Highly recommend! Large portions for a very reasonable price!
Seafood Chowder was the best I’ve ever had.

Great service, wonderful oceanside scenery. Very nicely decorated and comfortable setting. We ordered a clam chowder which was split between the two of us. We were advised one order is very big. The two halves were still sizable and rich with shrimp, salmon, haddock and potatoes. We ordered the lobster roll, which came with crispy perfect fries, and cabbage. The fries were really good. The lobster roll itself was mixed with celery and green onion. Good on its own. Definitely a place to recommend for a taste of Halifax. We hear the fish and chips are good, but they were all out when we were there.

Had a pretty good experience at The Cable Wharf in August of 2025. It was during a lunch quest to eat another lobster roll and we ended deciding on The Cable Wharf due to the great location, with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the harbour.
As others have mentioned the atmosphere is excellent. Great views of the water and comfortably shaded.
We found it kind of comical that each time we ordered a lobster roll somewhere, the bun seemed to get smaller and smaller - culminating in the bun here, which more or less looked like one of those hotdog buns out get out of a package of eight at the grocery store. On the plus side, it made the portion of lobster look especially heaping. Fries were crispy and very delicious.
Highlight of the meal was the couple fishing on the dock while a seagull patiently sat nearby - awaiting them to catch a small fish and toss it his way.
Not my favorite lobster roll in Halifax in my opinion but there is many other options on the menu that I'm sure are great and you can't go wrong with the location.

Saw this place as I was getting ready for a boat tour. Was curious to try it out as I was craving seafood since being in Halifax!
The bread was amazing with maple butter! The salmon was as expected, fresh - I did find a bone or two, but the jalapeno was very yummy! Tried a lobster roll for the first time! It didn’t blow me away for $32, but the dip that came with the fries was AMAZING. The cheesecake was my favourite thing of the entire meal, excluding the blueberry cocktail.
I would recommend this place, but I think the meals can be a little hit or miss which is slightly disappointing based on the price.

We got the hot sea food plater. The food was very dry and over cooked. The views are great. The food was terrible. Recommend going to bicycle thief for a better option
Great service and views; tourists trap.. Oysters were great. tasteless fish and chips, the fries were dried out comparable to stale takeout. The scallops were alright but for the price expected more and better taste. However, The wine, beer, service and views masked the underwhelming food. Overall not impressed.

Chardonnay-out of stock. Bloody Mary mix-out of stock. Scallops over cooked. Green beans under cooked. Very nice waitress.

This property is in Halifax that is close to the ocean located in the wharf area. Dined on a Tuesday night at 7pm. The fish special of the day was not available 😳😳😳. Also pork chops not available. This is close to the busiest part of the summer holiday season for tourists so someone needs to take a look at their ordering of food process to cook and serve. Only 3 dessert options😒😒😒. Not a place we would go to again or recommend.
Karen
Very friendly staff including hostess and servers. Food was excellent and waitress was appropriately attentive. Would definitely go back there.

We wanted to go and have Atlantic lobster, and this place did not disappoint. The cocktails were delicious, the scallops were tasty.
Highly recommend! Large portions for a very reasonable price!
