text: Charlotte wake up and get your face on this food Halcyon is amazing The service is great the resturant is beautiful but more importantly the food is passionate and inspired Everything I had was great I started with a gin drink called the seer Light refreshing and a good kick Then I got the squash blossoms as an app Light almost a tempura style batter stuffed with cheese and seved on a nice tomato chutney or salsa The waiter asked to take my plate but I shut him down I used the home made bread to sop up all the flavors from the bottom of the bowl Next I ordered a nice clean but not too fruity hefeweisen from Vancouver bc I love wheat beer and this is right up there with the best For my first course I ordered the lyonnaise salad This was a bit unsuspected in that I did not read the menu all the way through I expected some form of lettuce But once I took a bite of the light vinaigrette frisuee with the egg and chunk of bacon it was the perfect bite Lastly for my entree I ordered the lamb three ways The chop was amazing cooked perfectly and well seasoned I actually asked for salt but did not need it now the star of the show was this perfectly cooked and seasoned sausage Juicy and oozing with flavor When my wife saw my face while taking my first bite she asked me if I was having an orgasm I did I keep thinking about how amazing this was I am going to make sausage this week just to see if I can get close to what I had The only disappointment was the lamb belly Had amazing flavor but it just does not melt in your mouth like pork belly Parts of it I had to spit out Not because it tasted bad but because it was just not breaking down in my mouth If it was lamb ways it would have been flawless I am looking forward to going back to try the rabbit the chef said it was his best seller unfortunately I was too chicken to order it But after this meal I am sure it will be amazing Thanks chef soft bringing this to Charlotte
