Really good spot. The service was excellent and so was the food. Yes it’s a chain, but this restaurant is better than almost any other in Halifax in my opinion. They’ve really got their act together.

There is a reason this place is still around after 25 years! The food was perfect, our server Rich, was professional, warm and took such good care of us; and the ambience can not be beat. The space is intimate & cozy, with natural stone and aged timbers, and lots of nooks where you can have a private conversation, but enjoy the space all around you. The live music was a nice surprise too, and added to the experience without taking away my ability hear a conversation. Thank you for a great 25th anniversary dinner!

Double brunch date with friends. Ambience is perfect. Food was great as usual. Our server Elizabeth D was top notch. Very personable, patient, and attentive. That's why it's hard to get a table, everything is just right.
