Hoito Restaurant

the food is great...

the food is great and the hostess' are pleasant. There is somewhat a long waiting time, but it's all worth it when you get in to sit down.

Meh....

Sadly, I'm not a fan of fin pancakes. Which is obviously what the Hoito is famous for. I went for lunch, and waited over 30 minutes to find a table. Which wasn't cleaned very well, might I add. I ordered an omelet with cheese, mushrooms and red peppers. It was gross, never again will I eat there! I couldn't even finish it. The mushrooms were canned, the cheese was processed, and it was overwhelming how many peppers it had. I always ordered toast, which came to me cold. Only go to the Hoito for the pancakes.

Decent food and pretty cheap. UsuAlly a wait to be seated. Try the clubhouse. Nothing fancy by any stretch.

Like big crowds?

The wait was not too bad and the food was pretty good.We pretty much all ordered breakfast,except me,I ordered Finnish sausages that was very good.The pancakes and other foods that I saw being served pretty much was what I was raised on as a child and looked authentic for sure!Yes it was in the basement of a Finnish hall ,it was crowded and had a few flies buzzing around ,but by no means was the food stale with that turn over and it was very good and plenty!

What Happened?

What happened? My family used to take me to the Hoito during our summer visits when I was little, it has been over 30 years now. The wait was not long, the food was fantastic and the service was always good. Each year we visit the prices go up, the wait times get worse and service seems to also get worse. I was there this week at 11 am and waited for 25 minutes to be seated. We then waited another 40 minutes after we placed our order for our meals. The restaurant was hot and uncomfortable. I like the pancakes but they are not worth over an hour of my family’s time. It’s a shame the restaurant has changed this much. .
