Service and food were very good, most of us had lobster. We just did not expect to be at „Little Fish“, since I made the reservation on the „5 Fishermen“ website, and it was not obvious to me that the reservation was at the Little Fish restaurant. I was not even aware that there were two different restaurants, and therefore two different products. Different menu, smaller Lobster, different sides, even the wine we had last time is not served downstairs... The first time I was at 5 Fishermen with my crew, and it was outstanding! It is a different experience, even though Little Fish is ok, but when you expect one thing (also the ambience is very much different), and you get the other, it's always a little disappointing. We are Airline Crew from Europe, so we don‘t have the opportunity to re-book again a few days later. I wanted to take my crew to 5 Fishermen, instead we found ourselves at a different restaurant.

It was wonderful. Our server Andrew was fabulous and helped this a very special anniversary dinner. Thank you all at little fishes!
Julien
The food was truly amazing, and very tasty. The wine as also very good. Finally, our server went above and beyond to get us truly excellent service. Thank you again Christian!
Alex
Great service and beautiful atmosphere. Drinks were excellent but the food was very underwhelming, especially for the price.
Jamie Cairns
Great seafood. Service was excellent.
Raylea
Seafood was fresh and flavourful. The service was lovely. Enjoyed a gorgeous and tasty cocktail.
Gary
Waiter was very attentive and helpful. Oysters were good but disappointed with the Crobster sandwhich. Very little lobster at all.
Lisa
The food was good, but quite overpriced. The steak tips were tender and flavourful, but the seafood pasta was quite skimpy on crab and lobster, especilly given the $36 price tag. There were only 3 tiny pieces of seafood in my pasta. Disappointing. There were no local wines on the menu, which was also disappointing, especially with the current focus on Buy Canadian and Shop Local. However, when I mentioned it, the server became defensive, arguing that it was a Mediterranean restaurant so they served Mediterranean wine, but then insisting they did support local by buying local ingredients. Fine, but local Nova Scotian wines also pair well with Mediterranean food, and if you buy local ingredients anyways, why not local wines? The rationale made no sense. Overall, a pleasant but unremarkable and expensive meal. There are better seafood restaurants in Halifax.

The food was not good, carbonara is not carbonara. This place was five social before and the food was great.

Order yourself a Grappa Sour to get things started. Then I recommend the baked lobster ziti!
This is our second visit and once again we had a wonderful dinner and evening. Our server was excellent (I'm sorry can't remember her name but it started with a D!) was excellent. The food was superb. Thank you all for a wonderful evening. We will be back next time we are in Halifax.
Jill
Good restaurant. We had a table of 7 and were seated at a private table in the back. Food was good and got a complimentary glass of bubbly for my birthday.

Very disappointing. We had 8 in our group. We started with oysters, very small and dry, moved on to lobster bisque. It tastes like tomato soup, no lobster chunks. Main course was a half lobster. It might as well have been an overcooked crawfish. Overall the experience was poor overpriced food. The server was good. Too many other options in Halifax to come here.
