The Halyard Restaurant

"Service is fantastic, staff is very attentive and friendly. The food was great and the drinks were fantastic. Ask the bartender for recommendations, she was very good at offering drink options. Can't wait to go back next year, this will be a yearly treat for my daughter and me when she is home for the holidays."

"Firstly, I have to admit that the atmosphere here is excellent; of course, I traveled nearly three hours from the city for this. Now, let me talk about the steak at this place. I explicitly told the waiter that I wanted it cooked medium-well,but what was served to me looked like a piece of charcoal. When I brought up the issue with a staff passing by, he responded with the following: "This is medium-well as you requested. Our chef needs to sear the steak a bit longer to achieve the medium-well you want. If you want it less cooked, next time you have to order it medium so you will see the pink inside." Despite it being my wedding anniversary that day, I refrained from arguing with him because I didn't want it to affect the mood. I can't believe this meal, valued at almost $60 after tax. What I hoped for was him addressing the issue, not providing me with such a response."

"We dined here since it was close to the hotel we were staying at. The atmosphere was really nice, but I would say that was all there was to it. We tried fresh oysters in town and it was a lot better than this restaurant's at around the same price point. The lobster was the biggest disappointment. It tasted like they just dumped the whole pot in water or just steamed it, VERY bland. The seasoned butter sauce they gave along the lobster was not good and we had to ask for just regular plain butter. Corn was really sweet since it was locally produced. Service was kind of slow. The food we ordered were not cheap, but be prepared to also pay a 3% credit card processing fee."

"Everything thing here is 5 star except the food. I asked for a rare steak and got medium at best.... it was poorly seasoned and extremely chewy. The appetizer was no better.... come for the setting and leave with the need for a drive thru to satisfy your hunger."

"The Halyard is an absolute gem on the North Fork. The view is gorgeous, the ambience and decor are flawless. The main lobby and dining area are crisp, calm and serene while the piano bar has the coziest old world charm with red leather booths. The swordfish and fluke were exceptional. Great options for gluten free (GF) diners. The waitstaff was friendly. Can’t wait to come back!"
