Los mejores restaurantes con servicio rápido en Halifax

Superb on all fronts. Started with 1/2 doz PEI oysters, served on half shell with mignonette made with house fermented minced onion and a spicier mango something or other. The oysters were so pristine they were beautiful naked or with just a bit of lemon, but both accompaniments were wonderful. When in Rome…so, I opted for a glass of bubbles from a local maker - super impressive - fine mousse, crisp and light, citrus and saline minerality but complex and creamy. Was undecided about where to go next so asked for guidance, and was led to snow peas and snap peas, snow crab, whipped ricotta, elderflower vinegar and a glass of a locally produced Chardonnay. So good…just a perfect mouthful. The wine pairing was perfect. Finished with shrimp dumplings, which tasted like takoyaki in Osaka but you won’t die of a heart attack or burn a layer off the roof of your mouth. Instead it’s floating in a shallow pool of dashi with kimchi relish, and a bit of kewpie. This was paired with the most incredible orange wine, also produced in Nova Scotia. I’m deliberately not identifying the wines. Asking for guidance and suggestions elevated the experience. Will visit again to try tomatoes and tuna crudo before returning to Baja Canada.

Chicken pesto pizza 10/10 My daughter loved it! Philly steak sandwich 9/10 It was delicious but oh so messy! The fries are so good! New Pinot Grigio….can’t remember the name…lovely, chilled, perfect.

The decor and environment of the restaurant was very unique. The Atrium area was beautiful and the old brick was lovely. The service was good too. I had the oysters which were really great - I particularly loved their presentation. Generally, the food was good. My only complaint-and this is very niche- is the following: I had a lobster roll, gluten free. I am used to gluten free buns being smaller. That is not the issue. But the lobster roll was 32 dollars and there was the thinnest single layer of lobster in an already small (gluten free hamburger type) bun. I left hungry. I would have appreciated being warned that the lobster is miniscule. Perhaps this is just because it was the gluten free option, but it really was a very small amount of lobster (and I've had many a lobster roll in my day). The sandwich was worth half of the price it sold for (if I am being generous). Otherwise, it was a good experience overall and would go back to try other things. Other options looked quite delicious.
