We really enjoyed our dinner. The staff was extremely attentive and the ambience was just great. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed everything we had. In particular the Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had anywhere; the dressing was light and tasty with just the appropriate amount of dressing. The lettuce was crisp and fresh and I was really quite impressed with this. I’ve been to many restaurants but the exceptional preparation of the Caesar salad and the ingredients were truly worth mentioning. The pasta dish was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and the flavors were subtle but quite impressive and enjoyable. The chocolate chip cookies were really excellent and a great finale to the meal.

We made reservations and were seated in the bar/booth area. We did not get service and had to go to the bar to ask to get a server to order food while we watched multiple other tables order and receive their food. Once we did get the food it was sub par and it really seemed as if we were lucky to be there (however, it was not busy).

Good day, Laura My name is Max and I'm part of the leadership team here at Halcyon Hotel. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I apologize for the lack of attention you received during your time with us. I'm sorry to see the food and service were underwhelming. There's no excuse for this. I'd love to connect with you to further understand the details of your experience in hopes that we can make this right with you. I'll reach out privately. All the best, Max

The restaurant was prepped for Valentine’s Day and balloons kept falling down from the ceiling. Kind of annoying. Food is Very Expensive for what you get. 3 of us one person had soup, one has a dinner salad and tar tar and one special. Final bill with tip was $200. I will just have breakfast in the future

I had a delightful business lunch at Local Jones. The greek salad is highly recommended. Our server paid attention to our table well, even if he was a bit awkward about things like interrupting our conversation.
