    Filet, with potato's, mushrooms in a Demi sauce

    Great place, nice atmosphere and good quality food. The wine list is no joke and they have a full bar. Service was perfect and no rush.

    super accommodating to fit in a couple of extra people! we went down to the speakeasy (shhh) while waiting for our table. the drinks were amazing! the bartender was very friendly and informative. he helped us choose our drinks and was spot on! the good was fairly good. not the best steak that i've had but i enjoyed how it was prepared.

    We came for our one year anniversary dinner and put that on the reservation, but didn't get any acknowledgment or congratulations. We didn't expect any but the reservation asked what we were celebrating l, so I don't see the point of asking to begin with if it's not acknowledged. Food was good, but not stellar. The staff almost seemed "put off" or "stand off" when greeting us and serving us, but maybe that's part of their attitude here. None seemed super happy to be there or working or serving us. That's okay because we came for the food that was good. My scallops were super tasty, but for nearly $40 I was shocked I didn't get 3 of them, but rather only 2. My wife liked her dish but had a minuscule amount of rice that we thought tasted stale. She loved her fish though. We both loved the cauliflower appetizer. Nice ambiance. Low key but upscale

    Hangar steak

    Stopped in for dinner on Saturday night. Nice ambiance. The back of the restaurant, along with the bar, is casual. The front section of the restaurant is more formal. I'm a back door, bar kind of guy. That's the way I roll. Ordered the hangar steak. Delicious. Cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The Four Roses Old Fashioned started off the evening. A big rock and a luxardo cherry and I'm good to go. Anyway, dinner was outstanding. The burroto chicken was also delicious. Service was great too. Can't wait to return.

    Gnocchi and Scallops

    Butch's Dry Dock is located in the downtown area of Holland. The inside of the restaurant is tastefully done, the bar is small but nice, and there's a nice outside area for when the weather is nicer than it was on our visit lol. Our server was friendly and attentive. And she did a great job explaining the preparation of the dishes we asked about. My tequila old fashioned was quite good as was my wife's negroni. I had the octopus app, which was quite good. The grilled lemon was a nice touch. My burrata chicken was good, but I thought it was just a bit underseasoned. My wife has the gnocchi and scallops. It would've been nice to see 3 scallops instead of just 2, and she said it could've been a bit hotter. This was our second time at Butch's, and I expect we'll be back again.

    This place is amazing! They were able to accommodate our party of 12 for a bachelorette party dinner. The waitress was very attentive, the drinks and appetizers arrived quickly. The food was outstanding, many of us ordered the hanger steak and the shrimp spaghetti. Everyone loved the food!

    Very poorly executed chicken dish
    Ima H.

    The ambiance is great, the space is beautiful, the service is fantastic, and the wine menu is impressive for this part of the country. However, the food is average, at best. I have dined here twice and both times was shocked at both the lack of skill in preparation of the dishes and the elementary level of thought that was put into the creation of the dishes. This a beautiful, elegant, and pleasant place to dine but the food is actually laughable.

    Chicken Parmesan

    It's an odd restaurant. The front half feels a bit more upscale, the back half not so much. We weren't even greeted when we approached the host desk. Service was impersonal at best. The Vegetable MEZZE was a total joke for $16. Including 2 tiny strips of peppers and 2 pieces of dry pita, a few olives, beets and unappetizing goat cheese. GARLIC FRITES were tasty. The Shrimp Spaghetti was OK but it had a fishy odor that was a bit of a turnoff. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken was underwhelming, oddly plated with too much unprepared spinach and 2 raw tomatoes slices. Extensive wine list. All in all not worth the $ in my opinion.

    Hanger Steak
    Michelle W.

    I visited which is dry dock for the first time to celebrate my dad's birthday. He picked the restaurant based on Yelp in the picture of the hanger steak. We made reservations for 4:30 which thankfully we were made aware that only appetizers salads soups and drinks are available at that time. The full menu is available 5:00 p.m. and after. We arrived we were immediately seated in the bar area promptly greeted by our server and started our meal with tea. We ordered garlic frites which came with tarragon aioli. Dad had never had aioli previously and ate all of it with his fries he liked it so much! For our meals we had hanger steak (of course) and shrimp pasta. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly and very juicy. The shrimp pasta came with quite a few shrimp and big pieces of artichoke heart. Definitely two hearty meals for the price! For dessert we had raspberry cream pudding type of thing. It was just enough sweet to finish the meal properly! And since it was dad's birthday they even comped that for us. Very kind of them. Being seated in the bar area the ambience was relaxed but very proper and that sound level was low to moderate which I thought was great! Considering it was the bar area I was expecting it to be loud and it absolutely was not - no problem having a regular conversation at normal volume. I would recommend and return for another special event.

    Seared seabass
    Jenny Z.

    Had a lovely work dinner here in the private room downstairs. It was a coursed menu but all of the items on the night's special menu were also on the regular menu. I loved everything we ordered. Started with garlic frites, olives and cheese, and the truffle cauliflower. The cauliflower was my favorite! So perfectly cooked and anything with that truffle oil is just divine. For my main meal I ordered the seared striped seabass. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. So much flavor in the skin. The beet purée and espresso balsamic reduction paired complemented the fish very well. For dessert I ordered the crème brûlée which had excellent flavor. The texture was on the liquid-y side which was a little unexpected and not my preference but taste was still good. We had a sommelier suggest two really nice bottles, a French pinot noir and then also a French merlot/cab franc blend. The m43 New England IPA was from Michigan so also got to try that before all the wine. Really easy to drink NEIPA. Food and drink were all great... would definitely recommend this white tablecloth cozy dinner spot to anyone in the Holland / Grand Rapids area.

    I made a reservation a month in advance because I wanted to have a nice dinner out while in town for the weekend. When we arrived to check-in for our reservation, it was clear there were two very different experiences in the same restaurant. In the front there were white tablecloths and nice piano music playing as well dressed diners enjoyed their meals. I'm the back were metal tables in the bar area with with loud conversation dominating the room although it was not that full. I asked the hostess who seated us if we could sit in the front of the restaurant instead, no table available we were told. The food was good, but the ambiance was disappointing, especially because for the same price we could have been in the front part of the restaurant! The service was acceptable. There is a small unisex bathroom that should be better in an upscale restaurant.

    Old fashioned
    Denette D.

    The food was great! We loved the bread course and the garlic fries were cooked perfectly, and so flavorful. The hanger steak was amazing and a perfect medium rare just as requested. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The only opportunity for improvement, if I had to make one, is the service was quite slow. It did take a bit, nearly 20 minutes, to receive our drinks. It was still a really good experience out with friends! Oh, and the crème brûlée was silky and delicious!

    Paula B.

    Make sure to grab a reservation on open table ahead of time, especially during tulip season! We had an amazing time. Must try the truffle cauliflower, hanger steak, and seared scallops.

The space is a bit rustic and feels more casual than the menu might suggest. The food is kind of new American with some Asian-inspired twists. We started with the crab rangoon - I loved that they use real crab for these, but they were not quite as light and crispy as I would have liked. Still, a nice app to share and I liked the sauce. I ordered the Thai steak with noodles, which I was assuming would be a steak with noodles on the side, but it was really a noodle bowl like drunken noodles. It was pretty spicy (spicier than I might have expected, but perfect for me), with a generous amount of tender steak that was cooked perfectly. I found the noodles to be a bit undercooked, so they were a bit too chewy. When I reheated the leftover noodles the next day, they were perfect. Olivia got the salmon, which had a bit of an Indian vibe with tikka masala spices and toasted naan for crunch. I had a bite of the salmon and enjoyed it. I also liked that they ask what temp she wanted the salmon cooked to - a nice touch. I'm glad I got to experience Seventy Six and would come back in the future. Street parking was pretty easy right in front, and we stopped at their sister bar, Obstacle No. 1 for a drink after dinner.

So, when my friends and I were in Saugatuck for a bachelorette party and decided to stop by New Holland Brewery, I was stoked and we were not disappointed. The vibes, service, and food were all great, and the menu has plenty of options to choose from. Even without a reservation, we were able to get a table upstairs that comfortably fit our large group, which was impressive given how busy the place was. Our waitress did an amazing job keeping up with such a big party and made sure everyone was taken care of. The menu offers a nice variety, including starters, pizzas, salads, soups, and sandwiches, all at very reasonable prices. Most entrees fall in the $15 to $20 range. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted because so many items sounded good, but I ultimately ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich for $15 with a side of cream of potato soup. Both were excellent. The chicken was huge, perfectly cooked, and well-seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The soup was creamy with a great balance of potatoes. Overall, I genuinely loved my meal and would absolutely return the next time I am in town. I also did not hear a single complaint from anyone in our group, which says a lot when dining with a large party.

Just when I considered leaving the establishment, she suggested a risotto which she would personally tell the cooks to make it gluten free. The risotto tasted ok especially with Sriracha. Kelly then suggested the gf turtle torte which was amazing. If it hadn't been for Kelly going the extra mile for me, I would have had nothing for dinner that night because there simply aren't any gf options in Holland for dinner.
