A lovely experience tonight, dinner for 3. Service was attentive and our waitress was kind and patient. We started with round of drinks, then ordered zucchini fries, which came with marinara sauce, as a starter. A good appetizer, the thee of us enjoyed until the plate was empty ;) For dinner we ordered the roasted short rib, pasta primavera and chicken paillard. Everyone was very pleased with their choices, no complaints! Thank you for an enjoyable evening. See you next time!

It was the busy albeit maybe a bit too noisy atmosphere we were looking for. The service was attentive, maybe a bit too much as they were looking to move guests quickly to turn over tables. Food delicious, drinks full of flavor and alcohol, yummy. All in all we enjoyed our visit once again.

My wife and I had an excellent meal last night at The Halston. Started with some wine from a fairly extensive but reasonably priced beverage list and proceeded to order a Tuna Sashimi appetizer followed by 2 entrees that we shared which were the prime sirloin steak and the Nova Scotia salmon. The steak came to the table sliced into about 15 slices and cooked perfect to medium rare. The salmon was broiled and came with some roasted corn. We ordered some creamed spinach as well and shared a brownie for dessert. Our server Chris was attentive but not bothersome and all in all, a great meal. We will return for another meal in the near future.
