    Poor service. Waited a ridiculously long time to even get into the restaurant with a vanishing hostess. Then we waited 35 minutes just to get our drink order, and only then after flagging down a different server, in a less than full restaurant. Food was good but the whole situation was very off-putting. I won't go back to Sea Smoke on future trips to Halifax!

    We have been to Sea Smoke many times, and have always enjoyed it. This time somewhat different, indifferent service, food less than expected; the tenderloin was poorly trimmed, and served cool ( but cooked properly ), vegetables greasy. Otherwise as usual, beautiful harbour view, lovely atmosphere.
