We were looking for a place to eat before a concert at Carnegie Music Hall a few blocks away and came across Honest John's. We just made Happy Hour which was $2 off draft beer.
We started with the Frites for an app. They were good, I'm a fan of thicker cut fries but the seasonings were good and the dipping sauce went well with it. I had the mussels for my entree, even though it is listed as a starter it was more than enough. The broth was insanely good and I could eat it like soup. My fiance got the burger which he ate faster than I ate 3 mussels. Our waitress was great too, very attentive and wasn't annoyed by my questions about the menu.
The only downfalls for me was it seemed a bit overpriced and the location is still not the best, even with several new spots opening up near by. We were followed right when we stepped out of the restaurant by someone who wouldn't accept that we didn't have cash on us. He didn't leave us alone until we entered Voodoo a block away. I think it will get better over time and I hope this place can stick it out.
