    Japanese tuna was very small & only plain rice as side. "Worst meal ever at Halyards", although we love the restaurant. Monkfish was dry, bacon wrapping no help. Good salads. Great service.

    Average place. The owner tries to use local seafood and greet. The chef then tries too had and comes off a bit pretentious. Probably won’t go back.

    I have been to Halyards dozens of time. This may have been the last. Portion sizes are ridiculously small ($12 for 4 spoonfuls of soup?), food not creative, terrible disappointment. I rarely leave a restaurant hungry.

    I am vegan so it's tricky, but my meal was overly sweet and sauce drenched without much protein. Some edemame, tofu, beans, or lentils, even quinoa would give protein to an all veggie meal. I think more and more people are looking for a more plant based meal, so I'm hoping this is helpful. We still love Halyards! My friends loved their meals!

    We were seated in a dingy, dull outdoor patio enclosed by plastic sheeting that was dirty and scratched. I made this reservation 2 weeks or more in advance and should have been seated inside in a nicer area. The “ outside “ seating should have been reserved for last minute reservations. It’s too bad we were left with such a negative feeling about an otherwise excellent restaurant

    Very disappointing. From mishandled reservation to seating but perhaps worst was service. Beyond indifferent. Said, when asked, that my burger was badly overcooked. Server ran away, no comment, and I thought that he dashed into the kitchen to order a replacement. Nope. Nothing. No replacement, no accommodation at all. Starter was heavily salted. Full charge for a rather poor experience. So bad, it wasn’t just a server having a bad night but rather a formerly terrific place that needs to take a serious look at what they’re doing now.

    Menus needs to change. Sauces are so rich you overwhelm the main course. Less sauce please. Service excellence. Drinks fabulous but sauces overwhelming take away the flavor of the dish.

    Excellent menu—varied and interesting choices, very well prepared. Special favorites are the blue crab bisque, mussels, tuna tartare, tile fish, grilled salmon, grits, roasted Brussels sprouts and apple galette (tart). I have gone to Halyards for at least 14 years, every time we come to St Simons. My only complaint or suggestion is that the ceiling lighting in the main dining room is a bit harsh or strong , possibly due to LED bulbs. Some lower level, warm lighting would improve the atmosphere. Otherwise, the dining area is nice. For 2 people, the bar has good atmosphere. P

    Halyards is always an excellent experience with fantastic service and beautifully prepared platings for every appetite. I love their small plates and appetizers so much that I often find myself with a smorgasbord of delights rather than just picking one entree. Don’t miss their fresh catch entrees and apps. You know it’s a good working environment because so many of the staff have been there for as long as I can remember and always greet me by name.
