Thank you Kevin for all the extra love! As new parents, traveling to new restaurants can be tricky that we don't know the layout or vibe for yet. But heading to Honor Kitchen & Cocktails, we had a beautiful table that was indoor/outdoors on a gorgeous evening. After checking in and putting our name down, we sat by the outdoor fireplaces and ordered drinks. I had the Kissed by a Rose (mezcal based), and it was such a beautiful cocktail surrounded by beautiful company. After one round, we were seated and ordered Brussels and the Little Gem & Radicchio Caesar. Both equally solid. Brussels were crisp and packed with flavor, and the addition of farro in the Caesar made it a sure fire win in my book. I ordered another delicious mezcal-based drink, Smoke & Honey, and the Fried Chicken Sando with onion rings (my hubby did the Yard Birds which is carried over from their OG menu..buttermilk fried chicken and the fixings including mac salad, cheddar cheese biscuits, hot honey sauce, chive butter). We came during one of the first weeks they opened and I know they mentioned improvements were being made as they were getting more settled in. The sando was juicy, but unfortunately the flaky bun fell apart in my hands. The sweet onions got a bit lost in the breading of the fried rings, but I've never met an onion ring I truly didn't enjoy. My husband enjoyed his dish, but mentioned the biscuits could have used a bit more time cookin'. I look forward to coming back soon to continue to try more items from the menu like their selection of pizzas, lobster mac, cauliflower, burger, and lobster roll. I think it might have just been an off night for the entrees, because drinks and apps were such delight. I love the beautiful renovations they've done to both the interior/exterior, and I'm so excited they've brought such a vibrant energy and life back to Emeryville. And how can I not forget..the lounge area! A separate door leads you to this special room where kids are not allowed :) So looking forward to date night and enjoying music, drinks, nibbles in the lounge on a future night!

This place was cute, spacious indoor and outdoor patio. Patio has firepits, which is nice in the evening and for chilly winter days. The food was good. We had a few appetizers - fries and brussel sprouts. Then shared a couple mains. It was yummy. Service was also very good. Overall a good experience. I

We met for a work dinner and a party of 8. Everything was great from the second we stepped in to the second we left. Services was phenomenal. Food was all yummy. Would definitely go back.

Top Emeryville neighborhood spot returns after extensive renovation and remodel! The indoor/outdoor design expands the space with a beautiful new dining room, expanded menu that includes old favorites and cool bar. The original in space is updated as well with a new stage in the corner featuring live music. The murals in and out the space are inviting and lively. The friendly service is back, too. This place is great. I missed it and I'm glad it's back.

(Aug. 2024) Ah, the 'ol Honor Kitchen in Emeryville. Been in the area my whole life and was sad to see it close. But now it's re-opened! And it's lovely! The new pizza oven is making some great pizzas and the menu selection is perfect. Also the beer and cocktails were great too. The restrooms is only 4 stalls with a large changing stall, but it's super clean and each stall has complete privacy (all-gendered). Will definitely return!
