    One of my fave Halifax restaurants still going strong! Haven’t been in 2 years and went for lunch with a friend. I can recommend both the burrata and the Steak tartar which together made a substantial hugh protein lunch. The chef was kings enough to sub long slices of persian cucumbers for me to use in place of bread or crackers. My friend had the salad with perfectly seared scallops . Good coffee also. Highly recommend!

    Excellent service. Food outstanding, hidden gem in Halifax in up and coming neighborhood. Braised beef one of the best I’ve ever tasted.

    Great food and service but the noise level is terrible. We are a party of 4 and cannot carry on a conversation.

    We had an amazing dining experience. Edna was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. Heather was an angel in finding a table for us when we showed much earlier than our reservation. Although my husbands ribeye was delicious, the star of the table was the arctic char. A perfect harmony of acid, crunch, and sweet. Soooooo good. Thank you to all the staff for an amazing night!

    Unfortunately, the noise reduced the atmosphere to that of the tavern, making conversation difficult. It spoiled an otherwise pleasant meal.

    We always consider Edna to be the best restaurant in Halifax. You will not find a better steak anywhere, and everything else is always equally, consistently fantastic. Nice to see that the amazing brunch has come back as well! As always, we can't wait to go back.
