Excellent lunch with the family! We tried the snow crab dip, crobster roll, haddock burger, and the kids burger, and they were... all excellent. The olive oil cake for dessert was also fantastic. Every single thing we tried was flavourful, well seasoned, andworth it. Will gladly be returning the next time we're in Halifax. Read more

Pretty good, very close to the ferry terminal. The itself place is nice, the food is not bad at all, reasonable prices. They... also have a patio which is always a plus for me. The menu could have a bit more variety but overall, a solid 4 stars. Read more

Great experience, we dines outdoors which is a very pleasantly shaded and cute area for warm summer days, as long as you can get... past the street noise. No issues for privacy, as their fence forms a great partition. The food was incredible, we had themussels and frites as well as the seared scallops and risotto. Plating was lovely, portions were perfect. The menu seemed a bitlimited at first glance, but this is the sort of place where you would not be disappointed with any choice made. Service wasperfectly timed and quick to bring the food. Read more

Don?t go hungry in Dartmouth. Located on Portland Street near the water is The Canteen. We had a great lunch and the Lobster... Rolls were the bomb. I also had the soup, curried vegetable. I wanted to upgrade the soup to the seafood chowder, but that is ameal on its own and they didn?t offer that. My partner had the Kale Salad which was excellent as a side the the Lobster Roll.This is a great restaurant, friendly staff, very clean and would go back again. Read more

This was one of our ?destination restaurants? on a June 2022 trip to Dartmouth and Halifax. We enjoyed local oysters, scallops... and pan-fried halibut. The sauces and preparations were spot-on, and everything was wonderfully fresh. We had a local NovaScotia wine as well that was perfect with the seafood. We finished with their signature carrot cake. The service was attentiveand professional, and we would return again if given the chance. Read more
