So we decided to try this place after several years of saying we were going to try it. My first impression when we looked at the menu was kind of pricey. That didn't last long when we seen the server coming with the plates, 17 for a chicken finger platter which I thought was kind of high and 16 for a chicken sandwich platter, now I must say my opinion quickly changed. We could have split either meal and still left full. My wife said it was the best chicken sandwich she had ever eaten. The chicken fingers were fantastic as they make them in store and they do an excellent job. We are already talking about going back soon. One thing I will say is we arrived around 6 and the restaurant was booked until eight, we lucked out and managed to arrive just as two people were leaving the outside patio. They seat as available outside. So you may want to book just to save yourself from disappointment. I wish I hade taken photos of the plates but it looked so good we dive right in. Five stars for sure. Enjoy you will not be disappointed.
We visited Halifax this weekend and the food here was for sure the best food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. I had the baton rouge burger with sweet potato fries, it was to die for! Very well cooked and prepped. Not only was the food amazing, the service was as well. Would like to thank our waiter Erin for being so polite and welcoming. What a great experience, would highly recommend!
I'm going to round up my rating, where I feel like it was more than 4.5, but the experience was too good to give it a 4. I felt the main dishes were fantastic, great portions and excellent flavor. There's a good variety of options, especially for its location. The atmosphere is very cozy and intimate, great for a date night. Service was good, not great, but still enjoyable. My .5 knock would be with pricing on appetizers and desserts.. which I felt was a bit high relative to the portion. But the quality and taste was fantastic, which influenced my round up.
Beautiful setting in an old building, however there is a smell of old musty water but that could have been because of how humid the weather was. Otherwise it's a fantastic place to enjoy a birthday dinner with your significant other. Appetizers of crab stuffed mushrooms and calamari are recommended. We both had the strip loin steak dinners with skillet mushrooms followed by a slice of absolutely delicious carrot cake. Would definitely recommend the Compass rose wine as it's a locally sourced winery. Over all a great experience at the old historic restaurant.
I had the Baton rouge burger (without lettus and tomato) which was quite good, the pricing is appropriate, not too high or of great value.
My friends had the club sandwich and sirloin steak.
I was given the opportunity to taste the steak and it was cooked perfectly at medium rare with a nice taste to it, however it was missing that extra flavour to really make it perfect.
This night came together rather last minute as we booked the table within two hours of our call. Thankfully, despite arriving half an hour early, we were seated relatively quickly without issue and the service was great.
I would definitely re-visit in the future and perhaps try something new to further develop my opinion of this restaurant.
A dozen of my colleagues and I had a lovely evening supper there. The beverages , food and service were all top notch! Richi was our server and he did a wonderful job with his service. I had the Calamari and the Lotus Bowl with Lobster. It was phenominal! I would 100% order it again. I order Calamari and make my own regularly at other restaurants, but this was the best I have ever had. 10 out of 10 for that dish, for sure! Every person loved their food !
Service was fast and friendly! Nice decor! Appetizers and Entrees were delicious (Tempura shrimp and salmon/loaded baked potato)
Loved this restaurant! The ambience was nice, the food was great, and the service was good too! Just wish there was more vegetables offered as I am a veggie lover when it comes to steak and potatoes lol but that's just preference. Still an overall great restaurant, and the steak was probably the most tender I've ever had.
Fantastic service and great food. A nice warm atmosphere in the perfect location. It was a great venue for a party
For all the times I stay in Halifax and this is the first time here….shame on me. I promise to be better. Had a craving for steak and I can tell you, it was satisfied tonight! From the moment I walked in and was greeted and seated, I knew it was going to be a great dinner. My server Sara was amazing. She is on top of her game. Watched her run around serving the entire bar area drinks and food and not missing a beat. Lots of happy people enjoying the food and drinks. My steak…..okay so I do steak. I make a mean steak. Well so does Anthony! I wasn’t in the mood for the 14oz Ribeye so I asked for a cut of the Prime Rib to be grilled based on a recommendation from Sara. BOOM! Was so good. My Gin and Tonic was super tasty and made the way I love it. Cucumber with Hendricks and quality tonic. Highly recommend. I’ll be back!
So I was back and I met “Gen”. What a colourful addition to great meal. If you have the appetite for “Dinner and a Show” then please ask for Gen to host your meal. Ask her for the special “Gen and Tonic”.
Great place, food and staff. I Had the Louisiana Chicken Salad. Large and delicious. My server, Sarah, was amazing.
We just had our hockey Christmas dinner at the Halifax location. Our servers Sarah, Janessa, and Kiersten were absolutely amazing and attentive with our group of 60. The service and food were outstanding. Thank you so much for making our evening memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
