Incredibly clear why Bar Kismet hit North America's top 50 list this year. We dined with 4 people. The hosts were incredibly... quick and attentive, and provided expert feedback on menu items when asked. I was impressed by the drink menu, the Kale-ing MeSoftly was a particularly well crafted and probably one of the most thought provoking drinks I've had in the past little while.The non-alcoholic options made one of the diners we were with feel incredibly included, and you could tell just as much care wasput into them as the alcoholic options on the menu. Dishes came out very quickly and were hands down all great. I'd honestlylean toward preferring the veg dishes (Particularly the beet and endive), but don't think that speaks poorly of the fish on themenu, it just goes to show how much care is put in throughout the whole thing. The grilled mackerel and the striped bass cameout a bit slower than the other courses, but that's to be expected with the size of the protein. Dessert was reasonable as well,with the pavlova being a standout - The meringue tasted like a molasses spice cookie, and the tiramisu being pretty darn good aswell. Overall great experience with Bar Kismet and would implore anyone looking for a great, seafood focused dining experienceto grab a reservation! Read more

Such a cute bar, deserving of 5 stars! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. The carrots and crab were incredible.... The butter profile was delicious. Carrot before the horse cocktail. Just try it. It works. Read more

this is my favourite restaurant in Halifax, maybe my favourite restaurant I've ever been to. Every single dish is mind blowingly... delicious. I visit Halifax about 2 times every year and since my first visit, always make a plan to eat here for a night or twowhen I'm in town. I can't applaud the waitstaff, bartenders, or Chef & Kitchen enough. The flavours that come to you in everydish ate perfectly balanced and keep us excited to try more, beyond our favourites. Here are some pictures from my visit(s)this past April. Read more

Over our Halifax holidays we?ve focused on food and drink, and this place was tied for top of the list. Overall an amazing... dinner, great ambiance, and good service. Highly recommend everything we tried, and would return again if we could. Food: Westarted with Raw Oysters (small dish but packs a delicious punch; toppers are flavourful and overpower the oyster itself; stillrecommend), bread (standard but well priced; few ?dipping? dishes), and Tuba Tartare (toppings are potent and you mix them in toyour liking, including an aioli with matches the skinny fries it?s served with; recommend). The mains were Carrots, Crab andBernaise (strongly recommend; best dish of our trip; not as sweet as expected, but so so good) and Grilled Perch (stronglyrecommend; umami, with possibly pickled celery giving sour notes to compliment a minty/cilantro chimichurri on the perch).Dessert was strawberry rhubarb eclair (simple but creamy and delicious). In general I will say celery and salt are commoningredients, but I loved it. Drinks: We love complex drinks, so while all were delicious, our favourite were Approaching ease(tangerine sweetness to offset herbal feature of gentian and fur) and Pinkshinyultrablast (favourite of the night). Others wereBadge of Honour, Mint Condition (least complex, but good to balance heavier Bitter Optimist), Bitter Optimist (old fashionedstyle; cherry came through at the end), and King of Impracticality (clarified drink; dessert drink that?s coconut forward).

We brought our 16month toddler with us and we had an amazing time. No high chairs but we still had a great time on the patio.... The food, the drinks, the servers, the ambiance was perfection. We would highly recommend. We had both pastas, the raw scallops,the floppy disk, bread and marinated olives and everything was delicious. We will definitely come back on our next trip toHalifax.
