Visiting for the first time , this restaurant was the worst place I have ever been , the service was awful not even a smile , the food is better in a food court and the price was outrageous. Do not spend your money here, you will regret it .

Gig Salad

The food is very overpriced; for example, the crowder costs $19 and is extremely small. It's not worth the price.

Great spot recommended by colleagues. Lots of seating, close to the Halifax waterfront and friendly service, starting with the greeter and then the server. Made good food recommendations for my friend and I. We weren’t super hungry so opted for two appetizers to share and Bailey’s and coffee (it was a chilly evening). We had the crobster (crab + lobster) cake which was crispy and filled with crab/lobster. Good size for sharing. And the buratta cheese that came with some greens, crostini and was sizzled with balsamic vinegar. So fresh. The desserts, we learned, were all made there and they looked amazing, but didn’t have the space for them. Will definitely want to try the desserts next time I’m visiting.

Visited Halifax for the first time and I was dying to try a fresh lobster dinner. I ordered the 1lb lobster dinner and this is what it came with. The lobster was sweet and tasty but there's not miuch of it after the carapace and shell are removed. I was not full when I left. The service was average, the server did not ask me if I wanted anything else over and above water. This 1lb dinner as shown cost $60+taxes and tip. I did not leave feeling like I had the most amazing lobster dinner or experience. I was hoping to be wowed and this restaurant fell short. I suspect there are better places to try.

Most enjoyable although my wife's entree was incorrect when delivered to the table and my glass had a chip on the rim.
