So, I had The Honey Well book marked because the drinks looked pretty cool & the reviews were ok. I was going to a show in Harlem, so I figure there's no time like the present.
As you can see from the menu, this is a bar with finger foods, so if you're looking for a meal, this isn't the place the for you. Looking at the drink menu, the drinks are very detailed & even a little overwhelming. A lot of the drinks consist of some of the same ingredients I observed, but reading the description nothing stood out to me that I wanted to try, however I did give "Love Potion" a shot & didn't like it. The bitters in the drink is overpowering & the taste itself just wasn't good. I literally took a sip & asked the server can I have something else, which I just got a regular drink because I didn't wanna experiment with anything else.
For food we tried the avocado toast with crab crostini, deviled eggs & meatballs. The avocado toast with crab didn't have enough avocado spread on it. It's like they did a dolly of it. You should have a pieces of crab & avocado with every bite but some of my bites were just bread smh. With the deviled eggs you get 3 which is very odd because when you cut a egg in half it's two, so where's the other half of the egg?!?! I only ordered the meatballs because I saw a review that said it was good & I wanna know if they think that's good, I would hate to find out what they think is terrible! Those meatballs were absolutely disgusting. The texture was off, it was too soft & I didn't even know if it was seasoned because it's drenched in hot sauce. I guess they figure hot sauce is the seasoning?!? I don't know, but it was disgusting.
Overall my experience was not good, however the reason I gave the two stars is because of the place itself. They have outdoor seating (it's a small space) so on a nice day you might wanna sit outside vs inside. It has a cozy feel to it, which I enjoy. I'm happy they have a full bar so if you don't want wants on the menu you can get something else. They really need to see about switching the menu up though.
