Service and food were stellar as always. Wine list is versatile, yet approachable. Music and overall din were very loud, making it difficult to hear my dining companion.

Really enjoyed our dinner and service here. Cozy, fun ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable server, creative and delicious drinks and an excellent round of plates. The design, lighting and music created a great atmosphere. The room wasn’t over crowded or loud. It was just perfect. Best tuna tartare I’ve ever put in my mouth.
Kudos

🙌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!❤️❤️❤️

Go in hungry and order everything you can on the menu. Literally all of it if you can. Be brave and waddle out.

Wonderful little restaurant. Great service and relaxed yet refined vibe.

Now food wise - it’s pretty special. The tonnato in particular was excellent. 10/10. And I’m still thinking about that green salad with the manchego.

I must say: I’m not usually one to make fun of the girl who takes a risk and puts herself out there creatively. But when you’re trying to push the envelope like this, there are bound to be some flops.

The char dish in particular made me sad… a beautiful piece of fish swimming on an unfortunate thick bed of Nutella. Tuna tartare was OK but needed acid.

Overall, you can tell there’s a lot of love in what they do here. I’ll be back to try more menu items and I’m excited to see what else they pull out of their magic hat.

Lots of greenery that created a charming lightly forested vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. From the menu the main highlight was the tonnato melt that was very flavourful, the other dishes were more average but still tasty.

Menu here changes from time to time.

Reservations highly recommended, slots are only open for a few weeks in advance.

Carrots and crab were amazing, our highlight of the night, along with the sea buckthorn cocktail! It was lovely to get to know our waiter/bartender Ilya, great vibes all around, we'll be back
