“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!”

“Terry’s Calamari is THE BEST because he has the best idea to cover it in an amazing tomato sauce and olives that elevates it to a whole new level. 3 of us shared it, gone in minutes.

For mains we had Spaghetti Bolognese and Tagliatelle Cacio e Pepe. Perfect portion, thoughtful details with garnish, and incredible sauce (and those lemon kissed scallops... amazing). Spiced chocolate crème brulee and Tiramisu rounded out the evening. Great evening supper on the patio. Excellent service. What a gem in the city 💎”

“"When my family and I first moved to Nova Scotia, one of the first places we visited was Trattoria Vesso. Since then, we've tried many other restaurants in town, but Vesso remains our favorite. It's hands-down the best authentic pizza restaurant in the area. Every time we go, the experience is incredible. The pasta is just as amazing as the pizza—everything is so fresh, homemade, and made from scratch. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. There are never any leftovers—we clean our plates every time! It’s become our go-to spot for a cozy, delicious meal that reminds us of home."”

“Best Turkish food in Nova Scotia!”

“Tried the chicken bahn mi tonight and it was exceptional. The bread was fresh and the chicken was delicious. Friendly, fast service as well.”

🙌THE FIRST REVIEW:
Ok, I suppose that Kismet was one of the Halifax's pearls...
But, from person who was there for the first time... I don't know.... The desert was terribly...cheap 😒 Sorry, guys, that's true. I'm not complaining, just don't serve the desert if you don't know how to do that.

Thought, cocktails were extremely good!!💫💫💫 Bartender was nice and service was awesome!🌟 Thanks for that!💕

One more thing... interior... Cheap old white plastic siding on the walls? seriously?... Please... It's 2025 now!
Btw, your exterior looks so good! Just paint the walls and ceiling inside, the same color, make the space more cozy and fresh.
Anyway, thank you!
Your team is great!❤️❤️❤️”

“Had the best experience the other weekend with Keira! Sorry about the spelling!? She was more than lovely and recommended us The Brie Hive burger! YOU GUYS…. BEST BURGER we’ve both ever had!!! 5 stars for food and service! ❤️”

“So good! I had the (already) gluten free crepe and fruits And the keto breakfast 10/10
The crepe was huge and full of fruit.
Blueberries, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, grapes, kiwis!!! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal.
Cindy was an awesome server :)
Pricey but I definitely feel like we got our money’s worth! If I lived in the area I’d be a regular.
Potatoes are made in a shared fryer so I didn’t get to try those.”

“My hubby and I have eaten breakfast at your restaurant two different times and both times enjoyed it very much. However, I have a question. As you go through the door u see the sign Canadian Owned and also Truly Canadian. Then why are you not using French's catsup instead of Heinz. In our home we use only French's and it is Canadian. Thank you!!.”

“We stopped by Bramble Cafe, a cozy vegan coffeehouse, and absolutely loved it! I ordered a pumpkin spiced latte along with a bagel with butter. My boyfriend got a hot green tea and a za’atar bagel, which he raved about!

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the vibe of the café was so welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for great vegan coffee and breakfast options!”
