I met today at Halcyon for brunch with a friend. The service was fairly attentive. It is a physically appealing venue with a very nice brunch menu. We both ordered the day's special omelette with smoked salmon. The dish was beautifully prepared, though the salmon was overly salty. The guavallini cocktail was delicious. The coffee was, unfortunately, not hot. Overall, it was a pleasant brunch experience and I would come back again.

Loved our dinner, food and service was excellent. My only complaint would be the music level, it was so loud and hard to have a conversation.
