My boyfriend and I came to this establishment looking to try something new and worth our money. This place did NOT disappoint.
The food was amazing. We did “the drill” which was absolutely perfect. It came with an appetizer, two main entrees, and desert. All these items were picked out by the chefs were perfect, truly the best food we have ever had.
Although most of all we were amazed with the services, despite it being an exceptionally busy night all the staff were pleasant, accommodating, and helpful. Specifically Mick our server deserves some extra credit, his drink pairings, small talk, and even taking the time to explain the history of the building as well as surrounding areas did not go unnoticed. Mick had us feeling like friends instead of customers. He truly was the best server.
We attempt to try new places every time we go out and have kept this routine for 3 years. However the press gang may have just broken this tradition as we plan to continue to return time and time again. Bravo to the entire staff, the owners and management should be proud.
My partner and I serendipitously found The Press Gang while on holiday in Nova Scotia. Boy were we glad to find this place.
The first thing we noticed about this restaurant was it's atmosphere. We were greeted with live music from a guitarist and violinist. The lighting and decor matched the aesthetic of this historical building. The restaurant was posh, but casual, and not at all stuffy.
Our server, Mick, was quite knowledgeable and helpful with highlighting some of the standout items on the menu. Mick was sociable and made it a great experience for us.
Our food was outstanding. Oysters came with lots of optional fixin's. The risotto was loaded with a medley of seafood. The seafood chowder was the standout of it all - definitely the best I had while in Nova Scotia. Prices were a little more elevated than other restaurants, but I think the quality of the food and service justifies the cost.
My group did “The Drill” and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. The food was over the top delicious and the drinks were just right. Our waiter was wonderful and the whole group had an amazing experience. Fantastic price for a 4 course meal! This will be a must anytime I’m in Halifax!!!
