    It was our third wedding anniversary so we made reservations for a Friday evening and drove two hours there. The service was impeccable, and they made it such a wonderful, memorable experience. The food was amazing and we ordered so much we couldn't even imagine ordering dessert. They surprised us with personalized menus for our anniversary that we could keep, and our server made sure it was a perfect evening. Of course, the food was amazing and the filets cooked perfectly. Overall wonderful experience that we enjoyed greatly.

    My husband and a friend visiting from NH went to Honeysuckle for our 46th anniversary. The drinks were so good and very reasonably priced. Jason (from NH) had the pork chops and I had the blackened catfish. What an amazing dish. I had not had catfish for many years but after having this wonderful meal, I plan on going back really soon. I also cannot say enough about our server, Dani. She is the epitome of service! This experience was a great blessing to all of us.
