    Our first time eating at Drift was beyond our expectations. We were greeted extremely kindly and professionally (the host noted the occasion provided in our booking after politely asking how we were) and we were seated at an intimate table. There were not many other diners (less than 50% full) and the ambiance was quiet and very relaxing. Beautiful design and decor. The food was outstanding (hushpuppies, scotch egg, prime rib, and ravioli duo), and the cocktails were very tasty. Best of all, our server Angie was extremely courteous, doting and warm (she also commented kindly on the occasion). She answered my questions thoroughly. The staff are clearly very highly trained and the service level was the best we've had in over a decade of dining in Halifax. Thank you Angie!

    Another lovely evening at Peacock! Delicious fondue, and ambiance. But it is the service that makes it stand out. Madeline was lovely and attentive without being invasive during our dinner. It was a very nice change of pace from other place I've dined recently. Will be back for sure!

    Had Cornish Hen. Was surprised there was only 1/2 of the hen on my plate. Desserts were tasty and looked lovely but a little too rich. Server and table were great!
