    Always lovely. Warm, unobtrusive service, low-key ambience. We can have a real conversation over delicious, unpretentious food and excellent wine.

    We very much enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Halcyon bistro. My clams on the half shell were excellent briny and served the perfect temperature. My husband‘s salad was bright and very enjoyable. I ordered the appetizer size steamed mussels with pomme frites. But the idea of putting the frites on top of the mussels so that many of them slide into the broth making them gummy and inedible is really not a good idea. It’s really the one criticism I have about the food the other night. Our server was terrific and the ambience was lovely.
