Eliot & Vine
We enjoyed our meal at Eliot & Vine. The food was very flavourfull. We'll definitely be back again!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, KiraT! We hope to see you again soon.
What a wonderful New Year’s Eve dining experience. This gem is consistently a pleaser. There was a very fun party vibe . The menu offering was amazing. The spring roll appetizer was delicious and fun to see on the menu. My beef tenderloin with wild mushroom Demi was done to perfection and the potato pave, parsnip purée and asparagus were so so tasty. I shared a rum eggnog brûlée for dessert that was a sheer delight. My favourite restaurant in Halifax and an amazing evening ! Thanks
Thank you for such a lovely review, Aero! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your New Year's Eve with us, and were able to enjoy some of chef's specials! We hope to see you again soon.
Our favourite place for a perfect night out together. Staff are always welcoming. Great vibe with a perfect bar if you're on your own or just dropping in with friends for a drink. The tables are close together but that's not a problem here. We like to be by the windows. The menu changes and the food is absolutely excellent and we have a hard time choosing which plate to try. Nice wine list, by glass, 1/2 litre or bottle. Already looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you for this review, MGM3841! We are delighted to hear that E&V is a staple for your date nights in Halifax. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Simply delicious! Great service and tasty wine!! Tables are a bit close not the place for a private conversation.
We appreciate your feedback, AnnaM! Glad to hear you were satisfied with the service and enjoyed your wine!
The food was delicious. I had the pasta and my husband had the steak, we both thoroughly enjoyed both. Prices were reasonable. The service was excellent. We will definitely go back!
We are so glad that you and your husband enjoyed your meals at E&V, Patricia! We hope to see you again soon.
Great ambience. Attentive server. Came for appetizers and a drink after work. Perfect oysters and delicious condiments to compliment . Bothe appetizers delicious and perfectly prepared
Thank you for this review, Aero! We're glad you were able to enjoy buck a shuck and hope to see you again soon!
It was lovely, had friends with us, the service was great as usual. The team in the kitchen knock it out of the park every time. One of our favorite spots to go.
Thank you for your review, 1TouchAlcr! We're so glad to be a part of your night-out rotation. Until next time!
Excellent meal, attentive waiter, overall an excellent meal and venue.
Thanks so much, SueM! We hope to see you again soon.
A fantastic restaurant that always manages to outdo themselves every time we go.
Thank you for your review, BMChef! Always a delight to get such a great review from a chef. Hope to see you again soon!
Always a wonderful evening at Eliot & Vine. Our favourite spot for a quiet evening for two or meeting up with friends. A changing menu that is always delicious and excellent wine selection. Staff are wonderful. Can't say enough! It's just perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review, MGM3841! We are so happy to hear that E&V has been a go-to spot for you and your dinner guests. We hope to see you back again soon!
A wonderful experience ! Unanimously we agreed it was the best meal and dining experience we have had this year! So much fun. We actually commented on how low the noise level was which is perfect.
Thanks for taking the time to write this review, Alison! We're delighted to hear that you and your dinner guests enjoyed your meal and evening with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Server was great and food was great. Love E and V
Thanks for your review, we hope to see you again soon!
Had croquettes and Brussels sprouts for appetizers. All very tasty. Halibut was amazing. Would recommend and would go back.
Thanks for your review, Libsmith! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your food and we hope to see you again soon!
As always with E&V, the menu is small but encompassing enough that anyone can find an option. Always made fresh and plated well. Always well cooked and flavourful. Possibly my #1 go to in Halifax.
Thank you for such a kind and honest review! It is completely our goal to have a dish for everyone despite our limited menu, and we're thrilled to hear that was your experience. We hope to see you again soon!
great service, quality food, tasty in a comfortable enviro
We arrived early on Saturday evening and enjoyed the happy hour specials. $1.00 oysters and wine by the glass for $6.00!! Fantastic value!! Our server was friendly, informative and obviously very proud of the ownership and the manner in which this restaurant operates. Our food was delicious and very interesting combinations of ingredients. We left the restaurant and took in a play at the Spatz and smiled the rest of the weekend as a result of Eliot & Vine in tandem with “Fiddler or The Roof” at Spatz theater. Wonderful combination!!
Thank you for your review, Kevin! That sounds like such a lovely night, and we are so happy to have been a part of it. We hope to see you again soon!
A return visit to this restaurant opened my eyes and taste buds to the fact that I must be
crazy.........not to have returned much sooner. The sous vide tenderloin was so good I could
have ordered another, but didn't have to, as unlike other restaurants in this city...the serving
size was perfect (not a small sharing plate for 2 that doesn't pass as enough for 1!!)...so, return
I must to what continues to be a restaurant others have discovered as the ambiance was alive
with people.
What a lovely review, thank you so much Louis! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your meal and were satisfied with the portion as well. We can't wait to see you again!
As always we enjoy the food quality and wine on offer. We would appreciate one more choice in entrees and appetizers. This is a local favourite.
Thank you for your review, Mary! As our menu relies heavily on the availability of fresh ingredients, sometimes we only have a few mains and apps to chose from. Hopefully if you try us again we will have a heftier selection (we've got six mains on the go right now!)
Food was excellent, and although the menu limited, there was something for all of us and we enjoyed everything. Minor, but our waiter wasn't as knowledgeable about the craft beers on offer and a few other small things. I only mention it because most service in Halifax is excellent and complete
Thank you for your review, Peter! I will be sure to pass this info along so we can answer any and all questions you may have in the future. Hope to see you again!
I had probably my best meal in a restaurant here over Thanksgiving weekend. The halibut was perfectly cooked and the hodge podge was unreal. Will definitely be back for sure!
We had such a lovely dinner here. Our one daughter has food allergies and the waiter was incredibly accommodating. He was just simply lovely and the service and food impeccable. We will be back.
Thank you for your review Jennifer! We try to be prepared for any food sensitivities, and we're delighted to hear that everything worked out for your daughter. See you next time!
We came for the happy hour, and stayed long enough to enjoy a fabulous selection of appetizers. The Brussels Sprouts were the best we’ve ever had! Crispy with delicate flavors of garlic and cheese. Even those who hate Brussels sprouts would love these! Then there was the Caesar salad - big enough for two and loaded with a variety of goodies - bacon, cheese and the rye croutons that literally melted in your mouth. The shrimp appetizer was also delicious, but for two people, we needed two orders, as there were only five shrimp on the plate. We also ordered happy hour oysters (18j and enjoyed several glasses of happy hour wine. The Rose was crisp and dry and the merlot well balanced. Because we were early, we had ample time to chat with the wait staff and bartender. By the time we left, we felt like old friends. The atmosphere is warm and inviting- not too large a space, warm terra cotta paint on the walls and soft Edison type bulbs above the tables and bar area. It was the best combination of food, service and ambience for our money that we’ve had in a long time! Can’t wait to return!
Thank you for this lovely review! We're so glad you were able to try an array of dishes and make the most of your night with us. We hope to see you and your partner again!
I submitted a full review with photos on yelp but this restaurant deserves a second review. My husband and I have date night two nights per month and we like to try new places in Halifax. This in our opinion is an untapped GEM in Halifax. Everything was prepared PERFECTLY. The dishes were so flavorful and cooked to perfection we were in heaven. The locally sourced ingredients and limited menu is always a great sign and it sure was reflected here. It's now in our top 3 of favorite places to eat in the city, can't wait to go back and tell everyone we know. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Hats off to the chef(s) and the rest of the team for a truly wonderful evening. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your review, Cheryl! We are delighted to hear that you and your husband had such a great date night at E&V. We hope to see you both again so you can try something new!
We didn't care for the noise level of the group of 2 then 4, that were 2 tables over. Just talking loud with no regard of being in public and possibly disturbing other patrons. Perhaps waiters could be more attentive to this. and try and curb the noise.
Amazing experience. Great value. Found our new local!!
Fantastic as always. Highly recommended. Have never been disappointed
We had a reservation at 7:30pm on a Friday night, when we arrived we noticed how beautiful the space was. Once the server got to our table he informed us that they were out of 2 of their mains and 1 app. By the time our server got back with our drinks they were now out of a 3rd main, it being a very small menu we could not find anything we could eat as a main so we had a fantastic app, finished our drinks & found somewhere else. Our server informed us that coming on a weekday or early in the night on a weekend (I never though 730pm was late) to ensure theres more food available.
So yes, it was good beautiful space and had the appeal that the food us fantastic, the app we had was wonderful. But if we go again, we will have to be sure to go on a different day.
Excellent food and beautiful ambience. Sad they had run out of one of their only three mains and the one I was looking forward to. The alternate options we delicious none the less. The service staff seemed to be stretched thin that night and was not initially overly friendly. However the food and ambience easily made up for this.
The number of menu choices was surprisingly small, and the two pasta choices included no seafood or meats - surprising. However the foods we chose were excellent and very attractively presented. Prices are somewhat high, however we all enjoyed the experience, and look forward to returning.
Food was exceptional and they also a very good cocktail selection. I recommend it!
Excellent food and service.
Service was attentive, the food was excellent! Off the beaten path which makes it feel like a secret find!
Overall a great experience! Food was delicious, service was awesome!
Food and service were great . Sad that they had run out of the tuna .
It is always perfect, we have such a hard time picking. Our favorite spot
Our favorite place for fresh and local.
Menu is always changing.
Terrific staff and excellent service.
You won't be disappointed!
Although Eliot & Vine was a little "off the beaten track" we had a wonderful dinner. We were lucky to get a reservation, and can understand why. The food was amazing, the service was attentive and, in all, it was one of the best dinners we had in Halifax. Next time we're in town, we will certainly revisit. Thank you for a lovely dinner.
Great business meal, great wines food and service. Will definitely be back.
Fabulous food and service. Hidden gem in Halifax and a must try! Excellent wine selection and value.
Every single bite was absolutely scrumptious! Would highly recommend!
