The Cannery Kitchen & Social at Hollis Hotel

The breakfast at the Cannery was a pleasant surprise. Serena was our server and she was just perfect at her job as she seemed to anticipate our needs and wants. Right to the end of our breakfast she was there for us and we shared a few chuckles along the way. It is the warmth of the staff that I will remember more than the food however the food was perfection as well. Both my daughter and I have celiac disease and the kitchen accommodated our needs and the food was better than I make at home. Our breakfast was prepaid and the Manager quickly corrected the bill for us. We will miss the care, food and service when we go back home. Thank you for a lovely breakfast all around.

The location in downtown Halifax is great. Parking however, is a bit of a nightmare as with all restaurants downtown. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fine. We arrived at 5:15 PM and left at 6:45 PM and not a single additional customer came in. And that was a Friday evening! The service was fine, everything re: the atmosphere was good. Except, the food is really not great. I am not a picky person at all. The cauliflower bites were cold. And they’re just deep-fried cauliflower. Very, very disappointing. The crab and lobster dip was really pretty awful. And one of us had the salmon. The garlic mashed potatoes was cold. It wasn’t all bad, the fish tacos were not too bad. But when you get food at a restaurant charging the price as they do, your food should not be cold. Never! We should’ve sent it back. But we’re just not the sort of people who do that.

Awesome restaurant with interesting menu. I had the 4 cheese pasta and had no regrets at all - I could have drink a glass full of that sauce.

Our waitress was very kind and took the time to discuss with us and it made us feel very welcome. A very nice experience overall. The restaurant looks a little impersonal, but that was of no consequence.

We were staying at the hotel and had breakfast at the Cannery and enjoyed their menu. The food was good - we enjoyed our breakfast. Amy was our server and did an excellent job. It was very convenient and a good way to start our day - many thanks!

This a hotel restaurant but you would never know it. You can access right off the street. We went for breakfast twice and it was very good both times. The place is clean and the staff are professional

Enjoyed breakfast in the early morning. The server, Angela, was super friendly and attentive, checking on me just the right moment. I had Wellbeing Omelette, which was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting😊🫶

Probably one of worst breakfast experience I have ever had. Ordered the Cannery breakfast that took almost 40 minutes to come to the table. Cut into my sausages and they were half raw and cold. The server was less than helpful and did not fix the issue or compensate for the issue. I had to waive him over to have my coffee refilled as he did not check in with us once. My wife ordered the Belgian waffle that was suppose to come with berries on it. It came out with 2 or 3 blueberry as and a half a strawberry on it. Definitely not very impressive will not be back.

Had breakfast. Good omelet but the home fries were a bit bland. My wife liked her waffles.

I am a regular at The Cannery and I look forward to going as much as possible. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is fantastic and Asbin always makes us smile and he is always accommodating and welcoming. I wish I could give this restaurant 100 stars. Thanks Asbin and the rest of the staff! See you soon!

We're staying here for over a week while visiting Halifax. We've had their breakfast a few times now and I particularly like the oatmeal, pancakes and toast. The happy hour offering is great too. Their seafood chowder had scallops, mussels and shrimp - really delicious! Margherita flatbread was on point too.

I would love to give it a higher review but I had reservations for 10 got there at 9:55 was ignored until 10:10 until I walked over then waited until 11:30 to eat..yes I should of just left. We were apologized to and given a 20%discount which was meh ok. Food was excellent though. Clearly more staff is needed here.
