Honey's — Restaurant in New York

Very cool ambiance and really expert bartending. Bartender was super knowledgeable about the meadmaker's process and intentions. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 is because it wasn't the kind of mead that I could see myself drinking a bottle of. It just wasn't my taste, which is of course, completely a personal opinion. I like semi-sweet meads, and none of their's really give me that. I'm definitely not an expert, but I feel if there was some imaginary line you could draw between "mead" and "honey wine," Honey's is making honey wines. The meads just reminded so much more of the experience and sensation you get with grape wines, with the key difference being of course a much larger range and diversity of flavors. I do believe this might be what the meadmaker was intending so there's definitely no deduction in points for style or execution. It is, again, just an opinion.

Since it's one of the few places in NYC that even sells mead, I think it is worth checking out. Me personally, I think I'll need to be on the lookout for something that better suits my tastes. Honey's might be the kind of place you go to when you get tired of drinking the traditional meads and want something slightly more...

The bartender asked us if we've ever had mead before and we said no. So then he took out glasses 4 for the each of us and gave us a free Mead tasting. I didn't know what to expect but needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. The Mead he gave us was dry crisp and had a variety of interesting flavors and notes. It tastes like a dry wine and has very little sweetness. The interior is very nice and there's actually a Distillery right behind the bar. Overall it was a very pleasant experience with the bartender was very...

We had the hot pot and a couple glasses of mead. First off, the mead comes in small cocktail glasses and costs $13-$14. I've been to meaderies that cost half that for more than twice the amount given. But the worst part was the hot pot. It cost $25 a person (we were 3 people) and the portion was ridiculously small. And all the items given were cheap vegetables. The starch was a sliced potato and the protein was 2 eggs for the 3 of us. We asked for another egg and were denied. The soup base was made from some of the byproduct of making mead which sounds like a great concept, but in the end I felt like I was eating scraps. This place...
