    Milk and Honeu was an awesome experience. We were visiting Alexandria from out of town and the menu looked awesome so we gave it a try. Everyone was so welcoming. The food was super fast and so so yummy! We had the blackened salmon and grits, gumbo, spring salad and biscuits. We recommend and would give it 10 stars if we could!
