There's small-plates adventure in a small, chic room in Doylestown. Despite flaws, the future looks bright.
In their final months at the William Penn Inn, where they worked to save for their big debut, it must have been a challenge for Joe and Amy McAtee to imagine the flight of modern fancy that would become Honey.
The William Penn, in Gwynedd, is as classic as it gets - an enormous 1714 inn where the service is stodgy black-tie and the culinary high points (veal Oscar and snapper soup) are fossils from the Prime Rib-a-zoic era.

Cuisine type: Fusion
Meals Served:
Lunch - Fri., Sat.
Dinner - Mon. thru Sat.
Style:
Lit with a romantic amber glow, this stylish little contemporary eatery from first-time owners Amy and Joe McAtee gives Doylestown a taste of the small-plate trend. The fusion creations range widely, from lamb samosas to tea-glazed ribs. Some of the honey-laced ideas need polish, but this ambitious venture is off to a sweet start.
Specialties:
Lamb-lentil samosas; salmon-apple tartare; tea-glazed spare ribs; mushroom crabcakes; beef-porcini dumplings; Chicken and the Egg; meat and potatoes; salmon with fried crab noodles; scallops with purple rice; pumpkin dumplings with chocolate-cinnamon ice cream.
Alcohol:
The tiny American list should grow in size and quality, but a plush Rhone-style red from Zaca Mesa ($49) was a tasty bottle choice. The all-Pennsylvania beer list is a nice option, and there are plenty of fruity cocktails for the 'tini set.
Weekend noise:
Cushy but small, the space hit a boisterous 82 decibels. (Ideal is 75 decibels or less.)
Hours: Lunch Tuesday-Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Dinner Tuesday-Thursday, 5-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, until 10 p.m.
Prices:
$25 and up
