Review Bluenose 2 Restaurant - Halifax

Food was good to try nothing like wow, we tried fish and chips and chowder with lobster sandwiches. Chowder was below avergar, but other food taste was ok bit expensive side.. but above all, servers and services were amazing....front of house rocks !!!

First time visiting Bluenose II Restaurant, and we will definitely be back! Kelsey was a charming delight, and the kitchen knows the best way to prepare an Eggs Benedict! Better than Lot6! Always a pleasure to visit the Bluenose Restaurant!

A local recommended this restaurant to me. I went twice while in Halifax. I enjoyed my first time there. Service was great! Loved the scallops with potatoes. I still think of the potatoes... The server was lovely and she was helpful with her recommendations. My 2nd time was not as good. Went for lunch and the service was not as good. He was nice, but maybe new? Not as friendly as the first server. Claw Chowder was good, but not amazing. I'd recommend if you're looking for a low key and reasonably priced meal in Halifax.

We enjoyed going to this restaurant on a recent holiday in Halifax. I had scallops which were good - not that big though - we also ordered the salmon and the calamari- the calamari was great - the salmon was a little overcooked but tasty. We each had a drink from the bar which we found to be very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was casual and the service was friendly. I would go back :)

Food is great and staff is amazing! Danielle was our server today and she made everything even better! :) We recommend the seafood platter and the creamy banana pie for dessert.

📍Bluenose II ⭐️8/10 Our first stop in Halifax was the Bluenose II Restaurant where we just had to try the lobster rolls! The fresh lobster and perfectly toasted buns made for a delicious meal, with the lettuce adding the perfect refreshing crunch. It comes with coleslaw and a choice of side. The fries and mashed potatoes were average, but the chowder was very yum. Lobster rolls - market price (extra $3 for chowder side substitute) **Follow @smfoodd on Instagram for more reviews!!

This restaurant looks vintage and has been a staple in Halifax a long time. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and makes sure you have everything you need. They have local beers 🍻 which my husband tried it was called Frig Off 😆. The lobster roll I had and my husband had the clams. Both are excellent. Downside, it closes at 8pm

It is a place with many years in Halifax, breakfasts at a super affordable price. The place fills up fast. the friendly staff. The access area to the bathrooms is dirty and looks like a storage area. a peak old furniture and tiles.

The food was good. Very quick, tasty, and fairly priced. Service was meeting the bare minimum. The service was quick but the server never topped up our waters or even chatted with us. It was definitely efficient, but it felt like a get in and get out kind of dining experience. Then to have the lowest pre-set option for tipping to be 18% was shocking considering all that. The restaurant was almost full when I went, so it was loud and difficult to have a conversation. I felt rushed to eat and leave since it was so busy.

Wow, i fell in love with this place. I ordered the lobster dinner, and it was super delicious! It cam with clam chowder which was rich and creamy! It also came with a side and i choose mash potato which was amazing! The other side dish we ordered calamari was also delicious. The dessert was also very filling! Delicious as well. I will definitely come back to Bluenose II when/if I ever travel back to Halifax!

Well priced seafood in a diner atmosphere. There are better restaurants in downtown Halifax but not at this price point.

We liked our visit. Dishes were good and tasty.

I recently visited Bluenose II in Halifax with my wife for a delightful lunchtime experience. This charming restaurant exceeded our expectations with its delectable seafood, cozy ambiance, and attentive service. First and foremost, the food at Bluenose II is a true delight for seafood lovers. We indulged in an array of mouthwatering dishes, from succulent lobster rolls to perfectly seared scallops. Each bite was bursting with freshness and flavors of the sea, making for an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant's interior exudes a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The maritime-themed decor and beautiful seafaring artwork created a unique and enchanting ambiance. We particularly enjoyed sitting by the window, which offered a pleasant view of the bustling street outside. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the relaxed vibes. The service at Bluenose II was commendable. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were prompt in taking our orders and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their warm and accommodating nature added to the overall positive experience. In conclusion, our visit to Bluenose II was a delightful journey into maritime cuisine. The delectable seafood, comfortable surroundings, and attentive service made for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or simply seeking a relaxed and enjoyable meal, Bluenose II in Halifax is a fantastic choice.

Excellent service, great food and a reasonable price! This restaurant has been in business since 1964.

Lobster is really good, but make sure to have the patience and energy for it. Overall, very very good place, the soup is good and the dessert is special (Canadian version of Mahlabia), which is rice pudding and cream. Great place overall and highly recommended!

It is a fine place but I left without understanding what all the buzz about this restaurant is about. The seafood platter was ordinary. Not the cheapest place either.

So happy we went here during my recent vacation to Halifax. We had the seafood chowder and the 2 piece fish and chips. The food was excellent and served hot and fast. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere! We will definitely return.

Absolutely freaking phenomenal. This is definitely my top 3 restaurants I've tried on my east coast trip (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, PEI)... possibly my very favourite. The fish chowder is to die for. The lobster roll was great - wonderfully cooked, fresh, buttery, generous amounts of lobster - but the fish chowder blew me away. It was so delicious!! At every restaurant my friends and I went to on this trip, I ordered at least one small cup of chowder. Bluenose II had the best chowder out of the many places we tried, hands down. If you're in Halifax, you have got to try the fish chowder here. The decor was comfy and cosy, and the service was great, too.

Market price (March) full lobster dinner: $40. Good value considering the lobster roll is $30. Utilitarian diner. New England style clam chowder: good. Lobster: done right (boiled) with an offering of melted butter. Fries: average. Rice pudding: homemade, decent.
