The au jus that came with the beef dip was the real deal, and flavor to the max!

“A sincere thank you to the wonderful staff at Moxie's Grill & Bar (Nova Centre location). We booked a reservation for seven people over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The staff were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and meticulous about our dietary needs (our group is entirely vegan with additional allergies). The service was excellent, the food was impeccable, and our server (Nikita W.) was so kind and attentive during our visit. I appreciate her talent and professionalism. She is an asset in such a demanding industry. We will definitely return to this location in the future. Much love and gratitude to the staff at Moxie's Grill & Bar. You have exceeded our expectations. Kind regards, -C.R. MacDonald“

“Had such an amazing day at Darya! ❤️ Celebrating my victory of passing my exam, I came in excited for a mimosa tree, only to find out it was a weekend special. I was definitely a little disappointed but still happy to stay and celebrate.

What I didn’t know was that our server Keagan, went above and beyond and must have spoken to the manager, who kindly made an exception. Such a thoughtful surprise that completely made my day! Amazing service, amazing experience, and such a great reminder that little acts of kindness can mean so much. Thank you for making my celebration extra special! 🥂✨“

“As a person who travels alone a lot, I want to share my experiences about the awesome staff and great food that Le Rouge has to offer. While the menu is small it has something for everyone. Excellent apps , the most delicious steaks, seafood and the best Chocolate Cake. As a returning customer on the first night the Seth waiter /bartender ( recognized me and commented that I was here for my annual show. A year later he remembers my wine choice recommends a the best choice of a steak and of course my dessert taking great care in making sure my allergy to shrimp was never a threat. On my second night, again he recommends the Le Rouge burger that arrives hot and delicious and he tells me that my first choice of nachos contains a fish sauce that might contains shrimp he probably served dozens of customers but still remembered my allergy. I greatly appreciate that the staff was friendly with small talk and checking up me Seth and his new buddy Charbel were awesome to watch as they mixed up a constant array of drinks. With a great atmosphere, delicious food and supreme staff I give Le Rouge a 12 out 10 . I ate at Le Rouge for 6 nights and every meal was awesome 🤩“

“First time customers- there were four of us and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the halibut hodgepodge and the flavour was amazing. Cozy and beautiful environment. We will definitely be back!“

“Exceptional food and ambiance will definitely return.👌“

“Had fried chicken Benny…was awesome!“

“A Hidden Gem!

Reta's is a delightful spot where every dish bursts with flavor and the service is always warm and welcoming. From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It's a quiet, cozy place that lets you truly enjoy your meal and the company you're with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with amazing food!

I wish the plating of the duck dish would be a bit different. We couldn't enjoy the sauce much without ordering the sourdough bread. Also if spoons were provided without asking as the sauces go to waste and we cannot enjoy them with the fork so the amazing sauces are wasted.“

“Out of this world delicious deserts!And cocktails are refreshing and unique!👍👍👍“

“This was my first time at The Cannery, Bedford Row in downtown Halifax. I was greeted by friendly staff and my first thought was of the cleanliness of the restaurant and the staff were sharply dressed. The ambiance was chic and it was decorated in classy high end furnishings. I choose a both, yet still had a great view of Halifax harbour. The Braised Short Rib Pappardelle was cooked flawlessly and the sauce was tasty delicious. I look forward to the steak on my next visit. Mixologist Abi is amazing and pours the best tasting cocktails the city has to offer. His drinks please both the eye and the taste buds as he has a few tricks up his sleeve. Thanks again to everyone at The Cannery for a tasty meal and tasty drinks. See you all again soon. Cheers“
