    Excellent local food with creative culinary inventions. The classic southern fare was executed well and the less expected combinations like harissa spiced mushrooms with whipped feta were the perfect accompaniment. Thea took excellent care of us and Casey is the consummate manager for a busy kitchen. The cocktails were tasty, and the wine was a perfect complement. All in all, a lovely meal.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed both the classic Southern dishes and our more creative offerings like the harissa mushrooms with whipped feta—it's always our goal to strike that perfect balance. We're also so glad Thea took great care of you and that Kasey’s leadership made an impression. It means a lot to hear the cocktails and wine rounded out your meal so nicely. We truly appreciate you dining with us and hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Great food. Unfortunately, we must have come on a day that someone called in sick. The restaurant was not crowded , and it took almost 10 Miniard before she came the table. The waitress never did our drink orders, although she did bring waters. And service was super slow. We were there for a business lunch, and told the waitress that we had allotted for 1 1/2 hours. Evidently, that didn't register.

    Thank you so much for your feedback and for choosing us for your business lunch. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with service didn’t meet our expectations. While we're glad you enjoyed the food, we regret that the pace and attentiveness of service fell short—especially given your time constraints. Hospitality means a lot to us and hearing this experience is not only embarrassing but not ok, we would love to have you back and give you the service you deserve.

    Our server seem to be waiting on every table in the immediate area, and as a result, he was un attentive to us. I had to call him over to request a drink other than water and again had to call him over to request to put in an order for an appetizer. This was all after having been seated for almost 20 minutes. Well, we ended up ordering the appetizer and we later noticed it was removed from the bill without us asking, which was very kind. The poor service was never actually acknowledged, and the whole experience was just kind of confusing.  it was my son’s birthday and I definitely did not feel like we were made to feel like it was a celebration, even though I had called in advance and also made arrangements to bring a cake. In fact, I felt like our reservation was an annoyance to the servant.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry we fell short during what should’ve been a special birthday celebration. Your feedback about the service is taken seriously, and we regret that your reservation felt like an inconvenience rather than the celebration it was meant to be. While removing the appetizer was a small gesture, we know it doesn’t make up for the lack of attentiveness or acknowledgment. We’re addressing this with our team and would love the chance to make it right—please feel free to reach out directly.

    Food was cold, service was terrible, we had to ask for coffee and water twice.
    Honeywood RestaurantResponded 3 days ago
    We’re so sorry to hear we didn’t deliver the warm, welcoming experience we aim for. Cold food and slow service are never acceptable, and we truly regret that you had to ask more than once for the basics. That’s not how we want our guests to feel. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and we’ll be following up with our team to make sure we do better. We’d love the chance to make it right—please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    We have eaten at Honeywood several times and it is my wife's favorite place. We went there for her birthday and overall it was the usual good experience. My wife and son got the Gnocchi and was very pleased with it. I had the Shrimp and Grits and it wasn't up to the usual standard of the restaurant. The grits were bland and instead of being creamy was more like pasty oatmeal. Normally, I would have sent them back, but it was my wife's birthday and I she doesn't like confrontation. The service was great,
    Honeywood RestaurantResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for choosing Honeywood to celebrate your wife’s birthday—it means a lot to us that it’s one of her favorite places. I’m sorry the shrimp and grits didn’t meet your expectations. We take pride in that dish and are disappointed it missed the mark on such a special day. I understand not wanting to disrupt the celebration, but please know we welcome feedback—not confrontation—and wish we could’ve made it right then. I’ll share your comments with our kitchen team to address this. We appreciate your kind words about the service and are glad the rest of your meal was enjoyable. If you’re open to it, I’d love to welcome you back and ensure everything is perfect.

    One of our "go to" places in Lexington. No specials tonight and the one item we ordered off the menu wasn't available. Our server was non-attentive and seemed over worked, but also disinterested. I saw them mixing drinks so maybe the bartender was out? Simple things, like them not returning with new silverware for dinner after taking the silverware away with the appetizer plates isn't fatal, but uncommon here, and disappointing. I had to get some sliverware from the table behind us.

    Food is decent, but not quite what it’s hyped up to be. Service is quite brisk.

    Great food and good drinks. Not too crowded or noisy with great service. The dessert - bourbon pecan pie brownie with ice cream and whipping cream was awesome!
