“ I’ve had many tasting menus over the years at several Michelin restaurants. The meal we had at honeysuckle rose was among the best I’ve ever had. The courses are pretty traditional and not too adventurous which was nice since every dish is a classic paring (beef with mushrooms, duck with plums, etc). They know what they are doing and do it well. Each course is only 4-5 bites but at the end you are full without being stuffed. I thought the portions and courses were paced perfectly. I can think of some of the best dishes I’ve had in my life and the A5 Wagyu course with mushrooms would be easily be top 5. The overall meal would rank above some 2 star Michelin meals I’ve had. The vibes were excellent but I would recommend sitting at a table and not the chefs counter. At the counter it feels like everything is happening behind you and the other couple there was unpleasant to say the least. The servers and hostesses went out of their way to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible and got us moved to a table. The wines were very good and I’m not usually a white wine drinker. The pours are enough to make you feel good but you won’t be leaving feeling over served. They really ensure that goes well. If I had to nitpick anything it would be that some of the pairings felt slightly disjointed. While I enjoyed all the wines on their own I didn’t think the courses and wines always highlighted each other. Other reviews mentioned how the evening really feels like a dinner party and I agree. The tables around us were very social and great to talk to and it was nice to celebrate with the other diners who had come to restaurant to commemorate a special occasion. ”
“ Everything about this experience was 5 star from the environment, to the staff, to the food and wine, to the play list. We wanted a unique dining experience and walked away feeling it was one of the top 3 meals of our lives, and we have traveled extensively and dined at several Michelin restaurants. The wine pairings were spot on and perfectly enhanced the food courses. I would have a hard time picking my favorite course! Each was fantastic quality served with grace and pride from a top notch group of folks who seemed to love being there. They called a few days ahead to give over any allergy or requests. All together a superb experience! ”
“ The hype is real. My wife and I went here during our Charleston vacation, and it was fantastic. We did the tasting menu with wine (and non-alcoholic if need be) pairings. The portions were about what you'd expect for a tasting menu, and every course was phenomenal. They took some risks and nailed them, and the whole food experience was fun. Each course and wine pairing had its own story. Music played while we ate. The place is small and intimate—perfect for couples, but they have a few tables for 4 as well. The staff was excellent. We loved our Charleston trip, and if we come back, Honeysuckle Rose will definitely be at the top of our list. ”
“ So my wife surprised me with this experience for my 50th birthday on December 19th. I have always wanted to experience a chef’s menu dining like this. And the wine pairings with each coarse was amazing as well. I have to say I was blown away by this experience. I was not sure how I was gonna feel with the tables so close, but we met an amazing couple from Miami Florida and it was a wonderful night. Would absolutely do this again!!! ”
“ I was in Charleston for a work trip and have been to many of the “best” restaurants there. I was looking for something similar and found Honeysuckle Rose through a quick google search. I’ve eaten at many Michelin restaurants around the country and love fine dining; and this was absolutely one of the best prix fixe menus I’ve had. The food was outstanding, the wine pairings were just perfect, and the atmosphere was FUN. I think the duck dish by a chef River was one of the best plates I’ve EVER eaten. I’m still thinking about it, and he said he just came up with it a few nights ago!! They rotate a dish or two out every few days, and the chef just seems excited about his menu. He is extremely talented. The maitre’d also was so personable and friendly, and kept our glasses filled with incredible and unique wines. I sat at the chef’s counter so I was able to see the preparation. I’ve never seen people smiling and interacting like they are enjoying what they are doing as much as I have here. You can tell the owners truly value the expertise of each individual, down to the dish washer. We were introduced to each employee and heard about how integral their roles were. The owners were just beaming describing how they came up with the idea. It was truly an experience I’ll never forget. I even stuck around after the meal and had another glass of wine with the owner herself, who was interested to hear how I had heard about them. Truly unforgettable. ”
“ Superb. We celebrated new years. What an experience. The wine pairings were decadent. The staff was the best I’ve ever seen. The chefs blew it out of the water. I wish we lived in Charleston to be able to return often. Great experience! ”
“ My husband and I loved every minute of our three-hour tasting experience at Honeysuckle Rose! I got him this dinner as a birthday present, and it was the perfect experience gift. The setting was intimate and lively, the service was impeccable, and the food... simply amazing! We have done some tasting menus before (including a similar experience in France), and this was by far the best food we have ever been served. If you're considering whether it's worthwhile, do not hesitate to book. We are moving out of the area but will look forward to visiting Honeysuckle Rose again when we visit Charleston! A big thank you to the entire team, especially our MC/Sommelier Shane and Chef River for a simply unforgettable evening. ”
“ We had the most amazing experience! Such a fun house- party atmosphere with an incredible host and chef! We were there for our annual girls' trip and we had the best time engaging with other patrons, staff and enjoying the amazing food and wine pairings. Highly recommend! ”
