Honey Road,

"Excellent atmosphere to enjoy Mediterranean food. Beautiful presentation and delicious taste to all dishes we shared. We had halibut, steak, chicken wings, lamb, and hummus. All were wonderful. This is a must when in Burlington."

"Honey road is a must-visit restaurant. If you’ve ever eaten here it should be no surprise to you that there are multiple James Beard Award nominees in the kitchen. And unfortunately for us that means booking reservations a few weeks in advance. Fortunately for them- that means a full restaurant most days of the week. My first visit to honey road was for cocktails and whipped feta before I moved out of state. Now when I visit, it’s one of the top restaurants on my list. This evening I was sad to see that the whipped feta was off the menu, but there was still plenty to devour and delight in. We started with two dips- the muhamarra and the hot pepper labneh with winter squash and harissa. Muhamarra is one of my favorite dips and this was top notch. Labneh was not spicy and was in fact a soothing blend of squash with a dollop of infused labneh and harissa in the middle. A little warmth but nothing too hot. We split 2 pita among three people and that was perfect for these two apps. Our first mezze item was the farm greens salad, with delicata squash, cranberries and pepitas atop an herby whipped goat cheese. It was a delicious in between bite. The star of tonight’s show was the broccolini Caesar. The broccolini itself was perfectly cooked with a little bit of char, mixed with a tahini Caesar sauce/dressing, avocado, and cheese crackers. Every bite on its own was yummy but together? They soared. The earthiness of the broccolini, the creaminess of the avocado, and the sharp salt and crisp of the cheese was everything. I would go back again and again for that dish. We also got the cauliflower, which was amazing, but it came after the broccolini and truly that wasn’t a fair fight. For proteins we ordered the sweet harissa chicken wings and the lamb kafta. The chicken wings have been on the menu since the beginning and their spot there is deserved. Sweet, slightly spicy, reliably delicious. The dried lime labneh is lovely but not necessary unless you have no spice tolerance. I don’t typically eat a lot of lamb, but the herbs mixed with the meat and the pairing of apple and caramelized leeks made me a believer. For dessert, we had the brown butter pecan cake (with buttermilk raspberry ice cream and figs) which was utterly perfect. Soft spongey cake which makes a perfect vehicle for the luxurious ice cream. We also got the chocolate coffee tart, which sat upon a caramel of sorts, topped with maple labneh, and had diced pumpkin coated in your favorite seasonal spices along side it. Pumpkin has literally never tasted so good. My dining partners additionally shared a slice of baklava, which was delightfully flakey, nutty, and bound together with the perfect amount of honey. Big props to the milk & honey cocktail (a cheeky play on a bees knees with labneh and lavender) as well as the garden variety (a mezcal cocktail with ?celery? that you will definitely want to order a second of). TLDR? Book your reservation now, as the flavors move with the seasons and you don’t want to miss this fall menu."

"Great food, friendly staff and nice ambiance. Among the few dishes we had, I like the most the sweet harissa chicken wings, and seared trout. For dessert we had the basque cheesecake which was delicious."

"They bring a great service! Starting with the hostess, bartenders and waitresses. The place is very beautiful, the food was very tasty. I like a lot! Highly recommended!!"

"Arrived around 7pm on a Saturday evening without reservation and was told a 20 minute wait. We say outside waiting and people watching. The service was ok considering how busy they were. The food comes on small plates with the intention of sharing. To me the portions were too small to even consider sharing. The food is good, but the portions are too small for the priceb they charge."
