Everything about the restaurant was great! The food and ambience was very tasteful. However the restaurant noted on their policy that they validate parking and that is no longer true.

Loes was great, and the server recommended a Burbon, which was excellent. The food was very good; I had the Walleye, and my wife had the maui maui, which she enjoyed. Our original table was toward the rear of the dining room, and we asked if a table near the window was available, and they moved us. Excellent service.

This was my first time at Tupelo Honey-I was with some girlfriends for brunch. The mimosa flight is excellent and we all had a variation of their chicken and waffles. It was an exceptional and indulgent brunch for less than 40 bucks. I love it.
