Loved our dinner! Service was great, atmosphere was inviting and chic. The food was amazing! You can really tell a lot of care went into each dish! I had the salmon with broccolini and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. And creme brulee for dessert. Lovely place!

We are regular diners at the Waunakee Buck & Honey's and have often commented on the loud noise level inside of the restaurant on many occasions. However, last Friday we had made a reservation, arrived and were promptly seated in the main dining area. After only a couple of minutes, my wife looked at me and said "I can't hear myself think in this place tonight". She was absolutely right. The "din" was at least a couple of times worse than we'd ever experienced in the past. After a short discussion (mostly shouting at each other to be heard) we got up and left and went to Culvers. We missed the food which is usually good and the great experience with the servers who are very good but could no longer put up with the volume of noise. They REALLY NEED to do something about sound deadening in that building. So, if you're over the age of 25 and want to be able to have a reasonable conversation with your spouse or friends, I'd look for another restaurant option.
