Lovely date night on a snowy night. Enjoyed our meal and the delicious bottle of wine we picked. Melbec has always been one of our favorites and it paired well with my chicken and potatoes.

I have had the pleasure of dining at Honeysuckle on multiple occasions, and I can honestly say I have never been disappointed. Last night was no exception. We enjoyed the truffle fries (omg), shrimp and grits (perfection), which is the special for the week, and a salad with whipped ricotta that was truly a work of art. The strawberry tiramisu was made in house and was simply delightful. The flavor profiles in everything I’ve eaten there are nothing short of culinary wizardry at its finest. Kudos to this fine establishment for knowing what good food is all about.

We start with free range, all natural amish chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey.
