If you’re going to go, i recommend going for bevs and atmosphere > food (particularly for my vegetarian girlies). Also, quite pricey. However, the staff was INCREDIBLE. I was there Saturday and the waitresses were very kind and gave great recommendations. The man who came to explain our drinks was knowledgeable and funny. Also, at least at Christmas, make a reservation!!!

We didn't think to make a reservation but they were able to accommodate our party of 4 at the bar - dining there added some extra fun to the night as we got the chat with staff while they made drinks. Great crew of folks working here for sure. Food was outstanding and we cannot wait to go back for the next menu. In particular the tuna crudo, trout and gnocchi blew us away. Also the pink flamingos are everything.

Just a gem. Very high quality food (not cheap but felt fair), lovely space and friendly service. So glad I stumbled upon.

Fantastic dining experience at Field Guide! We had the 6-course tasting menu to share. Every dish was refined, seasonal, and beautifully balanced. The cocktails were excellent, and sitting at the bar made it even better: we could chat with the friendly bartender and watch the chef at work. The whole team is small but incredibly organized, and service was smooth and attentive. They even adapted the menu for my lactose intolerance, which I really appreciated. Cozy atmosphere, great food, highly recommend!

First place we ate when we arrived in Halifax for an anniversary trip. Absolutely did not disappoint! Has great service and enjoyed sharing our plates. We had haddock, beef tartar and woldorf salad. I think the haddock was by far my favourite of the night. Tangy and sweet with a perfectly cooked fillet. Yum!

I had a great experience here with cocktails and tapas!! My servers (Shay and Char I think) were so knowledgeable and friendly! I got to try a special dish that evening made with fresh tomatoes from a local market made by Cam and Sam in the kitchen. The open kitchen sitting at the bar was super fun and I loved being able to interact with the skilled cooks who made my food. Makes for a personable dining experience especially as a solo traveller!

Absolutely fantastic in every aspect! The attention to detail shows through on each dish and drink. The open kitchen is an awesome experience if you get to sit at the bar. Oysters were amazing, the gnocchi was terrific, prawn toast was a not miss. Our bartender Pat was great and ALL of his drinks were terrific, dont miss this place!

we had a wonderful date night here. we sat at the bar and the service was amazing. shoutout to Christian. the cocktails were some of the best I've had in Halifax. highly recommend.
My friend and I went to Field Guide last night and had the best time. The food was great, the drinks were perfect, but it was the service that really made us stay. Everyone working was so nice, but special shoutout to the bartender, Christian! He made the night especially enjoyable.

Very dishonest management/ownership and I would highly advise against having any event here. They took my sister in law’s money for a wedding deposit at their other restaurant Fawn and then closed down a month later (so they probably knew when they took her deposit they were going out of business). They said they would refund her and then ghosted her for months and now are going back on their word. I’ve heard nothing but similar stories from other people so I’d stay far away from this restaurant and any affiliates under the same management.

Came by here with my husband for a drink and small plates. Their cocktail and pickles are lovely. I would order their assorted pickles again if I come back. The oysters were tasty as well but their sauce for oysters may be improved. The ambiance is nice, all table seats were filled or reserved.

It is just sublime! You definitely should try the tuna crudo. I’m so glad that I had been at Field Guide finishing my travel for the first time in Halifax. Thank you so much!

Thanks for such an awesome dinner. The $55 chefs choice was insane. So many flavours. Everything was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. The room, the food, the service was all top shelf. Thanks again!!
