We made reservations and were seated in the bar/booth area. We did not get service and had to go to the bar to ask to get a server to order food while we watched multiple other tables order and receive their food. Once we did get the food it was sub par and it really seemed as if we were lucky to be there (however, it was not busy).

Good day, Laura My name is Max and I'm part of the leadership team here at Halcyon Hotel. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I apologize for the lack of attention you received during your time with us. I'm sorry to see the food and service were underwhelming. There's no excuse for this. I'd love to connect with you to further understand the details of your experience in hopes that we can make this right with you. I'll reach out privately. All the best, Max

The restaurant was prepped for Valentine’s Day and balloons kept falling down from the ceiling. Kind of annoying. Food is Very Expensive for what you get. 3 of us one person had soup, one has a dinner salad and tar tar and one special. Final bill with tip was $200. I will just have breakfast in the future

I had a delightful business lunch at Local Jones. The greek salad is highly recommended. Our server paid attention to our table well, even if he was a bit awkward about things like interrupting our conversation.

We brunched as a group looking to catch up. The noise level from live music & recorded music was much too loud. This was our 2nd time at Local Jones. We did a late afternoon business lunch where the noise level wasn’t a factor. Why they don’t better manage the noise level for Brunch is a mystery.
