    Excellent service despite being a little slow (they were busy). We opted for the prix fixe menu (dine Halifax) which was excellent value however, the dessert was terrible. Whatever was served with the banana bread was rancid and the pear dessert was horrific. Considering the appetizer and mains were excellent, it was incredibly disappointing. The two servers we had were fantastic and the drinks were delish.

    We enjoy our evening at Dear Friend. Staff are friendly and provide excellent service . Food is delicious. Cocktails are award winning. We had the pleasure to chat briefly with Patrick who is competing in the World Class Canada finals, with his world class cocktails. Dartmouth has a great culinary scene and I encourage people to give Great Friend visit. Thank you to all at Dear Friend.
