Each and every night at Honeysuckle Rose is choreographed by Ryan and Kelleanne, the husband and wife team behind several award-winning restaurants along the east coast. While the duo is no stranger to owning and operating a restaurant, they have been developing this particular concept since their first restaurant--the mill at 2t-- where the tasting menus were the star of the show. Every single day, Ryan and Kelleanne sit down with the rest of the team to plan out the following evening’s experience.
