    Ultra hip setting. Fun and trendy. Order a nice cocktail, or mock tail, or bubbles, and enjoy the ambience. Definitely a fun place for brunch.

    Experienced the holiday tea on the last day it was offered as a way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our family enjoys teas. The noise level was the first thing we noticed as a DJ was located next to the host station. It didn’t suit the tea vibe. For lunch/dinner, it was ok provided you’re seated close together to hear the conversation. The restaurant decor was very nice; however, the chairs were too short and table heights were too tall for me at 5’5”. It made for an awkward feel for myself and young son. The tea menu was presented and three tea options were no longer available. As these options were the most unique, they were the ones we had most wanted to try when we checked the menu days prior. That was really disappointing. We don’t go to teas to drink run of the mill tea that can be ordered anywhere, especially at $60/person. My son has a tree nut allergy which the waiter asked about. That was nice because it’s still rare to be asked proactively. Based on my previous review of the menu, the offerings appeared to be fine for him. The waiter said he’d double check with the chef. The response came back negative for tree nuts. The waiter volunteered to nevertheless notate the allergy for our assurance. How embarrassing for the waiter when one of the first food items of the tea was a hazelnut shortbread cookie (not on the original menu). It didn’t register to him that hazelnut is a tree nut so I had to mention it. He handled the situation well by having the food replated but it was irritating that it happened at all after so much communication about the allergy. Further, there was no alternative replacement for the item. The food was tasty! Even better that we were able to request more of the savory options. The tea was mediocre. Overall, this tea experience was not worth the price. I’d rather go to Babe’s Tea for the splurge. No apologies, no comps and no recognition of the special occasion left me underwhelmed. Doubtful we’ll return for a regular meal.

    Such an incredible holiday tea service! You get a huge pot of tea for each person, and a wide variety of really interesting finger foods. Everything we had was delightful and the staff were very friendly and kind. Would highly recommend!

    First time and probably the last. From the beginning we kept being forgotten about from my drink to dietary restrictions, and the desserts taste so old, hard, and stale. There's no way they were freshly made. Not the experience expected for the price I paid at all!

    Don’t waste your time on the tea experience. You spend a lot of money per person and you barely get any food. We were never offered more food and were barely attended to. There were tables around us that came in after us and still got to leave before we did. Go to the brown palace for a better experience. The little food that we did get was good but not worth the price and amount that is given.

    Good day, Melissa 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'm sorry to see your time with us was so underwhelming. Our standards are that more food is to be offered to all tables so to hear that this was not done is disappointing. I'd love to connect with you and try to make this right. I'll reach out to you personally. All the best, Max
