The menu was different than what we had seen on line, however the choices were good and the food was excellent. Our server was great
The food was amazing. It pleased everyone. My kids said it was the best french toast and eggs they’d ever eaten. And my duck eggs benny was truly the best eggs benny I’ve ever eaten. The service was wonderful. And I love the ambiance. This place is a gem. I hope it sticks around for a while
This was our first time trying this place and our friends and I had a wonderful evening and food was delicious. Our young waiter made our evening very enjoyable and memorable.
Very interesting menu with lots of variety and good quality and portion sizes. Love that this restaurant sources its food locally! Our server was very informative of the menu, and even made sure to ask the kitchen to create a dairy free dessert for one of us that was dairy intolerant even though we didn’t ask, he just overheard us discussing the dessert menu and that it was unfortunate none of the options were dairy free! Will definitely go back, I’m very interested in trying the course chefs menu with the wine pairings

I went to the restaurant on its opening night and was blown away by the amazing atmosphere. It was very stylish and classy, and I enjoyed every dish I tried. The fish cakes and pumpkin croquettes were especially delicious, and the chicken burger had a flavorful Asian twist. My girlfriend really enjoyed the falafel burger as a great vegetarian option. This restaurant is truly unique and unlike anything else in Halifax. The prices were reasonable and the service was excellent. We will definitely be making this restaurant a must-visit whenever we are in town visiting family.
Our friends were RAVING about the meals they've had here in recent months so friends and I made reservations to dine here for our girls' Christmas dinner. The location is handy, lots of parking and the decor is simple and really nice. The staff was amazing, only topped by the dishes we ordered. We started with the ponzu fried chicken and dynamite cauliflower which were both delicious (even the friend who doesn't love cauliflower was living the cauliflower). We then moved to mains where we ordered the mushroom sea truffle risotto, the king oyster mushroom barley, and the filet mignon steak frites. Not only was the food delicious, everything came out so artfully prepared with so much thought put into everything placed on each plate. Even though we were stuffed, we ordered two desserts to share the chocolate ganache and the eggnog bread pudding with homemade ice cream. What an incredible dining experience! We have already decided that we are heading back again in a couple of weeks for a birthday celebration! This is an amazing restaurant find in Halifax!
The chicken burger was un.real! We had lobster dumplings to start and then my gf and I ordered the chicken and falafel burgers. Delicious! I’m happy that we finally have such a restaurant in Halifax. Definitely recommend going there. The Chef came to our table and asked us how we liked our dishes. Ps. Prices are super reasonable for a bottle of wine as well.
Truly a treat for the tastebuds. If you like elevated cuisine at an affordable price this is the place for you. We had the vegan tasting menu which was fantastic. Very bold flavours that all worked together in perfect harmony. We also tried the Rizzotto, oysters, falafel, and a take on Japanese poutine with a nori reduction which was unbelievable. Not to mention that they make a 'maritime siracha ' which is fire in more ways than one. I will definitely be back.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Last night was our first visit to Mabata, and it definitely won’t be our last. It is such a classy, cozy and inviting space. As you walk in the door you are greeted with so many welcoming smiles and once you are seated you are given the story of the restaurant and it’s Chef. A Lovely added touch. From start to finish we had an amazing experience! The service was excellent! The food was absolutely incredible, with great portions and completely reasonable pricing. We cannot wait to come back and try Brunch some weekend soon!

The food was fantastic, pleasing everyone in my group. My children raved about the delicious French toast and eggs, while my duck eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had. The service was excellent and I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. This place is truly a hidden gem and I hope it remains open for a long time.
