Restaurants near The Denny House

The best steak I ever had. I can't stand my steak to be pink in the middle. I've never had a well done. Juicy flavorful steak and that's what I had tonight. Our service was impeccable, parking $10 valet, quiet atmosphere inside the restaurant, and top 10 Mac and cheese in the country! The Louis Vuitton cake was a bougie bonus for me!

I have had the pleasure of dining at Honeysuckle on multiple occasions, and I can honestly say I have never been disappointed. Last night was no exception. We enjoyed the truffle fries (omg), shrimp and grits (perfection), which is the special for the week, and a salad with whipped ricotta that was truly a work of art. The strawberry tiramisu was made in house and was simply delightful. The flavor profiles in everything I’ve eaten there are nothing short of culinary wizardry at its finest. Kudos to this fine establishment for knowing what good food is all about.

Our party of 4 dined in a large booth adjacent to the bar. I expected it to be noisy but was pleasantly impressed with our ability to carry on a conversation. Our table service was top notch for this type of restaurant although the drinks were increasingly slow from the bar as the evening drew on. Our server was attentive but not pushy as we lingered over dinner. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and practically scraped the plate, it was so good. Three of us ordered the steak frites which was perfect! Small enough not to overwhelm our stomachs but flavorful and filling. The fourth person ordered the hot bacon salad which was a good portion for dinner and fresh and flavorful. We did not order dessert because we were well satisfied. Overall I started off skeptical and was impressed enough that we will return.

Absolutely fantastic meal and drinks! My only complaint was that we were seated at a table next to the open air window, and the loud motorcycles periodically made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise, a great experience, wonderful service, and a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

Boone Tavern is always a lovely and beautiful experience. Our hostesses and servers were knowledgeable, friendly and polite. We enjoyed the traditional "chicken flakes" and the Cajun chicken which were both absolutely delicious. We appreciate everything that Berea College and Boone Tavern does for their students!
