ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!

by sawtooth26

i booked my b'day party at honey. the waitress was by far one of the nicest waitress i have ever encountered. she was so gracious and made sure everything was accommodated (from lighting to music to drinks). the bartender was also extremely thoughtful. my friend just dropped a drink he just got (b/c someone bumped into him), the bartender got him another drink on the house. super friendly!! great service!! going back for sure!! :) :)

• Pros: extremely nice waitress, considerate bartender!!

Great experience!

by crusty3775

I went to Honey last night with 3 friends from work and we will definitely be going back again!

The service was great, the food and fondue were excellent and you can't beat the $3 glass of delicious champagne!

We highly recommend the "Peanut Buttercup" fondue!

• Pros: Attentive waitresses, $3 champagne special on Wed. nights, great R & B/Hip Hop music playing

SNOOBS

by Eish151

I don't usually right reviews but I felt compelled to do so since this was the WORST EXPERIENCE of my life. I made reservations for my girlfriends bridal shower dinner and this place tried to RUIN it. First of all it opens at 8pm and our reservations was for 8pm so as we were arriving they were opening. It was a surprise so when we all arrived we were shocked to be told they didn't have our reservation. It was just they didn't have it the entire time the man and the hosteses were looking at us as if we didn't belong there. They were not helpful or seemed they wanted to accomomidate us. Told us some nonsense that they didn't have our reservation and they were having a private party and we would have to get out of our seat at 10:15 when it was already 8:30. Then to make matters worse he rudely informs us that this is not a RESTURANT its a bar and everyone has to be 21 years old. When only 2 of them were not but this was never said when the reservations were made or when we were standing outside. I was upset and disgusted with the rudeiness and attitude I got from the so call manager. So we thought fast and went to Marrons on 16th Street between 7/8th Avenue...EXCELLENT place. But as for HONEY I will never ever bother and I encourage no one else tooo especially if you don't fit that catagory if you know what I mean.

Honey is the worst in NYC!

by nkarafin

I had worst experience.. ever.. I never in my life was so disappointed and frustrated as after my resent experience with Honey.

I made a reservation week in advance for my daughter 15th Birthday ? for her and her 12 friends (age 15-17). It was Friday evening 7 pm they arrived to the restaurant in time under a havy rain and manager REFUSE them to get in motivating that they are not 21 years old. If the age requirement is about selling alcohol, then ? do not sell. If the 21 is a requarement to get in,then please post it on your web site and ask during the reservation. How can a fondue place be an adult eatery only? Honey spoiled my daughter's birthday party.. I have no words to tell how I feel?.

Unhappy parent of the kid who had spoiled birthday party by Honey

great bartender

by raulperez

me and the boys stopped here the other night. place is cool, music is good. bar was a little empty but we still had a good time thanks to NICHOLE THE BARTEDNER. she wasnt like the snobby bartenders you usually meet in that area. shes hot, funny, and made sure we had a good time. i stopped back in to see her again but she was working at there other spot - not sure where that is. i will definitely be back just to visit this cutie.

Badly Made Fondue... No A/C... unknowledgeable staff...

by morbidiqua

I had been passing Honey by for a few weeks now. They have about 3 different types of cheese fondues and 3 different type of dessert fondues.

Several bad things:

1) It was empty inside

2) It was HOT inside. No one bothered to put the A/C on and it's like an oven in there. Why would anyone go to a bar that is hotter inside than outside?

3) The fondue was repulsive... the flavor actually made me a little sick eating it.

To say the least my friend and I ate outside because it was too hot inside. We shared the Swiss Fondue for 1-3 people which was $25. They were not very knowledgeable about their food. When I asked what kind of wine they used in the fondue the waitress told me "We don't put wine in the fondue." Oh really? Then why does the menu have white wine as an ingredient in the Swiss Fondue?

I will NOT be returning to Honey. Also the bartender was more interested in the game on TV than doing his job.... which couldn't have been that hard considering there was NO ONE IN THE PLACE.

• Pros: Nice looking restaurant
• Cons: No A/C, unknowledgeable waitstaff, BAD food

A nice place to lounge

by anniechen39

Me and my friends were just walking around and looking for a place to eat. I actually came across this restaurant because my feet were tired and I really had to sit down so we came into Honey.

The tex-mex (??) Cheese fondue was excellent especially the shrimp that came with it. Their champagne dessert fondue wasn't too great and was very sweet but, hey, it's a dessert. I wasn't too satisfied that they didn't have many specialty drinks to choose from but, our waitress, megan, was very sweet and definetly made our night. Her recommendations were very trustworthy and I am definetly coming back, hoping to bring more friends.

• Pros: very nice place to lounge and atmosphere is comfortable
• Cons: small seats and table

eh....unmemorable as a place.

by trendygrlz

Its funny we went the same night as the person who posted earlier...We didn't have to pay an open bar fee? But the place was definitely average-ish. The hosts didn't give us attitudes but they weren't the best either. The seatings was so small I think you can maybe have two people to a table atmost. And everything was kinda expensive. But the drinks and food was creative - not that filling though.

Open bar? No thanks!

by JHBELL

Do not go to this bar!! My friends and I are are tired of the snobby meatpacking atmosphere so after checking out the website, we decided this was worth trying out. WRONG. The website is misleading because it specifically says how different they are from the other bars in the neighborhood. We arrived at the door and were told we absolutely had to pay the $25 open bar fee otherwise we couldn't come in. I drink top shelf liquor and it's a known fact that open bar has a limited selection of liquor and it's all bottom shelf. They would've made more money off of us had they just let us in without the fee. Then, the manager BRIAN MAZZA came out, spoke to us like we were idiots and said he didn't want to deal with us. We paid the fee (stupid) and it was open bar till 12:30. At 12:10, I tried to get a drink and was told the open bar was closed. Now we had to pay for our drinks after paying 25 dollars 30 min. prior. The bartenders were completely rude (maybe they don't like open bar either-less tips). Never coming back.
