We visited The Bicycle Thief while visiting Halifax this week and what an awesome experience. We loved the option of outdoor seating since the weather was very nice and sunny during our visit. The food was amazing!! Excellent Italian food! Also great service and friendly staff. We would definitely recommend checking out this restaurant!
After a long walk on the promenade, choosing a restaurant was a challenge. I'm glad to say we picked the right one and luckily had space to accommodate us as it was busy. Since Lobster Roll is on the menu, we had to try it as it is pretty much a local delicacy of the area. It tasted great and surprisingly small. I would have wanted a bit more as it was tasty. The sides, chips and salad are good additions. The Rosemary bread is nice. We also had a delicious salad which was well made and presented. The staff were a little attentive and not very engaging. The atmosphere was alright and busy. There is also outdoor seating.
First and foremost, our server (Paige I believe) was hands down the best server I have had in quite some time. Her eloquence in the menu tour, attention to detail, and her service was 10/10. Recognition for her service is what directed me to leave this review. Had a hard time deciding between the fish cakes and seafood past, she added on a fish cake to my order so I could try a bit of each. This did not disappoint. The seafood pasta was easily one of the best pastas I had. Scallops cooked to perfection. Lobster roll was fresh and flavorful. Cocktails, flavorful but still spirit forward. Ambiance was good too. Just found the bar area a little too cramped. Seriously, thank you Paige for your service, the bicycle club is lucky to have you. Cheers
Our waiter was fantastic. Low key and funny. Didn’t catch his name. Love the low lighting and ambience. Place has the best vibe. Highly recommend the Atlantic salmon and my daughter recommends the chowder and ravioli! So many great dishes to choose from. You cannot go wrong.
My waitress was one of the best I’ve ever had… and as a salesman that travels across Eastern Canada, I was really impressed! (I had to mention it to her) she said it takes two to tango and appreciated the compliment, but I was being honest and this was what prompted me to leave a review. The team worked well together, and everything was on point! Everything from welcoming, to menu selection and recommendations, and toping off my drink and making sure everything was being experienced as it should. Thank you for the great food and amazing service! 11/6/23
It's ridiculous how good this place is. We went for lunch as a group of 4 and had a great experience. Honestly, every single meal was delicious, but some of my favorites were by far the Salmon Pistachio, the Seared Scallops and the Lobster Linguine. Oh and for desert, the Brown Butter & Bourbon gelato was excellent. The staff was super friendly and even helped us with some local recommendations for what to do next in town. Overall, this restaurant is a very strong recommend if you are in Halifax.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly impressed with our server. We were a party of 4 and my wife and I are visiting from Vancouver, BC. He never had to ask twice for our orders. Very knowledgeable about the wines and spirits. His explanation of the special for the night was outstanding and was ordered. He even engaged in conversation at the end of our meal without being overbearing. Outstanding service and the food was amazing!! Will definitely return on our next visit. Planning on visiting the sister restaurants as well.
Best meal our whole trip. Fabulous customer service. Reservations are highly recommended. Everything was high quality from start to finish. We will definitely be back! I recommend you add this restaurant to your "must go to" list for your Halifax visit.
Highly recommend! Service was great, food was delicious and plenty of cocktails/drinks to choose from. We had the fall off the bone beef and fresh crab ravioli which were both amazing, but so much choice in the menu and good prices.
The food here was phenomenal! We ordered all seafood and no complaints. Everything was delicious, including my cocktail. The only small complaint that I have is the service, it was lacking and very basic. Otherwise it was perfect.
I would come back and I recommend to my friends if they travel to Halifax.
Make sure you make a reservation, totally worth it!
