Had an amazing dinner Tuesday night and planning to go back with friends. I ate at the bar as a solo diner. Bartender “Sheridan”was amazing- friendly and knowledgeable. Food was delicious with beautiful presentation. They have a nice wine & other spirits selection including Blue Rook from Danville (as well as bourbon).

5 stars isn’t enough.
The flat bread is a literal foodgasm.
I had the pork chop, partner had the pesto. All dishes were 12/10.
Food is definitely worth the price. We will be returning to try the rest of the menu.

What a charming place to enjoy fresh, delicious food and drinks with friends and family. The Za’ataar Flatbread and Beet Down cocktail were wonderful. My husband enjoyed the burger with a side salad. The service was very good and they accommodated a special request to make lemonade. They had a 5-6:30 happy hour with great prices. The atmosphere has an industrial loft feel that looks like it could be lively, fun, and potentially a bit loud if it’s busy, but it had just the right amount of customers and noise for a wonderful, albeit it a bit early, light dinner. Very affordable compared to most cities.

Beautiful setting and great staff! Overall, the food and beverages were fantastic. The staff were professional and courteous, getting us seated quickly and providing recommendations based on our flavor preferences. The service was fast and efficient but not rushed. I would highly recommend!

My husband and I ate here for the first time for our Anniversary. It was AMAZING!! I made a reservation and requested that we be sat in more of a “private” area, just away from a lot of people. When we got there, they had us sat on the small stage area and it was perfect!! Just us and that’s all. Our waitress, Madison, was phenomenal and came to check on us at least every 10 minutes and kept us refilled on drinks/bread and kept our table cleared. For the appetizer, we got the Truffle Fries and they come with a side of ketchup and their in house made ranch dip, which was the best I’ve ever tasted. For dinner, I got the Berkshire Pork Chop with goat cheese mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini. Everything was so flavorful, the pork chop was extremely tender and the potatoes were a new taste for me and I believe that’s how I’ll start making them from now on. It was so delicious!! My husband got the Steelhead Trout that was served on a bed of zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and broccolini. He said it tasted the best and was very fresh and tender. For dessert we got the fried apple dumpling dish with vanilla ice cream and a caramel sugar candy on top!! We cleaned the dish! I would have licked the skillet if no one else would’ve been there. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this place for any occasion. The atmosphere is gorgeous, rustic and somewhat romantic when it’s dark outside. There is an overwhelming smell of fish when you walk in but that’s to be expected being that they serve seafood. You get used to it and don’t even smell it after a while. Definitely plan to eat here more and try different dishes!!

Berea is a small quaint town with many attractions for all kinds of people. The Fat Man is a food connoisseur in search of good food. This is where Honeysuckle Dining and Bourbon House comes in. Honeysuckle offers southern cuisine with global influences served in a restored historic building with a full bar and event space.
I tried The Churchill made with Maker’s Mark, Spice Syrup, Angostura, and Black Walnut Bitter Blend. The bourbon had a good kick and flavor. The bitters came through on the back end, sweetening the entire drink.
My wife tried the Blackberry Bramble, which was made with Benchmark Small Batch, Blackberry Rufus’ Sweet Lemonade Agave, and Lime. The blackberry flavor comes through immediately; the lemonade and lime hit the back pockets of the mouth and leave a lingering tart taste. The bourbon is well hidden but adds to the flavor of the drink.
We started with the Frog Legs. They were fried frog leg saddles with house-made spicy maple glaze. Frog legs can be rubbery, but these were very tender and offered a decent chew. The spicy maple had a good sweetness, but the spice was too subtle, and the sauce was thin, not clinging to the meat.
We both ordered the Filet Mignon—an 8 oz center cut with romesco polenta and grilled zucchini. The grilled zucchini was spot on with some char and had a good flavor and salt. The polenta was creamy and seasoned well, and the red pepper tasted great. They add a scallion oil that brings the next level of texture and flavor to the dish. The black pepper from the steak was a welcomed addition to the polenta, as it had a slight sweetness. The filet had a great crust that was full of flavor and salt. The meat was tender and juicy and cooked to a perfect rare center.
Honeysuckle has a small but well-thought-out menu and a full bar. Less is more when it comes to small menus. The Fat Man says that Honeysuckle Dining and Bourbon House is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.

We picked this restaurant to celebrate the Mrs. Birthday and it was fantastic. The restaurant quickly began to fill up after we had arrived, so I was glad that we had made reservations. I tried the pork chop and it was delicious I even enjoyed the collard greens and mashed potatoes. The Mrs selected the scallops over a carrot puree and it was very good. She picked the apple dumpling from her birthday dessert and it was soo good, worth the wait as it took about 20 minutes to fix!! For our cocktails I picked the Churchill and the Mrs enjoyed the Pineapple Aperol Daiquiri. All in all we were very pleased with our selection for a very enjoyable birthday celebration!
