Started off with fresh oysters and the antipasto . Followed with the seafood stew which was loaded with seafood, absolutely fantastic! My son had the rack of lamb and that was amazing. Wife had lobster pasta and it was delicious. Our waiter Jack provided excellent service! Thank you Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Friendly accommodating service. Cute decor. Sat by the boardwalk, and there was drunk boat party close to us but I didn't mind because they had great taste in music. The complimentary red pepper spread was surprisingly good although the bread could have been warmed or toasted. The BBQ ribs were good and filling but that was typical BBQ sauce. The polenta fries were delicious. The lobster pasta was great and was a good portion. The butterscotch layered cake was delightfully moist. I enjoyed my High fashioned and other cocktail pictured but they could put more effort into presentation. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had an amazing dining experience here. For appetizers, we ordered the mussels and the sauce it was in was delicious, best ever! The cioppino was amazing as well! The fresh seafood and broth were outstanding. Our server Brandy was 5star and super friendly and attentive, she made my birthday special.

During our visit to Halifax this week, we dined at The Bicycle Thief and had an amazing experience. We enjoyed the outdoor seating option, especially since the weather was beautiful and sunny. The Italian food was superb, and the service provided by the friendly staff was excellent. We highly recommend trying out this restaurant!

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant recently and I must say that the service provided by our server (Paige, I believe) was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, attentive to detail, and provided top-notch service. I had a difficult time choosing between the fish cakes and seafood pasta, so Paige added a fish cake to my order so I could try both. The seafood pasta was outstanding, with perfectly cooked scallops and a fresh, flavorful lobster roll. The cocktails were delicious and balanced. The ambiance was lovely, although the bar area felt a bit cramped. Overall, I would like to thank Paige for her exceptional service. The Bicycle Club is fortunate to have her on their team. Cheers!
