About The Arms

The Arms is a cozy restaurant located in the lobby of The Lord Nelson hotel in downtown Halifax. It offers a welcoming atmosphere with classic charm and comfortable seating, making it a great spot for a variety of occasions. The menu features a range of tasty dishes, including seafood, nachos, garlic fingers, and burgers. The seafood chowder is highly recommended, with tender fish and a smoky side of sourdough bread. The nachos are considered by many to be the best in the city, with cheese and hot peppers all the way to the bottom, and are perfect for sharing. The burger is large and very good, while the lunch Caesar is well-presented and tasty, though portions may be small. The drinks, including unique options like the citadel sour, are delicious and complement the meal well. Service is consistently attentive, friendly, and helpful, with staff going above and beyond to recommend dishes and ensure a pleasant experience. The overall ambiance is cozy, though some feel the decor and lighting could use a refresh to match the inviting atmosphere. Overall, The Arms is praised for its good food, friendly service, and comfortable setting.

The food and Boxing Rock double IPA are great but the reason we keep coming back is the amazing service of Mike and Scottie! We look forward to seeing them every time we are in town.
