We started with mussels and truffle fries. Both very good, especially the aioli that came with the fries. For mains we had the lobster dish (all claw meat) and the Salmon. Both cooked perfectly and good portions. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and prices, for a dinner out in downtown Halifax, were reasonable. Definitely recommend. View all feedback.
What Norbert Hauck doesn't like about 5 Social:
Hello, after arriving in the restaurant, the girls at the entrance ddor told us, that our reservation could not be find. The next answer was, that the kitchen will close at 8pm und we have only ten minutes left to decide, but it was at least 8:20pm ?!? Next they offert us a table next to the door in an empty part of the restaurant. So it was clear for us, that they didn 't want to have a family like us in their resta... View all feedback.
Great drinks, landscape and service. would recommend
Service was fine, but it seemed as though the wait staff was about as despondent as us when we sat down and saw the menu. We ended up each having two drinks and leaving because the menu wasn't appealing at all. Drinks came out slowly, and the espresso martinis were more like spiked cold coffee given the actual massive volume of the drink. Even the shooters list was dismal. Really disappointed that there was a complete lack of shareable appetizers, given that it's literally named 5 Social. The main courses just looked like every other place I could've made a reservation at. Conceptually seemed to be a bit of a flop. I'd rather just commit to going to 5 Fish if I wanted to eat off of a menu like 5 Social's. So disappointed.
Despite us being the only table with customers for the majority of our visit, our meal took 2 hours because of the wait time for each course. 5 of us did dine around. The shrimp appetizer was excellent however the haddock gratin main course was just ok as it lacked in flavour. Our server was awkward. He made strange jokes and we often saw him casually sitting at the bar. We had to ask for drinks and refills every time.
Some of the best service we've had! Will was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and read our group well. Drinks were excellent, food was both beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. 10/10 would recommend!
Our first time there, service was excellent, food was great, will return in the future
