Halcyon never disappoints. The set menu selections were all super delicious; deep flavors; perfect portions. The staff were friendly and they followed CDC guidelines to help all diners feel safe. What a wonderful evening we had. Felt like a little piece of normal. Thank you Halcyon. We can hardly wait until your new adventure opens up. We'll be watching for the announcement. Ron & Sherry

First time there for 5 course dinner. Too bad it's closing down. Food was bomb. Drink pairings were bomb. Ambience with greenhouses due to covid was a nice touch. I will definitely be making a reservation at the new restaurant they'll be setting up.

Ordered takeout for second time this evening. Can’t believe how great. We had fried chicken first time, gumbo and flounder tonight. Eating this quality of food at the price is rare. Please do try for yourself!!

Just had the carry out southern style rib roast and my wife had the Springers Mountian Farms Fried Chicken, OMG it was so good along with the sides plus we had leftovers! What a great dinner along with the Double Chocolate Sea Salted Cookie as desert made it perfect. What a fantastic dinner!

Located on the 2nd floor of the Mint Museum Uptown, with indoor and outdoor tables. There’s a view of the plaza in front of the Duke Energy tower. The space is airy and comfortable and even when filled you can enjoy conversation at your table. The menu offers a variety of options, including vegetarian, and features locally sourced products and local daily catch. Small but good wine selection. I had a roasted kale and farro salad with local snapper. The fish was crisply grilled and moist inside, although a little chewy on the edges. The roasted kale and farro was served with tahini dressing, Marcona almonds and raisins, resulting in a nice balance of savory and sweet flavors and a range of textures on the palette. The service was mixed: very welcoming reception, but the waiter seemed as if he would be happier in a line of work other than hospitality: unfriendly vibe and completely ignored our coffee and dessert request. Otherwise recommend if you are in Charlotte looking for fresh local fare.

Food was good service was very poor. Had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation, took a very long time to get drinks, server rarely checked in on us, brought desert out to our table and put it down that was meant for another table and took it back

The restaurant is beautiful. The food was wonderful. But the service was the real standout here. Mary took care of us and there just aren't enough words to describe how well she took care of my husband and myself. There is nothing better than really really good food and absolutely perfect service. Kudos to Halycon and Mary for making ours an exceptional dining experience, by far the best we've had in Charlotte in years. Oh and try the Apple Buckle......it's AMAZING!

We were lucky to be there mid-week on a snowy day thus very quiet. Service was good, the waiter helpful when I needed to cut out port from my choice and the resulting dish, with added veg was delicious. It's a pretty space in the same building as the gorgeous MINT craft museum and has that design esthetic. Good beer, rather pricey wine by the glass. My only suggestion for those of us who must avoid pork is to not on the menu that it can be replaced.
Imaginative menu, excellent, friendly service. Beautiful restaurant and views of downtown. A bit pricey, but excellent for a special occasion. Just across the street from Knight Theater where the Charlotte Symphony performs. Event parking in the building.

My husband and I went out for an after Valentine's Day dinner. We sat at the bar before and watched the food coming out of the kitchen...I love seeing what it looks like before I order! We enjoyed everything we ordered. The shrimp toast, the short rib, and the scallops were all delicious. The goat cheese cheesecake was amazing and was the highlight of my meal!

Very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable server. Loved all the dishes but especially the fried oysters, cheese plate, and butternut squash soup. Pineapples/basil sorbet was also as delicious as it is creative. All very reasonably priced.

We booked last second while coming back from Florida by car to make a local show. Not only did they happily accommodate our very tight schedule, the service when there to make things move quickly but still maintain the right atmosphere was amazing, and appreciated. Food, drinks and service were all excellent and we will back to experience Halcyon at a more leisurely pace in the near future. Can't say enough about the staff, really made our night!
