Customer review:
"My partner and I had a wonderful time at Honka's for the Cocktail Making and Feast experience. Hamilton was an awesome host and teacher for the cocktail class, and we really enjoyed making and drinking those tasty beverages. The feast was fantastic. Delicious Asian dishes, and a lot of it. So much food that we brought what we couldn't finish home. The venue was great, the staff all really friendly and hospitable. Would highly recommend and would be happy to return for another experience." - Nathan B.
