This is a classic dish that is always a winner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the hollandaise sauce is rich and creamy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hollandaise sauce turned out lumpy. The asparagus was good, though.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The asparagus was a bit overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was too lemony.
