The Carleton is a cozy restaurant known for its excellent service and inviting atmosphere. It offers a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, featuring an extensive cocktail list that includes some of the best in the city. The menu showcases a selection of finger foods and small plates, including the popular Carlton burger and frites, and a chicken sandwich that some guests have found to be sneaky spicy. Recently, guests have enjoyed dishes like the delicious and tender sous vide steak, served with perfectly cooked fries. While the food has received mixed reviews regarding variety and quality, some diners wish for more salads and shareable apps. The charcuterie board has been noted as good. The real draw of The Carleton is the live music, which many consider to be the best venue for such events in Halifax. Guests appreciate the attentive and friendly staff, along with the enjoyable performances, including acts like Taryn Kawaja and bands such as Swipe Right. Overall, The Carleton offers a unique atmosphere and enjoyable experiences, making it a favorite spot for many.
