Absolutely loved sitting at the bar and having Christian surprise us with cocktails - they were all great! The chicken liver waffles were what inspired our visit but the beef tartar was honestly my favourite I’ve had anywhere! The corn & chanterelle pasta was absolutely delicious and the textures and flavour combination of the pork belly was very unique and thoroughly enjoyed as well. Great presentation & fantastic service - we will be back!

Fantastic ambience with warm/kind service (shoutout to Hope!). Dinner was delicious, and service was quick. Staff was great to recommend menu items that were top notch. And finishing off with a scoop of tiramisu fresh out of the pan? Yes.

    This was our favourite dining spot in Halifax. We were so impressed with service and food quality our first visit we booked a return visit six days later. Sarah served us on our first visit. Kate served us this visit. Both ladies were upbeat and excellent with their recommendations, accuracy and pace. The food we ordered was exceptionally good. I had the lobster cappelletti on both visits. The butter sauce was unique, plentiful, and better than every other hollandaisesque pasta sauce I’ve tried. After our meal we tried the house limoncello. It was a definite hit.
