Chill-vibe atmosphere. I am visiting and I came here twice, and near my hotel. The staff are very nice and accommodating. The food very nice and diverse and have good options to try out. As it is cold, I ordered the tomato soup, which hit the spot. The Indo Beef Curry though was fantastic, I didn't expect that this place will serve this food here. Also tried the meatloaf rolls which is really good. They have wide selection of beers and cocktail as well. Will surely come back next time I am in Madison.

Delicious brunch & bloody Mary’s! Very cool decor and atmosphere. The Badger Blood Bloody Mary had famous Stella bread in it and great toppings! The meals were excellent and we had great service. You can see your spot in line on yelp, which is very cool. Highly recommend!

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere…. Went on a Sunday around 10am and was seated by 10:20. I’ve been wanting to come here for a while but thought it would be a longer wait since it always seemed hoppin… but everything was great about this experience . Would def recommend and come again for brunch and cocktails … chefs kiss to this place!

Awesome food and drink for breakfast/brunch. Friendly staff as well. Cool atmosphere. Would highly reccomend for an upscale bite to eat with friends or your significant other.

Ashton was the best server we have ever had. We moved to Wisconsin a week ago and are so happy to have discovered Cafe Hollander! Honestly, the best food and service. I highly recommend the cheese curds and the pretzel bites. Their cocktails are also fantastic. You can’t go wrong! Make sure to sit in Ashton’s section for the friendliest/best service.

Soo good. My husband and I stopped for brunch and both meals were excellent. It is a bit on the pricier side but totally worth it! The atmosphere is relaxed and the restaurant is in Hilldale so you can walk off your meal with some shopping.

We sat in their Bier Room, had Brushetta with goat cheese, cheese cards and a wrap. Everything delicious. What was a surprise was their home made tea - exceptional. Can't wait for the patio to be open! A true Madison gem!

Fantastic! Consistently excellent food and service. Large selection of beverages. Eclectic collection of dishes to pick from. Complex flavor combinations that are super satisfying!

I was super excited to eat here with my family as the atmosphere is lovely and the menu looked fantastic. However, I was extremely let down from the moment we stepped in the door as we were (not) greeted by a rude and snarky hostess. It went downhill from there - we waited patiently for about 40 minutes for our food, while we sat and watched other tables around us get theirs before us (when we were there first) and then my meal had obviously just been sitting under the heat lamp too long as it came out cold and inedible. The meals were bland and one dish in particular left a weird after taste. AND the most disturbing thing was that the water - plain ol’ water - smelled like fish and tasted disgusting. Through our obvious disappointment we weren’t offered any kind of compensation. We spent over $80 on a meal for four and that doesn’t include tip - which we didn’t leave.

The food was amazing and so was the server. A cute unique place. Bloody marry was also amazing. I do recommend!

I have been back and forth on writing this. But really I think you should know that you are falling short. I used to live downtown and loved trying all the new restaurants. Starting a family has changed that so I was excited to finally get to try out CH at Hilldale for lunch on a beautiful day last week with my 3yo. I was very disappointed. Service was not good but it was the food that had me down. I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich per our servers suggestion and it was uninspired and bland. No flavor, under seasoned, boring. I eventually was able to flag down a hostess or maybe a manger to get me some spicy mayo which helped some. Our fries which were what I’d been looking forward to were ok, but not very hot and kind of bland too. The kids grilled cheese was a bit of a conundrums, on one hand it was made with high quality whole grain (read lots of seeds) bread but was then filled with American cheese. I don’t know many kids who love bread with seeds and that was the first time any grilled cheese we have ordered was made with processed cheese. And believe me we’ve made the rounds to many a kid friendly cafe in Madison. Your space is amazing and you always seem busy but I encourage you to hold yourself to high standards.

The spiderwebs over our table made me lose my appetite! Service was horrible and I had been a server for many years! Food was average at best. Menu had me so excited to try all of these unique dishes! Food finally arrived, presentation and quality was average. It wasn’t even that busy!
Lisa Charleston
Beautiful place the food was great ! Can’t wait for it to warm up so we can eat on the patio

I had the best experience with Bridgett as my server!!! I will be asking for her every time I am there!!!. She was amazing, attentive, fast and made great conversation. She made the experience 5 stars!! Thanks Bridgett!

$15 for a burger and fries is 1.5 times more than most places in Madison. The burger did not even have a tomato or lettuce on it. It was not exceptional to justify the high cost compared to other restaurants and missing standard toppings one would expect. I also never received silverware and resorted to using a friends used napkin because the server was mostly mia
Jerry Gibbs
Service was great on relatively quiet July 4th. Beer/wine list is impressive. Food was ok. Pulled pork sandwich was pretty good as well as BLT and A. Fries weren't hot, and bland. Canal side salad also uninspired and ok. Would go back but not my first choice. Other places are cheaper and better in Madison as far as food quality.

We had our Company Holiday Party here today and the food and service was five star. The time and the large space we used was reserved and they were fully staffed and ready for us. Excellent time was had by all.
Nathan Schroud
The food is most delicious with an awesome beer menu. I would like to venture into the whiskey den but I'm scared I won't ever leave
Wendy Schaver
The atmosphere was great. Sat on the second floor. I had the breakfast sammy and Hollander potatoes, which were good. My niece had the chicken bacon avocado sandwich and frittes, which she said were also good. Definitely got a lot of food. We will certainly go back.

We were in town visiting our daughter at college. What a great time we had. So happy to see such an amazing gluten free menu. As crazy busy as they were for Sunday brunch, the service was fabulous!! And the food was outstanding! Can't wait to go back again next trip!
