Dinner HoursWednesday & Thursday, 5:30 - 9 p.m.Friday & Saturday, 5:30 - 10 p.m. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE OUR CURRENT MENU! Holly Hill Inn serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday beginning at 5:30 p.m. We offer a multicourse menu, with the option to enjoy three, four, five or six courses. A note about our menu from Chef Ouita: We try to keep our Web site postings as accurate as possible, but during the high growing season our dinner menu may change suddenly. What is harvested today can be gone tomorrow! Initially, we changed the menu on the first Wednesday of each month — no matter what. What confounded us was that locally grown vegetables often refuse to accommodate our calendar! I also found that changing every dish on the menu on the same day was too demanding of our small staff. Now we change with the farm: When new vegetables come on, we use them the following week on the menu. Some menu items, however, are constants. We always have a vegetarian selection, local poultry, local pork or rabbit, local lamb, beef tenderloin and a fresh fish entrée. We also always have a variety of first courses, soup, salad, local cheeses and Stella Parks’ delicious desserts. As a chef, developing a “style” was difficult for me because I love all kinds of cuisine. I’ve prepared an Indian feast here, as well as served Thai foods for an entire month! But now, after more than 20 years, I’d say I’m finally finding that our food is simple, earthy in flavor, and based on the time-honored traditions of country French, Italian, Spanish and Southern cooking. Especially during summertime, please continue to refer to our online menu, but understand the preparations will adjust to offer to you the best of what our local growers take to our door. Our menu may change overnight, but our goal always is to charm you and prepare the best food we can. |
