Very challenging reading the menu even with glasses on and the candle right on top of the menu. Crispy calamari was more breading than calamari. Grilled octopus is not tentacles, rather, diced small pieces of octopus with excessive dollops of sauce. Tuna was fabulous last. Crab cake very tasty. Overall disappointing b/c we love grilled octopus & huge fan of calamari.

Cozy environment with mature and bright ambiance on a warm and inviting street. Service is very good and the restaurant could benefit from offering bread and butter for the table.

The food is always great at Halcyon but sometimes the noise level won't let you think, much less talk to the person you came with. We came late this time and the noise level was a bit better.
