Everything we tasted so far are bursting with flavor and are very unique combinations. However last night the way we were treated quite upset me and my friends because we made a reservation for 8 pm and when we got there they told us our table is not ready , people were sitting in our table just ordered their desserts. We were seated at the bar and told to wait for that table to finish, even though they take your credit card info to make the reservation ! We had to wait 43 minutes to be able to sit at the table we made reservations and our server did not say anything like oh we are sorry, apologies nothing, as if this is okay for this restaurant to do this to their patrons. I worked in hospitality and we always either let people know that they need to leave by certain time because that table is reserved or we didn’t seat people there close to the reservation time. Worse case scenario sincere apology or an offer of a dessert would have been nice after making us wait 43 mins for a table we reserved.

They sat us *right* next to the only other table in the place. By the time we left no other table had shown up, so it was a weird experience overall.On the plus side the food was great and the prices were decent.

We sat at the bar and it was clear the staff are experts at their craft as they put intention into their creations, including making their own liquors. We also got oysters which were some of the best oysters Ive ever had. We also had the olives and were mind blown. The staff are friendly and take pride in what they do. We loved it! We will be back next time we are in Halifax and will recommend it to everyone.
