   Food was mediocre. My table had cole slaw tacos and onion rings as apps. Sushi, cod and short ribs for dinner. Apple crumb cake for desert. Service was good, not great. My old fashion was also just fair. A bit sweet. Given many other dining options, would not go back. The menus physical size is huge and no where to put it. Pet peeve of mine. All wait staff should learn when serving and clearing dishes do not lean across someone to place or remove dishes for someone else at the table. Walk around the table.

   Dined at restaurant last night - thoroughly underwhelmed. Seated at a table by the floor to ceiling windows and had to move because of the draft. While ambiance is nice and we were weren't rushed from our table, the food was poor and highly over priced. Menu is nothing I can't get at almost any other upscale restaurant - lacking authenticity. $89 for the 12oz boneless ribeye special....$27-$34 for sushi rolls, which we had. They were uninspired and taste was just ok/not super-fresh at all. Onion ring appetizer was average at best, corn/tomato/cucumber salad was just ok. PBJ dessert - meh. Wanted to really like this place, but don't think I'll be back.

   We’ve dined at this restaurant on a few occasions. In the beginning, it was excellent however, the last time we’ve gone service has been too quick. The portions have been tiny and the prices have been high.  it’s a shame because the other Scotto restaurant are excellent.

   We had the pleasure of being served by Kenny with a "C" during our recent visit to The Halston, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we were seated, Kenny welcomed us with a warm, genuine smile and immediately made us feel at ease in the stylish, buzzing atmosphere of the restaurant. What stood out most was his impeccable attention to detail. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful suggestions and providing thoughtful recommendations that elevated the meal to a whole new level. Throughout the evening, Kenny struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, giving us just the right amount of attention without ever feeling intrusive. His timing was flawless, ensuring we had everything we needed without delay, and he was always available to answer any questions we had about the dishes or ingredients. It’s clear that Kenny has a true passion for hospitality, making the dining experience feel personal, tailored, and unforgettable. It’s rare to find service that combines such expertise, warmth, and genuine care, and Kenny made this evening truly special. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your server, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommend!

    First time here since it became The Halston. Nice menu selection and the food was good as was the service. The acoustics continue to be good and allow for reasonable conversation with guests at the table.
