I chose the pernil (pork) with yellow rice, fried plantains, a couple chicken and pork empañadas, and couple potato balls. (Yea... I'm HUNGRY and greedy).

I haven't gotten to the actual meal yet... still stuffing my face with round one. I'll come back later to update.

A Place That Feels Like Home…read more Some restaurants are worth visiting because of the food. Others are worth visiting because of the people. Hola Restaurant is one of the rare places that gives you both since the moment you walk in. I first discovered Hola about 4 years ago when I was working near Island Pond. Every Friday, my coworkers and I looked forward to ordering from there. We'd all pitch in for breakfast or lunch, and my boss would pick up our order. It quickly became our Friday tradition, and honestly, it was always the highlight of the workweek. Over the years, Hola has become much more than just a restaurant to me. I've trusted them to cater my baby shower and my son's birthday, and every single time they exceeded my expectations. Whenever friends or family come to visit, Hola is one of the first places I take them because I know they'll leave impressed, not just by the food, but by the experience. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. No matter what we order, it never disappoints. Even now, living about 40 minutes away, I still make the drive because it's simply that good. What truly sets Hola apart, though, is the people. The woman who cooks is one of the sweetest, most loving people you'll ever meet, and the staff makes you feel like you're walking into a family member's home rather than a restaurant. They remember your name, they remember your family, and they genuinely ask how everyone is doing. Those little moments mean so much because they make you feel seen, appreciated, and welcomed every single time you walk through the door. In today's world, it's becoming harder to find places that combine amazing food with genuine hospitality. Hola Restaurant has mastered both. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share because the food usually disappears before I even think about taking one! But trust me when I say this place is worth every single penny. If you're anywhere near Springfield or even if you're not, make the trip. I promise you won't regret it. For me, it's not just a restaurant anymore. It's a place that feels like home, and I'll continue recommending it to everyone I know. Highly, highly recommended.

What really made the experience special was how authentic and comforting everything felt. It was like sitting in someone's kitchen, enjoying a home-cooked meal surrounded by family. The food was full of flavor, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. Truly a wonderful experience! Pedimos pescado frito, pollo a la parrilla, rabo de res y costillas, ¡y absolutamente todo estaba delicioso! Hasta el jugo de naranja estaba espectacular. Lo que hizo la experiencia tan especial fue lo auténtico y acogedor que se sentía todo. Era como estar en la cocina de una familia, disfrutando de una comida casera hecha con cariño. La comida estaba llena de sabor y el ambiente nos hizo sentir como en casa. ¡De verdad, una experiencia maravillosa!

I REALLY wanted some Dominican food this evening! I looked around on my way back from Newport RI,…read moreback to MA, and this place was open and it had decent ratings. When I arrived, there was a very sweet older lady at the counter who greeted me. I knew I wanted to get food to go so I was kind of in a rush due to being tired from the ride. I ordered chicken breast, yellow rice with beans and sweet plantains. The woman (the hunger in me did not allow me to ask what her name was) took my order and said that the chicken and plantains would take a few minutes because they had to be cooked. Which was ok with me; I did desire fresh food. The food was cooked in no time. The woman was so sweet because she didn't charge me extra when I changed my white rice to yellow rice - I did leave a nice tip though. Fast forward to when I got home to eat: the food was FREAKING AMAZING! And, it was plentiful! Enough for leftovers for tomorrow! If I could give 10 stars, I would have! It was probably some of the best Dominican food I'd ever had! I will be back! The physical place itself is basically no-frills but the food makes up for all of that! 5 stars!

What was bothersome was , when I asked for a side of salsa for the rice ,I was brought a small amount salsa and charged $1.50 for it . Not life changing charge but On a 90$ tab, that just landed as ridiculous. When a manager asked how everything was, I shared my thoughts on changing for a tiny amount of salsa on a tab of almost $100 and she was defensive about the charge .. why ask then?? not really customer service I care to revisit

Amazing Food, Beautiful Ambience, and One Billing Issue to Fix…read more Fire by Forge is quite an experience. The ambience is beautiful, with gorgeous brick walls and a thoughtfully designed space that makes the restaurant feel special. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch. Our waitress explained that Fire by Forge is a nonprofit organization that teaches culinary skills and helps employees find jobs afterward. It's a wonderful mission, and it was great to learn about the work being done through the restaurant. I had the honey chicken sandwich, which was delicious. The honey was perfectly balanced, adding just enough sweetness without overwhelming the other flavors. The homemade kettle chips were a little overdone but still very good. My friends had the ribs and the burger, and everyone was extremely impressed with their meals. The alcoholic drinks were excellent, too. We had mules, and they were fantastic. Unfortunately, the billing process took some of the shine off an otherwise excellent experience. The check included an automatic gratuity that appeared to be less than a standard tip, along with another charge that none of us could identify. We assumed the additional charge might support the nonprofit's mission, but that wasn't clear. We were then left trying to calculate how much additional gratuity to leave on top of the amount already included. For example, if a customer wants to leave a 25% tip and the bill already includes 10% gratuity, they have to calculate the additional 15%. If there's another unexplained charge, it becomes even harder to determine what has actually been paid and what additional amount, if any, should go to the server. This should be explained clearly upfront and itemized on the menu or check. Supporting the nonprofit may be a worthwhile part of the experience, but customers should know what they're being charged for before the bill arrives. Clear communication would also help ensure that neither customers nor staff are left at a disadvantage. Overall, Fire by Forge has exceptional food, wonderful drinks, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend it. With a little more transparency around the billing and gratuity, the entire experience would be just as impressive as the meal itself.
