Thank you also to everyone who sang along and clapped for my mom's birthday and to Kimberly for bringing mom out the birthday cake with Candles!! Definitely a five star Rating with five star Service!!

We just had our wedding at Honey West and couldn't have been happier!! We had a group of 50+ and couldn't believe how great the food was and the amount of good comments we are still getting from family and friends. They were very helpful in set up of the wedding and the food was delicious...I would highly recommend anyone holding a function there or going for dinner or lunch...which we do a lot of!! Honey West is our favorite downtown Burlington restaurant!!!
Burlington has one of the most diverse quality restaurants in a small area. I love to go by the waterfront in the summertime and enjoy the different restaurants. Honey West was not an enjoyable one.
The Good: Patio is nice with a pretty futuristic metal theme going on. Hey anytime you’re out on the patio it’s a good thing!
The Bad: The inside looks like a cross between a restaurant and sports bar. The food was not very well done, the steak was medium well, I ordered rare (I have problems with steak). The mussels where $12 too expensive for what you got, they were very bland and it tasted like the cooks opened up any mussel that didn't open up on its own during the cooking process. Seafood fettuccini tasted very bland and had a strange smell to it.
The Ugly: The service was terrible! The food took over 45 minutes to arrive. Our waitress had friends at a nearby table and sat with them while our stomachs rumbled! Visits from the wait staff where far apart and few.
For the price, Honey West has an interesting concept as a steakhouse with east Asian influences. It is however overpriced with surrounding restaurants offering better food at more competitive prices. I did get a $25 coupon for my poorly cooked steak that I gave to a friend. Forgive me Mikey! Honey West is far from Burlington's Best.
We visited for the first time during the Taste of Burlington promotion (4 course meal for $40/person). Each course was excellent. Portions weren't huge, but were just right. The peanut butter creme brulee was amazing! There was live music later on in the night, and the service was quite good. We'll definitely be coming back.
Me and my companion decided to try this place as the Taste of Burlington menu was on. I have to say the food was fantastic but the service was average at best. It wasn't Christina's fault as she was trying quite hard but she was the only person expected to wait on the entire restaurant on a friday night which wasn't fair to her or the patrons, not sure what management was thinking on that one !!
i have to say the Spinach and Goat Cheese Crespelle and the Kobe beef lasagna were fantastic. My companion had the Chow Mein (average) and the Arctic Char which she really enjoyed. Also desserts were very good quality. Can't wait to go back and try the Kobe beef burger. It is pricey in general but the quality of food matches the bill, def worth trying out.
I also noticed they mysteriously put there price up at the end of the first week of TOB which i thought wasn't really fair, if you advertise a price you don't jack it up halfway through.
I found the food here really good and very much value for money plus the beef is organic. The lobster bisque and beef carpaccio were fabulous. Good atmosphere, friendly staff but service needs to be tweaked. Good entertaiment thursday night. Will definately be returning.
The food, the atmosphere and the service were all fun! Maybe the prices are a little bit on the steeper side, but the food is delicious and I don't mind paying for the quality! I had a featured chicken dish the evening we were there, one of our party had a pasta dish she absolutely loved! One of us had a fish which was delicious and the fourth person had the Kobe Beef Burger which was fantastic! All in all everyone was happy with their meals. The beets, goat cheese and garlic side is absolutely perfect as are the crab scalloped potatoes... Perfect place for picky eaters too!
Always wanted to try this place......sorry I did
Way overpriced and seemslike it can't decide what it is. Restaurant? Sports Bar?
Service was spotty and server was VERY inexperienced

Will never return
We went for lunch. Food was very good. Service could have been a bit more attentive after we finished our meal as our plates were not taken away very quickly after we had finished our meals. Considering there were only two other parties in the restaurant, we would have expected faster clean up. Other than that, a very good meal and good service - overall. we are looking forward to dinner at Honey West.
