna, who handled our meal on this visit as well as the last--pleasant, kind, courteous, organized, deeply knowledgeable, and simply excellent at what she does. Now, the meal. I started with a Chopshop Old Fashioned made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, crafted by a skilled mixologist using a large square ice cube stamped with the restaurant's logo. One of the best Old Fashioneds I've had. Next came the Iceberg Salad--Danish blue cheese, confit tomato, lardon, and a soft egg, all resting on a blanket of blue cheese dressing. Unbelievably delicious, and easily enough for two. For my entrée, I ordered the Bakkafrost Scottish Salmon from the Faroe Islands (look it up--tucked between Iceland, Scotland, and Norway). It arrived glazed with bourbon apricot, paired with shallot gastrique, parsnip purée, spicy pecans, pork belly, and multicolored mini carrots. Every bite was a layered, balanced taste sensation. The sweetness of the salmon and glaze, combined with a touch of gastrique and parsnip purée, created pure gastronomic bliss. My date ordered the Meatloaf Wellington, made with house‑ground filet, puff pastry, duxelles, prosciutto, mashed potatoes, and bordelaise. You say meatloaf--I say filet. Absolutely delicious. If you haven't been, take the drive. You won't be disappointed.

My husband got the Wagyu strip, and while the flavor was good, we were both a little underwhelmed by the food overall. We also split the wedge salad, which was just okay. The layered potatoes really had no flavor and we had high hopes for those. The rolls were delicious, though! Our server, Julianna, was awesome and definitely made the experience better!

I especially liked the nonalcoholic choices while my husband enjoyed the craft beer selection. Food and service were both excellent. The deviled eggs are a must, and that's from someone who generally doesn't eat them. The dinner menu isn't terribly large but what they do, they do very well. Dessert menu rotates but the pots de crème we ordered was amazing. Prices and portion sizes are pretty reasonable. We intend to make Borrowed Time a regular stop during or trips to SW Michigan.

They were both delicious. The meatballs were flavorful and moist. The soup tasted fresh and creamy with little chunks within. Those both were my absolute favorite. I was slightly disappointed in the smoked salmon, as it didn't seem like it was smoked that well. To me it was more baked than smoked. The bread was good and the Honey butter was a nice spread on it. Chicken had a nice sauce/flavor to it, though was a tad on the dry side for me. Atmosphere was alright, we enjoyed the outdoor seating and never went inside so cannot speak on that. Service was alright. Nothing to write home about. Not sure I'd make this a place to visit a second time. Thought its worth a try once.
