29th Annual Morel Mushroom Dinners!

May 20 - May 25

The 29th year of preparing a eight-course dinner built around the wonderful MOREL MUSHROOMS of Michigan!

This is the theme dinner that every other restaurant tries to imitate, but you can enjoy morels at the Holly Hotel, where it all began in 1979!

Our "pickers" have estimated that the prime time for Michigan Morels should be the third week in May, so we will begin the Morel Mushroom Dinners on Tuesday, May 20 and run through Sunday, May 25.

If you LOVE morels, you'll want to call NOW and make reservations! Our regular menu will also be available for those guests that don't particularly care for these morsels.

This event ALWAYS becomes "Sold Out!" Please call today, 248/634-5208.
