Restaurants near Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Downtown

Of all the restaurants we ate at while in Halifax, The Press Gang was the best. The atmosphere was rustic yet felt upscale. Even though the dress code is ‘casual’ most patrons were dressed business casual or smart casual, which was nice. The blackened steak was delicious. The seafood risotto was well seasoned without overpowering the seafood flavours. I would say the service was a bit slow considering the restaurant was not busy, but it did not take away from the evening. Absolutely recommended.

We had the best evening- our server was very attentive but wasn’t pushy. It was perfect.

Everything we ordered was so good. The vegan menu did not disappoint. Service was fast and polite.

It was our first visit at Pazzo and we were completely impressed in every way. The food was delicious, service superb and ambiance lovely. Couldn’t have asked for better.

First time dining at the Five Fishermen in Halifax. We are visiting from Saskatchewan and had always wanted to spend an evening there. Our experience exceeded our expectations. The ambience was amazing. Kristen - our waitress - was wonderful. We had 2 Celiacs (must eat gluten free) at our table and she really went above and beyond to guide us through the menu and ensure that our meals were prepared safely. Most items were gluten free. We shared 2 appetizers between the 4 of us. For our main meals - and because they were out of fresh lobsters - she had the chef create a lovely gluten free lobster and scallop risotto for two of us - which wasn't on the menu...but was fantastic. The men had steak and a burger. I had a glass of wine and the men had 2 draft beer each. For $249.99 plus tip, that was a great experience and more than worth the cost. If I could rate this place 10 stars I would. Highly, highly recommend. Will return the next time I'm in town. Cheers from Saskatchewan!!
