Cozy environment with mature and bright ambiance on a warm and inviting street. Service is very good and the restaurant could benefit from offering bread and butter for the table.

The food is always great at Halcyon but sometimes the noise level won't let you think, much less talk to the person you came with. We came late this time and the noise level was a bit better.
