Halo Restaurant / Bar / Lounge Reviews

Great food and excellent service! Not sure about the reviews on here talking about bad food and service my wife and I go here for all of our special occasions and it has always been a great experience.

Excellent food and service. It's expensive but the views and the food make it worthwhile to try. They don't have a separate vegan and gluten free dish but they were happy to get the chef to create something and they didn't disappoint. It really was a fantastic meal.

Was very disappointed as each meal came out.
My husband's main was stone cold and his rib eye was cut into bits not sure if it was rib eye?
Fish meal had a taste that made me sick and dessert was not enjoyable most probably due to the bad main. Won't return or recommend.

This review is for the lunch/ brunch sitting.

More a cafe experience, as opposed to the fine dining experience.

WE. LOVE. HALO!

Not only for the interesting menu options.

Not only for the finest level of attentive wait staff.

Not only for the world class, salubrious over the water setting.

But ALSO because they now allow dogs!!!!!!

YUSSSS........

Be sure not to walk in the front, hotel reception area, with your pooch. Ask first, and they will show you the side entry to bring them through

I sent an email about the front of house service on 24-11-19 but have never received any contact hence now my review. We were kept waiting before being seated. Even though a barman saw us. One of our party ordered whiskey on the rocks accompanied by water. The whiskey arrived in a tall glass with the water in a small glass. We had to ask them to take away our empty glasses. Both food & drink orders took a long time to arrive even though there were only around 10 other people. The food & view were excellent & that is why I have given 2 stars.

My wife and I and our son dined to celebrate my wife s birthday. Entree s were fine. The mains were not. My main was described as snapper on a prawn risotto with Scallops and spicy pickled carrot. I was served Salmon because they had run out of Snapper but didn t have the decency to tell me and give me the option of ordering something else. The carrot was raw and not pickled or spicy. My wife s steak was ordered to be rare - it was blue. My sons steak was ordered to be medium - it was well done. I am really disappointed - a night spoiled - the restaurant offered no real apology.

food is average. Kids mac and cheese was made with penne pasta and very little cheese so my son was not at all impressed. Staff are very friendly and the location is nice.

Had my daughters baby shower here today. At first we were disappointed that we were not sitting where we were originally shown, which was on the lower floor with the water view. However , the service and food were amazing, right down to amazing platters for the gluten intolerant guests, and the separate plate for my pregnant daughter. Although we thought of the guests, we forgot to ask for special food for my daughter. This extra forethought was something to be applauded. The reason for the four stars was because we didn t get the view we expected, although we still had a view, and it may have even worked better than the original spot, as we were a little separate from other diners. Well done Halo, you impressed a lot of people today - keep up the good work

For a fine dining establishment there was a table next to us wearing sweatpants and a puffer jacket and 2 kids yet I thought I was under dressed in a tidy shirt and ironed pants.

The food however was very good and came at a decent pace but the drinks were rather slow to be served even if they were cocktails. Great servers and a very clean and tidy dining room
