5 stars is a no-brainer - Service is excellent - Small, intimate restaurant - One of the best wine lists we saw in Canada.

4-4.5 stars. Their website says newly renovated and it looks quite lovely.

Great atmosphere. Clam chowder is a must. Food is top notch. Service was good, pace a little slower than I like, but all in all good

Tremendous meal. Went with an appetizer of seared scallops with pork belly the scallops were perfectly prepared and the pork belly was delicious. Main course of Lamb Wellington was likewise delicious, combined with the sweet potatoes puree on the plate. Dessert was a Sticky Toffee Pudding, with poached pears and vanilla ice cream; again, perfectly executed. Service was also very efficient. Highly recommend this place.

Best restaurant in Halifax. We frequently come for our anniversary and reserve the private vault room. The food is always incredible and the staff is beyond amazing. I also love how the menu changes each season. So much variety!
