Honest John's! Fabulous !
 
What an awesome time last night ! Went to the soft opening for Honest John's Whiskey and Provisions!
The food was awesome, the service was the best and the drinks were delish! We had Crab Salad Deviled Eggs, Biscuits & Apple Butter (so delish!), Onion Rings, Fish & Chips, Chicken Vesuvio, Lemon Curd w/ Shortbread Cookies, Apple Bread Pudding w/ Whisky Cream Anglaise (OMG!) Mike Buell & Gina Garcia Buell, you have a winner! The staff is wonderful ! This is a must go to restaurant !
The popcorn is unbelievably delicious! :popcorn:
What a menu and everything is fresh ! It is beautiful inside and the bar area is awesome!
This is definitely a place you will want to try ! :coolsmiley:

They open to the public today at 4:00 !!

this is the same folks that own city fire. i was impressed last night with wait staff dress all black smocks with black hats. no tshirts or dirty jeans which seems to have become the norm around here. the upscale houty toutys will love this place. this is not your daddys TGIFs. This is a welcome addition!

If Bonny says it's good then I'm going for sure! By the way Bonny where've you been ? We missed you here.

I loved the uniforms ! Everyone looked great ! It was also nice to see many familiar faces bartending & serving.
We love Mike & Gina ! They run a classy operation ! Love City Fire and Love Honest John's !

Just got back from Honest John's. Really good food and service and ambience. Will definitely be returning. Avocado chicken was subperb!

We went to Honest Johns tonight about 6 and were promptly seated. Fish and chips and shrimp and grits were very good and service was superb. Noise level was a bit too much for us old folks but guess that's to be expected for a pub! Definitely will return! I wish The Buells the best!
