   Nice cosy little restaurant. Prices are reasonable and a decent value for what you get. Service was great. I had the Pan Fried Haddock which was the best I've had yet, it was bursting with flavour. My daughter was very impressed with the Squash Pasta, too. It was my first visit, but I'll be back and would definitely recommend it.

   I booked a Saturday brunch with my girlfriend and I was about an hour too late to get a table so we were by the bar. However a reservation was canceled and they were very accommodating in moving us over. This was helpful as my gf has a sore back. I got the Mexican style breakfast and everything from chorizo meatiness to the sunnyside up egg and tomato complimented each other so perfectly. She had eggs Benny and it's chef's kiss 👩‍🍳 The dessert, the marscapone with some kind of marinated raspberries was so much better than I would have thought (my go to is the carrot cake)

   The 100 mile drive was worth the Ruben Sandwich. Was nice to see a Chef prepare food with love. Will definitly be going back

   The Dine Around menu was terrific. We chose the pasta and curry dishes as mains and the tomato soup starter. All were delicious. We took the leftovers home and they are even better for lunch today. Our favourite restaurant in HRM.

   We had an awesome evening with our two kids to celebrate our daughters birthday! The staff were great making sure to elevate the celebration. Food was delicious especially the crab dip which is easily the kids new favourite.

    I enjoyed the food; I wasn't impressed by asking for my Caesar drink muddy and being charged extra after dropping a few hundred dollars.
