Among the best dining experiences in Halifax. The staff were friendly, making every encounter a pleasure. Our server had great recommendations and was attentive. The beverage director Dave has created great cocktails and wine pairings. We were lucky enough to sit near the expo and chat with Chef Colin who shed some light on what inspired the menu. 10/10, will 100% be back.

Absolutely outstanding meal. I loved the restaurant from the moment I walked through the doors. The decor and ambiance was perfectly themed, my fiance and I couldn't stop looking around at all the little features and nautical decor. We went there for oysters, but stayed and had the duck and the swordfish. Both were absolutely amazing. Our server was also great. She gave us a bit of history on the building, and made the evening even more enjoyable. And dessert being on the house, since it was my fiancé's birthday, was a lovely surprise. Would highly recommend. We cannot wait to come back!
