Review Harbourstone Pour House - Halifax

Came here on a Sunday Evening. It’s located inside the Marriott Hotel at the Waterfront but apparently they do have a patio too. We sat indoors though. The burgers were good but lacked a real kick even though both mentioned having a spicy sauce. But definitely not bad. The salad was decent as per my friend. Drinks were fine too. Our orders took quite a long time to arrive though. They mentioned they were managing the patio as well as the indoors hence the delay. To sum up it is a place for a good, relaxing time. Not the best of the best, as expected by the Marriott Brand but definitely a safe bet and good for the price.

Lovely Restaurant is located inside the hotel with a beautiful atmosphere. Great staff, the manager, she was amazing & super friendly, made my drinks on point 👌🏽👌🏽along with the other bartender Carly. Not to mention the waitress/waiters: Hannah & Christian gave absolutely amazing service with the food/drinks. I will definitely be back next time in town. Highly recommended!

A great bar for drinks. I didn’t eat any food so no comments. The atmosphere is great. People in Halifax are amazing.

The service was the best part! Hannah and Christian were fantastic and fun to be served by! The burger was tasty (although I think I let the bun get a little soggy cause I was busy chatting), fries are well seasoned and crispy, and the Dragon tail cocktail is worth trying! Great comfy seating with pillows, and they close later than other spots in the city. My friend got the fish and chips and said it was very tasty as well. Good place for quiet dinner and drinks with good company.

We popped in to grab some appetizers to share after walking around the Halifax Waterfront on an overcast day. Staff were awesome, the food - nachos, wings & ribs, and charcuterie board - was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. We will be back for dinner soon!

My husband and I had breakfast here this morning! We LOVED the cute booth. So cozy. The atmosphere was great. We were pleasantly surprised ar the positions of food, as a lot of places are cutting back. Large positions made you feel you got your money's worth. Food was perfect. Everything came out just as we asked. Also hard to come by I find these day. The staff were all great! We can't wait to come back for lunch/dinner 😁 Thanks for a great start to our day !

Atmosphere is the best. Love the booths, bold colors, light fixtures. Very instaworthy. My service tonight was also really good.

My wife and I ate here while staying at the Marriott. We both had the eggs Benedict with home fries. Everything was very good and cooked perfectly. The coffee was good as well. The service was very good too. Update: We stopped by for a quick bite and drink at happy hour. We shared an Ocean sampler and it was delicious. Nice to have other choices besides fried seafood. We be definitely going back on our next visit but not going to share this time.

This is a special place to have breakfast - the staff is very nice and the ambiance is modern and relaxing. We like to sit in a booth which is like a romantic little nook. The breakfast menu is quite delicious and they make efforts to accommodate for dietary requests, their gluten free selections are truly delicious - I always ask for one of their muffins when I am there - and rarely eat gluten free baked goods at any other time. Also, the restaurant is ideally located right beside the lovely Halifax boardwalk.

Lovely experience with great food and service. Rommel was amazing with a huge constant smile.

Can't stop at 5 stars on how this Marriott Waterfront property presented and delivered an amazing Christmas Brunch. Lobster Benedict 🦞 with an amazing wine pairing. Service was on the mark, paced superbly. No hovering. One server from Peru, one from Nova Scotia teamed up to make our Christmas afternoon an truly memorable. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍

I've been to the Harbourstone Pour House many times, usually for their Wednesday trivia night. Quite often there is a Weekly special Trivia Snack, like the shrimp and noddles pictured, which I usually order. The service is great, the location is nice, and the event is fun. My only recommendation is that they add more gluten-free options to the menu!

The chowder is full of seafood, and the fish and chips had the best batter I’ve ever had! Highly recommend.

I've had a lot of chowder in a lot of places and this is probably the best in the city. About to dig into my steak frites.

I have gluten and dairy allergies so it's hard to find restaurants that do a good job cooking a delicious meal without those two staples. The Harbourstone far exceeded my expectations. While other restaurants include gluten-free options, the Harbourstone is the first I've seen in HRM to include both gluten-free options (GFO) and dairy free options (DFO) throughout their menu entire menu. They substituted the dairy with yummy equivalents rather than just taking it out and making the meal plain. Our meal was so good we went back the next day and had lunch. Great Job Harbourstone!

The breakfast here is always wonderful, no matter how busy it is we are met with lovely service and tasty food every time. The eggs Benedict is the best. Our most recent server, Grace, was extremely personable (which makes a big difference, especially at 7 am) and very sweet. We had so many laughs! My husband and I have never had a bad experience, and recommend this restaurant whenever friends and family are in town. Upbeat atmosphere, great food with perfect portions, endless coffee refills, and servers that feel like they actually want to be there!!! 6 stars if I could!

After a cool walk from the Seaport to the Marriott, we decided to try the Marriott’s Harbourstone sea grill and pour house to satisfy our Sunday appetite. We were not into fine dining today (which they do well) but rather just some food for fill. The all-day menu features classic maritime seafood, much of which is locally caught here in Halifax and the surrounding area. Harbourstone also offers fresh salads, sandwiches, and a range of classic entrees. Their fresh Kettle Chips with a mango curry dip were too tempting to pass up. The serving was enough for four people, they were hot, crisp and topped with shaved fresh parmesan. Good to the last chip. After that I needed something healthy so went for the Cobster Seafood Salad. It was more than a meal especially after those kettle chips. Crisp lettuce with a goat cheese dressing accompanied by veggies (tomato wedges, cucumber and avocado) and seafood (two pieces of lobster, 2 scallops, 2 large shrimp and a nice square of salmon) and a boiled egg. Janice had the Avery Lobster Roll. Lots of lobster in a tarragon and sour cream dressing in between two toasted pieces of sourdough bread. It was accompanied by a side Caesar salad. She shared a small piece of the sandwich which was great and she couldn’t finish the salad. You could also choose either a soup or fries in place of the salad. The Caesar was good but not great. On the plus side lots of real bacon but no shaved parmesan and the dressing was not a typical Caesar dressing. Didn’t splurge on wine and no room for dessert; friendly and efficient service from Lauren on a quiet Sunday afternoon. We got $5 off by using our Local Dine Deck discount. So many more dishes to try on another day.

Celebrated a special anniversary dinner last night. We were welcomed with such warmth & kindness. Our server, Hali rocked it! She was truly a rock star in every way. Thank you for your insight on the menu items, for sharing your enthusiasm about the meals & for making it such a great experience overall. Hats off to the Chef for making us such a delicious celebration meal. We will definitely be back!

Me and my son went in for a bite after the tattoo. It might not be a fair review as I used to be the assistant restaurant manager at this very hotel but not at this restaurant. We had the nachos and my son said no offence ( I work for another restaurant now) mom but these are the best nachos ever. Loved the maple bacon and caramelized onions on it. Then we decided to have dessert and when the below showed up ( believed it was called the triple chocolate shocker) my son had to pick his jaw up and when asked how it tasted on scale from one to ten he said 27. He was right cause he eventually allowed me to try some.

do they serve any Vegan meals? No: meat, poultry cheese, fish, dairy, could do fish if necessary

Tasty ribs, cold beer, great place to meet. Thinking about that double Oban on the rocks and some hockey later....

Best seafood chowder in Halifax!!! Great service!!!

Great Food. Great Service. Bring back the swordfish club!!! :)
