My husband & I love sitting at the bar at Halyard’s for a martini and a good meal. Last night I ordered the chopped wedge salad and a bowl of the crab soup, which is hard to get and is always delicious here. Classic low-country “she-crab” soup. Adding sherry as the menu provides, is a must.

Our service was excellent. The food was very average. The past couple times we have eaten there, we have felt like the food has declined

Hello John, Thank you for constructively letting us know that you feel that the food has declined. I will work diligently with the crew to improve the quality of the food coming out of our kitchen. Chef Dave

Service was impeccable, the restaurant was out of a couple of dishes so we ordered what was available. The way the dishes were described. They arrived a little different than the menu description. Minor changes such in the vegetables that were originally supposed to come with them.
HalyardsResponded on 17 December 2024
NathanE-- Thank you for the insightful review! We appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed account of your meal from last week. We sincerely apologize for the adjustments we made that evening and appreciate you for your patience and understanding. It will be our pleasure to serve you again (and with the proper veg choices!). Happy Holidays!
