We were looking forward to trying out Honey & Salt. We live down the street and have friends who know the owners who have said it is a great new spot. We arrived at 6 p.m. and there were about 1/3 of the tables empty. We asked if we could have a table for 4 for dessert and drinks and they said they would not seat us if we would not be eating a full dinner. The owner said if we came at 5 they "might" have seated us. Out of principle, we won't be coming back to this restaurant. As nice as it looks, the service was rude, disappointing and gave the impression that they are snooty and want only a certain type of customer. They must have enough business as a new restaurant to be turning people away when they have empty tables.
