    we again had a wonderful experience at our favourite restraunt in Halifax. A visit here is always a highlight and highly recommended for the best Halifax has to offer. The food is second to none, both the seafood and meat were perfect

    Excellent service, but expensive, food was good, but not great. Potatoes could have used more seasoning, the duck I had wasn't tender, it was prepared correctly, but wasn't tender.

    The food was amazing, we had the lubster that was very nice and the halibut fish which was very well cooked but the fish was a bit expensive for the portion that was served. In general the food and the enviornment was very good but expensive.
