Disappointing Thanksgiving meal this year. Slow and spotty service, luke warm food, background music a bit loud. Last year was great. But not so much this year.

Thanksgiving dinner- cold turkey and stuffing. The cranberries were bitter, and the mashed potatoes were only lukewarm and lumpy. Hard to mess up Thanksgiving food but they sure did. Desserts were uninspired and average. The pecan pie and pumpkin pie appeared (and tasted) like they had just come from the supermarket’s dessert section. Service was disinterested and generally absent

Went on Thanksgiving for the turkey plate. Ordered pumpkin cake donuts to start. These were cold, dry and not very flavorful. The turkey plate itself was good, but somewhat cold. I just think turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and sweet potatoes should be piping hot when it comes to the table. It was lukewarm.

This was a very nice experience. We booked this online through open table. Due to our sisters flight change, we sent a message that we needed to push back our reservation by 30 minutes and we received a message almost instantly back with our new confirmation time accommodating us with no question. Had a very attentive waitress who was very knowledgable and helpful. Was a wonderful experience.

Good day, Summer Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review! I'm glad we were able to accommodate with the flight change and you had a great time. We look forward to having you back in with us soon! All the best, Local Jones Leadership Team

We grabbed a bite in the bar area for a late lunch. Although the lunch menu is limited, everything on it is excellent. The decor and comfort of the bar area was fantastic. It's a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's easy garage parking across the street as well.

They charged for refills on diet cokes in small glasses without telling us for a total of 24 dollars. That’s before tax and tip and higher than our entrees. At six dollars each, fountain refills should be free. At the very least the server should have said “would you like refills for twelve dollars?” Absurd.

Good day, Jim This is Max at Halcyon Hotel. I want to apologize for this. This was a complete error on our part. I called you yesterday and sent you a text message. Please give me a call back when you can so we can make things right. All the best, Max

I was surprised to see we were charged for extra pita for our artichoke dip ($3.00) and we asked for dinner rolls and were charged 48.00 for 4 rolls. We were a table of 5 and would have chosen another appetizer if we new extra pita was an additional charge. Food was very good but the steak frites at $48 was tough and chewy Breakfast was amazing Serving sizes overall were very generous service and wines were excellent.

Good day, Janice My name is Max and I'm part of the leadership team here at Halcon Hotel. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I have spoken to our culinary team, and we have removed the upcharge for extra pita permanently. I do apologize for this hurting your experience. We take guest feedback very seriously. I'm also sorry that your steak was not up to par. I hope this does not detour you from joining us again in the future. I look forward to having you back in with us. All the best, Max
