Excellent location right in the water front of Halifax. I visited this restaurant on a rainy weekday night and the place was almost empty but the service was amazing and the food was delicious. If you go to Halifax you can't skip this restaurant.

It was already eight o'clock when I went there. To be honest, the space was quite big. I originally wanted to order the whole fish, but I misunderstood. I ordered the red kingfish. It tasted quite like a large yellow croaker, okay?
The beef tartare is really hard to describe. There is neither a raw egg on top nor lemon juice for freshness. The experience is very bad.
Rosé highly recommends NOVA 7. When asked, it tastes very fresh, with a peach flavor and a sweet texture. I like it very much.

When I arrived, it was already 8 o'clock. To be honest, the space was quite large. I initially wanted to order the whole fish, but I misread the menu—embarrassing. I ended up ordering red drum fish, which tasted pretty similar to yellow croaker. It was alright.

As for the beef tartare, it was quite disappointing. There was no raw egg on top, and no lemon juice to brighten the flavor. The experience was quite unsatisfying.

On the bright side, I strongly recommend the NOVA 7 Rosé. It had a refreshing taste with notes of peach and a sweet flavor that I really liked.

we had lunch here today Oct 18,2024 and had a problem with one of our orders. my wife ordered 12 oyster rockefeller and we were served a plate of raw oysters by mistake when my wife clearly ordered rockefellers but our server really could not care less, all she would do is blame us for the error.. very sorry she heard us wrong but please do not argue with your customers when mistakes happen..I know that we 100% ordered correctly some in our party of 6 would not eat them raw.. this actually pissed me off and pretty much ruined my meal so I would not plan to return.. unfortunate end to a family day in the city. if it was not for the error made and our server's failure to recover gracefully, the service would have been good.. my friend paid the bill quickly before I had a chance to discuss it with her so I have no idea if we were even charged for that dish.

I sat down with my buddy here last weekend around noon. There were two bartenders running the whole place. There was a blonde girl and a taller guy. We just wanted a drink. I watched the time and we waited 20 minutes and were still not served. We walked out

Thank you so much to Mel, Rebecca, and the entire staff and team at the Cable Wharf for making our engagement party/surprise wedding this past weekend a huge success! From beginning to end the team was so easy to work with and extremely accomodating. The service provided before and during the event was fabulous. The venue was set up/decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. We could not be happier with our experience! - Maddie and Ben

The clam chowder is the best I have had here in Halifax. The fish and chips were a different story. The batter was tough and could not eat it. Lunch bag let down. Nice location. Not sure I would come back and eat the fish and chips.

The peach salad and oysters taste amazing. The Lobster roll can be much better if it's light on the sauce.

Attended a Recent Weeding there and the place was very good. The fish cakes to the Scallops to the Clams and fish were fun and the beef. The waterfront is amazing. They have unique drinks there too. You can see tour or Ordinary boats going by or if your Lucky you might see Cruise ships. I recommend this fun place for a Special Occasion for Tourists in Halifax for a Special Occasion

I recently dined at the Cable Wharf, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was inviting and elegantly designed, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations.

The food was the star of the show. Every dish was expertly crafted, I highly recommend the whole fish, which was cooked to perfection. The dessert menu was equally impressive, and it was a delightful finish to our meal.

I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend!
