| - Wow, my experience at Halcyon really exceeded my expectations! After a visit to the Bechtler Museum on Friday, we decided to pop in to enjoy a late lunch. The decor is awesome - earthy but upscale and the atmosphere is nice, but not overly stuffy or pretentious.
Our server started us out with water and a flavored popcorn that was savory and oddly addictive. I don't remember what the spices were, but the flavor reminded me of some sort of curry. Yum.
I ordered the Poultry Junction Chicken (roasted chicken that was served on grit rice risotto w/ seasonal succotash & malabar spinach - $14) and my dining companion ordered the Duck Confit (on focaccia w/ cranberry marmalade, pomegranate, greens and sweet potato crisps - $14). Both dishes were beautiful and absolutely delightful!
After our entrees, we decided we needed a little pick-me-up, so we both ordered cappuccinos (I think these were around $6). They were served in enormous cups and were delightful. Then, we splurged and ordered a hazelnut yule log dessert with a cherry root beer sorbet to share (around $8)... it was delish!
The food was great, the service was great, and you can't beat the beautiful view. I will definitely be back!
