    Malone's staff long has put a priority on exemplary service. Supervisors know customers have high expectations of the restaurant, it's good, and the service workers provide. Our visit on Feb. 15 met, or exceeded, any expectations we had going in. Our main server, Caroline, was highly attentive and service-oriented, even though she was apparently having to double at the bar. Support staff who assisted in serving us also were superbly friendly and helpful. Simply put, our meal, and our entire experience at Malone's, could not have been better!

    First time at Honeywood and it was amazing. Took our two girls for Valentine’s Day dinner and the food and experience could not have been more perfect. The restaurant has a mix of farm charm and modern luxury vibes. The service felt like we were family. The selection of food met the needs of our palates. Deviled eggs, fried oysters, Caesar salad, ribeye, shrimp and grits, Brussels, ice cream flight…looking forward to our next visit.

    Excellent service on a very busy night. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and sat at the bar to order a drink while we waited. Even though we were unable to get a drink before our table was ready, the bartender was very transparent about how busy he was with tickets and apologized (unnecessarily) about not being able to get to us. Once we sat down the food and drinks were getting to us in a surprisingly timely manner for how packed it was. The food was fantastic and well worth the price.
