    The service was great and the food was delicious. We did the Sunday Brunch which is a self serve with a variety of cold and hot foods from breakfast, lunch, salads, seafood, fruits, vegetables, Omelette table, and so much more. Great for the family, group of friends, or even a solo adventure. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The entire experience was wonderful and worthy of every penny spent.

    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.
