arrived in nova scotia and dined at the five fisherman a year ago today. parking was difficult, but everything else was top notch. i still crave the dish i had and it was hands down one of the best entrees i have ever had. the lobster linguine was not a particularly large portion but the flavors were insane and i will never forget the way the lobster melted in my mouth like butter. being from los angeles, i had never had lobster of such quality and never cared much for the flavor until i tried this dish. i loved everything about this restaurant, we had a lovely waiter and it was an elegant setting,

Update: Originally I rated this a 3 due to a less than stellar NYE experience; however, I’m revising to a 5 based on our experience last night. Tyler was an amazing waiter, very attentive, friendly and genuine. The food was amazing. I think our NYE dinner was a one-off bad experience, as last nights dinner was exactly as we expected for the Five Fishermen. Thanks again for a great night!!

My boyfriend and I had reservations for NYE. We arrived at 6:30 so it was not as busy as I have seen it on previous visits; however, the quality of service was not what we have come to expect at the Five Fishermen. There were little lapses in service that you expect - for example, having to repeatedly ask for water, pouring our own wine - not big things, but the little attention to detail that you expect at the FF, especially when paying $32 and $44 for entrees, and well over $200 for the total meal. The biggest issue is that our entrees were warm at best, and by halfway through were downright cold. Our waiter didn’t appear until we were almost done, and at that point I did indicate the meal wasn’t hot enough...to which I was offered an additional serving of ratatouille, but I declined. Previous experiences at this restaurant were all positive and I wouldn’t have hesitated to give a rating of 5, but the staff didn’t seem to be on the ball on NYE and we were very let down.
I was blown away by the amazing service today at this restaurant. We had a lobster Mac and Cheese, and to us it looked and tasted wonderful. However the chef took it upon himself to tell us that it wasn't up to his standards.The restaurant then ended up comping our Mac and Cheese, giving us a new one and to top it all off the Manager apologized for the food and gave us a $25 gift card. These guys really take pride in their food and it showed today. I would recommend this place to anyone that goes to Halifax! It was a great experience and I thank the Manager and staff today at this restaurant.
