Exactly how I like my sandwiches served This cute authentic café/store in Halcyon is serving some seriously flavorful paninis that make the perfect lunch spot. Pair them with one of their flavored sodas, grab a seat outdoors, and you've got yourself the sweetest little lunch date Already planning my next visit for the pastas and desserts because they looked too good to skip. If you haven't tried this hidden gem at Halcyon yet... you're definitely missing out

I saw someone reviewing this restaurant online and based on how much they raved about it, I had to…read moretry it being so close by. Ordered the Amore Mio which was what was recommended and although the menu items are not cheap, it was absolutely delicious!!! The panini is so big, we ended up splitting it. We opted for the garlic olio since my bf doesn't care for tortufolio and sun dried tomatoes as opposed to regular tomatoes. Pesto, burrata, all the meats, oh my yum!! The flavors are amazing. The only complaint from my bfs side was the prosciutto was stringier than he'd want, but he didn't spare a single bite so that says it all to me. I do like that the paninis are served with chips instead of fries or anything. Don't get me wrong, I love fries, but definitely prefer chips with a panini. Salivating just thinking about going back to try more of the menu!

We were there around 11am, so early for lunch and there were already a few parties there. We were seated immediately at a nice booth and ordered within minutes. English is not an issue here. I loved that the menu has a kid's pho that is simply less of a portion. We also got them with plain broth, no onions. I got the large sized pho tai and it was huge! There was a ton of meat and it was very filling. The broth was light and clean, tasted healthy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The pricing was decent and the interior very modern and clean.

I like the variety, not just the most common North Indian dishes! There's a huge selection of South Indian dishes here, which was a huge green flag for me. I came for the Desi pizzas, but was floored by the selection of snacks, curries, and desserts they offer. I'm truly impressed. The most important, the food always comes out HOT AND FRESH! You can tell they make their food to order here. And the other thing I want to note: are the prices. The prices here are FANTASTIC for the portions you get! I can't say enough good things. I'm so happy to have one of my favorite cuisines, of such high quality and price, so close by!! Thank you for making my food with care and love always :)

We got seated quickly with menus and decided to go with the masala order and two Mysore masala orders. The potato stuffing and chutneys were definitely on the spicier side but liked the sweetness of the ginger chutney to balance it out. The sambhar was also quite tasty. We also liked how fresh the potato stuffing and sambhar was and overall how filling the dish was. I definitely do want to come back and next time try their fusion pizzas which looked like a popular item!

He was quiet, mumbling his words, and didn't know what he was talking about. We all ordered our food and found a place to sit. The drinks (of that which were available) were very syrupy and didn't taste right at all. This brings me to the first picture of the soda machines. Much like a "Where's Waldo" portrait, the longer you look, the more you see. Except instead of a dopamine hit, it's a slight feeling of dread that compounds with every find. First, we have two drinks out of order. That happens, no big deal. As we continue to look at the machine we notice its base is propped up by two styrofoam cups. Still weird, but not too nasty. To the right there are also no napkins. I find this is more than a minor inconvenience when eating finger food. Lastly, but certainly most unsettling, is the bug trap set up just to the left of the machine. I appreciate you using a trap, but right next to drinks and where food is bound to be put down? After 10 minutes, I alone received my food. Except it wasn't what I ordered. I ordered the sandwich pictured in the restaurant which was advertised as the chicken salad sandwich and received what consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken. I clarified I had actually ordered the chicken salad sandwich (because this was obviously not that) and the singular man assured me that was correct. Another 15 minutes pass by and the rest of my family gets their food. The glorified bar food was mediocre at best and my family wasn't even interested in finishing. He also forgot an order of fries. This is impressive because of the 5 customers in the entire building, my family was 5 of them. As we were leaving, another poor man and his family walked in to order. I felt a moral obligation to turn him away. This was also right as we passed the pitiful 80 on the inspection report. I usually let this stuff go, but as someone who appreciates food, I felt it would be a disservice to society to let this place continue to have an inflated 4.4 stars. Thank you for coming to my TED talk...

Within a strip mall, there's parking readily available. It's fast casual, meaning you'll order at the counter and then take a number where your food is quickly delivered to your table. They have breakfast until 10:30 AM, then there's a 30 min transition to lunch which starts at 11. I arrived at noon- the place is busy, they have so many options for meals that it was difficult to choose. I went with an Italian sub and a Diet Coke, I figured how can you go wrong with their number one item on the menu? Delicious, and with the banana peppers it made for a great sandwich! Service is so wonderful. And they have a bakery and bar in house....dangerous all around! Family friendly and for me, having a casual lunch meeting was no problem! Support small owned businesses!

I was greeted LIKE I was wanted! So thank you to the wonderful young lady behind the register taking orders. I was scanning the menu as it was my first time visiting. After learning this information she quickly ran me through some of her favorite options, and answered all questions(knowledgeably I might add) I had myself about the menu. I chose the Marshal as well as a slice of the Heat of the Week. Because....why not. And by the way, the Marshall is not shown. My belly would not allow me to reach for my camera after first visualization. The pizza was heaven at first bite. Perfect undercarriage while fresh ingredients cooked to perfection on top. Then......the Marshal. Ooooohhhhhh the Marshal. Their version of a hot Italian beef. And what a phenomenal version at that. Wonderful spice and the right about of heat. Tender juicy beef. No regrets. I was introduced to Miss Marie and talk about a blessing on Earth. Talked to me like an old friend of the family. Even checked on me herself after receiving my food to go. Can not wait to go back!! 10 outta 10!

My wife's chicken shawarma was just as impressive: juicy, well-seasoned, and layered with spices. Both dishes with flavor sensations we simply do not get in our daily diet, which makes eating here a great treat. Alex is a fantastic host and makes you feel genuinely welcome every time you walk in making you feel like you've walked into his home for a meal, not just another chain restaurant. Service is consistently top notch--attentive without being overbearing--and you can tell they truly care that you enjoy your meal. If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food with outstanding hospitality, Gardenia is absolutely worth the visit.
