| - Upscale dining even during lunch. Earth tones, wood, metal, stone, large, open dining room and flood to ceiling glass windows; the space is simply blissful. Add great food and delicious wine, you have a little sanctuary here.
The service was on point; friendly, efficient, prompt and accommodating...all things that make me happy. Halcyon sits atop the extraordinary Mint Museum offering a beautiful view of the downtown Charlotte area and just a few steps away from some of the city's most amazing art forms.
I wanted to keep it light so I opted for the Spinach Salad which included goat cheese, hard boiled egg, sunflower seeds, roasted mushrooms and succulent scallops paired with Chateaumar, a French red wine silky and divine! I am highly addicted to dark chocolate and absolutely love truffles so dessert was a no brainer....an adorable truffle board garnished with fresh berries and powered sugar, also perfectly paired with a glass of Chateaumar. Needless to say I did not want to leave Halcyon. EVER. I will be on the lookout for locations in other cities. If you are on a budget bypass Halcyon, my lunch alone was $50 before gratuity.
