“me and my wife just ordered two bowls of seafood chowder. hands down the best chowder you can get on the East Coast. everybody's so friendly that works there and they go up and beyond for you. I give these guys a five star rating“

“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!“

“Today was a Good Day. I am a member of Empowered Woman Blossom ( Under the Umbrella of Hope Blooms). Today we were out for our ladies brunch, we had reservations for the Driftwood next door, but we told there was no reservation for 10 ( we had the confirmation email.) with them, very rudely. Enough of that.
Next Door was Edna’s, so we had 10 senior ladies looking for a place near by. A lovely lady Cora from Edna’s, welcomed us in with open arms. The Food was delicious, beautifully plated and flavors , beyond words. It was a warm welcoming atmosphere, the staff were great and Cora, what a beautiful person. So somethings are meant to happen,
Thank You Edna’s for a very pleasant experience. We will be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had almost given up on finding parking in the area (super busy due to a music festival) but are VERY glad we did not give up.
The Brussel sprouts were some of the best we'd EVER had, and the bernaise and the chili combined for amazing flavours. The burgers (Pig Mac & deluxe) were tasty, juicy and full of flavour, and the fries were fresh cut and delicious.
Great selection of beers, and the service was attentive and friendly.“

“RFM is fabulous! I absolutely love the vegan eggs benny breakfast.😋 The burgers are delicious too. in fact, everything is delicious. The mac n cheese, butter ckn, the cookies, the deserts, the cheeses and dips... all awesome. One of my fave places in Halifax. Right at the top of the list. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing spot for drinks and food!!“

“Our first time at gio was fantastic, we will be back. the staff was very friendly. Thank you.“

“Great food, atmosphere & service“

“We went for Mother’s Day brunch today, it was so good!!! The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious! We are already planning our next visit. Thanks for the great experience 😊“

“Your food always looks so colourful and exciting!! I know 100% it is super tasty too. Your love for community and fellow man is admirable.“

“What an amazing night! The small plates are thoughtfully executed and bursting with flavour and texture. Everything we had was 10/10.

The themed cocktail menu is unique and creative and they were well balanced and complex.

The wine list, we learned is curated with wines that are exclusive to the restaurant and imported by their sommelier. Bonus, we were there on a Wednesday and all bottles were $20 off. We had never had a wine from Czech Republic before!

Can’t wait for our next visit.“

“very good food and friendly staff“

“We stopped in for some Sushi while travelling from Newfoundland and were not only surprised on how great the food was but also the service. We will definitely be back!!“

“🌿UPDATED:
They serve the best coctails in the city! Amazing taste and unbelievable, surprising ingredients! Respect! 💫

🙌THE FIRST REVIEW:
Ok, I suppose that Kismet was one of the Halifax's pearls...
But, from person who was there for the first time... I don't know.... The desert was terribly...cheap 😒 Sorry, guys, that's true. I'm not complaining, just don't serve the desert if you don't know how to do that.

Thought, cocktails were extremely good!!💫💫💫 Bartender was nice and service was awesome!🌟 Thanks for that!💕

One more thing... interior... Cheap old white plastic siding on the walls? seriously?... Please... It's 2025 now!
Btw, your exterior looks so good! Just paint the walls and ceiling inside, the same color, make the space more cozy and fresh.
Anyway, thank you!
Your team is great!❤️❤️❤️“

“just had the most amazing dinner we've had in a long time. from start to finish service, presentation everything was on point. highly recommend!! 💯 percent Scrumdiddlyumptious“

“Beautiful restaurant in an excellent location. The staff and very nice and happy to have any answers that you may have. It is a fancier restaurant (maybe dress up a bit) but isn’t pretentious. Our food came quickly, the drinks were very good (paid for 2 because it was so good) and we would definitely come back. Great place for a birthday, anniversary or special celebration.“

“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 ....“

“If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, The Adda Indian Eatery is a delightful spot that doesn’t disappoint. We tried their chole bhature and a cup of chai, and both were a hit. The chole was rich, well-spiced, and perfectly balanced—not overly oily, which is often the case elsewhere. The bhature came out hot and fluffy, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and softness inside. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you feel right at home. To top it off, their **tea** was just as impressive—brewed strong with aromatic spices, slightly sweet, and served piping hot. It paired beautifully with the meal and rounded off the experience nicely. The ambiance was cozy with a casual, homely vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're in the mood for a hearty, flavorful Indian meal, The Adda is definitely worth a visit. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“Sitting 🪑 at the bar with Donnie serving us was a great experience. Great recommendation of the seafood chowder sir! We will be back before heading home at the end of the week“

“My new favorite sushi place in the city , a little hidden view from the street you come down some stairs and just order everything at the counter and sit after ( aka the servers wont take your order at the table but they do deliver the food at your table ) you pay upfront , it’s practical unless you have free room for desert.

We sat and the ambiance is like manga style with a lot a books in Japanese around us , dont get fooled by the decoration because the food is AMAZING trust me I have been to many fancy Japanese restaurants and this one is just as delicious ! We ordered a little bit of everything my personal opinion on the hot sushis ( smoke salmon ) not my cup of tea but my date loved it . And the seaweed salad very tasty, we almost got back again to the restaurant 2 days later because we loved it so much .

So guys if you are looking for a delicious sushi this is the place ! ( i am not even sponsoring this lol ) out of true enjoyment of a lovely night out“

“Got a pizza and caesar salad to go. Love the paper plate pizza art. Ordering takeout wasn't the easiest since I got a busy signal, then went in person, then had to just go up and ask if it was ready when I thought maybe enough time had passed. Food itself was great, though.“

“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.“

“Sooo happy I discovered this place today! Excellent customer service! Will be back 🤗“

“There is a plentiful and delicious menu here for your average vegetarian! The service is great. Our server was pleasant and attentive.

We chose the patio, as it was a mild evening. There are higher stools and comfortable cushioned lower chairs to choose from. The music was a selection of 70's rock & folk, and was perhaps a bit on the loud side.

There is a broad selection of house made juices and smoothies, as well as some wines, beers, and soft drinks.

My husband's portion of tofu steaks were smaller than expected, but delicious.

The green poutine was based in hand-cut cubed hashbrowns rather than fries. It was brimming with veggies, including a delightfully crisped kale, 2 kinds of cabbage, three kinds of onions, and mushrooms; with a black-pepper forward mushroom gravy, and nutritional yeast as the vegan option (alternative to their cheese option).

Dessert options are limited to a variety of cookies.

Having a lot of food sensitivities and allergies, it's very hard, if not impossible, to find a place where I can safely eat anything other than plain fries, so there wasn't really anything on their menu that I could eat without literally picking through, but the same is true for any restaurant I've tried.

Overall, it's a worthwhile place to try for anyone interested in vegetarian food!“

“Awesome, friendly service and amazing food every time. Uber messed up an order and Talay went over & above to make it right. When we're craving Thai food, it's our first and only call!“

“This is the new best pad thai I've ever had. Incredible. The portion size was massive so I took like half of it home and I have no regrets. Well worth the money.

My spouse got the green chicken curry and also loved it. Great food, would come back again.“

“We ordered something like 75 large pizzas and 75 large salads, each of several varieties for our event. Salvatore's had excellent communication, the timing was great, they were easy to coordinate with and get ahold of, and most importantly the food was excellent and fresh when it arrived. They even picked up the big salad bowls from our venue the next day -- thank you! Really appreciate the great experience and highly recommend!“

“I consider this to be the best Swiss Chalet in HRM. Great consistency and quality. Marci was our fantastic waitress. She was engaging, polite and efficient. Thank you for being yourself Marci.“

“Good price and good tastes. I liked all dishes that I choosed. Staff are very kind and nice.“

“Dunno how anyone could not want to eat here. The food is great, the portion sizes are amazing! I had the surf and turf with calamari as a starter and LOVED it.“

“The best Thai food I’ve had in Halifax in a very long time. Highly recommended for service, cuisine, prices, customer satisfaction. Excellent meal. Will certainly go again.“

“This was actually my first time having Ramen that didn't come out of a package from the supermarket and it was amazing. The pork was so tender and a little sweet. The broth was incredible. We had the crispy chicken to start and I loved the pickled daikon so much they let me buy a container of it. Our waitress (I am sure I'm not spelling her name right but I think it was Shengshen) was so kind, cheerful and pleasant. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Excellent homemade food! Filled our bellies with healthy homemade breakfast! Staff made us feel so welcome and have huge warm hearts. Left feeling full in our hearts….. excellent way to start our day!“

“This is an absolute hidden gem. Every time we go (which is quite often) we are not disappointed. The quality of food is excellent, and the staff are wonderful. There's a young man who works there as a waiter, he is hands down the best in the industry. Consistently goes above and beyond to ensure you feel welcomed and well looked after. Honestly, give this man a raise because his service is unmatched. Excellent personality and really makes it an enjoyable experience all around. It's a lovely spot to take family as well. Thank you USTA!“

“We came in at a very busy time and were sat at a table that only gets seated when absolutely needed. My meal came out with excess oil (mind you it was still great) and Tiana was sooo great! She was honest, friendly, fun and truly made the experience! One of the best waitresses we’ve had, thank you Tiana!“

“Amazing live music atmosphere!“

“This was a really cool spot. I did some looking on Reddit before going for dinner and didn't see this place as a recommendation - ended up trying it out as we happened to walk by. Very glad we tried it though! Our server was very knowledgeable and made recommendations based on flavour profiles which you don't see often. Everything was priced similar to other bars but the ingredients were clearly high quality. We had the beet salad, (bright, fresh, zesty), lamb burger, (hearty, rich, flavourful), and salmon (crispy, light, balanced). I'd definitely come back.“

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

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

“Absolutely excellent!! Lovely staff and a lovely owner as well. It's not very attractive inside, so I would hesitate to bring friends - because atmosphere matters to me...“

“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.“

“Meilleur steak et service en ville, je vous le conseille fortement 😍“

“They host a lot for CycleHalifax. Great beer selection.“

“One of the best pizza places in the northend! Wings are so good too.. great deals.. The owner John is also super nice ! ! #supportlocal“

“Great spot to try out bouldering. Have been there a few times with my teen and pre-teen. Facility is awesome, staff are very helpful and patient.“

“The ambiance is stunning, with lovely lighting that creates a warm atmosphere. The sushi is incredibly fresh! I also appreciate the charming teapot and the beautiful flooring. I enjoyed a solo dinner and am truly grateful to have met all of you! So inclusive !! Best, Founder of #7GG All my luv Rebecca Wall“
