The pesto hummus was excellent. Our main courses were both flavorful and satisfying. The server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made for a great dining experience.

Tribute is hands-down the best restaurant in Halifax right now. What makes it stand out isn’t just the incredible food — it’s the relaxed, unpretentious vibe paired with seriously thoughtful cooking. We opted for the tasting menu, which was a perfect way to experience the full range of what the kitchen can do. Highly recommend upgrading to the T-bone — it’s rich, perfectly cooked, and great to share. We also added a couple of extra pastas, and honestly, I’d come back just for a full pasta night. They’re that good — handmade, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Dave’s wine pairings were another highlight. He brought incredible energy to the table and nailed every pour. Each wine not only matched the dish but also brought out something unexpected. Tribute strikes the perfect balance — it’s exciting but never fussy, cool but totally welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this is the kind of place you tell your friends about the next day.

Just visited Sea Smoke with friends and absolutely loved the environment and food !! Our server was also super patient and recommended wonderful food. Beautiful property right by the water with outdoor fire tables.

I love this restaurant! The staff and service were incredible! Always nice, always attentive, and even went arrive and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food is high quality and delicious with enough variety to satisfy. You can dine small plate sharing style, or you have the option to order the MP option on the menu for some items that offers a larger portion for some individual items. We tried the ahi tuna, the miso cod, the Digby scallops, the Peking duck, and the truffle cheese naan. More than enough food obviously. Everything tasted great! The only complaint was that I wish the ahi tuna had more tuna. It was avocado heavy and that flavour dominated the dish, but it was still tasty. The Digby scallops were quite large and satisfying. The real hero of the small plates was the miso black cod. This is a must have! And excellent and tasty dish. The Peking duck was incredible also, and they go out of their way with the presentation (I won’t spoil it for you, haha). It’s fun to make Peking duck thin pancake wraps with the pancakes they provide. And don’t worry about running out of the wraps, they will provide more at no charge. The truffle cheese naan was rich, creamy, and very flavourful. definitely a treat if you like truffle cream. Finally, the cocktails were on point. Every one that we had was excellent. Their take on a classic martini was one of the best I’ve ever had. It was called the year of the Snake. Also the year of the Dragon cocktail was a must order as well. So that’s it. Go to this restaurant and have some delicious food and a great experience. Highly recommend

Beautiful interior. Stunning decor. So calming and elegant. Not just lunch, an experience. Loved it!
