We used to eat here frequently. We haven't been in about a year. Food quality is not the same, the cesar used to be my fav. This time it had no flavor, no bacon and like 2 croutons. My husband always gets the muscles. This WAS his fav place to get muscles. This time that came out smelling really fishy and no flavor. The wine list is half of whatvit used to be. The bread came out burned, the waiter said he would remove it from the bill but later we noticed he did not. My steak was cold and considerably smaller than my husband's. We were still buying drinks and the restaurant was about a quarter full, however the waiter asked us twice if we wanted the bill. The second time he asked we paid the bill and went to the westin bar to have cocktails instead. Extremely disappointed we always like to support local over chain restaurants. When you spend money like that ypu expect a certain quantity. I feel that perhaps there may have been a change I ownership/ chef

Food was Fantastic and service was excellent. I am sure many people would not like looking at the side of a cruise ship, but we decided to have fun, and make up stories of the things we could see going on.

I will always recommend this place every chance I get. My husband and I went here for date night after recommendation from a friend. Everything was so good from when we stepped in the door. The manager was so accommodating and kind. And our server was not short of great.
We had the seafood chowder (best one we’ve had yet with how creamy and perfectly seasoned it was), fried calamari(crisp and delish), beef ragu (super tender beef in great tomato sauce with grated Parmesan cheese) and Roasted Garlic Pappardelle( so tasty and creamy). Dessert isn’t a big menu but the cheese cake was divine. Nothing was over done and it was just right. We will be coming back.
But if you don’t get anything else, get the seafood chowder. It was delightful. I didn’t get a picture cause it was wolfed down, haha.

Seafood chowder was done to perfection but I think what really topped off our experience was the incredible service that we received from Cait. I have been to many establishments across Canada and it is very rare that we have such an exceptional server. She took the time to get to know us understand what our foods would be most appropriate. We ordered based on her recommendations which were spot on. We will certainly come back to your restaurant and ask specifically for Cait. Well done
Not the same as previous visits. Something has changed. We loved it on previous visits... Super salty . Gnocchi was mushy.. calamari was off and scallops overcooked. Service and ambiance was great , as we remembered. Maybe just a bad night in the kitchen?
Location is perfect for walking all those calories off after a delicious meal.
The food is quite amazing and service superb. We had the steak pizza, pier burger and seafood chowder.
The chowder was definitely one of the best I’ve had in HRM. Didn’t require me to add anything. It was delicious. For the price though it’s quite small.
Pizza was 10/10. Hot. Fresh. Flavorful and quite pleasing to look at.
The burger was yummy but a little on the dry side. The patty was juicy but small and could’ve used more sauce. I’d give it a 7/10.
Cocktails could def use work. Watered down in my opinion. I’d recommend sticking to beers/wines over cocktails.
All in all great experience. Great service and delicious food at a decent price.
So bad, had a reso and shoved us in the corner by the washrooms… place was not even half full, service was so terrible, took 20 mins to even get water, when we did there were lipstick prints on our glasses … not from us…. We left after an hour because nobody had come back to take our food order.

The food was decent. The servers are warm and cordial. It has a good ambience with a view of the harbourfront. Good option for a date night. The only thing that needs improvement is their dessert.
