Halyards offers creative American cuisine-tasty local fish and local produce, plus an inventive wine and cocktail list, all served by a delightful staff. Dine at our open-seating extended bar, enjoy a cocktail or an appetizer on the breezy patio, or meet up with friends in our casual dining room. Look for Chef Dave's dog Gustavo enjoying some sun in the breezeway when you stop by.

At Halyards every item on our seasonal menu is made from scratch and served to perfection. We look forward to surpassing your expectations. Drawing on his relationships with local fishermen and farmers, Dave demonstrates to eager guests that the best ingredients make a tremendous difference in food quality, in the sustainability of the environment, and in the financial strength of the local economy.

We went on Jan 1.( Made reservations) The service, food, atmosphere and prices were beyond excellent. We brought our extended family and they also loved it. Filet mignon, fried chicken and pot stickers were delicious.. I really can't say enough about Halyards. Oh, the drinky drinks were also soooo good! Can't wait to go back.

Excellent food, Dalton was an awesome server. Thomas came over and described the difference between the Wine 39, and Inscription Pinot Noir! Relaxing outdoor seating, full of ambiance and Christmas cheer. A wonderful place for dinner! Highly recommend, 5 star experience!

Amazing!!! I wish every meal was that incredible 🤤
Service was top notch.
My wife said, “those were some of the best grits I’ve ever had”. That was coming from someone who orders a lot of grits.

Excellent Breakfast stop! We definitely want to come back for dinner with out the kids. Had the Southern Benedict and it was perfection on a plate. You can tell they put hard work into creating great food. We will be back again.
