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!

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best experience. Bobby and Iffy were our waiters and were so kind and quick. The food was amazing, as always. The service was impeccable. We really felt cared for. I also appreciate the suggestions and help from Iffy when we were indecisive on what to order, he steered us in the right direction. Really appreciate the care and quality of service we received. Will definitely be returning!

Took the kids for the first time for a fun and different experience. Servers were friendly and informative and we had a great night! Only criticism is that the alcoholic beverages were too expensive.
