Got a few things I haven't tried in a while. Steak tartare is more or less like many places, mild flavour, doesn't stand out. Scallops were cooked perfectly. Has a sweet fruity butter sauce. But sweet for me, but I think most people will like it. Duck confit risotto was the best one for me. Fall off the bone duck mixes into perfectly cooked risotto with a strong red wine flavor. Plus good portion size. Bonus that they serve non-alcoholic beer!

The best lobster rolls in all of Halifax.I would highly recommend the lobster rolls, the oysters, and the lobster thermidor!The seafood is fresh, well prepared, and locally sourced.

My first time in Halifax. Here on business and to see my adult child. I’d heard so many great things about this restaurant. So, approximately a month ago, I made a reservation for 2. We were so excited to go for dinner. Service…excellent. Food…very good (though my son ordered his steak rare and received it medium rare…he said it was fantastic just not exactly how he likes his steak cooked). Atmosphere…nice. We had appetizers, mains, a bottle of wine and dessert. Unfortunately, despite booking well in advance, we were seated by the hustle and bustle of the wait station. When we left, I casually mentioned to the hostess that I was somewhat disappointed by our seating. She was kind …but insisted on sending me to her manager, who was very polite. However, he then insisted on sending me to his boss. Unfortunately, I did not find the next level person to be overly interested in hearing my comment; he was somewhat dismissive. He pointed out to me that as I could see it is quite busy (ie popular) and it was unfortunate I did not like our seating. One of the reasons I did not mention it when we arrived is because I knew it was busy and changing seats was likely not an option. Overall, despite the seating we were given, we had a great visit and dinner. I’d recommend it for the food, service and atmosphere. However, I did not appreciate the dismissiveness of the boss when I was sent to him about my minor comment about our seating.

The food was amazing, so much to choose from making sure you’re not leaving unhappy. The service is the best you could get. Amazing atmosphere. I’d recommend the short rib. You look at it and it falls off the bone.

Had Dinner on Wednesday night April 17,2024. Dinner was stunning and service was outstanding. My wife came intoTown and I wanted to treat her to a great dinner. Our service was terrible and we left after the first course and went elsewhere for dinner.

Food was amazing, and the service was even better. Only reason for the 4 stars on atmosphere is the menus was difficult to read due to the dim lighting.Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable staff when it comes to gluten allergies.

This place was perfect. An absolute highlight of our trip to Halifax. They converted me to oysters which is in itself a miracle. I'm looking forward to returning.

Very loud. Food was good. Mussels were small. Definitely pricey for the food you receive.

Decent pricing and food was above average. They brought out all the food together so my pasta was a bit cold. Lobster roll wasn’t the greatest, but restaurant is at an ideal location. Good for a one time visit if you’re in the area.

It was a bit cold but the cheese cake desert and our attentive waiter made up for that.The waiter also got my friend’s order mixed up but we all make mistakes. They fixed it by bringing the right order and packing up the wrong one for us to take home. So, it all ended we. Haha
