I started with a piece of Graphic 45 paper for the background. I stamped the top half of my sentiment on the top of the Splendid Circle die template. I then stamped the bottom part to the sentiment and cut it out so that it was in the very bottom of the circle. Both circles were highlighted with broken china distress ink while in the die. I cut two larger circles in black to use as mats. I cut a strip of coordinating aqua card and added an adhesive strip it. Using our new clear micro beads, I coated the aqua card to give the strip a nice shimmery texture with the beads. I love the way these look! I added a tan and black mat to the strip and mounted my circles above and below it showing just the sentiments. I also wanted to say that I could have just cut the circle in half between the sentiment rather than stamping it twice, but the sentiment was rather tight so I thought it was easier to do two circles. The other halves of the circles are hidden by the centre strip. I added one of each of the lovely new layered flowers to the strip topped with a half pearl. I used some black rhinestone swirls top and bottom for accents and interest. And, of course, this one just needed the piercing today, don't you think? All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
Just writing this in between shows. Last nights shows showed again just how amazing you are and your own designed dies are as good if not better than the sneaky peek you gave us. All the goodies on offer are super. I loved the design you did cutting the die in half and making the pattern and am going to look at my existing dies as I'm sure that design can be done with some others. I also particularly like these layered flower dies they are going to be so versatile and the ribbon buckles will have lots of uses. I could go on and on but will stop now as I'd better at least make the bed and sort of tidy round as I will be watching all your shows today.
love from Jackie D
- 22 February 2012 09:19
Morning Sue
You've done it again, great shows last evening and I'm looking forward to todays shows. Beautiful card, my favourite colour.
I knew you had nothing to worry about regarding your lattice dies. They are great and I'm looking forward to them arriving. Have a good day, hopefully you can have a well deserved rest on Thursday.
Much love

Morning Sue
Loved your shows last night, missed this mornings for some reason thought I had set them all for recording.
Had to buy your lattice dies and the new mbossing folders and of course the Raspberry mat. (Did wonder if the white one from creative expressions is the same?)
Love your card today, the layout is brilliant

- 22 February 2012 09:54
Hi Sue, Fabulous Card. I really like the idea of placing intricate designs over a plain shadow background, rather than layering on top of each other. It really shows off the designs. Loved your shows last night. So many stunning cards. Your dies were definitely my favourite, due to the level of embossing detail & versatile design. Can't wait to play with all the dies & microbeads. With Love & Light Theresa. H

Hi Sue,
Great shows but I am so disappointed with the packages C&C have produced. No Moroccan dies :( and not a good pick of the day for me. Just didn't want all those embossing folders so didn't order the pick of the day. Did get the Persian and Damask and of course your lattice dies, but will just have to wait to get the others when on general sale next month. Got a day off work to watch you so back to the tv. Good luck for the rest of the day.

Hi Sue, congratulations on the launch last night, all the dies and samples are brilliant as always, with a special mention for your own Lattice dies which I had to get straight away along with some of the lovely new crinkly ribbon & other goodies. Love today's card, that backing paper is beautiful and I would never have thought of splitting up the circles like that, must try it with some of my older dies. Hope you manage to survive all the shows today just so we can continue to get inspiration from your marvellous demos.

Had to click the close-up to see the micro bead addition - what a lovely finish they give to that strip. The whole card is gorgeous, love the idea of cutting the circle in half like that.

- Judy said...
Dear Sue, I have all the shows recorded to watch later, but I couldn't resist a little peek when I was home at lunchtime and that was that! Another major Spellbinder purchase!! You really are a tempting lady, the name Spellbinder was made for you because you weave your magic with the dies and cast a spell upon us so that we all want to buy, buy, buy. I did catch you speaking about WAXED PAPER/FREEZER PAPER. I did spot that my local branch of Lakeland now sell it, (also available on line and they have stores nationwide). They call it Food Saver Paper Roll and you can buy a 30cm wide roll that is 25 metres long for £7.99. The catalogue ref is 2395. Here is the link: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/2395/Food-Saver-Paper-Roll. It is a thickish waxed paper, and I think it is similar to the product you were using in your demos. I hope it was OK for me to mention another company here, forgive me if I've broken any rules - just trying to be helpful to crafting buddies.
Thanks again for all the inspiration you give us, it is SO much appreciated.
Love Judy

I've just 'talked to you' on an earlier post, but want to add the same here as I mean it so muchm Sue! "Golly Sue, I'm yet another crafter who'd never thought of doing this! I really learn so much from watching you on C&C/IW & your fab blog about the less obvious uses of nesties. I really thank you for sharing your ideas with us."
Great shows on C&C/IW...what a treat!

Hello Sue,
How did you find time to post your card today with all the shows on C&C?
My comments are usually short, but today I have so much to say. Where do I begin? Oh, I know - you! You are so talented and yet so modest, which is part of your charm. You seem easily embarrassed about your designs - no need to be.
The waxed paper idea is brilliant.
I teach patchwork, so the star card was perfect for me.
I bought your DVD and love the techniques.
In November I bought the bundle of dies and today I ordered your lattice package (couldn't resist)
Thank you so much for sharing all of your tips and inspiration. You are so generous.

- Lindyloo said...
Hi Sue,
before I waffle on as usual may I first say I am so sorry, I missed all the shows today as we got stuck in traffic on the way home and also my grandson was upset which slowed us right down. However, I am watching you now while I type as I recorded them all from Sky.
After watching just the intro on last nights launch I was so in love with your samples, I ordered everything. This sample caught my eye instantly also, the colour and the style are beautiful.
As to 'Sue Wilson Designs' Woe!!! How proud are you my friend, beaming I bet and so you should be. These are so different to anything Spellbinders have done before and that is the first thing that struck me actually: you had your finger on what they were missing and what the public would like. I think you are a very savey lady on the quiet and I think this is the beginning of a very lucrative union for you. (I truly hope so, because besides you deserving it, we the public deserve it as we love you both!)
Please take a big breath now and relax if you are able, we don't want to wear you out too soon, we will need you around for a long time yet...LOL!!
Big hugs and regards Linda
- 22 February 2012 23:40
Hi Sue, Loved today's card and thought it looked particularly good on tv. Have had a super day watching all the shows (and have recorded them too). Thought you were amazingly perky after so little sleep! Love the lattice dies especially but all the dies and demos were great and I will enjoy seeing them all again when I watch my recordings. Glad to hear you've got another show tomorrow morning - otherwise would be have been feeling very sad that it was all over. Thank you for all your hard work and it's been appreciated very much. Hope you get a bit more sleep tonight!

The ASICS Gel DS Trainer 19 is a standard daily trainer and performance uptempo running shoe designed for a mild overpronated foot motion.
When you need a reliable shoe with mild support and a fast feel, the ASICS Gel DS Trainer 19 is your answer. Featuring a cushioned yet responsive ride, this trainer is suitable for uptempo running as well as everyday use. A lightweight upper utilizes an engineered mesh for structure and security while easily conforming to the size of your foot, offering lasting comfort out on the roads.
Model Number: T455N.7035
Weight: 8.0 oz (size 7)
Stack Height: 27mm (Heel), 17mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How it Fits (based on width B)
Comments: Much narrower than the previous DS Trainer. The toe box is not as wide as normal. I have been wearing the DS Trainer for 8 years but now I have to find a new, wider style. Too bad. I really like these shoes. :(
From: Anonymous. June 14th 2014
Comments: DO NOT PURCHASE A SIZE SMALLER. The shoe fitter said I should have also went with a 1/2 size smaller. I wear a 9 1/2 and a size 9 would have never fit.
From: Virginia Beach, VA. 2/18/14
Comments: Don't believe the foot sizer. Good thing I didn't. I normally wear a 9 1/2 in a Mizuno. It said I should buy a 9 in the DS Trainer. I bought a 9 1/2 and didn't have an over-abundance of space between my toes and the end of the shoe. A 9 would have been way too small. I'd recommend buying your normal size. Other than that, it has a bit more cushion than earlier DS trainers. Earlier DS trainers were rated as having a semi-firm ride. This one is rated with a semi-soft ride. It's light, responsive and flexible.

I'm preparing for IVF and it turned out that I have MTHFR C677T problem. Folate is very important, and this form is the best! In my country only one pregnancy vitamin is available that contains Metafolin but it contains iodine too which I'm not allowed to take because of TSH problem. I combine it with few other vitamins, so I don't need pregnancy multivitamin tablets. Thanks a lot for iHerb for making this product available for me! IVF vizsgálatoknál derült ki, hogy MTHFR C677T heterozigóta vagyok. Ez egy folsav felszívódási zavar. A Magyarországon kapható termékek közül jelenleg csak egy terhesvitamin tartalmaz Metafolint, az összes többi készítmény a folsav mesterséges formáját tartalmazza, ami ilyen problémásoknak inkább még káros is lehet. Ez elég nagy probléma, mivel egyes kutatások szerint (Czeizel Endre szerint is) a lakosság több, mint felét is éritheti ez a probléma. Ez a termék tisztán csak folátot tartalmaz. Mellé szedek B-komlexet és néhány egyéb vitamint a terhesvitamin kiváltása végett. Hálás vagyok az iHerb-nek, hogy hozzájuthattam ehhez a termékhez! Köszönöm!
Amazingly effective, as always

Helps with methylation if any chronic disease is in place. Methylation - one of the most important functions of the body, in regards to detoxing, proper neural health, healing and prevention to develop DNA damage which leads to near permanent disease degradation.

This seemed to really give me a burst of energy and a sense of well being initially. By the third day I did develope some side effects of swelling in my ankles and dizziness. After some research, I learned that other people reported it increases a need for potassium. I'm also not sure if this had anything to do with an increase in my appetite because I was also trying some new digestive enzymes during the same time period. I quit taking this due to a fear in it contributing to me gaining a few pounds, however I do not know for sure if it really did or not. I would like to try it again since it improved my mood greatly, but I do have a hard time taking the weight off once I put it on. So for me this is one of those supplements that seems *great*, but should be taken with a bit of caution and some research.

Food Additives I Don't Want To Eat
- cuccubear Feb 12, 2009 09:27 AM
I read labels. It all started when I was a young bachelor and I wanted something "fancy" for dinner. I bought one of those seasoned rice packets, prepared and ate it, noticing it was very salty. When I looked at the listed ingredients I was shocked to discover that except for rice, it was pretty much all chemicals! I thought it was going to be just rice with herbs. Why did I need those artificial colors, flavors and preservatives?
By now, we _all_ know that processed foods are loaded with additives, for good or bad. But reading label after label, you find the same ones in almost everything. If I were to begin a career in manufacturing, I think I would make a lot of money producing Enriched Wheat Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Soy Bean Oil, Citric Acid or Soy Lecithin.
There are some things I will not eat, because they contain these or other additives. I have become a "make-it-from-scratch" kind of person as opposed to a "buy-it-in-a-can" person. I know there are good reasons to buy canned products and processed foods on occasion, (sweetened condensed milk comes to mind) but some products will not be purchased willingly by me because of their additives.
Personally, I want nothing with Aspartame, or multiple sugars (i.e. Corn syrup _and_ Sugar _and_ Dextrose _and_ Glucose, etc.) I avoid MSG and any kind of "lo-cal" chemical substitutes. And I really try to avoid artificial flavorings.
I am of the mind that using real ingredients (butter, sugar, eggs) is healthier than using chemical substitutes, but that's a debate in itself.
What additives do you refuse to buy, perhaps opting for a more "healthy" substitute (if there is one)?
I won't buy the chips or pringles with olestra. Maybe not healthier, but regular chips are just way better.
I also avoid anything with aspartame.
When I got out of college and started purchasing groceries and making food, I bought a lot of processed, boxed crap that my mother would never let us have when we were kids. I remember calling her in horror once after fixing my first (and last) box of Hamburger Helper because it literally ate the finish off the insides of my mouth because of the chemicals in it. This was the beginning of my food education as an adult, for sure. My Mom was laughing and was all like, I didn't just not feed you those things because I was mean, I didn't buy them because they're a) awful and b) very expensive compared to how many meals you get out of something you make from scratch. The evolution took many years, and then I had to teach mr. rockandroller.
We (also) do not consume any sugar substitutes at all, I think there is just zero place for them in one's diet and zero reason to consume them. If I were diabetic, I just wouldn't eat sugary foods - I hardly eat any anyway as it is. We also avoid products with corn syrup like the plague. About the only time I drink pop anymore is when the passover coke comes out because it's made with sugar. Or my sister brings me coke from Mexico (this was my Xmas gift this year), which they sell at her grocery store in WI for some reason. I also just discovered a new version of 7-up they are selling at the organic section of my grocery and it's sweetened with good old fashioned SUGAR!
I also cannot stand egg substitute and won't get "scrambled" eggs on a buffet or in a hotel because of it. And I hate fake syrup. It's just corn syrup.
My biggest pet peeve is probaly the OIL in little packets they put out with your coffee and call it "creamer." Not cream, because obviously it's NOT cream, but "creamer." It's OIL. Usually like 4 different types of oil. Why would I want to put oil in my coffee? And if I were trying to watch my weight or my heart health by avoiding real cream, why would I want to put OIL in it instead? This boggles my mind.
re: rockandroller1
If I see "Creme"-filled anything, I shudder. And I hate to see parents feeding that stuff to their children. That entire "food" is -- there's nothing there! It's a "food" made _from_ additives!
re: cuccubear
like the "kreme" filled donuts in dunkin donuts :)
re: rockandroller1
"My Mom was laughing and was all like, I didn't just not feed you those things because I was mean"...
This describes my mom perfectly - I think she took a perverse pleasure in knowing that she could be mean to us under the guise of feeding us the right thing...
Anything blue.
Aspartame or any other artificial sugar.
I am getting more grossed out by artificial crap in my food. Just reading what's in it is often enough to make me put the product back on the shelf. My husband has to be very wary of sodium and I am getting very anti-chemistry lab so betwixt Jack and Jill I am cooking just about everything from scratch. Which seems to me rather luxurious.
re: Querencia
I suspect that's why the food is prepared with "chemical shortcuts", so it's easy! and no-hassle!
I know people who only eat whipped cream out of a can, saying the real stuff is too fattening. But it's so easy to make, and one doesn't eat it everyday! So _be_ luxurious! :-) I don't want to eat an all-chemical food.
I'm trying to stick to buying ingredients instead of prepared foods. I'm always surprised at what I find.
Tonight, it was three different brands of dried blueberries, and each one containing HFCS. Seriously? It's dried fruit, people. How f*@%ing sweet does it need to be?
Moderation in all things--well, most--is my mantra. I grew up in the '60s and '70s and I'm sure I had my fill of all the 'miracle' additives back then, with no ill effects I can see. I draw the line at saccharin (tastes yucky) and Olestra (diarrhea isn't my idea of fun). I don't get hysterical over HFCS, and I don't mind aspartame. I'll avoid 'chemicals' if I don't like the taste or texture they impart to food, or if I've got pretty compelling evidence they're bad for me, but I try not to worry too much because that makes my food taste bad for sure! I think I eat enough simple, 'real' food to balance out the test-tube stuff.
I used to teach in an inner city after school program and I eventually began to notice a connection between the kids' behavior and what they had for lunch. The higher the nitrates the more rowdy the behavior. Hot dog days were hell.
In a sense I don't refuse to buy anything. I simply buy groceries and my groceries don't include processed foods (although I eat Chef Boy R Dee ravioli in the US maybe once every other trip in part because I find it funny that I like it). The closest I have to processed food are Japanese and other Asian pickled vegetables.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Hi Sam, but do you ever find that even the simplest foods end up with more ingredients than what they are? Like artificial flavoring in a can of corn?
When you look at the label do you say "What's that? I'm not going to eat _that_!"?
re: cuccubear
Good point. I went to the ref and pantry before posting. I do have canned sardines, tuna, corn, smoked eel, jars of caviar, tomato paste, polenta, couscous, rice, dried pasta, dry lentils and beans, dried mushrooms, nori, wakami, pickled ginger, and more. The Japanese pickled ginger has HFCS. The corn has sugar (Colombia produces sugar but not HFCS), and salt. The tomato paste has glucose and citric acid. The rest is just what it is; and I don't use much of the products with additions. For corn I usually strip kernals from cobs. I mostly make my own pickled ginger.
I never buy chips, soft drinks, breakfast cereals, desserts, candy, frozen pizzas or dinners, hot dogs,,,
I like making food from scratch. Corn syrup is a no-no, and I hate even the idea of ketchup. I've said before that the smell of the corn product remanufacturing plant south of Chicago smelled like roasted rubber, and that smell haunts me to this day.
"Preservative-free" makes me laugh, when there's salt, sugar, or citric acid involved (not that any are bad) because all can be preservatives.
But I'm an oddity because I've been reading labels for over 20 years.
These days, I prefer foods (or ingredients) with 3 ingredients or less, including my canned tomatoes.
But, I love red. Most likely a backlash from no artificial colourings while living with my parents. I don't eat it that much, but candies in red are tasty. They're usually made with all of the bad things in many levels, and I have them 1-3x per year. Swedish fish. Red Hots. Red Gummis.
I haven't found Jack's Pizza since I left Chicago in 2004, but it was my favourite frozen pizza. Occasionally it can be found at Walgreen's (when on sale for 3-5/$10), but I've gotten tired of looking for it on the coasts. If I ever find it again, I might buy it.
In EU we can check food additives by E Numbers. There are also applications for this, for example for iPhone - E Numbers calc - http://www.sarson-iphone.com/en/e-num....
Being allergic to corn & all its derivatives, my shopping list includes only the most basic items in their most natural state possible. Your list of multiple sugars, dextrose, glucose, etc, are almost always from corn in the US. As is the Citric Acid. And the Enriched Flour...the vitamins are either derived from corn or are carried in a corn base. If you want to see just how many ingredients can come from corn, check out the current list of nearly 200 ingredients: http://www.cornallergens.com/list/cor...
And yes, sweetened condensed milk is wonderful thing...now if only I could get it to last longer in my pantry without disappearing.

Cinnamon Rolls in a Snap
A friend called one morning to see if I wanted company for coffee. I was going to make biscuits for breakfast but wanted something fancier to share. So I quickly turned those biscuits into hot cinnamon rolls. Was my friend impressed when she arrived to the sweet aroma!
12 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
4-1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1-1/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins, optional
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon
McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Turn onto a floured
surface; knead 8-10 times. Roll the dough into a 12-in. x 10-in.
rectangle. Spread with butter. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and
raisins if desired; sprinkle over butter.
Roll up from a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices;
place with cut side down on a large greased baking sheet.
Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile,
combine the icing ingredients; spread over warm rolls. Serve warm.
Yield: 1 dozen.

Longtime local jazz broadcaster Doug Gruber died Wednesday, Northeast Indiana Public Radio said. He was 77.
Gruber stepped down from his roles at NIPR last month because of health concerns, the station said on its website. It said he was recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
NIPR said Gruber joined WOWO as a reporter in the 1960s, leaving in 1967.
As a student in the late 1950s, he worked in broadcasting as an assistant program manager and afternoon disc jockey at Purdue University, NIPR said.
Gruber joined public radio as a volunteer in the 1990s, first broadcasting classical music on WBNI and then jazz for WBOI.
Doug has been an integral part of 89.1 WBOI and Classical 94.1 WBNI for nearly 20 years, Peter Dominowski, NIPR president and general manager, said when Gruber left last month.
Whether being a host for jazz or classical music, or reporting on the TinCaps or Komets, Doug's distinctive voice was welcomed and trusted by our listeners.
Our stations – and our community – are a better place because of his many talents as a broadcaster. No one could possibly replace his unique talents.
No public services are planned at this time, NIPR said.

- Great food, service and ambianceLark3719Dined on 11/26/2014We had lunch at Halcyon the day before Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful room. It was not busy on the day before Thanksgiving and our service was perfect ... server was well-informed and attentive but not instrusive. The food was delightful ... I had the braised bison and it was superb. This is a real treat of a place and I plan to return often when I am in Uptown Charlotte.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Uptown Charlotte Experience2good2missDined on 11/22/2014Would I recommend this restaurant to a friend? Yes and No. Yes, if they are looking for something different and special. No, if they are quantity and price conscience. The food was well prepared and the presentation was excellent. It is the fashion now days to present the food on a large platter with a little bit of food in the middle. The two of us did not order the most expensive item on the menu and we each had a glass of wine. The cost was a little less than $100. Later in the evening we were still hungry.Special Features:
- filled with flavorOKCWinerDinerDined on 11/18/2014I visited Halcyon recently during a visit to Charlotte after reading reviews. The food was impeccably flavorful. I had the Harvest Soup followed by the lobster. It was wonderful. Delicious. I'd go again. Also had the pear cocktail (don't remember the exact name) -- it was also great. Server was Nick who provided great service. Overall, superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The service was great and the food was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great meal at Halcyon!ACamp165Dined on 11/11/2014I have been to Halcyon a handful of times and it never disappoints! I ordered the Halcyon burger the first few visits but decided to venture out this time and order something different. It was hard though - that burger is the BEST burger I've ever had! I ordered the braised bison this time and it was delicous! Not a large portion, but perfect for lunch. I brought three friends who had never been and the day was nice enough that we could sit outside. My friends LOVED it and they all ordered the burger! Our waitress was very friendly and engaging - the service is always wonderful so I will definitely be back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

He brought a cheese plate complements of the chef. At the 1hr20min mark, with still empty glasses, no further visit from the waiter, and no apology from the manager, the four of us rose and left. The house comp'd our drinks, but wow what a waste of an evening. I'm curious if this place is even managed. I feel sorry for the chef and cooks in the back... maybe their food was great, but with an incompetent front of the house, who would know?
- Very disappointed in the foodfood4thoughtDined on 10/28/2014The planters outside had completely dead plants. My bloody mary came in a pilsner glass, no room for anything like pickled beans, okra or celery stick, just 2 boring olives & a slice of lemon & tasted like it was made from a mix. The farmers salad, described as butternut squash, dates &goat cheese was just a large plate of ho hum lettuce with a sprinking of miniscule cubes of butternut, maybe 6 date slivers and a sprinkling of goat cheese. I did like the dressing. The most disappointing thing was the seafood soup, with a weird variety of veges, a whole radish, enoki mushrooms and yellow squash. No rich safron tomato broth & weird looking unnamed "white fish". Poached apricots turned out to be dried ones, & were too hard.Special Features:
- Wine ListjazzmanDined on 10/24/2014We had a very nice experience at Halcyon. This was my second time and the food and ambience were wonderful. The wine list is a bit of a challenge. They serve pretty much all boutique wines . . . which in my opinion is great! Since there is no sommelier we asked our waiter for recommendations for a big cab-like red under $100 ($60 to $80-ish), and what the waiter recommended was really not at all what we would have expected. He offered to take it back and said that the only big reds were well over $100. Its surprising to me that a restaurant of this level would have that limited of a wine list . . . and no sommelier to help to help customers walk through it.Special Features:
- GingerVIPDined on 10/23/2014The farm salad I had was a bit skimpy for the money and the server was only adequate. My friend had a fabulous tuna salad however.Special Features:

- "Never disappoints"OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/19/2014I was very pleased to introduce yet another guest to Halcyon. They were delighted with ambiance, their meal and the attentive service. Thank You AJ for the warm & professional welcome! NoelSpecial Features:

- Hidden GemTtas1214Dined on 10/12/2014It took a couple of minutes to figure out its located above the Mint museum, after that everything was lovely. A beautiful restaurant with a great view of the downtown. The food was wonderful and the craft cocktails are worth a look. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AverageOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 10/10/2014I was very disappointed in our meals this weekend. One fundamental flaw is that the entrees/snacks are over prepared. For example, the babagounoush was terrible as the seasoning was horrible and not needed needed. Also food presentation was sloppy and uneven. Service was good but were overshadowed by the poor skills in the kitchen.Special Features:
- Pre-theater dinnerYankeeDined on 10/9/2014We had tickets for the ballet next door at the Knight Theater and let the waitress know. As we got there early we had time for a leisurely dinner. All went well, we shared a warm Caesar salad which was excellent and had the rabbit and lamb entrees. We decided to order dessert as plenty of time remained and waited, and waited , and waited. Finally my husband found the waitress and asked her to cancel the order. It evidently had turned very busy back there (or she forgot to submit the order). So a good dinner if you like beautifully plated dishes but small servings.Special Features:
- Love at First BiteJDavisDined on 10/4/2014This was our first trip to Halcyon, but it won't be our last. My wife and I sampled 6 items from the menu and all were perfect. Beautiful presentation and a flavor explosion with each bite. We have dined at all of the top restaurants in Uptown, and this is by far our favorite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view from the balcony!FoodieMeVIPDined on 10/4/2014Took my Mom for brunch to this uptown Charlotte spot. Got there around noon on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see no long brunch patron lines. The restaurant is light, modern, with smart accents. We were promptly seated on the balcony overlooking Tryon. It was a clear sunny day which allowed for great views of the Green, the church and uptown. The fried chicken with buscuits, the chicken pate, and the bouillon were scrumptious. The mimosas packed a punch. Place got busy as we were leaving, but still plenty of room to navigate around tables. Only drawback is paying for parking (unless you secure a spot on the street), but it was not bad at $4.00. The restaurant probably validates parking, but I forgot to ask. :-)Special Features:
- Small servingsImlusDined on 9/27/2014Great food but very small servings. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/24/2014I had a reservation for a party of two for lunch, but arrived with +1 and they were extremely accommodating. Service was unnecessarily slow, lunch took nearly two hours and our server was lackadaisical. However, the food and atmosphere more than made up for this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An artful dining experience.artfulmealDined on 9/20/2014Every time I visit Charlotte, NC, and the Mint Museum, I make reservations at Halcyon. Located just outside the museum, this restaurant offers great farm to table dining options, a great view of the city and friendly service in an artful setting. Go and experience it yourself!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Charlotte Favoritepeh2m9VIPDined on 9/13/2014I've been to Halcyon four times now and after each experience I like it more! The setting is calming, open and intimate but the Uptown location gives it a fun city vibe. Weather permitting, I prefer to sit outside. The service is consistently good but the food is what keeps bringing me back. The flavors are rich, but healthy and the options change with the seasons and availability, which I like. If you go soon, be sure to order the braised bison. When I went this weekend the chef shaved fresh truffle on top and it was heavenly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love new lighter menuLightfoodloverDined on 9/13/2014We have dined here many times but especially loved the new lighter menu. There were several fish/seafood entrees and finally a sashimi app (hamachi) that was very nice. The fruit (fresh berries) sabayon dessert with marscapone was also very light and the drinks were very unique. I especially loved the coriander Prosecco moonshine cocktail, but wish it was not quite so sweet. Prosecco is almost (but not quite) sweet enough to carry the other ingredients. A lovely view of downtown charlotte and a great matre 'd who knows how to please. Would love to see more light items. With such a great chef I'm sure they could be ultra creative with ceviche.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodiemamaFoodiemamaDined on 9/12/2014Excellent food, service and overall experience. Ordered tapas style to sample many tastes and all were amazing. Highly seasoned and very different in taste. The blue cheese soufflé and risotto grits were over the top. Service was exceptional and assistance with a very good wine list was perfect. The pineapple cake was not what I expected. It was better. One suggestion. If you order tapas size and style they bring it all at once. Tables are small. Serving dishes are large. Doesn't work. Ask your server to bring out one at a time since normally you are sharing. I will return on my next trip to Charlotte. Will be first on my list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasurelangberrydiningDined on 9/9/2014I've had the opportunity to have lunch at Halcyon on two different occasions. Each time the food and service was spectacular. The setting/decor couldn't be any more lovely (ok maybe the view could be less concrete but it is "uptown"). If you can find this place; it's not quite visible from street level (one story up!) it's worth the staircase many times over!Special Features:
- Great dining experienceJrmeDined on 9/6/2014We have now been to Halcyon for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Each time has been a great experience. Superb food, great service and just a wonderful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High hopes, but not fully metJustMyThoughtsDined on 8/30/2014We chose Halcyon to celebrate an important wedding anniversary. All went well but not outstanding. A special for the night was squab which the waiter said was mild. It wasn't mild and at least as strong and red as duck; I enjoyed it but my wife did not and asked to send it back. The rest of the food was good, but with the exception of the soufflé was good but not great. As was the rest of the experience good but not great: our special anniversary which I mentioned in making the reservations was mentioned but nothing special done for it. A special flower at the table or comp desert or something else would have been nice. Also no Merlot by the glass. From my perspective, it's the kind of restaurant for a corporate dinner.Special Features:
- AWESOME SPOTnania38VIPDined on 8/29/2014This is an amazing restaurant right in uptown Charlotte. Really cute outdoor space to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and an espresso after the meal. Our server was really sweet and when we asked for advice on whiskey the bartender came over and gave us some to try and really helped us. It made us feel special. There are VERY original menu items - we had the lamb, the pork belly and scallops, the zucchini blossoms with ricotta and the veggie platter. All were to die for and super tasty - Everything was very fresh and absolutely delicious. The wine was delicious and the ambiance is fantastic and it felt very romantic. Cant say enough positive comments about this place. LOVED IT.Special Features:
- A memorable feast!FabFoodDined on 8/29/2014Perhaps the best meal I've ever had! Tasty wines and superb "small plates" makes Halcyon a sure bet for a fabulous evening. And imagine this!? You can afford "fabulous" at Halcyon. Doesn't get any better than this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Food was pretty goodNotAFoodieDined on 8/6/2014This review is for the second time I went for dinner. I ordered the steak and it was OK, definitely not within my top ten steak dinner experiences. And I would have expected it to be given the price. The service was really very very good though. It was loud in there because of a couple of boisterous groups, so next time I'll pick a different spot to take a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding ServiceHannah91380Dined on 8/6/2014I recently went to Halycon for dinner. We had a reservation and were promptly seated in a table with a beautiful view of the city. Incidentally, all tables have a beautiful view because of the amazing windows. The ambience and food were good, but what was especially outstanding was the service. Our server was Adam, and he was warm, funny, knowledgable, and helpful. He gave us great descriptions and recommendations on food as well as attending to us throughout the meal. Our food was very good as well. We had a variety of things but our favorites were the flatbread appetizer and the chicken feta sausage that accompanied one of the dishes.Special Features:
