    We enjoyed the restaurant very much. However, my husband’s French dip sandwich had lots of fat on it and the dipping sauce was not flavorful. My chicken pasta dish was great!

    Loved the atmosphere. It was definitely on the noisy side, so don't go expecting a quiet restaurant. Great music and energy! Service was superb! Food, WOW!! Menu is meant to be served tapas style, and shared. For 2 people we got the charbroiled truffle edamame, dumplings, Korean crispy wings, crab fried rice, burnt ends lettuce wraps, and spicy tuna on crispy rice. We would order all of it again, and throughly enjoyed it! Can't wait to return!

    The Honeysuckle Is a terrific restaurant. It has a wide-ranging menu, great service, and tasty food. I've been there for lunch several times and have been thoroughly satisfied. When friends say let's meet for lunch The Honeysuckle is my go-to recommendation. I'll be back!

    Sad this was our last meal here. Robert is an incredibly talented chef. Avery and Katy are lovely. The food and service were always spot on. We were lucky to have found such a special place. So sorry to know the doors are closing and we can’t come back.
