Founder Jerry Hollinger takes pride in hand-selecting the finest produce available for all three of his restaurants, traveling each week to historic farms in Maryland and Pennsylvania to bring back seasonal fresh produce for his restaurants, J. Hollinger's and The Daily Dish in Silver Spring and The Dish & Dram in Kensington, Maryland. Our singular goal is to procure the very best ingredients and prepare them in a way that enhances their incredible flavors for all of our top rated Montgomery County restaurants and bustling bars.
The focus on using only the best ingredients for the Silver Spring elevated dining restaurant takes the J. Hollinger's culinary team everywhere, from the Chesapeake Bay for local seafood, cattle farms in Texas for 100% certified black angus beef, all the way to Iceland for sustainable sea salt that is geothermally formed in the fjords. Each item on our menu has been carefully crafted and carries a unique story, with a blend of haute cuisine and playfulness.
In addition to the bold, fresh flavors that can be found on the menu, diners enjoy an inviting ambience in the modern-rustic dining room and horseshoe shaped bar. Whether you're looking for an intimate evening out ensconced in one of the private booths, a celebratory dinner, or festive brunch with family and friends, or one of the best happy hours in Silver Spring and Montgomery County, J. Hollinger's has a table or a bar stool waiting for you.
