Dinner was amazing. We were seated very quickly, I had made a reservation, and asked for a quite table for a romantic dinner. We were seated in the back far away from the bar, which was perfect. Service was impeccable, Derrick our waiter was helpful and well informed about the food and drinks and helped us pick the perfect combination for our meal. My spouse was impressed with the mocktail list and with Derricks help made a few delicious selections. Not only were the cocktails great the meal fantastic (I had the filet and my spouse had the Bronzino), we were both very happy with our meals. John checked on us a several times throughout the evening and ensured we were well taken care of. I would highly recommend giving The Halston a try. We plan to return.
