Fabulous restaurant with equally fabulous food and service. Beautiful wine library, and superbly plated foods. Almost too beautiful to eat, but so delicious!

Amazingly creative food! Yes, the portions are small, but the flavors make up for that. The service was a bit slower than I'm used to, but fine dining is like that.
If you choose to visit Oxalis, release all preconceptions and enjoy your visit.

I had been surprised when dining here, I’ve heard good things. My husband and I were brought to the patio seating, it was beautiful and I love the aesthetic outside, very Dartmouth. Nicely secluded (and I believe dogs are welcome). However, do not wear heels. As a heels wearer, I’m used to the hills and potholes, but I was not expecting to walk on gravel and also be seated on it. I would guess no one was, it had looked like even the servers didn’t have the best footing in it. The chairs are comfortable though and they offer blankets to keep warm if there’s a chill. We both decided to get the four course meal and started with the picnic. As a starter, it was delicious. It looked a little different than I had seen afterwards and had been curious about some of the cured meats and where it came from (Sobeys multipack?). I loved the four course dinner, it’s a taster of everything else on their menu. At 106$, it was a great amount of food for me! I was full. The only things I didn’t care for was the cucumber soup, as a chilled soup, it was great, but I was already a little cold and it was a little too salty. The presentation was great for all the dishes! We loved the salmon pops, those were fun. The past was divine, if you love a mushroom pasta, that’s one to try (It’s no mushroom ravioli! 🐀✨) it had chanterelles and so buttery. Perfect. I did find the beef a bit salty, but that may be preference or just how it turned out that day. The dessert was extra sweet and delicious, the syrup poured over it was a nice touch but a little overboard and over powering near the end of it. It kind of made everything turn into slop and a wet mess. Not a bad thing, maybe I didn’t eat it fast enough. Overall it was a great unique experience and delicious. Our server was great, he was super sweet, accommodating and made us feel well kept! He had dropped good knowledge on the yummy food and made sure we knew what was what. 5/5 ⭐️! They recommend you have 2.5 hours for the course and also offer wine pairings, which maybe I’ll save for another time. I’d love to go back and see what changes they have for the fall. It’s a unique place and they have some seating inside and upstairs in the building, the front bathroom did feel a little messy, the water kind of sits on the sink area.

A couple of times a year....one mushroom makes an appearance....the shy and tasty Chanterelle. It can only be forgaged...and one restaurant in Dartmouth, Oxalis, makes a take-home meal worthy of such an auspicious moment. It is called a Boxalis” Dinner Pasta Kit: a cozy, house-made dinner for two that brings the forest to your fork.
Each dinner kit includes: – Freshly made tagliatelle for two – A portion of fresh chanterelles + ready-to-heat chanterelle cream sauce – House-baked focaccia with compound truffle butter – Tiramisu to share
All you need to do is cook the pasta, sauté the mushrooms, warm the sauce, and enjoy.
It was an experience worthy of its limited appearance. Thanks, Oxalis, for a quick and unique Sunday dining experience.

Incredible dining experience with professional chefs. Amazing dishes and a real treat.
The food was actually so beautiful we all had to take photos before we ate anything. It was so delicious we savoured every bite. The service was excellent and the server explained every meal in detail. We had a wonderful high end eating experience. Loved that they brought out surprise taster treats to try. Highly recommend this place.

✨ An Unforgettable Culinary Experience Filled With Pure Magic! ✨
I had the immense pleasure of dining at Oxalis for the first time with Andrea, and it truly exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I walked in, I was transported into a different world! This week, it’s a beautifully crafted tribute to Harry Potter. Every detail, from the decor to the ambiance, was thoughtfully woven into the theme, creating an experience that was both immersive and elegant.
The food? Simply extraordinary. Each dish was a perfect balance of finesse and delicate artistry. You could feel the care and intention behind every bite & flavors that were both comforting and refined, with a touch of creative magic that made the entire evening unforgettable. It wasn’t just a meal; it was a heartfelt experience that celebrated both food and imagination.
This is, without a doubt, the best dining experience I’ve had in Nova Scotia. I left with a full heart, a delighted palate, and deep gratitude for the passion and talent of the team behind this evening.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly, highly recommend. I can’t wait to return!
