   Halston is a culinary treasure that excels in both sushi and steaks. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by General Manager Paul, whose passion for the restaurant was evident. The sushi was a standout, featuring fresh ingredients and exquisite flavors that truly impressed. Equally remarkable were the steaks—cooked to perfection and bursting with rich, savory tastes. Our waiter, Ricardo, provided attentive service, ensuring our experience was seamless and enjoyable. To top it all off, we were treated to a complementary dessert wine that paired beautifully with our meal. For those seeking a memorable dining experience with delicious sushi and steak, Halston is a must-visit!

   The food was fantastic. We started with sushi, which was super fresh and full of flavor. Each piece was really well made and a great start to our meal. For the main dish, we shared the Porterhouse steak for two, and it was incredible. It was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and just right in flavor. It was definitely the best part of the night! The atmosphere at Halston was also great. It was lively and fun, with music that made us want to dance. It really added to our dining experience. I also want to mention the staff; they were very friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. Their service was excellent and made our time there even better. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, a fun vibe, and great service, Halston is the place to go! I can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing dishes.

   We had a wonderful time at the Halston tonight. Our server Kat was excellent. She went above and beyond to make our daughter’s birthday special. We will be coming back and asking for her!

   We dined here on a busy night but were seated right away in a comfortable booth. While the atmosphere was pleasant, the service was noticeably slow. The waitstaff appeared to be short-staffed, and we had to repeatedly make eye contact to get our server’s attention. The drinks were enjoyable, and some of the appetizers stood out—the spicy tuna rice and Fire Island sushi roll were fresh and well-prepared. However, the entrées were disappointing. The shrimp scampi, in particular, was inedible due to an overwhelming iodine taste, which should have been caught before the dish was even served. Interestingly, the shrimp used in the sushi was fresh, making the contrast even more confusing. Our server did call over the manager, who acknowledged the issue and offered a replacement dish, but I declined. He simply had me remove the shrimp from the dish and stated, “It’s a busy night,” which is not an acceptable excuse for serving poor-quality seafood. While he assured us he would “take care of us,” the scampi remained on the bill despite being inedible. We were offered a complimentary dessert platter, which was very good, and two espresso martinis though they were nothing special, and we left them on the table. Instead of comping the $36 shrimp dish, the restaurant applied a $49 manager’s promo for the dessert and martinis, which felt more like a strategic move than genuine hospitality. Ultimately, for one of the most expensive meals we’ve had, the experience was not worth it. Between the service issues and the poorly handled food quality concern, I would not recommend this restaurant. There are far better options elsewhere.
