“The food!!!! We had the Let the chef cook for you! Best value and most delicious meal you will ever have! Having the chef come out with the waiter to explain what was in each dish / course was also fun. They took extra care because of allergies too! And of course get a fancy cocktail, you won’t regret it 😉“

“Huge shout out to your server Kaitlin (I hope I spelt her name correctly. She really made our night. Today my husband is celebrating one year cancer free, and she treated us like family providing exquisite and delicious meals, she also sent us home with a some cherry cheese cake on the house. And to Anton ( hope I spelt his name correctly as well) for coming over to say hello and remember us from our last visit. To say that we are beyond happy would be an understatement. The service, the food and the welcoming staff truly separates this restaurant from all the others. Thanks again for making my husbands day, you really made him feel special and loved. We will be telling all our friends of the truly 5star service we received tonight. Thanks again, We will be back soon! Carrie & Ron“

“Waverly Road in Dartmouth is a great place to eat .“

“Had a deadly time with the b’ys“

“This location is beautiful! Quiet street, lots of parking, beautiful private yard on the lake. Main floor has a cash bar option and kitchen to bring your own food/caterer in.“

“Have gone here 3 time so far. New years, Fabulously rich and a random night. Great service, friendly and fast. Only downfall if they stop serving food at 9 and their food is very good. Always have a good time will continue to go on occasion.“

“This place was fantastic! We had seen lots of recommendations for it online, and decided to try it out during our two days in Halifax. We were lucky to get a reservation; make sure to book early, they were packed by 5:30pm and stayed packed the entire evening.

Food and service were both wonderful. We knew we wanted to try the raw scallop and the ahi tuna tartar, and our server was able to recommend cocktails to pair with our food. We also tried the incredible perch they had at the time. For an upscale restaurant, the portions were more than fair. The scallop was more of an appetizier, but the tartar and perch were both full meals in and of themselves. Everything was well cooked, the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming.

Definitely a great time and worth booking a 5pm dinner reservation just to get a taste!“

“We had an outstanding dining experience at The Press Gang that was enhanced by our server, Lindsey. We started with oysters and yellow-fin tuna. Both dishes were scrumptious. Our mains were the Tuscan Atlantic Salmon and Seafood Risotto. Both were excellent and Lindsay suggested the perfect wine pairing. This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have had!“

“I can hardly express how wonderful my experiences have been at the Village TapHouse. The team here consistently delivers exceptional customer service and fosters engaging conversations that make every visit memorable. Tim has truly created something special with this place, and it’s clear that the staff genuinely care about their patrons. Highly recommend!“

“Locally sourced produce with an organic flair, food was solid.
We had the bruschetta to start and the salmon for main. Finished the meal with the apple tart.
The salmon was the highlight of the meal. The tart was undercooked and chewy not light and crispy.“

“woke company. if you don't agree with them they will delete your comment.“

“Such a great family spot. We had kids and dogs and all were welcome.“

“Came up from Ontario last Friday evening for a long weekend in Halifax and a friend insisted we try Stillwell, and honestly I'm so glad we did. The smash burger was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy all the way through, exactly what you want after a day of exploring the waterfront. The staff were relaxed but attentive, checking in without hovering, which made the whole vibe feel like a neighbourhood spot rather than a tourist trap. Already looking up flights back just so I can eat there again.“

“Got a gift card for Christmas and went to the Halifax branch to claim, the figured the card was legit but wasn't being accepted by the system the staff was very gracious and gave us the pizza for free as it wasn't on us that the system wasn't working, kudos and thanks for great service, pizza was also very good.“

“My son and I attended the John Prine Tribute Show Saturday night; the talent was spectacular and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, during the music break, I became ill very suddenly (non alcohol related), and got sick as I tried to reach the washroom. I was so embarassed and upset, but a lovely customer and the owner were incredible. Emma and Karen made sure I was well taken care of, cleaning me up, calming me down, rubbing my back, getting me water and wet/dry cloths. I can't thank you both enough! Karen, I will definitely be back for another show; you were so kind. Emma - if you see this - your students are very lucky to have you in their corner. You both rock!! Tracy“

“First time... no regrets! Food was awesome! Great atmosphere! Our server Sky was amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable! My wife and I will definitely be back and recommend!“

“Great place to get away from the riff-raff of normal pubs, and just socialize with normal people.“

“Came upon Stillwell almost by accident. There were a lot of places to get a beer in the area but the Beergarden offered a unique and serene outdoor setting. The staff were great, the beers varied and delicious and the food options perfect. So glad we wandered by!“

“We celebrated a birthday at Montana’s and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for our celebration. James was an amazing server & helped make the occasion special and ensured everything went smoothly. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Montana’s for birthdays and family gatherings! 🎉🎂🍽️“

“Great local watering hole. A nice mix of neighborhood folks frequent this 'every(wo)man's' spot. Beer is (comparitively) cheap, and the bartenders are rad.“

“Some of the best Wings I’ve had. Just the right amount of crispy, lots of sauce, and plenty of sauces to choose from. I had the Buffalo Ranch, and highly recommend it. Friendly staff. Will most definitely return.“

“🤟I haven't been back in a bit but recommend it to many it holds maybe 100 or so but it's like being at a home party with your best friends, support local please“

“This is our local taproom. I just love this place. Great bunch of people...staff and patrons. A great place to relax and enjoy some good conversation. The beer is the best in Halifax if you're into craft beer. Always a great selection and the beers rotate frequently so you never get tired of drinking the same thing....unless of course you want to. They have some specialty snacks to enjoy with your favorites beer too. They do not serve food, but you're welcome to bring in whatever your heart desires, in to eat. Jesse's Pizza and CHKN CHOP are just steps away.A couple of my favorite beers are 12 Years to Zion, DOA and Flat Black Jesus. I'm sure you'll have your own favorites.“

“Clearly the best bar in Halifax. Cheap drinks, great tunes, super attractive staff, and the best trivia night in the city.“

“Popped into levelbar after an afternoon of socializing.
The food - for pub food, was definitely on the higher quality side. Everything has good flavour and was well balanced in terms of salt. I had the chicken wings and an order of fries. Lots of food even though they are both side plates.
Service was fast and friendly.
The atmosphere was chill, it’s nice when places do a good job of acoustics and set the place up so sound is absorbed and you can hear the people you are hanging out with.
Would definitely return.“

“I was meeting my cousin for the first time in many years and he selected this British Pub. Food was excellent, with one of the best chowders I have had for a long time. All the typical pub fare you would expect including a range of pies, curry and a very good special - Lamb Shank. Good beer menu and a decent bar/games room downstairs.“

“Wow so so impressed! My dinner was amazing!!! There was a small issue with my butter for my lobster and it was replaced immediately and my dinner was taken off my bill! I didn’t ask for any discount it was just automatically done on the bill! Unexpected and surprised! Thank you will highly recommend!!staff were lovely! Great job keg Halifax downtown!!

“We celebrated an engagement and the hostess arranged for appetizers, prosecco and all the accoutrements in perfect timing for our family toast of congratulations. The main course and special cocktails were excellent and up to our high expectations! The blueberry buckle gifted by the restaurant to the newly engaged coupler was delicious and most appreciated. Also, loved the atmosphere, warm fire blazing and great service!“

“Mozza sticks as big as your dinner fork & crustless cheesecake whipped to perfection - a true 10/10 !“
