We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and was told the food was served "when it comes up" so great for sharing. We were fine with that (we thought) but it took 25 minutes or more for the first food to arrive, my friend's lobster mac and cheese, one I couldn't eat due to allergies. Another 25 minutes passed before my small salad finally arrived and then it became clear my other choice -- appetizer meat balls had never been ordered. The bar server was not that busy although when they realized we were not happy, the manager said they were "slammed" and consequently the service was not good. Simply terrible service and management as we had eaten at the Bicycle Thief where the service and food was outstanding and they served even more customers. We were still charged for this terrible food and service and there only compensation was for us to return the next day which clearly we had no desire to do so. When we returned to the Prince George Hotel where we were staying they told us they never recommend this restaurant as this is not an isolated experience. There are so many outstanding places to eat in Halifax, the Bicycle Thief, Five Fisherman to name but a few, so do yourself a favour and give this one a big pass.

However anything you need, they are happy to get - like drinks, salt, ketchup, silverware - lol - Just a great place for a relaxed meal, can sit outside under a cover if rain, just be patient, this isn't a 4 star place - but great relaxed fun.

One nice feature here is that they bring your food out as soon as it is ready, to serve at peak freshness. They don't hold all the meals until everyone's order is ready (good approach).Great patio, and good spot to watch the game at the bar.
