As of this moment, there is construction fencing around the grounds, so it was hard to find this place from the road if you're not staying at this hotel, but parking seemed plentiful. And then you have to walk towards the pool and past the snack shop to find it. The host stand is also outdoors away from the patio. Avocado Toast was yummy, but a little slippery: the sliced tomatoes that sat on top of the sliced avocados slid right off and onto the table, so a fork and knife is recommended.

Everything was delicious. Service was welcoming and fast! We were in and out in about an hour. We sat in the shaded area with a view of the pool which was lovely. There is dedicated parking for people eating at Holoholo which is always appreciated. Thanks for yet another great breakfast!

Aaliyah was the host and she greeted us warmly and brought us to our table. Nat was the first to greet us at the table and offer us water, and he stopped by a few times throughout our meal to check on us and make sure our table was cleared and our waters always full. Mayan was our server and gave us a top-notch fine dining experience, while being warm, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout. Our courses were timed perfectly, our drinks were cold and our food was hot. We had the scallops with the pork belly and white bean purée and it was divine. Next we had a sushi roll that rivaled anything I've had on the island and even in Japan. My steak was cooked perfectly and the side of whipped potatoes we ordered was like eating a heavenly buttery cloud. The silky strawberry cheesecake was exquisite and we ended our meal with an affogato that was poured table side. Not to mention that they were offering a big discount to locals that whole week which was a lovely and generous surprise! Overall, our experience was amazing, we felt like they graciously welcomed us in, and the food was excellent. I've eaten all over the island many times over, and this is the best restaurant on the island in my opinion.

Tasted like canned tomato sauce w/no seasonings, so it was bad AND it didn't go well with crab. It should've been a light sauce or just butter noodles w/crab. We'll probably be back!

We got fried pork chops, sweet and sour pork, stuffed eggplant in black bean sauce, beef in Szechuan sauce, gau gee mein, honey walnut shrimp, and saimin for my daughter.

Ironically, the butterfish ended up being one of the most memorable dishes of the trip and for all the wrong reasons. The misoyaki butterfish was so overwhelmingly fishy that we genuinely struggled to eat it. And I don't mean "this tastes like fish" fishy. I mean the kind of fishy where every bite makes you increasingly aware that perhaps you should stop taking bites. The short ribs were unbelievably fatty...easily the fattiest we've ever had. There was so much fat that after a few bites, we just couldn't stomach them anymore. So now we had two entrées in front of us, could barely eat either one, and were both disappointed and somehow still hungry. Which is how we ended up ordering the chocolate soufflé. Not because dinner had earned dessert, but because we still needed dinner. The soufflé was fine. Fairly basic, but at that point "edible" was a major improvement, so we happily ate it. We also ate at Red Salt on this trip and weren't particularly impressed there either, but Eating House 1849 was worse. At least Red Salt had good sushi. I genuinely don't understand the glowing reviews for Eating House. The location is great and the atmosphere is fun, but neither was enough to make up for how disappointing the food was.
