“Food and service was great. Will make this a regular stop”

“Where do I start? My friend and I had the best experience at the Portland St. Pur & Simple restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with our server Heather and with Brandon. The food was spectacular and the service was as well. We will definitely be returning!”

“Well worth a trip across the bridge! I rarely go to Dartmouth, but had an appointment this aft. Walking back to my car, I noticed this cute spot, Portland Street Creperie and decided to check it out. So glad I did! I’ll definitely be back. The owner and his staff member of many years greeted me with a warm welcome and good suggestions. It was a bonus to discover Neil shares a love of Kraftwerk! I’m so jealous that he will be seeing them for the third time 🤦‍♀️. Oh, and the crepes - fabulous! Definitely recommended!”

“Best Turkish food in Nova Scotia!”

“Delicious food and great service!! Had the nachos to start and tacos with cheese fries everything tasted amazing!”

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent grab and go. Friendly staff and great carnitas.”

“My sister and brother-in-law have been raving about the food at Simply Asian for awhile now. Today they treated me to lunch and it was absolutely scrumptious! I had the Korean chicken noodle bowl - all the ingredients were so fresh. The ginger mint lemonade was delicious too. I will be back, and will bring my husband along - the prices are so reasonable!”

“Superior and such pleasant service. Delicious lunch and healthy too. Definitely Recommend!”

“Stopped in for lunch on our last day in Halifax. We had the Philly cheesesteak and the Tap burger. Food was 10/10, large hearty serving, everything was cooked perfectly. Met the owner, she was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back”

“I don’t do reviews much but Sushi101 was incredibly delicious with an artistic flair that just added to the experience! We actually had to admire the artistry before diving into the various sushi roll plates. I am not one to take pictures of my food but the presentation of the various plates made me give-in and I did take my phone out for a few candid shots. I know it’s rude on date night to have a phone out but it really was that incredible!! Service was wonderful and a little wait is necessary when the food is coming out that fresh and beautiful. They were busy with eat in and take out; word must be getting out!! Well done chef and team at Sushi101!!”

“Our server Victoria G. was very pleasant and helpful ..very nice to be able to eat without loud music blasting ...And the Canadian Eh Burger was delicious ....”

“The jerk chicken is must. Definitely recommend. Very friendly. 'Nuff respect”

“What a lovely spot! We stopped in with friends this evening, the service was fantastic, and we all enjoyed the drinks.”

“I had one of the best burgers and vanilla bean cheesecake. We also had the best service by Amber!”

“Every time I go, I never leave disappointed. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, the food is amazing & the venue is always beautiful this time of year! Definitely recommend making a reservation in advance to shorten your wait time as it's a very popular place especially on Friday & Saturday nights although if you don't, trust me, it's worth the wait Every.Single.Time!!!”

“Great staff, delicious food always fresh love it!”

“Great food, coffee and people. What more do you need in a local cafe?”

“I had the salmon (with honey mustard) and garlic mashed potatoes. It was amazing! The salmon was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend.”

“I actually really love this place. They have quite a few options on their vegan menu, including a vegan version of their sweet corn soup. Sweet & Sour Tofu, Massaman Curry, etc - and their portion sizes are so big! I come here at least once a trip when I’m in Halifax area. Went again last night and loved it. The servers are always so nice too.”

“Caleb was our server and he was amazing so nice and helpful. My mom and I aren’t from the area so we never been to Jack astors before, but Caleb was helpful with any questions and recommendations we wanted.”

“Excellent Customer Service Awesome Location and Great Prices... Food is amazing and you feel like you're home when you get there!!! Stop by you will be glad you did 😊👍👍”

“Recently developed gluten allergy, and missing all the "good" foods. I heard about Evans, and tried it today! wow wow! it was so good! we shared the seafood platter for two. fish was fresh and big, and those clams.. oh my gosh they were good! I've been smiling since I left there! thank you so much for being a GF location!”

“The food was great when we went, and it is a cool vibe. We were sat upstairs and loved the decor too. Our server was very friendly as well. Cocktails were tasty.”

“Good service good food always a pleasant atmosphere when we are there”

“I ❤️ the whole Timber experience. Fun times throwing axes - the axe coaches keep it safe and allow us to have fun at the same time. The bar manager Marty is wonderful at serving bevvies and is hilarious. Cudos to Darren and the whole gang for the entire ax-perience. 11 out of 10 for a fabulous night out !!!”

“Stopped by for lunch while on our way back home from NS camping trip. The wife made me haul a camper off of the highway, downtown to stop by - (I only agreed because it was Moxies) Service was a 10 star – food was a 10 star – drinks were a 10 star – this is probably the most consistent chain restaurant I have ever visited. I always review each experience because with most any restaurant, whether it be Moxies or any restaurant – each experience changes but with Moxies, it is consistent.”

“I had the Korean Tacos and they were so delicious!! So filling of different flavours and creative. In summer, it must be beautiful there, but even on a misty day it was nice!”

“Favorite Tim's location. The staff is so friendly and personable. Always greeted with a smile. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. My order is spot on and delicious. Great place sit and chat with family and friends.”

“Helpful staff, delicious food and great coffee. The best part is they are one of the few shops open late night and early morning. Thank you for providing us the service. We appreciate it.”

“Very Welcoming and patient staff! Quik and versatile.

Vegetarian options: Welcome to McDonald's, the are very competitive with the norm of diet.

Dietary restrictions: 100% catering

Parking: There are about 3 Gas stations on that corner. McDonald's has 300° of parking. Plus the options of strip malls and Gas.

Kid-friendliness: No real play spot, and gets very bust during rush hour. Not ideal.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp”

“Eating areas could use some more cleaning attention, but I understand it gets very busy. Heard the manager announce mandatory hand washing break, which was a pleasant surprise. Staff were all friendly.”

“It's McDonald's you know what you're getting, and If you expect better, you're simply gaslighting yourself into believing the food is great, when it's only good based on occasion.”

“This is one of the most spacious locations that I’ve come across and it’s situated in the middle of Dartmouth. While the demographic that dined here seemed to be lower income, the staff did a good job of being accommodating.

The order came quickly and the visit was especially pleasant as we stumbled upon their kids activity night that’s Wednesdays 4-7pm weekly. The location seems like it could fit a kids playground but perhaps that was in the past!”

“This is the best Burger King I have ever encountered. I've been to this burger king many times; the service is fast, the food is hot, and the staff are cheerful. It's really astonishing how well this restaurant presents itself. I liked this place before the renovations, and now with the update, it's even better.”

“We Tried the veggie burger and poutine – both were delicious! The place was a bit crowded and wait time was a little high, but Prixat’s great customer service made up for it. Overall, a good experience.”

“Great coffee and treats all freshly prepared. Clean cozy environment. Great selection of unique gift ideas. Love this store. I highly recommend.”

“Holy!!!! Absolutely perfect pizza. Light, fluffy, crispy dough….. could not have been better in any way. Sooooo much pep it was overflowing.

Garlic fingers absolutely SLAPPED! I’m like drunk on how good that was.

Best pizza and garlies in this city 100% Super fast service too.

THANK YOU!”

“Used to go here often for takeout prior to moving out of province. Returned and obviously had to have it again and it was just as good as I remembered! Highly recommend this place for great pizza and donairs.”

“We were in for the first time tonight, and will definitely be back. Food was delicious, great portion sizes and very reasonable prices! We tried the family bbq, it was a lot of food for the price. I didn't even get to try the ribs, I was so full from the brisket, sausage and pulled pork. Service was also great, Kim? I think, was attentive without hovering, and really talked up the kitchen staff when we said how good the food was. Overall, great dinner!”

“It was my first visit to Mozzarrito, I was greeted by a friendly young lady, Bhakti was her name. She made me a Tandoori Paneer Burrito, delicious! I will be back for sure. Thanks for the great service and yummy recommendation :)”

“Lovely Mediterranean restaurant with exceptionally beautiful tablecloths and a nice ambiance. We ordered the beet salad (beets, walnuts, goat cheese, maple vinaigrette) and the mixed meze plate which included hummus, dolma, mutabbel, falafel, and eggplant saute. For dessert we had the baklava and liked it so much we also got an order to go. The baklava at the table was served with a delicious raspberry sauce.

Everything was very tasty and plated in an attractive way. Our server was very attentive and helpful. The view from the restaurant is the only detraction since it looks out onto a parking lot (nice trees, otherwise unexceptional) but they do their best to make the inside beautiful and cozy. We will definitely go back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Long ramp”

“Finally had the chance to try Maria’s. Fresh pasta (Mafaldini) had never seen this shape before, 1/4”wide or so, looked like a lasagna noodle),Rosa Sauce and the best Lemoncello cake ever! Made chicken parm with the sauce and noodles and it was excellent. I can see this being a regular stop for take home ingredients. Also want to try the Porchetta sandwich so next Friday it’s marked on the calendar!”

“Amazing place, definitely recommend to everyone, the quality and quantity are on point, it cannot get better than this

Vegetarian options: Yes!”

“Well it’s safe to say Eli’s is amazing. My son chose to write about Eli’s for a school persuasion assignment — and now we have to go this afternoon because he persuaded my household! Lol”

“wow, raisin bread and everything else is awesome too. so helpful and kind”

“North is one of our favorite local spots. They host fun events (the drag shows are wild and I love to see that type of support in our community). We love the atmosphere, food is great, staff is always lovely and the beer is always good - in fact, their sours are beyond the best around and I really hope they start brewing them again. I was definitely a bit disappointed that they haven't offered one recently so.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back your sours! I also think their merchandise offered is more stylish then a lot of other similar places. It has a unique surf/beachy vibe that I hope they continue. What's even better is that they offer a 15% discount you can use on merch, if you show your receipt after dining in their taproom! Keep up the great work!”

“I didn't get any photos; I visited on Sunday, June 1st, with my four young kids and sister-in-law. I just wanted to say that the service was amazing; the staff were very accommodating, and the food was fresh. My daughter, who has a sesame allergy, was able to eat sushi; they cleaned the oil for her and cooked her food first. My daughter, who is 1, was treated like royalty and given a small spoon and some crushed ice with a bowl of fruit. This visit was so enjoyable. The waiter was hands-down one of the best I have ever come across while dining with my kids. She was patient, kind, and very engaging. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this visit 100.”

“We couldn’t choose so we had both! 😋Donair/Greek. Good job Pizza Time 👍”

“We recently ordered cupcakes with Delectable Desserts for a very special occasion. They were absolutely perfect! Right after opening up the box, we were totally impressed with the beautiful presentation. These cupcakes were just incredibly decorated. Each one of them was like a small piece of art. We had a sampling of a number of flavors, all of which were successes. The cakes were incredibly moist and light, sweet but not too sweet. The frosting was very smooth and creamy, full of flavor, not too sweet, and complemented the cake. Delectable Desserts really made our occasion special. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality really showed in every single bite. The service was great. The hospitality of the staff, warm and accommodating, showed in their passion for the job. They made sure everything was perfect with our ordered dish and delivered it on time, hence making the experience seamless and a joyful one. In short, we could not be more pleased with our Delectable Desserts cupcakes. They were truly the star dessert of the show at our special party, and our friends and family just loved them. We would enthusiastically recommend Delectable Desserts to any event a client wants to add a touch of sweet and classy to. Five stars all the way!”

“10/10 tastes fresh and is made very quickly could not recommend more. Best place to satisfy that sushi craving.”

“Great coffee / amazing service / great selection of local releases, and all the tapes, CDs vinyl and merch you could ask for!”

“Hands down best pizza, service and atmosphere there is. Karam and priya were so accommodating. I am an extreme vegetarian, and priya went out of her way to offer to make me pizza with toppings from a completely different station so there would be no meat contact. Then cleaned every utensil before using, and was extremely careful when making my pizza. These 2 workers go out of their way to give customers the best possible experience. We will for sure be back!!”

“Hands down my favorite weekend brunch spot! The food is so flavorful, potatoes so crispy, just absolutely brilliant by Chef Rico!! Great food, super reasonable price, and you likely won't need to eat another meal the same day. Highly recommend.”

“First time there today , food awesome great service, will definitely be back”

“Delicious scones and soup…great coffee…amazing friendly service. Definitely 5 ⭐️”

“I come here today and I tried 6 pizza places in sackville and 5 pizza places in Halifax and right now I have to rate them the best and a beautiful very polite woman who took my order :) worth the stop just for her smile 😀 but really very good food and I come from Quebec and pizzas ect are very good , and I gotta say thank you for the great tasting food and have a great day :)”

“5 big stars for the Dill Pickle ??”

“It’s an amazing experience with food as well as very clean tables and all things are arranged very well by staff . And food was a fantastic in test and mind blowing
It’s was very good experience. I really suggest you trust me visit ones any time”

“Delicious flavour good portions. Enough for leftovers!!”

“Have eaten here many many times Highly recommend seafood chowder. It’s a 10 out of 10.”

“Their Veggie pizza with hot honey baked into it is the best pizza in HRM”

“I have to first comment on the bathrooms. absolutely beautiful!! cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen in a restaurant, well done!! your food is delicious and your staff is the best!! we were treated with such kindness today, you made my boy feel so special on his 6th birthday. we will definitely be back again soon.”

“Great little place. Went there to get an order to go and it was so quick I couldn't believe it. Food was great. The people are very fast, professional and friendly. Definitely will be back.”

“Bread is so good but there is a big whole the entire loaf… sadly”

“I buy a sourdough demi and a seedy sourdough... so For the first time today I had Birdie's multi-grain. OMG So good. Haven't tried the double chocolate black cherry sour dough but its here waiting to be sampled! So glad you are there... ! Wish I could pick up Birdies Bread in more places.”

“Lunchtime $5 slice is decent. If you call in be prepared to scream into your phone or they will hang up on you.. Clubhouse and fries is poet good if you eat there. Leaving the takeout container closed will result in a soggy terrible meal.”

“Been reading comments . I’ve been buying Antoinette’s cheesecakes for years . I remember when she first started out in Dartmouth. I have to say, whenever there’s been a misunderstanding with my order, Antoinette has always gone above and beyond to treat me fairly And make things right. While there have been a few employees with a bit of a problem communicating with customers , Antoinette and her son , in my opinion, makes every effort to serve their customers . There will always be misunderstandings and people will always find reasons to complain but you can’t loose sight of the fact that Antoinette stands by her product and is very committed to providing value to her customers and has been known to truly service the product she sells. I’ve eaten cheesecake in every province in Canada and a lot places around the world and her cheesecake stands above anything I’ve ever eaten . We are lucky to have her stores !”

“Ate there for the first time last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the food & the experience.Keep up the great work ♡”

“One of the best ramen I've had.”

“pizza is not greasy, thin crust and very yummy...”

“The Pain au Chocolat is HUGE!! Recommend to share between two people. So fresh, flaky & tasty.

The almond Croissant is great too, still quite big and full of flavor.

Weekly species are fun. I last had the 'everything bagel' croissant, which has a herb & garlic cream cheese filling, with everything seasoning on the outside.

Friendly staff.

Like popping in to grab a bag of beans to take home, but street parking can be hard to find much of the time. There are only a handful of tables and it can be hard to get one on weekend mornings.

I wish they opened earlier on weekdays because 8am is too late for me to swing by on my way to work.”

“My family went there for a dinner and it was our first time at this restaurant. But thankfully, the staff were very accommodating and explained to us what were on the menu and helped us with our orders. The food was superb, fresh and delicious. This is by far the best restaurant in Dartmouth Crossing. Fast and excellent service, very clean restaurant and comfortable ambience.”

“Cafe Marco Polo delights on all fronts. A great selection of in-house baked good (the carrot cake is my favourite); lot's of sandwiches (Montreal smoked meat hits the spot every time); breakfast fare (their in-house breakfast sandwich is yummy!); and friendly, attentive staff. They feature an espresso roast that is one of my favourites on either side of the harbour. The space is great to hang out in—at times bustling, at others, peacefully quiet.”

“I am a huge fan of pretty much any menu choice Ronnie's has but was a little disappointed by my delivery order a couple of nights and while I realize it was an honest mistake my nachos arrived with no added chicken.”

“Found this gem of a place after living here for 5 years and searching for pizza that was as good as my home town. Well this is pretty close if not even better. Prices are also very reasonable!”

Tried to apologize for my loud voice but she said I hadn't been angry. Item delivered with fries and a massive smile.”
