Crown Bistrot - Halifax

Wow, it's been a while since I've reviewed a cocktail bar, but this place was really impressive.

The service at this restaurant is good, the food is decent with limited options, but they have unique drinks and cocktails with a wide selection. The prices are high, and personally, I don't think it's worth it.

Whenever I find myself in big cities, I make it a point to visit the Chinatowns. I must admit, my love for the movie Chinatown may have influenced this tradition, but it is not the main reason for my visits.

We stayed at the hotel and had all our breakfasts at this restaurant, as well as several suppers and a lunch. Without exception, the meals were wonderful. Tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet was to-die-for every single day. Hot food was hot, and varied each day. The most awsome flatbreads and different styles of potatoes. The cold foods were fresh and delicious. Lunch and suppers were awesome as well. Their fish and chips were my favourite, but everything was great. Above all, the staff were super friendly, very attentive and experts at their jobs. They even remembered our names, and would come out to greet us, even when we were only passing by. The staff and management of this restaurant are to be commended for providing such a superb dining experience every day.! Highly recommended.

Four of us had dinner on a night where the place we intended to eat had a 75 min. wait time and was super noisy. We checked on Open Table, found this restaurant, hoofed it over and were somewhat dubious when we walked in. WELL! The service was great, it was relatively quiet, the drinks were generous, and we were quite happy with our choice. The price was good too. Yes, we definitely would go back again.
