We stopped by one night to visit a friend, and even though there were a lot of us (with kids), my sister-in-law and I sat at the bar for a drink. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful—warm, welcoming, and stylish. As an interior designer, I was blown away by the space and design—it’s stunning. I ordered an espresso martini, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The drinks are on the pricier side, but completely worth it for a place like this. The host and staff were so kind—one even complimented me, which was such a sweet touch that made the experience even better. We can’t wait to come back for dinner and another round of drinks. Honey & Hooch is such a gem!
My wife and I had reservations for today. They were able to seat us a bit early. The atmosphere was very nice and calming. We got a couple of small plates and 2 entrees with a couple of mocktails. The scallops and calamari were very good. They had a special pasta dish with shrimp tonight and my wife got that. I had the pad thai with lobster. Both were amazing. Especially the pad thai. The layers of flavor made it well worth the price. Give them a try if you're in the mood for some good food!
I'm from Florida, went on a date here. I asked was this considered a speak easy and was told yes. We sat at the bar. Bartender Heather was amazing at her craft! There was a bit of a mix up with our food selections. My date ended up with my food because the manager didn't know the difference between the steak chilli and his steak meal but we didn't make a big deal of it. The calamari looked very light in color we thought it was going to be rubbery with no crunch. We were very surprised when it was actually crunchy and well seasoned!
I’ve been to this restaurant a few times, and it never fails to disappoint! Most recently, we came to celebrate a friend‘s birthday. I love all the small plates, makes it super easy for sharing! The first drink I got, I wasn’t totally in love with, so I let our waitress know, and she said it was no problem to change it out for something different. My favorite appetizer was the bronze scallops, they were so delicious and cooked perfectly! The entire table enjoyed the truffle fries the most, I think we got three bowls of that alone! If you’re looking for something unique and different for your next night out, I strongly recommend this fabulous restaurant!
As you can see from the pictures, food was AMAZING! Ceviche was fresh and delicious, the plantain chips were the perfect touch. Crab Rangoon egg rolls were so yummy-I didn't want to share! Halibut was cooked perfect, we tore that up. Lamb lollipops were delicious. My friend loved her steak tips and wagyu sliders. The crispy Brussels were perfect, I could eat a tub of them. Jerk tuna was delicious as well. The dessert creme brulee was way too good. I will be back to just eat dessert. I loved the blush mocktail as well. 5 out 5 for food, experience, and atmosphere.
What an exceptional establishment it gives vintage speakeasy vibes the decor and the ambience are beautiful. The bartenders are very skilled in their craft showcasing a lot of very good cocktails and mocktails. We tried a variety of small plates to include steak bites, seafood ceviche, lamb chops, truffle fries, Wagyu sliders, oyster Rockefeller, guacamole and deviled eggs. All of the dishes were amazing my favorite had to be the Wagyu sliders, guacamole (has chorizo in it) and the oysters. They have a regular menu as well. Will definitely be going back to try the ribeye as customers raved about it. Was an extra plus that social hour from 4:30 to 5:30 PM has All dishes and drinks 50% off. If you have never tried this place you are missing out. I think I’ve found my new weekly spot.
A restaurant has soft, low lighting creates an intimate and cozy atmosphere, encouraging guests to relax and focus on their dining companions and food. The small plate dishes were delicious, full of taste, and enjoyable. Vinny, our server, was very attentive and gave us good recommendations regarding our food choices. They have an extensive wine bottle list.
