| - Halcyon was ridonkulous. Absolutely the best meal and best overall 'meal experience' I've had in Charlotte since I moved here from New York two years ago.
I took my partner to Sunday brunch. Started out good with ample parking (5$ but whatever!) in the deck across the street and no wait. When we arrived we were welcomed by the friendly hosts and seated immediately at a very comfortable table. And gosh, the ambiance of this place! So many lovely details - the cutlery, the huge windows and all the light they let in, the nest chandeliers, etc etc.
Our server, Kyle, was excellent - so friendly, gracious, and knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients.
I had shrimp in dashi broth with kimchi rice grits - butterbeans, brussels sprouts... with dashi and kimchi?! Ridiculous! But soooo good! The wife had eggs benedict with lamb sausage. We also indulged in tea cakes and a cheese plate, both spectacular. The makers cocktail with bacon also blew our minds. Finally, we had the chocolate spongecake with raspberry and chocolate ganache to share - sounds ordinary but it was out of this world! I am dying to go back to try the grits bowl and the beet and goat cheesecake!
Can't wait to return to this gem.
