What People Are Saying About Holden's Bistro

In Short – A wall of twinkling votives, soft white table linens, black metal chairs and a playlist mixing jazz and techno sets the industrial-chic-meets-supper-club ambience. The Pearl's cultivated crowds are at home here in the intimate dark wood booths, or at the bar surveying the scene from a wall of mirrors. The menu features items such as fish tacos with grilled Tombo tuna, cabbage slaw and salsa. There's also a succulent half-pound Bima burger.

New Ownership?
by RedXC2006 at Citysearch
Holden's Bistro was a local favorite. A great hidden gem in the crowded pearl. Unfortunately a new menu and what I am guessing is new ownership has changed all of that. Aside from the tomb like atmosphere the food was terrible. Very bland... The salad was like something bought from a bag, the burger had a bun all to familiar to wonder bread and the fries seemed fresh out of the freezer. Its too bad as this use to be such a great spot.
- Pros: Good Memories...
- Cons: New Memories...
