    Cocktails.
    Tyanna M.

    I went in here a couple of time but for cocktails only. I liked the cocktails and the bartender in both instances was attentive and quick. I sat at the bar both times and both times it was early in the day. I do not recall the drinks I had but they had a decent cocktail list and I was staying in the hotel that is attached to it. I will likely go again the next time I am in the hotel, I usually stay once a year.

    A recent addition to the Covington area. Went on a Sunday at 11am and was seated immediately. Server came by to ask for our order. The restaurant had a modern aesthetic, semi-formal ambiance fitting for the location. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The food overall was a blend of southern flavors and American ingredients. I enjoyed my chicken benny as a more protein rich option. The egg was poached perfectly, the potatoes were well seasoned. The french toast on the wasn't the best I've had in Cincinnati or in the states but was still on but easily great for the area. The chicken on both dishes were chicken thighs that were still moist, juicy and crunchy. The mandatory 20% gratuity that is added on to your check automatically which didn't sit well with me. However I would not hesitate to return if I was craving and upscale restaurant with southern flavors and honey.

    A place worth trying! New restaurant in the area, with a great Southern flavor menu. Great choice for brunch and dinner. Service was excellent, Liz did an amazing job. Brava! Good place for drinks and family dinners. The shrimp and grits were very tasty. Lots of flavor and good portion size. Food was fresh and we'll prepared. Give this restaurant a try. Eat well and enjoy!

    So this spot recently opened , decided to come across the bridge to check it out. Solid experience! The wait staff was all super friendly. Very helpful when trying to figure out what was good. They did not lead us astray, it was all great. Brian was an amazing bartender. He hooked us up with some really good honey old fashioned joints. Also Saturday brunch has a live band. Sunday has the DJ on the turntable. Happy hour is everyday between 3 and 6. It's in a hotel, but has an outside entrance. For parking, they validate so keep the in mind for the lot across the street. Has indoor and outdoor seating so you can get a really good view if you're indoor and outdoor, it has a full bar as well. So if you want a cocktail you can definitely do that too. Mumbo wings were good AF (have decent DC vibes). The grits were great, I would absolutely come back for them... They were the star of the show. My goodness they were fire. I don't eat fish but everything else was solid! The Mac and cheese was good and creamy. The cray cray pasta was really good as well. I would 101% come back next time I was in the area.

    Espresso martini
    Mikayla A.

    I've been here a few times since they opened and it's always a great time! I love when they have live music outside on the patio! The outdoor seating is a nice touch for great brunch vibes. Our servers are always knowledgeable and helpful. I went for my birthday and she made sure I got a special birthday treat! Now, onto the food... those southern charm deviled eggs.... ‍ chefs kiss! Super flavorful! My go to is the crab cake blt. They give you a nice sized crab cake and aren't skimpy on the crab. The remoulade sauce is the perfect finisher. The espresso martini is one of my favorites in the city. It's the perfect blend of espresso and sweet!

    1/2 Chicken + French toast
    Jennifer S.

    Relied on my Yelpers to find a good dinner spot while in town visiting family, and we opted for this place. Did not realize it was a restaurant attached to Embassy Suites Hotel, but that wouldn't be a deterrent in coming back. Great menu, super tasty fresh and flavorful cocktails with excellent service! OMG!! Hands down the table favorite -- Red Velvet pancakes (on the dinner menu). Definitely a good stop if you're in the area. Everyone at the table gave it a big thumbs up!

    Great food! Great service! Had a little hiccup with my husband's omelette, which was taken care of immediately. We Got the fried green tomato slices (I make them more well done) served with a great sauce. Omelette - great he would get it again Eggs Benedict- thrilled they would serve the ham on the side so I could give it to someone else to enjoy Poached eggs on chicken - he loved it!! French toast - he loved it!! Great service! Highly recommend you sit outside

    1/2 Sweet chick

    An original Miami restaurant has now made its way to Covington. Serving southern inspired dishes, this new restaurant will sure be a favorite brunch spot for many. It is located along the river next to the Hilton hotel. Parking can be found across the restaurant which costs $2 (0-1 hr); $5 (1-2 hrs). Upon entering the host stand, you will be greeted and be asked if you've made a reservation. No reservation is required to dine-in. We were sat next to the window, which offered a view of their outdoor patio sitting. Not sure if pets are allowed on the patio - it would be nice. Menu entrees were a bit short, but offer delicious options. We ordered: Mumbo wings, 1/2 Sweet Chick, Fries, Cheesey Grits. All came in black plates, which emphasized the food's colors and made it look aesthetically delicious. Mumbo wings (6) - Great flavor, but lacking the crispness to the wings. We asked for some ranch on the side. Restaurant has balsamic, ketchup and ranch. No blue cheese. Cheesey grits - I really enjoyed the flavor. I'm huge on grits and this was pretty good. It had that nice cheddar flavor to it. Fries - Thin fries seasoned with salt. Can't mess this one up. It was paired with ketchup. 1/2 Sweet Chick - You can either order a 1/2 serving or full. We went with the 1/2 and it was plentiful. It came with the fried chicken on top of 2 servings of French toast glazed with maple syrup and a touch of powdered sugar. It was complimented with blueberries and slices of strawberries on the side. Food was tasteful. Chicken had a nice crunch and well seasoned. Ask for extra maple syrup on the side if needed. FYI. Regardless of how big your party is there will be a mandatory 20% tip added to your bill. We were a party of 2. Thought this was strange since I eat brunch at other restaurants in Covington that allow flexible gratuity. Overall, I appreciated our first experience. I would recommend this place to open earlier to cater to those workers who enjoy a nice brunch after night shift.

    Oreo pancakes
    Michael M.

    Took my daughter here for a daddy daughter brunch and it was perfect! We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation and the staff was super nice and helped get us in early. The food was delicious, the French Toast bites are the best thing ever. My daughter loved her pancakes...and so did I. Haha looked too good not to steal a few bites :)

    Oxtail and grits
    Deonna E.

    The vibe at HU is upbeat. They had a live dj, photo ops, and a custom greeting, "Hey honey!" Our server was friendly and engaging. The menu is creative and full with unique options. I was excited to order the oxtail and grits. Unfortunately, the dish was lukewarm. Also, a member of our party's order was wrong altogether and needed to be sent back. We visited on the weekend, and these things tend to happen when restaurants are busy. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and be successful.

    She crab soup
    Erin E.

    I was going to go 3 stars because of slow food service, but they made up for it, so I'm going with 4. Went for brunch on a Saturday and made reservations on Open Table. There was no wait, but tables were full in the dining area. I liked the decor and vibe! Warning that the bar area music is loud- even at brunch (but the music is great!) . Server was very friendly. The food was pretty good. Nothing outstanding. My friends got the she crab soup and said it was very good- but would have been better hot (was just warm). It took a very long time for my eggs benny to arrive. My friends were already done with their food. I didn't complain or ask about it- I patiently waited. When it finally came- a manager brought it and apologized and they comped my meal without me asking. This was extremely nice and top notch! The eggs benny was good. Solid meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I'm in the area, I'd come again.

    deviled eggs with Barbecue chicken nuggets
    Mindy H.

    My first time experience at the new Honey Uninhibited in Covington (right next to Convention Center) was a good experience! My party had a corner booth with the vantage point of both the restaurant and the Covington street view. Note: valet parking is available in the lot across the street. The deviled eggs with Barbecue chicken nuggets appetizer was great! The flavors of the French toast with chicken and fresh fruit were delicious too! Our server was very attentive, calm, and helpful in making recommendations!

    I'm headed to eat there tomorrow, any suggestions?

    I don't think you can make a bad choice. I had the half sweet chick and fried green tomatoes. My friend enjoyed the potatoes and catfish bites and another had the seafood omelette. I think you'll enjoy any option you choose.

    i think the vibes were just okay there. i used to go here as a kid and i remember it being better,…read morebut that may just be attributed to me growing up and not reflective of the restaurant itself. we got the mozzarella sticks as a starter, and there were 7 of them and they were freaking huge. i didn't really vibe with the marinara sauce they provided, though. i also thought the sticks tasted kind of strange, but my partner really liked them. the seafood pasta was yum. i didn't really like how the shrimp in it tasted and there were lots of shrimp in that pasta. the crawfish in the pasta were bomb. i don't quite remember what my partner ordered, but i know there was salmon and shrimp and bites of crab in there. the potatoes were fireeeeee. i kept sneaking bites of it off his plate. the daiquiri was really sweet, too. not sure how much alcohol was in there, but i can't complain. i wish they had complimentary bread for the table. i was kind of sadden by this. also the hostess asked if we were celebrating any event, and we said my birthday, so i thought maybe i would get a birthday dessert, but i didnt :( that's just me being greedy tho, im not mad at the place for not giving me a free dessert or anything. it was good food, but idk if ill go back there anytime soon.

Our server, Chloe, introduced herself with a smile and provided us with a quick refresher. I knew from her energy that we were going to be in great hands for the evening. (and I was not wrong, lol) Chloe was personable, attentive, friendly, and down to earth. The service she provided us was excellent! I ordered the Swamp Thing for a cocktail. Sweet, fruity, and pretty... that green cocktail did exactly what it needed to do, lol. FIVE STARS! Now, on to the food... The Gator Bites are a MUST. I ordered the hot honey sauce on the side just to play it safe and I am glad I did, because babyyyy, that spice had no boundaries. If you're a lover of spicy things, you'll be good to order as is, lol! I also ordered the Roasted Oysters. Another MUST! The oysters had a parmesan crust with lemon garlic butter drizzled over them... They were gone in minutes! I was on the fence for my entree, but then my girl Chloe clocked that Pasta Mardi Gras and the rest is history. It was creamy, savory, and packed with flavor. I knew my girl wouldn't let me down! Our experience was excellent! I definitely recommend reservations. Pappadeaux wasn't terribly busy when we arrived, but by the time we finished up & headed out, they had a line out the door. If you're in the Cincy area, add to your foodie list! Overall, a great restaurant for a GNO, date night, or any celebration.

We stopped by after a visit to the Newtown Candy shop. We took some lobster roll kits and clam chowder home. They pride themselves on fresh seafood regularly flown in from around the world. Their pricing is double Jungle Jims and triple kroger. Can't say good or bad until we try the fresh fish. For example they have many types of Salmon from around the globe. $49.99 for Sea Bass is pricey for me. I think Halibut was $39.99 a pound and the salmon was $20-$30 a pound. They also make their own sides. The clam chowder had too many potatoes. On Friday and Saturday nights they cook a few meals out back in a small tent/room.

The wicker chairs in the section to the left of the bar as you face the bar were unusually deep and low. Over time I think we all adjusted, but sitting in them definitely felt unusual. There are other chairs throughout the restaurant. I recommend finding a table with different chairs. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very efficient. We hadn't checked on the website, but found out Thursday is oyster day, with $1 oysters and fried oysters and $1.50 for Oyster Bienville. The fried oysters were delicious. The raw oysters were good, though I had one that was gritty. We are going again in two weeks and will try the Oyster Bienville along with other assorted oysters. Two of us had the special Pan Seared Sea Bass. It came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The crisp on the top was delicious and the fish itself was delicate and moist. It did indeed melt in my mouth. The potatoes were very good, though I didn't finish all of them. The greens were good. Mark had a ribeye and is still raving about it today. He ordered the preparation version made with just salt and pepper. He also had a cup of gumbo. He said it had an amazing depth of flavor. We wrapped up with dessert. Three folks had Key Lime Pie. I opted for Karma's Opera Crème Cake. Oh my goodness, it was huge, sweet and delicious. I tried a bit of key lime and it just didn't compare. That said, those who had the Key Lime Pie loved it. Not only would we return, but we have the date already scheduled. I'm looking forward to trying something different.
