“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!“

“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“

“I had the Rhina Ribs, fries, gravy and Spinach dip for a starter. The spinach dip was delicious. The ribs were so tender it fell off the bone. Absolutely delicious. I didn't care for the gravy but still enjoyed my food. Service was great and the food came quickly. I love coming to this restaurant.“

“Johnnys is a classic. An old school diner that keeps it simple good food, good service, good price, fast and fresh. A lunch time go to for us at our office. I take our out of town guests all the time they love it and want to go back when they are back in town.“

“This particular Harveys location always seems to have the most cheerful hardworking and customer service oriented staff anywhere. Whomever is running the show there at the Harveys in Bayers Lake Halifax knows how to manage, motivate and develop a great service staff. I'm impressed.“

“I went to Montana’s Dartmouth this past Wednesday for their All-You-Can-Eat Ribs special, and it was fantastic! Our server, Tiffany, made the whole experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and kept the ribs coming without us ever having to ask. Tiffany checked in often, made sure drinks were topped up, and had such a great attitude that really added to the night.

The ribs were delicious, perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. Between the food and Tiffany’s outstanding service, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend stopping by on a Wednesday if you’re craving ribs you won’t be disappointed!“

“You guys really need to step it up when it comes to consistency. I'm so tired of paying good money for food and being disappointed. You used to be my go to for everything and I keep trying and hoping that things have improved but one week I'll get a large donair and it's a large and tastes good, next week ill order a large donair and get a small burnt one. same thing with donair subs. I just paid $15 for a large donair, it was tiny and the sauce on it taste like milk not at all like donair sauce. Done with spending good money and getting something different every time I won't try again that's for sure.“

“friendly staff , topped the way you like it“

“Peaches N Tea gave the drink list a fruity twist making it the perfect match for my meal and super refreshing.“

“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“

“Staff was very friendly! Food was Fast and amazing.“

“The Lion’s Head is one of my go-to spots in the North End when I want a chill, friendly vibe. The rooftop patio is the real star — perfect for soaking up the sun.

Service is always quick and friendly, even when it’s busy, and having lots of free parking nearby makes it an easy choice. It’s also a great spot for larger groups — plenty of space and a lively atmosphere without feeling cramped.

Food-wise, it’s mostly solid with the occasional standout. The sweet potato fries, burger, salad, mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap with soup I tried once as a feature were all great. The wings were just okay — not bad, but not a must-order for me.

All in all, a fun neighborhood pub with a killer patio, reliable food, and staff who make you feel welcome.“

“Group of work crew got together for a meal and then a Moose game on February 29th and not only enjoyed the food, the layout of the restaurant, but the waiter (Brandon) was amazing and made the whole experience of our first visit the best experience and we'll definitely return.“
