Delaney House - Holyoke

Usually enjoy ourselves when we have dinner here, however my meal was sub par. Our server was great, can't recall her name. Ordered a cocktail and a glass of red wine. Placed our orders for an app of coconut shrimp, mains were the deconstructed beefWellington and the coconut crusted haddock with mango and roasted red pepper over risotto. Place was cranking so it took alittle extra time to get our meals, not a problem. Well my wife's beef was delicious but my fish was dried out, part of thecoconut crust was burnt and the risotto was pasty, should be creamy. Oh, could have used a little more mango (was diced verysmall) and roasted red pepper. I was asked by our server and a hostess at different times if everything was OK, and Ireluctantly said yes. But as I kept eating my fish and trying to eat the risotto I had to say something. At this point I had myfill, maybe ate half the fish, and asked for the check. This is when I mentioned that my dish wasn't very good. Our server hadmentioned that I should have mentioned it sooner and I could have ordered something else, but I was hungry and didn't want towait for something else. Anyway, long story short it was a good experience, my meal was comped (was not my goal to get the mealcomped, just wanted to ensure that someone in the kitchen be made aware of the fish being dried out). We will return. We havebeen here several times and have had very good meals in the past.

I am not from this town; I am a visitor who stayed at the D. Hotel next to this restaurant; I was told by the hotel staff that this restaurant is good. So, I went to place an order . When I entered the restaurant, a lady told me right away. Are you fromDoowDash. I had many questions. 1) does this restaurant do Doordash? They are open for 3 hrs or so a day for couple days duringthe week 2) Is this how they normally great guests? So, my first impression was that I am not coming here as it seems not awelcoming place. We decided to order to go. We have tried Burger , crab cake, and stake. The food is very basic and does notalign with the same environment that this restaurant is trying to create. I have decided to give it 2 stars because I eat withmy eyes and ears first, then I use my mouth to taste the food.

We ate in The Mick (bar section). The atmosphere is upscale for a bar, but still relaxed there was live music and people were singing and dancing a bit. Service was excellent, very attentive and friendly. Food is the same as they serve in the diningroom and is excellent as well. The steak I had was tender and cooked as ordered. Great place for a special night out but alsothe prices are reasonable and it would be good for a burger and beer on a regular occasion.

Delaney House was perfect for our Anniversary….Tessa was a really great server and the food was delicious. My husband ordered the Gorgonzola Steak tips and I had the Turkey Dinner….both were awesome. I also had enough left over for lunch today. A fewdrinks and nice ambiance….we will definitely be back. I have met the owner (or one of them? out in my past profession and heis friendly and gracious, only wanting me to support his business and spread the message even more.

I herd a lot of negative comments about the mic but I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and excellent service that we were provided. The popovers were scrumptious as a starter. My steak tips were tender and flavorful. My wife had thebaked coconut crusted sole that was also very good. And both meals were reasonably priced for today's market. So glad we wentthere and so glad it was so positive.
