    Food was amazing, service was excellent, but I couldn’t help but feel like the spot we were sat wasn’t very comfortable (to be fair it’s not a very big seating area). Overall thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

    Had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner at EDNA with a friend! The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for a great meal and conversation. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, we had the daily special. Service was impeccable—attentive but never intrusive. Whether for a special occasion or just a fantastic meal, EDNA never disappoints!

    Edna NEVER fails to let me down. I have no idea how they keep such consistent amazing delicious food. And, I can never leave without an order of their scones YUM. Service is impeccable, food comes quick and the ambience is lovely!

    It was just a lovely evening; the ambiance just makes you want to relax, stay and enjoy your time. The food was fantastic and your waitress Cathy boy she knows what comes out of the kitchen. She made our choices even better. This is a very special gem in Halifax, we will be returning.
