    We enjoyed an excellent meal. Beef short ribs were tender, rich and flavourful. The haddock was crisp on the skin underside and tender and flaky. Vegetables were cooked to perfection. The pinot noir was a great accompaniment to the meal. The Service was impeccable! Highly recommend.

    This is my favourite restaurant in Halifax and it did not disappoint! Consistently delicious. Even though the place was packed for Valentine's Day the service was 100% attentive, fun, not rushed, and the usual high quality that we always receive at E&V. This is a place where they remember you, remember what you like to eat and where you like to sit, it's really incredible. We had the "new" burger (the onion jam is no longer!) and we enjoyed every bite. The NA drink menu grows every time we visit, which is very much appreciated.
    Eliot & VineResponded on 18 February 2025
    Thank you for the kind words and recommendation, Nalini, it's an honour to be your favourite restaurant in Halifax. Valentine's Day is certainly a busy night at E&V, however, we are very fortunate to have an amazing staff and patrons who make the night perfect! We are glad to hear the new burger was a hit! We hope to see you again soon!
