We grabbed a bite in the bar area for a late lunch. Although the lunch menu is limited, everything on it is excellent. The decor and comfort of the bar area was fantastic. It's a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's easy garage parking across the street as well.

They charged for refills on diet cokes in small glasses without telling us for a total of 24 dollars. That’s before tax and tip and higher than our entrees. At six dollars each, fountain refills should be free. At the very least the server should have said “would you like refills for twelve dollars?” Absurd.

Good day, Jim This is Max at Halcyon Hotel. I want to apologize for this. This was a complete error on our part. I called you yesterday and sent you a text message. Please give me a call back when you can so we can make things right. All the best, Max

I was surprised to see we were charged for extra pita for our artichoke dip ($3.00) and we asked for dinner rolls and were charged 48.00 for 4 rolls. We were a table of 5 and would have chosen another appetizer if we new extra pita was an additional charge. Food was very good but the steak frites at $48 was tough and chewy Breakfast was amazing Serving sizes overall were very generous service and wines were excellent.

Good day, Janice My name is Max and I'm part of the leadership team here at Halcon Hotel. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I have spoken to our culinary team, and we have removed the upcharge for extra pita permanently. I do apologize for this hurting your experience. We take guest feedback very seriously. I'm also sorry that your steak was not up to par. I hope this does not detour you from joining us again in the future. I look forward to having you back in with us. All the best, Max

Lovely space, easy to get into. Food wasn’t too salty or sweet which is such a nice change. We shared a cinnamon bun based on the recommendation of our server. Perfect start to the meal. Benedict was yummy and a big enough serving to share. Avocado toast was not my fave… a little like guac+ avo slices on thick un toasty bread. I prefer a little crunch and a salty egg on top of avo not guac. Ambiance is nice though kinda dead for a Sunday morning. Liked the DJ!
