We wanted to go and have Atlantic lobster, and this place did not disappoint. The cocktails were delicious, the scallops were tasty.

Really loved everything about this place! From the service to the really nice patio. The PEI mussels were fantastic…

Richard Lamoureux

Wow! What a gem. Fabulous location only outdone by the food and service. Our server Elvira was terrific, fun and attentive.

Amazing food and service. Very friendly and the atmosphere was casual and quiet. If I find myself in Halifax again, will definitely visit again.

The food was great, and they have the best napkins in town they felt like cashmere. They never ripped, which is really good, especially for a class-A slob like myself

We had a great experience from the time we walked in. We were greeted, seated and served by Elvira (el-vera). We couldn't have asked for a nicer person. She turned on the fireplace for us, we were visiting from Florida, got us some drinks , bread (delicious, explained the menu and gave some suggestions. We chose to start with the crabcakes with grilled pineapple, mango radish onion piccalilli then the Colossal Sea Tower and added a steamed lobster for our dinner. Everything was delicious but the lobster was sooo delicious. Succulent and sweet.

Very good quality napkins. Soft, thick, yet disposable.

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
