Customer Reviews

One of my top three restaurants in Halifax. My husband and I usually get the Five Fish Experience when we come, but this time I tried the Scallop Grenobloise and I'm so happy I did, because it was absolutely amazing. It might be my new favourite here. My husband enjoyed his Five Fish but commented that the half lobster tail, though good, was noticeably bigger when we came last year. Our waiter was attentive and professional, and our table by a window off the main room was perfect. Loved our experience and will continue coming back when we visit. No noticeable paranormal activity.
Great food beautiful plates but a bit over price. Great service! Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Trout cooked perfectly. lobster risotto was amazing. Halibut was overcooked just a bit and dried. Overall experience was great.
One of the best seafood meals I've had! Got the five fish experience and it was amazing. All of the seafood was cooked perfectly, so it was juicy, spring with the right amount of bite, juicy, and moist. The risotto as well was insanely good. It was so flavourful and played well with the cheese and the seafood. The whole dining experience was great. The atmosphere was very fancy and the staff was extremely kind and welcoming. Definitely worth a try for the experience and the great food. I feel like the price is really justified! Our friend had some specific vegetarian and alcohol restrictions, and they had an entire menu for vegetarian options if you ask for it. As well, they were very open to doing any modifications if necessary to the meal to meet dietary needs
