I visited this restaurant with my kids the other day. Just happened to be in the area and needed a quick bite. When we first walked in we were greated by a very pleasent man dressed casual but very neat. He promptly sat us a a large booth and gave us menus. Drink were ordered and arrived quickly. We asked for any suggestions on the menu and were told that "everything is great"! Well......of course that would be said at any restaurant!! But.....it actually turned out to be true. We had wings - very large and yummy, a chicken salad with quacamole, salsa, etc - delicious, a burger - great size and easy on the taste buds. The special of the day was a spicy thai shrimp stirfry over noodles - wow!
For a very modest establishment, no frills, bells or whistles it was great! I will go back again. -

There is a high point to this establishment...the name. If I were into cute, and the name alone cut it, this bistro would be the bomb.
The site itself has been the site of many failed restaurant. The last establishment on these premises was the aptly named Catharrs Pizza..and no they did not serve mucus. But they are gone and now we have Honey's.
The menu is uninspired and to use a cliche totally vanilla. No signature dish, no pizzaz. At the risk of alienating female readers, there was quite a bit of pulchritude amongst the servers one of whom was sporting knee high boots and short short form fitting skirt, which were the norm there. But that is a function of the fact that this place is more of a bar/bistro than a restaurant.
We were a party of 3 and one of us ordered the Salmon. In these days of cultivated salmon, it is a surprise that it taste 'fishy'. That is simply not possible unless it was delivered that way or became that way on premise.
Another order was for the Beef Ribs. There was a choice as to how many ribs you could order and my table mate decided to order a 2-rib plate. The ribs that were served were very small, laden with a nice layer of grease and not very meaty. Just ribs that had been prepared in a factory somewhere fully devoid of soul.
I ordered the Chicken Tenders. There were 8 or 9 choices of saucing for those morsel, and I chose the 'hottest' one. As it was being served to me 5 minutes after my table mates, the waitress exclaimed that the smell had almost burned her nose. Well I ate those tenders, and there was not much heat. We will see if that holds in the morning. The fries that were served with the Tenders were limp and not too tasty. A side caesar salad complete my meal and it was by far the highlight of the meal.
We all agreed that this would be our first and last visit to this establishment. We were able to use a $12.00 Entertainment Book Coupon, which softened the blow.
I guess I will wait for the next restaurant to open in that location before eating there again.Listed in: My List of Shame

It was with some trepidation that we headed here, for I had done my research and found one less than glowing review here. We wanted a quick snack before heading to the park, and like that other Yelper, we had an Entertainment Book coupon. Those were the deciding factors. We arrived around 7 pm. I promised myself I would order something "safe", i.e. hard to screw up. That turned out to be the basic nachos. My husband ordered the chicken fettucine. Both were suprisingly decent, if on the small side.
A few more noodles would have been nice, but there was plenty of sliced chicken breast and sauce with a big slice of garlic bread on the fettucine. Not quite enough to satisfy my husband's appetite. The nachos were oven baked, not nuked, with lots of chunky vegetables (tomato, green pepper, green onion, jalapenos), minimal cheese. Small cups of sour cream and salsa ruined the overall effect, making a stingy impression. I wish I had brought a camera--they were similar in size to those small cups of tartar you get with some fish & chips.
My husband theorized that they had read the first review here and titivated themselves. Our server was a lovely lady wearing a tasteful black outfit. She was faultless. The food and bill arrived fast. She was very polite and kind, and we felt lucky to get good service when we were in a hurry. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a breezy summer evening. Too bad the patio is beside the parking lot. Customers of the dry cleaners next door stared at us and/or parked at the curb beside us to pick up their stuff. Hey guys, there are actual parking spots too.
I think if you are careful what you order this place should be a pretty decent experience. I think we'll return to use up our other coupons. Would I ever eat here without a coupon? Probably not.
