Halcyon

Visiting Halcyon for the first time was okay. It’s very trendy and cozy in there. The staff is really nice and attentive. When I first got there it was full but there were plenty of seats available. I had made a reservation for two. As I waited for my table, I noticed that the waitress asked a single person (customer) sitting on a two person table if he could move. I’m not sure exactly what both the waitress and customer said but the customer did move to the couch. The waitress then came over to me and told me that my table was ready. For some reason this situation was just stuck in my mind. Anyways a while later someone came to meet up with the customer that had moved to the couch. It was a little disturbing that the waitress had asked that customer to move when he was waiting for someone, just like I was waiting for my friend. Fast forward to the food, it took 30 min for my food to come to my table. A little too long for my preference.. I ordered The Old Texas Benedict which included a buttermilk biscuit, chopped brisket, black beans, poached egg, avocado, hollandaise & salsa. It came with a side of crispy potatoes. Couldn’t leaved without a pancake and an iced latte. The eggs Benedict were not my favorite. I was expecting a wow factor but I never got it. The buttermilk biscuit was very crumbly. Not good. My favorite part about this meal was the crispy potatoes, pancake and iced latte. I would love to go back and try something else. This place looks like an awesome place but the food I had wasn’t that awesome.

I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. The staff was very sociable and kind. This place has an awesome feel to it. Mood here reminds me of San Diego's scene.

After a good early dinner on Lower Greenville, we just randomly selected Halcyon to continue our evening. What a pleasant surprise! Good coffee. Good service. Even decided to participate in the trivia, which had not been our intention. Turned out to be best part of the night.

My girlfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning for brunch after a late Saturday evening on the town. The food was hot, ingredients were fresh, and everything tasted delicious. The portion sizes and prices were great, and the mimosa flight was a lot of fun to try. Sit outside and soak up some sun at this great neighborhood staple and recharge in Lower Greenville.

Fun, spacious environment inside. My friends and I enjoyed the board games. We were also there on a "movie night" which was cool. I got the chicken biscuit sandwich - totally delicious, but a bit pricey considering it's small. I'd like to come back and try the coffee drinks.
