Service was impeccable, the restaurant was out of a couple of dishes so we ordered what was available. The way the dishes were described. They arrived a little different than the menu description. Minor changes such in the vegetables that were originally supposed to come with them.
HalyardsResponded 1 day ago
NathanE-- Thank you for the insightful review! We appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed account of your meal from last week. We sincerely apologize for the adjustments we made that evening and appreciate you for your patience and understanding. It will be our pleasure to serve you again (and with the proper veg choices!). Happy Holidays!

This restaurant consistently has great food and service. Excellent selection of diverse menu items and price points. We shared a cup of blue crab bisque and caesar salad. Both were perfectly prepared with great flavors. Soup was rich and salad nicely dressed. We had the shrimp and grits (lots of sweet shrimp!) and the special grouper on bed of guinoa with mixture of butternut squash, zucchini mixed in. A light sauce on top of fish with red pepper pesto. Grouper pan-sautéd perfectly. Both entrées were good sized portions. Service is personable and timely. We would like to try other restaurants in the area, but always come back to Halyards.
HalyardsResponded on November 25, 2024
Barbara-- WOW! Thank you for this insightful and glowing review. We feel like we are enjoying this delicious meal with you! Chef Dave, Sous Chef Deke, and the entire culinary team will undoubtedly appreciate the acknowledgment for their hard work and service. Each course you've described sounds like it was carefully executed and delivered to your table. Our blue crab bisque is exquisite and has been a staple of our menu since we opened! What a perfect pairing for the cooler weather. The shrimp & grits entree has become a classic favorite, and Chef Dave did a stunning job with the grouper special! We admire you for leaving such a detailed account of your meal. We thank YOU for sharing such delightful feedback. Wishing you a fantastic Thanksgiving week! Truly, thank you. See you soon!
