    This last weekend, my partner Whit and I came up and stayed in Holland, MI for the weekend. It was an amazing time! We walked local shops, went to the Freedom Village's Annual Holiday Bazaar as well as the Farmers Market, antiquing, and more! But the most amazing moment was when I took him to Windmill Island on Saturday afternoon and proposed!! The windmill was a BEAUTIFUL backdrop for the moment! That evening we had dinner at Butch's Dry Dock which was delicious! I made a note on the reservations with a potential engagement celebration, and we were met with an amazing table, friendly hostess, and champagne to celebrate with. The food was outstanding and really capped the evening perfectly! The entire weekend was so magical, I just want to thank the people of Holland, MI for having such a gorgeous town and for Butch's for helping us celebrate!

    Very disappointing overall. We were seated at an awful table that felt like hallway in an office building. We asked the hostess if there were any other tables, she told us they were all reserved. There were plenty of open tables throughout our stay. The crab dip was tasty, but the portion was so small that we only needed two of the eight pieces of bread provided. The scallop appetizer was ridiculous, with only two dime-sized scallops. The sticky toffee pudding was equally disappointing, tasting more like a dry muffin with Cool Whip on top. My husband did enjoy his ribeye and sweet potatoes, which were the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, between the seating, small appetizer portions, and disappointing dessert, I wouldn’t choose to return when visiting Holland.

    Almost all aspects of the meal and service were good. Good value for the money. The only negative feedback we had was that the chicken parm was overcooked.

    The food and service were outstanding! Appetizers are small so order accordingly. The entrees were delicious and portioned appropriately. Highly recommend the Burrata Chicken. The Hangar Steak was melt in your mouth perfect!
