We have dined at The Halston a few occasions and it’s always an exceptional experience! The ambiance is modern and inviting with a huge bar area. All staff is attentive and genuinely friendly. Paul and John ensured that every detail was taken care of throughout our meal. Food is delicious! We went with a large group last night and everyone loved their entire meals from the appetizers to desserts. Drinks are great as well!

Kilmer is an excellent server. He was prompt, cordial and very friendly. We were out Black Friday evening and were treated very well. The drinks and the French dip were delicious and when we requested to move from a bar area table to a booth in the main dining room, the maitre d’ accommodated us immediately. Will definitely go back soon.

We had a 2:00 reservation for Thanksgiving Day and we were a party of four. Appetizers and dinners were great! Fried Calamari was delicious and perfectly cooked and the Italian-seasoned chicken wings were throughly enjoyed. Penne a la vodka with chicken cutlet, Tedesco chicken with mashed potato and veggies, and the Thanksgiving turkey plate were all amazing. Chocolate mousse and banana pudding were delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. A perfect Thanksgiving dinner out!
