Waited a long time to be seated for our reservation. Service was friendly but slow and not particularly attentive. Food was served lukewarm and not hot. Food was just okay but not good enough to make us think about wanting to go back. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Saturday night. Perhaps that was a sign...

We ate outside. It was a lovely day and our server, David, was terrific. the fried chicken is the best and very large portion-5 pieces of chicken. You might want to consider sharing.
As a restaurant affiliated with PGA National, my expectations of the food were set higher and I'm sad to report, the food was below average. I would compare this to chilis or even less.

I was expecting much more. Overall, it was fine. The staff was very attentive. The fried chicken was good not exceptional. (The corn bread was great.) The Rib Eye was fine but even more fatty than expected. We were very excited to go. But the experience did not meet the expectations.

In spite of having a reservation, we couldnt be seated for a while. Then we were seated next to a party of intoxicated women, who were so loud we simply could not talk. After moving to an outside table, the food finally came. The “specialty of the house, fried chicken wss accompanied by burnt, blackened cornbread and incinerated broccolini. Another side, risotto, was a tiny dish of mush. All told, this restaurant was a major , expensive disappointment. Awful experience

We had lunch a couple of days ago. Menu seemed ok for lunch. I ordered the Fish of the day sandwich which was a mahi mahi. The description said lettuce and tomato. It came in a platter full of French fries which I can't eat. I asked for a substitute and stated neither the menu nor the server mentioned the fries. I was told the server will be right in. She never showed up. The sandwich was good. But I was dissatisfied.

Fresh food served in a beautiful outdoor atmosphere. We always enjoy our time at HoneyBelle's. the only "not-so-great" food item was the pizza - it was quite soggy. Everything else was delicious! Staff is friendly and efficient.

The fried chicken for 2 people was good. The Mac & cheese was not hot and was a small portion. The vegetable ragu was not hot and was not very good. The service was very slow, took probably 15 min. To get a drink. The server was good, the support staff, I.e. the bar tender was either understaff or not efficient.

Perfect family dining experience where kids were treated as valued guests and food from the general menu and the kids menu was well prepared and tasty. Our waiter went out of the way to ensure kids were taken care of even if it required “special order!” Wine list is limited.
We arrived for our 645 reservation only to be told that there was a 15 to 20 minute wait if we wanted to keep our outside table but we could set immediately if we sat at the bar. We were very disappointed and how the situation was handled. We would've been happy to sit at our table with water, and perhaps some bread while we waited for the kitchen to catch up. We were disappointed to have to sit inside in order to sit at the time of our reservation. Then, all of our food came basically at once we didn't have time to eat the appetizers before our main dish was served. We have eaten at Honeyvale many times before, and this our worst experience.
One of our friends uses a wheelchair, so I called ahead to check that the dining room was accessible. I was told they have a lift to move wheelchairs to the dining level. However, when we arrived, the lift wasn't working. Our friend had to be wheeled outdoors in the rain in order to enter the restaurant. Shameful!

Service was terrible. They brought the entree out before the salad. We sent the entree back and asked for our salad to be served first. The pizza we got with our salad was cold. Had to ask three times for our second glass of wine. Won't be returning.

We went a little early, so it was quiet. Service was prompt , but not overly friendly. Fried chicken was delicious. Other entrées were ok, but not great for price point. Pretty atmosphere. Large wine list.

Excellent meals, both the ribeye and fried chicken dishes were delicious. Great service from the bartender as we sat in a booth in the bar. Nice staff, great food and cute ambiance. We'll definitely be back!

Mushroom pizza was excellent, as were the side salads. Our server, Angel, was very good, but did not mention that a 20% service charge is automatically added to the bill. I didn't notice it until later, after I added another 20%. I certainly should check my bill more carefully, but was chatting with friends ...lesson learned. I would go back again and just be smarter!
