We went for an early dinner 4pm reservation on Valentines Day. My wife and I had the Spellbinder drink, the hibiscus was aromatic and it was one of the best and strongest margarita I’ve had in a while. We also tried their Colossal Crab Cocktail from the raw bar. Then we had the Collosal Crab Cake from the starters. And for the main course we had the Lobster Spaghetti (a whole Maine lobster) and the Scallops. The experience was lovely and the food was delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.

Yes the service was excellent. The food was not good this time. I ordered a Caesar salad and I got the ends / bad parts of the lettuce and it had no croutons. The fish tacos were not as tasty this time either.The brunch drinks were great.

Food was excellent and love the environment. This was our second time in the restaurant and this time in the first floor. It was noisy due to the bar.

It’s been years since I have been to Halcyon and it’ll be years before I get back. While the service was excellent, the food was just ok and the noise level made it virtually impossible to have a conversation at our table. The best thing about eating out with friends is the conversation so even if the food is acceptable (barely), the sound level made it a definite “no.”
