2 of the 3 items on my "three little pigs" lunch entree were burned. Yep, burned in the kitchen and then brought to my table and served to me in their burned inedible state.
The restaurant is right at the entrance to the Mint Museum. It's pretty, upscale, and the waitstaff is capable and professional. But when you serve me food that is burned, not much else will make any difference in my dining experience.
However, I do want to mention that, much to their credit, the worst part of the burned food was hidden from view when the food was plated. The really badly charred parts of the Glazed Heritage Pork Belly and the House-Smoked Pork Meatball were touching the plate ... so hey, out of sight out of mind.
If you're looking for creative cuisine that is burned but served up anyway, look no further. Halcyon will burn your lunch for you.
