  • I used to frequent this location back when it was the Bull & Finch and have been keen to try out Halo over the past few years. The menu (http://www.halorestaurant.com/index.php?page=menu) looked enticing, if a bit pricey, but I was looking forward to it. I'd highly recommend booking a reservation, particularly on the weekend, as the restaurant was all but full when I arrived at 6:30. The decor is warm and inviting, giving it the kind of atmosphere one would enjoy spending some time sitting by the fire sipping a glass of Riesling on a fall evening. As a result, a friend and I decided to celebrate my birthday with a glass of wine and good food. Sadly, the menu that had tempted us fell a bit flat. On paper it was excellent, and while the food was very good, it was no better than what you might find more reasonably-priced at Earls or Moxies. We started with the Oysters - which were West Coast and, I'm given to understand by my Maritime friend, not as good as East Coast - which were well-priced and rather flavorful. We also ordered the saganaki (Greek-style flaming cheese), a favorite of ours that we were surprised to find on the menu. It was delicious. Touted as a "Steak, Seafood and Wine Bar", I decided to celebrate my birthday with the sirloin steak and arctic crab legs. While tasty, the crab was a bit dry, and I was surprised to find it wasn't quite as good as arctic crab I'd had at Joey's Only just a few weeks before. The steak was cooked to my instruction but hardly seasoned, and my side order of sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions amounted to $10 of less-than-exciting flavor. The We finished with the chocolate mousse - served in a wine glass - which was done perfectly, and each enjoyed a glass of White Zinfandel which, at $8/glass, was priced well, based on other places I've been. The gist of the evening was average food for above-average prices. However, because the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent - attentive, frequent and friendly - I would return in the summer months to share an appetizer and glass of wine on the beautiful upstairs patio.
