Halyards Restaurant

Halyards on St. Simons has been redefining Island Cuisine for 12 popular years. The Islands unrivaled see-and-be-seen dinner spot for locals who know and for coastal visitors whove heard that the Seared Tuna with a Plum Wine Reduction and the Prime N.Y. Strip with Soy Lime Butter will make your evening. Thats not to say you should skip the Creamy Blue Crab Bisque or the nightly specials. The atmosphere is casually elegant(coozy lounge furniture in the courtyard and under the awning), the welcome warm (usually by name), the service crisp and attentive, the wine cellar vast (7 Wine Spectator Awards) and the comfortable bar hip and hopping. The menu is the brilliant handiwork of Chef/Owner Dave Snyder that changes seasonally and is bold, creative and gloriously rewarding. To be sure youre pleased, Dave roams the front of the house for comments when hes not out fishing for your dinner. As you would expect at a restaurant of Halyards caliber, reservations are a good idea
