  10. Holly Hill Inn

    Midway, United States

    Holly Hill Inn occupies a nineteenth century house in Midway, surrounded by the agricultural landscape of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region. The building’s domestic proportions and historic character create a sense of arriving for dinner in a country home. It is a setting that gives the restaurant’s interest in local farms and regional food traditions a natural context. Seasonal menus draw on Kentucky produce, with vegetables, meat and other ingredients selected to reflect what growers and suppliers are bringing to the kitchen. The cooking combines familiar Southern references with a more considered restaurant structure. A set menu encourages diners to follow a complete progression, while wines and Kentucky spirits offer different ways to accompany the meal. Midway’s small scale makes the inn an appealing stop during a wider journey through horse country and nearby towns. The experience is best approached at a relaxed pace, leaving time for the house and its surroundings as well as dinner. Book ahead and confirm the current menu and service days.
