| - This review is strictly regarding brunch - I've not ever dined at Honey Salt for dinner.
This was also my 1st time at the restaurant and I really didn't know what to expect. I met a friend for brunch on a Sunday morning. She was seated first, since she was a bit early, and I arrived shortly after. We we were seated on the side of the restaurant, away from the main dining room. I found this strange, but my friend mentioned that it was very hot in the restaurant when she walked in, and the hostess recommended sitting over there because it was cooler (I didn't notice the heat).
First of all, I love the decor and vibe of this place. It's very "shabby chic." There are lots of little knick knacks displayed throughout the restaurant and cute art on the walls.
The tables are very close to each other. Luckily, there was nobody seated next to us, so this wasn't an issue. But I could see it being awkward if it were a busy night.
I was torn between ordering the bottomless mimosas ($20) or the "create your own" bloody marys ($22). Once I decided on the bloodys, the server actually talked me out of it - saying that they were much smaller than just ordering them individually, and I would have to do all the work (obviously). I wish I would've just ordered this, but our server convinced me that the bartender makes an awesome bloddy mary (I am very picky about them). I ended up disappointed. There was just something "off" about the drink - it had very little flavor, and although I asked for it to be spicy and also made with horseradish, it wasn't spicy enough and I had the server bring me extra horseradish. Maybe because it was fresh horseradish? I don't know. For my 2nd drink, I ordered the blood orange mimosa, which was very good.
For food, we started out with the monkey bread. It was a large portion, definitely enough to share ($9). We didn't come close to eating it all! I am not really a sweets person, so I only had a couple of bites.
I was set on ordering the weekend frittata, but my friend changed her mind at the last minute and also decided to order it. So I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict ($22). This was absolutely delicious! There were 2 house made crab cakes, topped with asparagus, 2 poached eggs and hollandaise. I tasted the frittata and it was also really good! It was much larger than expected and had tons of flavor. She chose to pay $2 extra and add chicken, which I probably wouldn't have done.
We splurged and had dessert (YOLO, right?!). We shared the Triple Strawberry Shortcake. It looked more like a large biscuit, halved and filled with strawberries and whipped cream. It also had a small scoop of strawberry ice cream on the side. Not sure I would order it again, but as I mentioned I am not a huge sweets eater.
Our server was friendly and helpful. She had a fun, upbeat attitude which is always a plus. Brunch was good, but there was nothing that wowed me so much that I would drive to the other side of town for. But I am definitely glad to check another bookmark off my never ending list!
