I was here for Mothers Day. I frequent the restaurant and have always loved it. I was disappointed when the week before I found out the menu was made smaller. This should have been told at the time when the reservation was made. It was rushed. They didn’t want to give more of what you liked as usual. It was a totally different experience and disappointing after the rave reviews I gave everyone. My advise is to not introduce this to people on a holiday

Brunch on Sunday was amazing. Great way to handle so many people by serving food family style, with so many offerings. All were delicious! But we had food left over on the table and wanted to take a slider or croissant to my son upstairs in the room and were told no - it’s not allowed. Ridiculous rule of the restaurant! Halifax would rather throw out all the remaining food on tables than allow us to take what we paid for up to our room ??? Next time I stay at the W I will have brunch elsewhere.

We had such a great experience at brunch in Halifax, food is always amazing and although the price is a little steep you absolutely get what you pay for. Only critique is that I wish brunch hours were longer-we didn’t want to leave ! Great spot for any occasion, and definitely the best brunch in NJ.

Room was way over lit for dinner. Eventually they turned it down but it was ‘diner ‘ bright, The wine list is stupid expensive. It’s not viable and of all the tables, only one ordered a bottle. The service was polite but not up to the prices or experience. It was not refined and nor did it add to the experience. It was just competent.

We arrived at 1:20PM on a Monday. It took 10 mins to get seated. Then another 30 to get out order taken. The highlight of the entire experience was the starter we got. It was chips and shrimp with an aioli dip. We ordered the pasta as an entree and the shrimp sliders. It took an hour for us to get this. The pasta tasted like canned pasta or like the pasta itself had been boiled in hotel room tap water. Disgusting. We even tried to masking the taste by asking for the dip that cake with the starters to mix into the pasta. Again, we did this because we had waited so long and were so hungry. It was absolutely horrible. Who can’t make a simple bolognese? The shrimp fritters had a pungent fish smell. My friend couldn’t even finish one slider. We asked to speak to the manager and explained our concerns to him and he apologised and took the entrees off the bill. What’s crazy is that he did not seem surprised- this is very telling because it goes to show that they know their food is trash. They took the food away and we sat for another 40 mins waiting for them to bring the bill. We were only able to leave at 3:30PM. There is no excuse for why everything took so long. This is the worst service I have received at any restaurant. Will definitely not be returning and would suggest you do not even give them a chance. Waste of time and money.

It was a friend’s birthday and everything was so beautiful! They always go out of their way to make every experience a special one and that’s why we chose to have dinner there on this very special occasion. Every time I go to this restaurant, whether for lunch, brunch or dinner, the food, service and experience are exceptional. Wonderful Chef and staff and menu and beautiful design. Thank you for all you do to create such a wonderful experience!

Went for Valentine’s day. The pre-fixe was great. Started off with the Wagyu carpaccio which was delicious and my girlfriend got the smoked baked brie which was heavenly. For entree I got the Filet of beef and she got the mushroom ravioli, both of which were incredible. Finally the strawberry creme puff dessert was a perfect touch to finish. Would definitely return.

I had dinner for Valentine’s Day. The food was very good. The service was not terrible, but I felt like the waitress could have been slightly more attentive. Overall, I had a good time. The drinks were very good too. And it was not overcrowded which made it easy to feel relaxed.

Brunch was great! We did the bubbles brunch and for 2hrs with the tasting and champagne it’s really a great deal. You get to taste everything in all four categories and then reorder what you really like. We really liked the challah toast, potatoes and eggs, fruit options, and the chicken meatballs. It also seems like they swap some things out here and there. The only thing we didn’t really like were the chairs, they weren’t the most comfortable overall.

Overall I think this Halifax brunch is for the ambiance and vibe more than the food. Service is great they make sure you have a full glass of champagne at all times.. but the food is mediocre at best. I’ve never been for dinner so can’t compare that food but all the brunch food we had was super bland and nothing memorable. Again a great place for an event and it’s the best brunch deal in Hoboken.

The deal was amazing & ambiance was great! I had a lot of fun my only issue was a lot of the food was lacking seasoning. The buns on the sliders were just straight out of the store they weren’t even toasted so it was like raw bread and the Mac & cheese tasted like nothing. It felt like the food didn’t even have salt and pepper let alone seasoning. But I guess we got what we paid for

We were disappointed in the quality of the food and the amount of food waste that went into the menu. When we sat down our cups were clearly dirty (had lipstick in them from someone else) and it was hard to get water refilled. There wasn’t enough time to eat the food that was coming out and it resulted in most of the food being uneaten.
