| Honig Grill of Woodbury presents an audacious menu, impressive wine list, noteworthy service and an intimate atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the service. Excellent wine pairings, suggestions and friendly conversation. Our waitress, Cindy, suggested the Burrata and Basil – a delicate combination of Burrata, Tomatoes, Basil and Mesclun. Paired with Cabernet, it was nothing short of delicious. For our entrees, my guest and I sampled the Rack of Lamb and various sushi rolls. The Rack of Lamb was cooked perfectly, paired with a Mint Chutney. The lamb was complemented by Herb Roasted Potatoes and Sautéed Broccoli Rabe. The sushi rolls; The Mango (Spicy tuna, salmon, avocado roll with tuna topped with mango) & The Rutherford (Shrimp tempura & spicy tuna roll with tuna, salmon, avocado & crunch) were fresh, flavorful and showcased bold combinations of fish, fruit and various toppings. I strongly recommend you peruse the sushi menu at Honig Grill, and opt for something you wouldn't normally order. On my next visit, I am looking forward to tasting The California Heaven (Crab & avocado roll topped with kani salad, potato flour crunch & special sauce) and The Seared Tuna, consisting of Ahi tuna, thai glaze, and sautéed baby bok choy. The atmosphere at Honig Grill is intimate, warm and comfortable. Ideal for date night or a family outing, the dining room is spacious and contains numerous personalized, authentic details that make patrons feel right at home. Everything from the lighting fixtures to the rustic brick wall in the back dining area are noticed and appreciated. Honig Grill describes their eatery as embodying "a taste of Napa Valley" – a description I now understand and appreciate. Their menu consists of: appetizers, raw bar, sushi, salads, entrees, steaks & chops, and side dishes. Their wine list is impressive and is organized effectively. My guest and I opted for the house-recommended Cabernet and Pinot Noir. If you consider yourself a wine connoisseur, you will genuinely enjoy the selection that Honig Grill offers. Our meal ended with Flourless Chocolate Cake and Bread Pudding. The dessert menu at Honig Grill is extremely impressive and personally recommended. Presented in a photo-worthy manner, the desserts were truly nothing short of memorable. We indulged in an aperitif with our sweet treats, and ended the night supremely satisfied. Honig Grill has succeeded by creating an intimate, chic ambiance and a menu that thoroughly satisfies customers with savory cuisine, a diversified wine menu, hearty portions and eccentric presentation. The eatery prides itself on being "simple, relaxed and sophisticated" and they invite you to "enjoy imaginative wine and flavorful cuisine in a warm and friendly atmosphere" during your next visit. |
