Hi,

I would say honestly is an adverbial here, informing the reader that what follows is the writer's honest opinion.

By the way, I take it grammatical function = syntactic function in this case? I wouldn't otherwise know how to explain it.

Some modern grammarians would call "honestly" an adjunct because it is not an element of the sentence that is required for a well-formed complete sentence.
