They catered our wedding in March of 2023 and now every time we come back to the island this is our first stop for dinner! Never missed and don’t sleep on the steak stir fry!

We had not been to Halyards in many years but since it was my birthday I decided to make the reservations there. What a wonderful dinner! From the instant we got there we felt pampered. Service was great, food was amazing, probably the best steaks we have ever had! I know we will be looking for another opportunity to go back soon!

My husband & I love sitting at the bar at Halyard’s for a martini and a good meal. Last night I ordered the chopped wedge salad and a bowl of the crab soup, which is hard to get and is always delicious here. Classic low-country “she-crab” soup. Adding sherry as the menu provides, is a must.

Our service was excellent. The food was very average. The past couple times we have eaten there, we have felt like the food has declined

Hello John, Thank you for constructively letting us know that you feel that the food has declined. I will work diligently with the crew to improve the quality of the food coming out of our kitchen. Chef Dave
