A must-visit in Russell! After a day at the beach, my wife, our friend, our two kids (9 and 5), and I stopped by Hone’s Garden, and it was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza, a gluten-free pizza, and the garlic herb pizza bread with added mozzarella—all were delicious. The salads (Greek, Caprese, and pear) were fresh and flavorful, and the dozen oysters, served simply with a wedge of lemon, were fantastic. The drink options were equally impressive—a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a microbrew rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was excellent—the staff were attentive, answered all our questions, and went out of their way to address our friend's gluten-free concerns. Hone’s Garden is the perfect blend of great food, drinks, and friendly service in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be coming back, and it’s a must-stop if you’re in Russell!

We stopped in for lunch and had the Italian Long Lunch, 3 courses. It was delightful. The server was friendly and attentive, I asked to be accommodated as a celiac - and oh my gosh- yum. Highly recommend.
