Chris and Ouita Michel put Midway on the world food map when they opened Holly Hill Inn eight years ago. Their beautiful restaurant has a national reputation for Ouita's creative use of local meats, cheeses and vegetables, and for Chris's wine list, which gets the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year. It's the first place I think of when I want to take friends or clients or just enjoy a great meal. The seasonal, prix-fixe menu is always changing and always delicious and the service is friendly and professional. If the Bourbon County rack of lamb is available, be sure to try it. Whatever you order, you'll be impressed by the incredible food and service! Holly Hill Inn serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00p.m. and weekend brunch from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m. The restaurant is just outside of town near the I-64 interchange at 426 N. Winter St. Check out their website, and then call Donna for reservations!
