“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!”
“Great atmosphere, great food and service. I would come back for sure.”
“YiLan has amazing staff and wonderful food. Our server went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. It had a very cozy family-run atmosphere and it's clear to see the love that goes into their food. Highly highly recommend!”

“Today's obituary :The colonel is died, he was KO'ed by radish chicken. This is hands down the best chicken in Halifax.
Better than Popeyes, or the CHKN CHOP.”
“My hubby and I have eaten breakfast at your restaurant two different times and both times enjoyed it very much. However, I have a question. As you go through the door u see the sign Canadian Owned and also Truly Canadian. Then why are you not using French's catsup instead of Heinz. In our home we use only French's and it is Canadian. Thank you!!.”

“Oh my God — where do I even start! Everything about this place is phenomenal. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with the warmest smile and such elegant gestures. The ambiance is so unique and inviting.We went for breakfast and it was an absolute delight! The banana bread was heavenly — the aroma and taste were just perfect. We tried the Egg Benny and the Beef Naan Wrap, and both were incredibly delicious. To top it all off, he even offered us a gut health drink after the meal — such a thoughtful touch!
Our hearts and stomachs were full. It’s truly overwhelming how amazing this place is. A must-try spot — we’re definitely coming back! ❤️”

“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.”
“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!”
“Had an absolutely incredible meal at Au Liban in Halifax! Every single dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — from the tabbouleh and hummus to the grilled halloumi and sujuk in pomegranate sauce. The warm pita was nonstop and perfect with everything. Amazing food, great service, and such a welcoming vibe. A masterclass from their culinary team. Can’t wait to go back!”
“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”
“We loved the seafood and the bread was delicious. The table (furniture) looked cafeteria style and the music was contemporary. I was hoping for something more flappers style to suit the name.”

“Stop letting all the muscle cars park outside your store till 10pm or later. They all rip out of your drive way and down the highway making so much noise waking up the neighborhood and driving irrationally. I assume the Tims owner is a car guy. But this needs to stop and complaints have been sent to corporate.”
“The staff here is fabulous, there is one team member Anju, that works here and every morning she makes me smile, and starts my day off great. She is always smiling and wishes me a good day or weekend! Thanks for making my day start off bright!! The food is always fresh and well presented. This is the absolute best Tim's ever.”
“The restaurant is predominately consistent with my orders. The food is usually fresh with their spicy meat being the best. Employees are friendly as well and they will help you if there was a mistake with your order on their side. One of them being Baljeet Kaur who always greets me whenever I enter. The music the staff plays also adds to the atmosphere making it cool spot!”
“Burger King Lower Sackville is a great place to eat. The restaurant is clean. The staff is very friendly and it is nice to see a manager working along side of his employees. The food id always hot. Alot of times I use coupons and never have a problem. This is my favorite place to eat.”
“An excellent Don's, one of the best in HRM in my opinion. I find the staff all friendly and quick. My order is always made promptly, correctly, and warm. This McDonalds is typically very clean, with plenty of parking. Location isn't ideal for walking, but great when you're driving around the area.”
“Excellent service and quality. I was really impressed with the staff, specifically Robyn and Jen, who went above and beyond to provide great service with a smile. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was great, and the food was spot on. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Got 3 mcflurries and 2 pops at the drive through. Service at this location is amazing; the staff are incredibly curious and friendly, a type of service I have to say you don't get at very many places anymore. I hope the staff are treated well by the owner, because I was very impressed at how they spoke and did their job. We got our order quickly even though they were steady. Easy 5/5 stars for me.”
“I visit this place every now and then, and it’s one of the cleanest McDonald’s I’ve ever been to. The cafe is spacious, with many tables and seats to choose from, and you can also sit outside. My sister Daria and like the fact that there’s a strong glass between me and the road, making me feel safer and more comfortable while eating.
I always order from the pad, and my orders have always been correct. The best food here is probably the French fries and caramel ice cream.”
“My husband i visited this branch on the valentine day. We haven't had the burgers since ages ! We used to eat it on another country where we lived before. My God! We loved it and it brought our fond memories of older days. The taste; texture and smell was exactly the same. The sandwiches were ordered and came very quick. We started devourering it as soon as they came. We ordered one single triple burger and a junior meal with cheese sticks. The sandwiches were warm and had tons of freshly sliced tomatoes slices, and onions and salad leaves - lettuce. Crunchy.
I think I was really craving it. 😆 🤣 😂.
We had a free refillable drinks. The chips were very nice and the cheese sticks were stringy. The place was not very busy. Bin needed to be emptied as it was over flowing. We did complete a survey for experience and ordered again, getting a free burger meal. Yayyy.
There was a Wednesday offer of a meal. Which we may go - next Wednesday.
Had good valentine dinner.
Will come back here again.”
“After a long night and a hangover we came looking for a cure (delicious food). When we got to pure and simple we were greeted by Kate, who had great energy and brought energy we need this morning! Oh and the food was delicious”
“Had a great dining experience. Our server, Connor, described the dishes and made some recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed all of it, drinks, food, service, and atmosphere.”

“We just enjoyed a phenomenal 3-course Valentines Day dinner! It was my husband and I’s first time visiting, as we just moved to NS. We were so impressed with the food- noting that the skill of the chef is very obvious. We especially loved the appetizers. Will definitely be back!”
“This is such a quaint spot, and the food is DELICIOUS! My husband and I went there for a dinner date and took the BBQ with the works. It was something on my bucket list to try, and it exceeded my expectation. The service was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely make it a point to come back everything we visit Halifax!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !! The Prospect Road location is going to be such a well loved location - so much so that, I don’t think the staff realized how much of the community would flock there. They’re BUSY, and out of ingredients, but the staff there were HUSTLING around, smiling and getting orders out that they could. I expect delays at the beginning. They never expected so much traffic, give them patience folks and expect a mess up in your order possibly or wait until they are fully loaded and in the flow with the area. Otherwise incredible sub (despite picking off a couple things I didn’t ask for), the bread was amazing, still 10/10 would go back, and didn’t even care it was chaotic. Inside though although small, its essentially a novelty convenience store with local goodies. They have a little bakery section with homemade stuff, the moon mist fudge was incredible and a must try! They also had a bunch of “Jones Soda” flavours that I’ve never seen before anywhere around here - even at the big candy stores, (like s’mores and the fallout edition one) which was pretty cool!! They still have ice cream and everything that was at multi scoop - just with a lot more options and delicious fresh options to go. Something for ANYONE at a really reasonable price. Prospect needed this so much - thank you, and good luck with your continued success! 🎉♥️”
“The other people on here are right about the Tonkotsu Ramen. This probably exceeds most ramen-only shops. I don't usually drink the soup but I find myself almost polishing it off. It's light but filled with umami flavor and the grilled pork is amazing too. They didn't take any shortcuts with the onsen egg too, it has the shoyu flavor it's supposed to and just slightly underdone. The atmosphere is chill and homely and service is quick. You can leave in 15-20 minutes or stay for however long. Definitely coming back and trying other stuff on the menu!”
“A very traditional British pub experience in an old, character building. We were a party of five and our food ranged from traditional pub fare (fish and chips, French onion soup), to short-order (burger and a Reuben sandwich) to East coast seafood (cod cakes). Everything was exceptional. We went as a family, with three kids, easily accommodated in the basement pub space (as opposed to the upstairs restaurant space).”
“Our first time at gio was fantastic, we will be back. the staff was very friendly. Thank you.”
“Our family dined at this fabulous restaurant a number of times and what a truly amazing experience it was. The food, the atmosphere, the service was excellent. They treat every customer as special. We definitely will be back to enjoy their wonderful food. We order online as well, prompt delivery - awesome.”

“I hired Tareks for catering on this week and OH MY GOODNESS! Fantastic as always; Incredibly fresh, flavourful and so easy! I told him how many people and he gave suggestions and was the least stressful catering order I have ever placed. It arrived hot and fresh and perfectly on time. So much food we all had a second plate and still had leftovers at the end. Highly recommend Tareks for any time lunches, dinners or catering. Has to be one of the best in the city, not one complaint from my group of 15 people! He even called afterwards to check in that everything was received - absolutely amazing service! Hasn’t changed over the years the quality never diminished just always a huge hit, everytime. Thank you Tareks, top notch as always - much love from Lisa at the Abbie. ❤️”
“Just had an early dinner with a friend here, and it was AMAZING! My first time eating fresh sushi in a restaurant (only previous experience was eating California rolls from a supermarket), and it was a thoroughly pleasurable meal. Fast/friendly service, delicious food…they even included an extra platter of sushi on the house! Highly recommend!!”
“Stopped in with hubby and the doggies for lunch. Was thrilled we could have the dogs with us at the table on the patio and that there were water bowls provided. Service was a little slow and unfortunately our order got lost and it took a while to get our food. Kitchen tried to rush the meal to make up for the delay and our spinach dip was still cold in the middle. Overall the food was good and I would return to try the food again.”
“This is the best ramen shop in the province! We’ve been to every one we can find, and these guys take the cake! We drive all the way over from Eastern Passage, more often then I’d like to admit, just to get a bowl! We’ve been doing this since 2016 :) Try the Hokkaido ramen! Extra spicy if you can handle it ;)”

Fine Dining
“We went for Dine Around 2026, but not our first visit to Darya. The menu is consistently excellent, with surprising and always delicious combinations of flavors. We went for the mantı which delicious. The star of this year's Dine Around menu though is the lamb adana, an incredible mix of textures and flavors. As always service was excellent, personable but not intrusive. Our group of 6 was very well taken care of throughout. Thanks to the staff for an excellent evening.”
“1st time we have been to the Peacock Wine Bar,but it won't be the last. Great wine , food and service. We had the fondue. Been a long time since we had one. Delicious and fun. Great variety of food to dunk. Maddie our server's recommendations for wine were spot on.”
“We had lunch at Drift for my birthday. What a lovely experience. The service and food were exceptional. It has been a few years since we ate at Drift. This experience will bring us back for dinner soon. The cod au gratin soup was amazing. And my wife loved the salmon tartar.”
“I had a wonderful experience shopping at Nespresso Halifax Wednesday evening. The staff were very friendly and gave excellent recommendations. I often buy “knock off” pods (not nespresso brand) to save money but I had such a positive in store experience I will be switching.”

“Loved my visit
Went yesterday, and even with the crowd, the staff was quick and efficient. Absolutely delicious. Service and quality both were perfect. Highly recommend! I like the way of talking with me in the rush time and very polite nature that guys who is serving the item.”
“The environment was really nice I just sat in the corner doing my homework, and it felt so cozy. It was my first time trying the matcha cheesecake — it was good, I also got the matcha latte to go. I prefer sweeter so I added 5 pumps of sugar — it was super delicious!”
“We had the pleasure of eating at Bird’s Nest today, Chicken Club Sandwiches (and we have our usual cup of coffee everyday there too) The food is outstanding, based on fresh seasonal ingredients clearly put together by a chef that has a true passion for food! The service was fantastic as always, and their staff is so friendly, and they know our usual orders by now. Really recommend this Café to anyone - family, couples and business lunches, Bird’s Nest Cafe make everyone feel a part of them. Thank you Beatrix (Bonni) and Morne’ Botha”
“I wish I had a picture of the milkshake I ordered. It was literally the best milkshake I’ve ever had, and I’m over 40 years old so that means something. I’ll be going back, maybe just before I see a movie. 👏”
“Super Reliable kausap lalo na pag dating sa oras! Masarap ang lumpia siksik at ndi puro hangin at wrapper. We like their pansit, ndi dry at luto ang gulay ndi matigas. We like their BBQ super malambot! keep up the good work, Ala Eh Eatery Crew. wag kayo magbabago kahit dumami customers nyo. Dont sacrifice you quality. More Customers to come!”

“All I can say is WOW! What a feast—every course (all eight of them) was fantastic! Watching the chefs, sous-chefs, and wait staff was like watching a choreography. And the wine… the best Pinot I’ve ever had 💕! Mystic in Halifax, you did not let us down.”
“Favourite restaurant in Halifax. Consistently exquisite meals and incredible service!”
“We tried Chicking tonight after hearing others rave about it, we were not disappointed! The chicken was AMAZING and the king sauce super delicious! We will absolutely be back!”
“hands down the best chicken burger in town . will be making bliss a regular place in my travels downtown .awesome food and staff.”
“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...”
“woke company. if you don't agree with them they will delete your comment.”
“Delicious! Had a veggie burrito with refried beans, mushrooms, rice, guacamole, etc - sooo good. And fast! Dartmouth location.”
“Service was fantastic, it isn’t a true sit down restaurant but the service feels like it is. Very friendly staff and got our food very quick.
The food was amazing, the Mac and cheese was great and my Nashville sandwich was fantastic although it definitely had some kick.
The atmosphere was cozy but comfortable and felt right for the type of restaurant it is.
Overall would definitely recommend.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and I would say the best Thai food in Halifax. Very authentic and rich flavours.”
“Absolutely delicious sushi, our new “go to” sushi restaurant whenever we come into the city! Very accommodating with regard to peanut/sesame allergy and gf options. Generous portions, fresh, tasty maki, outstanding rolls, friendly service, cosy atmosphere. We found very reasonable underground parking close by which is great.”
“We chose to enjoy the Valentines menu option with paired wines. It was fabulous! Lovely menu choices with beautiful flavors and wine pairing. Well done! Thanks for making our date night special.”
“Cool vibe with many beers on tap and two lines from cask. There are a good selection of styles (lager, pale ale, sour and stout). Our party had lagers and ales and they were all delicious.
The food here is interesting and excellent. Our party has an order of wings, the cordon Bleu sandwich and okonomiyaki fries. All were well prepared, well seasoned and had great texture. The fried chicken pieces were served very hot and had a beautiful crispy crust. The fries were nicely done with appropriate sauces and a generous topping of nori and katsuobushi.”
“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse”
“Meilleur steak et service en ville, je vous le conseille fortement 😍”
“My husband and I were visiting from Ontario and wanted to try this place out, the food was amazing! Our server was also so friendly and service was prompt. I am allergic to gluten and there was lots on the menu that worked with my dietary restrictions.”
“My husband and I went to Sapori a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best time ever. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of food, and the drinks but this review is about the service. Top notch, can’t be beat. We were treated to a couple of little extras hand delivered by the chef himself. He went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time and enjoying everything. The waitress was also incredible. We felt so spoiled, and we want to let all of our friends know how delicious the authentic Italian food was. We started with the Antipasto Italiano which was incredible, and followed in perfect time with Aranici which was crispy and tasty. For our man course we had Chicken Parmigiana & Fettucceine Lemoine both devine and delicious! Somehow we managed to fit in Tiramisu for dessert which was fantastic! We really enjoyed the Limoncello as well. Incredible food and amazing service. Thank you for a wonderful night. Looking forward to the next!”
“I ordered Moussaka, with Greek roasted potatoes and a salad. My Mom had two types of souvlaki, with potatoes, rice, and salad. Compliments to the chef- EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! We ordered fresh Rice Pudding for dessert which was the best!! Hats off to “Jimmy” for making our night special and our server “Dimitri” (I believe that was his name), who made our experience great!! I would recommend this dining establishment 100% ! I can’t wait to come back to the city because this place is now definitely in my rotation in my Halifax restaurants!!”
“Went to this restaurant a few weeks ago. The Pho spring rolls and rice wrap was incredible! First time ever trying pho. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to go back. I think it’s my new fav place in the city. The staff were so kind, sweet and very attentive too. The restaurant is lovely. 5 stars for me 🤩”
“My wife and I had dinner here this past Saturday. Our first but not last visit to Ragazzi. The service and atmosphere was wonderful and our meals were absolutely delicious. We can't wait to go back.”
“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.”
“The 5 Fishermen restaurant was amazing! The food, the atmosphere and the staff were all great. The manager even went to every table to check on the customers…to me, that is over and above service. We had the prime rib that was melt in your mouth fantastic. I know it will definitely be on our list of places to eat when we return to Halifax.”
“This was one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
The staff accommodated my request to serve half a meatball hero and box the second serving.
Half of the sandwich was more than enough for a quick lunch.
The service is great, the restaurant is interesting, and the food is awesome.”
“Went there a few times with my husband and friends. Very quickly became one of our favourite spot! Jordan definitely knows what he’s doing and is great with recommendations! A must try!”
“the GOAT for pizza and hero's. love the weekly specials, every pizza I've tried is fantastic, no complaints. The hero's are also great and elevated by the house made bun its served on. Don't miss out on the cannoli's as a sweet treat for dessert.
cannot comment on atmosphere or service since i only ever do take out, but when i walk in I'm always welcomed by the staff in a very friendly manner. Toni needs to start offering his hotdogs too”

“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”
“Great little brunch spot. Good coffee and nice menu options. Disappointed that they use processed cheese slices though.”
“My friend's and I recently had lunch at La Piazza. The food was absolutely delicious, the service exemplary and the atmosphere is very cozy. The cheesecake is delicious but a tad over priced, as were all the deserts, in my opinion. All in all, a very nice experience and we will definitely be going back for our monthly Ladies Lunch.”
“We came to Montana’s for lunch last week and had such a great experience thanks to Kayla and Darcy! From the moment we sat down, they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They checked in at just the right times, made sure our drinks were always topped up, and were quick with anything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell they really care about giving good service — they were upbeat, professional, and made the whole lunch feel relaxed and enjoyable.
It’s always nice when good food is paired with even better service. Kayla and Darcy definitely made our visit extra pleasant. We’ll absolutely be back!”
“Great set of pinball machines, great staff and amazing drinks :)”
“Some of the best South Korean food I've had inside or outside South Korea. Cannot recommend enough!!!”
“Dined here for a friend's birthday. Not a sushi lover but there are so many other options, I was very satisfied. Not in my budget to go here often, but I would for a special occasion.”
“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.”
“Our server was great! Carly was friendly, she had a warm smile for us and very patient with some of our group coming in late.
She kept the drinks flowing and checked in often. I wish all servers could be her!!
Thanks Carly for the great service. We will look for you next time!! 💕”
“Wow! The best Indian food we have had in Nova Scotia! We had both classic butter chicken and the mango chicken and both were so good we took home the sauce that was left over! And great value - with tip for 4 was under $120 - highly recommend.”

“great meal and great service today. My son had a yummy grilled cheese”
“Food was great as usual. Service was excellent. Our server, Jenna, was so pleasant, knowledgable and attentive. The food came out quickly, even quicker than a Tim Horton's drive-thru or in-house at any "fast food" restaurant. Very impressed.”

“Love this place everything is amazing, staff is knowledgeable and nice, ambulance is great, food is terrific and I'm addicted to the muscles with a spicy cilantro sauce. So good! 5 stars. I been here several times always a great experience”
“Large selection of teas, we took our steeped tea to go. You can buy loose tea and accessories etc. Also there was lots of stationary, stickers, and different craft items you would not see at a craft stores. It was pretty neat.”
“1st time here in Halifax & found this place on Tiktok. visiting from Regina, SK.. amazing desserts..”
“A little disappointed in this place. There’s a guy across the street cursing out people while we ate outside. The staff asked me not to call the Police and are not willing to do anything. I posted a pic of the guy that will ruin your outdoor experience at this place.”
“My wife and I have gone to Canton Gardens for almost 30 years. The food is excellent and they use quality ingredients in all their dishes. Their stir fried dishes are made only with fresh vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, carrots, snow peas, and onions. None of the vegetables are frozen. My wife and I both love their kung po chicken, chicken with black bean sauce, and curry chicken. They also make delicious spring rolls. The restaurant is highly recommended.”
“Came tor Trivia night and ordered quesidila. Little pricey for food but I guess fairly standard these days, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Iverall decent experience. Typical pub fair and vibe for the most part. Service was decent, food came out quite fast”

“I love their fish and the coleslaw. Beyond.that everything is just OK. Service is always friendly. HOWEVER the fries never takeout well and they are just ok as well. I ordered a coconut cream pie. By accident they gave me a chocolate pie. Drove all the way back to make the exchange. I was really craving coconut cream pie. Got home AGAIN Opened the box. Took a bite. It’s more than half whip cream. Fake not real and I could not taste any coconut. At all. Except the sprinkle of roasted coconut on the top. Not good at all.. Tossed it out! Not worth the calories. The absolute best coconut cream pie that I have had at a restaurant not a bakery is from The Armview! Homemade and absolutely delish. And worthy of the calories . Sorry guys. Just a big disappointment!”
“Pay NO ATTENTION TO BAD REVIEWS We live in Claton Park and found the ChineseVietnamese food the best we have ordered since moving here from Ontario a few years back. It was a little expensive but more than made up for that in quality. We had the order delivered in a bad rainstorm and a little girl showed up the credit card machine in hand looking like the wind would blow her away My wife and I are pretty old, and we were both impressed with the food We have ordered from quite a few places but Fon Sing is definitely the best”
“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.”
“I had a piece of birthday cake from Susie's it was my sons girlfriends birthday she brought us a few slices of Vanilla with buttercream icing it was to die for so sweet and delicious. I have to say I was impressed I generally go for Chocolate but I have to say I would order it myself. Can't wait to stop by and try the peanut butter Cup cupcake looks so yummy!!!”
“First impression was clean storefront and counter area. Staff were fantastic, willing to go the extra mile in customer service and the food was SO good! Unable to tip on the debit machine so this is my way of saying "thank you" for the great experience and I'll be back.”
“Our family dined at this fabulous restaurant a number of times and what a truly amazing experience it was. The food, the atmosphere, the service was excellent. They treat every customer as special. We definitely will be back to enjoy their wonderful food. We order online as well, prompt delivery - awesome.”
“We arrived a bit after 4pm. Waited to be seated by a friendly hostess. The service was good all did I have a bit difficulty understanding what was said. The food was very good and fast. The bourbon burger tasted good. The only thing I would like to say is that we found the restaurant very cold. We were seated next to the kitchen and we could feel a cold draft. We told the server and she said she would ask the manager. Of course we didn’t stay long enough to feel the difference so I hope for the other guests it got warmer. We thought the price for one burger with fries was a bit on the high side. But we ate there on a Wednesday night so received the second (same) meal half price.”

“We had lunch at Drift for my birthday. What a lovely experience. The service and food were exceptional. It has been a few years since we ate at Drift. This experience will bring us back for dinner soon. The cod au gratin soup was amazing. And my wife loved the salmon tartar.”
“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!! Signed Tina from Ottawa”
“Took my bestie here for happy hour and lunch on Valentine's Day ~2:30pm. The restaurant was not busy. Our server was nice, but largely MIA. Had to flag them down for another drink after our glasses were empty ~15 mins. Again, it wasn't busy. We tried to order a final drink 15 mins before happy hour ended and were told no, because they had more reservations arriving. I'm sure that was true, but we were surrounded by empty tables, and there was time for another drink. I thought the idea behind happy hour was to serve people lots of drinks? Haha. Nice food, nice happy hour menu, but really lackluster service.”
“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. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️”
“Incredible delectable food I love the place great great environment. The Donair was oozing with sauce and oozing with flavor. I really enjoyed how they packed it full of shave beef. 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend bring your girlfriend there cause she also loves it.”
“11/10. Absolutely phenomenal experience. They are SO patient and SO experienced. Nothing is out of the question as they can make anything possible. Your booking includes set-up and tear down by the staff, HUGE win. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. And obviously the space is GORGEOUS; very little decorations are even needed in the romantic moody room. We did our ceremony on the roof and it was SO special. Food incredible. We did a standing cocktail dinner and we had more than enough and continue to received compliments over the menu. This is SUCH an awesome spot!”
“Nice food, prices on par with other food places at uni but the quality and quantity is waaaay more worth it! The staff are very nice too! say hello to them when you swing by :D”
“I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough”

“Our fave cafe in Halifax—we keep coming back!
Tried capturing it a little differently this time. We always go for their sandwiches (the menu changes, but everything is consistently delicious).
Highly recommend pairing it with an iced strawberry matcha or a caramel latte (iced or hot). The hojicha was new on the menu too, and it did not disappoint!”
“if you order one thing, get the pulled pork slider. So tender, soft, and flavourful. The jackfruit was good, and we were given a very appreciated warning about how spicy the chicken slider was going to be. AND OH BOY WAS IT SPICY! 6 napkins later, left with a tear streaming down Perry’s face.
Would go back! And the drinks are strong 💪”
“Went in not knowing it was plant based. I typically don’t like oat milk but it was the best oat latte I’ve had!! The donuts are literally to die for. However, staff weren’t extremely friendly and every time I’ve gone they have been very impatient and short (and it wasn’t even busy or anything).”
“Nice clean cosy feeling restaurant with friendly attentive staff. Dosa, curry, rice and naan were carefully presented and very tasty, mango lassi was especially tasty. Highly recommend.”
“I eat a lot of shawarma all over the city. I’m no expert but I know what I like and city shawarma is the best in Halifax and area. I always have the Syrian chicken so that’s all I can speak to but it is 10/10 every time. Never dry. Great flavour. Wrap thin and crispy. Good garlic sauce. Love these guys and love having them in my neighbourhood. Hope they’re here for a very very long time.”
“Three guests in our party. Ate lunch there enjoying the Broccoli and Cheese Quiches with coffees and a hot chocolate. Quiches were very light, flavourful and incredibly filling. As we were celebrating a birthday, a dessert was selected by each of us: a chocolate cheesecake square, a peanut butter square with chocolate layer on top and an apple dessert as big as your head made with puff pastry and sweet apple filling. Verdict? Delicious!”
““Great experience at Osmow’s today! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the portions were generous. Special thanks to RAJ and PAYAL for the friendly service and making sure everything was perfect. Really appreciated the hospitality. Will definitely be coming back 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.”
“Great sandwiches. I had the Bella Roma. It was a pure and delicious Italian sub. Honestly surprised that a sandwich shop like this even exists in Halifax. Strongly recommend for a really good sandwich in town. Hoping that they can lengthen their hours so that I can go on the weekends and for dinner.”
“I’m not a coffee lover, but we had the most one-of-a-kind way of revealing the gender of our little baby with Starbucks! 💗
We ordered a drink for our simple reveal at home, and the barista truly understood the assignment. We are so thankful — what seemed like a small request meant the world to us. From the moment it was handed to us, we knew it would become a memory we’ll cherish forever.
Thank you Starbucks Herring Cove for being part of such a special milestone in our lives and for helping turn a simple idea into a beautiful & joyful moment. ☕🩷”

“I would gladly fight a larger-than-average house cat if it came between me and the seared scallops. Five stars for the citrus and butter sauce alone.”
