Awesome Burger Bash experience

Dinner last week was disappointing. The food was average at best. For starters, the calamari had a light and crisp breading but still manged to be chewy and dry. The dipping sauce tasted like a mixture of chili powder and mayo. Brussel sprouts were nicely cooked but the flavor was muddled by the 5 or 6 competing flavors on the plate. Similarly, the beef tartar was over complicated and over seasoned, served with three soggy, greasy pancakes.For mains, steak frite was a tough piece of sirloin served with over salted fries covered in A LOT of chopped rosemary. The chicken and waffles again was over seasoned and served on a soggy waffle which was covered in slaw and some other mayo based sauce. The lamb shank was tender and tasty.Server was competent but lacked any hint of personality.Meal for three including tax, 15% tip and three drinks was $240.

Very high price point for nothing special food. Average quality. $100 for two without drinks and no appetizers. ? If you were to order wine $20 for a small 5 oz. pour. Big disappointment overall.

First time visit. We had the Dinner breakfast offering. The cost was approximately $19.50. I have to say WOW. The plate consisted of two pieces of thick bacon, two eggs, two sausage of very good quality..not greasy or mealy. Home Fries, salad along with an aoli to dip. A large piece of toasted foccasi. I just loved the presentation and the flavor. Service was very good... attentive server and very relaxing atmosphere. Coffee was above par. Ceaser for an opener ( very tasty) I also had a speciality coffee for desert. An offering that I hadn't seen in other establishment. And no I don't know the owners or staff! Highly recommend to try one of the breakfasts/ brunch and then determine yourself if this is one of your go to places. Yummy..getting hungry again. Cheers.

This place is quite lovely. They have lots of options to accommodate different dietary needs, the atmosphere is good and we were able to bring a 3 month old baby without any issues. It can be a little loud in the middle area but I'm also a little old ??‍♀️

Went for the taste of Halifax menu and was thoroughly impressed the chicken and waffles came across a wee bit dry but the presentation was beautiful and all other dishes were great. The server was lovely and knowledgeable and the vibe alone is worth the visit. Would highly recommend for a trendy date

Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Busy, but was a Saturday night so was to be expected. My guess is they were a bit short staffed, so food was a bit slow coming out. My haddock was originally overcooked, but they quickly rectified this and made a fresh dish which was delicious. Husband’s steak was cooked perfectly. Worth a visit.

Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. The place is very dark, the service took too long to come and after eating an OK food the 3 of us got sick next day ?

I got into Halifax from Charlottetown late on a Sunday evening, so there weren't very many places open. I ended up going to the Black Sheep and it was well worth it. I had the Bouillabasse and 2 beers. It was so tasty. I can't get that kind of fresh seafood dish in Edmonton. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food with a great ambiance and wonderful service. I went with some family member for dinner during the Holidays and we all had a great experience. This would be particularly great for a date night in town.

Highly recommend the calamari, lobster ravioli, and scallop fettuccine. For dessert, the molten brownie was delicious. Great service and intimate atmosphere.
