🙌THE FIRST REVIEW:
Ok, I suppose that Kismet was one of the Halifax's pearls...
But, from person who was there for the first time... I don't know.... The desert was terribly...cheap 😒 Sorry, guys, that's true. I'm not complaining, just don't serve the desert if you don't know how to do that.

Thought, cocktails were extremely good!!💫💫💫 Bartender was nice and service was awesome!🌟 Thanks for that!💕

One more thing... interior... Cheap old white plastic siding on the walls? seriously?... Please... It's 2025 now!
Btw, your exterior looks so good! Just paint the walls and ceiling inside, the same color, make the space more cozy and fresh.
Anyway, thank you!
Your team is great!❤️❤️❤️“

“Beautiful restaurant in an excellent location. The staff and very nice and happy to have any answers that you may have. It is a fancier restaurant (maybe dress up a bit) but isn’t pretentious. Our food came quickly, the drinks were very good (paid for 2 because it was so good) and we would definitely come back. Great place for a birthday, anniversary or special celebration.“

“Excellent food, location and service“

“We had our small wedding group here for dinner post ceremony. It was the perfect space (the Rhino room) and fit all 27 of us. Booking was easy, the staff and food was fantastic and delicious. And they were so accommodating to our guests with allergies. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“fantastic food service is great“

“Friendly staff, unlimited refills of coffee or tea, and a breakfast menu with lots of options at reasonable prices. Home fries have a spice blend that elevates them above similar options at other restaurants. Our server Katie was friendly and quite accommodating and let us order piecemeal off of the sides menu. Reservations recommended for peak times.“

“A hidden gem. We loved it!“

“We had a wonderful date night. The food was excellent service was amazing. Such a great place to go.. highly recommend“

“Honestly better fish and chips than the Warehouse next door. Crispy although not evenly crisp but it it’s a takeout spot with lots of orders so not expecting too too much. Fries are okay, nothing out of the ordinary, but prefer this place over the waterfront warehouse specifically for the fish and chips only. Can’t comment on the other dishes as I didn’t have them.“

“Best lounge I’ve been in Halifax thus far!“

“We dined after a busy day at work & it was DELISH & great service, atmosphere , food and views ! We'll be back ! 😋“

“Salt and Ash has an amazing vibe and equally fantastic food! I had the cheeseburger and fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The setting has a relaxed, beachy feel that works perfectly whether you're dressed casually or a little more dressed up.“

“Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Had an absolutely incredible meal at Au Liban in Halifax! Every single dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented — from the tabbouleh and hummus to the grilled halloumi and sujuk in pomegranate sauce. The warm pita was nonstop and perfect with everything. Amazing food, great service, and such a welcoming vibe. A masterclass from their culinary team. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Best lobster roll in the Maratimes“

“Great service and delicious Pizza. My friend and I was desperately hungry whilst having at art show at NSCAD and this pizza shop is truly authentic. I love the soft pizza and the real Mozzarella thats melted over the pizza. Shawn was super kind. I highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be back!“

“Enjoyed our first (but certainly not our last) dining experience at Ragazzi. It was amazing from start to finish. From the lovely greeting at the door, to our knowledgeable and entertaining server Lucas, it was an evening to remember. Our meals were a gourmet delight and were nothing short of perfection. From the flaming shrimp and scallops, to the insanely delicious halibut, veal parmigiana and lasagna, we have no words. Lucas was attentive to all our needs and he can whip up a wicked martini! We wholeheartedly endorse everything about Ragazzi and will be back soon. Thank you for an exceptional evening Ragazzi!!“

“Lobster roll was fantastic and the ceaser salad wasn't much but it was really good. I enjoyed the waitress, very courteous and friendly“

“Been coming to Jim's regularly every week for years. Never been disappointed by food or service. Great menu at reasonable costs. Highly recommended.“

“Always a great atmosphere!
Staff is always great.
I'd put their nachos against any in town!
Loaded with caramelized onions and bacon !!
Great spot for a business meeting but it's downtown Halifax, parking is going to be an issue if you're looking for street parking. Parkade next door will let you get there via the Pedway though.“

“Ohhhh my god I had to be rolled out I was so full. Best oysters I've ever had. Sat at the bar and chatted with the chef non-stop. 5 stars“

“Wow so so impressed! My dinner was amazing!!! There was a small issue with my butter for my lobster and it was replaced immediately and my dinner was taken off my bill! I didn’t ask for any discount it was just automatically done on the bill! Unexpected and surprised! Thank you will highly recommend!!staff were lovely! Great job keg Halifax downtown!!

“I’ve had Kit Kat pizza in the past so it’s been awhile like years and the food that stuck out for me was the hamburgers as they made them from scratch/ the garlic fingers with so much cheese/ their Hawaiian pizza with so many toppings on it and now 2024- tried them again as I love the owners but it’s just been so long, their Hawaiian pizza like only 2 bucks more than when I remember , is still the same with so many toppings n cheese- my son loved their chicken fingers and fries as they were cooked just right!
See ya soon!“

“If you would like an amazing culinary experience then you should definitely try the Barrington Steakhouse! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The staff were absolutely incredible. The host, the server, the bartender were all so great and made our dinning experience unforgettable. The food though, was definitely where the term “chef’s kiss” must have originated from. It was quite evident, that the chef takes pride in all of the dishes. The Beef Wellington well exceeded my expectations. Definitely 5 star rating!“

“Awesome friendly service Homemade colswal is THE BEST IVE EVER HAD“

“When we walked through the door we were greeted with smiles and kindness. My friend and I joined the beautiful patio on the glistening Halifax Waterfront for lunch. As many know this is a beautiful scene, but what makes it more of a sight is when you receive such smiles and service of kindness! This may not always be the case but what day doesn’t differ?Today was the definition of the experience and thoughts you always want to walk away with (along with great food) when you walk out the doors.“

“best steak I ever had. will be coming back“

“great spot for cocktails.“
