Stuck at the Halifax airport on a 7 hour layover and we were starving. After being in London for…read moreover a week, we were sick of British pub food so the other restaurant offering in the airport didn't appeal to us. Didn't know what I was going to order initially, but after passing by several other tables and seeing how good the nachos grande looked, I couldn't resist. It hit the spot. A huge serving, my mom and I couldn't even finish them. It feeds two people generously. I added barbacoa for $5 which was a bit dry if I'm being honest, but still tasty. We also split the chicken flautas which were also quite good-- the avocado crema was delicious. But ended up being too much food. The nachos would have been enough. The variety of hot sauces were appreciated. Everything from mild to 5 chili spicy. Our server was friendly.

If you drive out past Dartmouth and Coal Harbour, you will eventually pass a place called Lake…read moreEcho...Once you pass that you will eventually hit Porter's Lake. My first experience heading to this pub occurred when a friend and I had the use of a vehicle for a night in 2nd year. We decided that there must be a few cute little restaurants along the eastern shore and off we drove. After passing 'this street' and 'that street,' we decided that quaint/moderately upscale restaurants were not going to be found. Thus, we settled on the Porter's Lake Pub, or the 'PLP' as the locals know it. We were impressed with the pub grub that we quickly acquired, as well as the reasonably priced beers. A few years have passed and I now live with someone (Mark) from Porter's Lake and have been to the PLP several more times. Wing night on Thursdays is particularly worth your while as is Halloween. The Porter's Lake Pub is your typical small town Canadian bar. Everyone goes there, and as a result a real community feel thrives in these places. I recommend using the new wind turbine (Porter's Lake is progressive!) as a directional guide and give the PLP a try next time your driving down the eastern shore.

We ordered the roast beef, which we thought was pretty standard, then I got fish tacos that were well fried and lightly battered, and it didn't have the traditional mayo or avocado, but a Thai sauce with a hint of lemon. Both dishes came with fries, they were kinda average, crispy, and fresh, perfect amount of salt. We would probably go again to this nice little joint.

I've wanted to come to this restaurant for awhile and it was definitely a huge disappointment…read more We first walked in and waited about five minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us. She was laughing at the multiple old men at the bar. When we finally got her attention her words were 'you look confused' and I was - there was no sign about where to sit. Once seated my boyfriend got the engine room burger and ceaser salad - the lettuce on the bun was literally browning. I got the turkey dinner daily special and aside from the black hair on top of my turkey, it was dry and has absolutely no flavour. We waited a really long time for a refill. The atmosphere was grungy and definitely didn't feel welcoming. The most attention we received was from the multiple flies around us and our food. I wouldn't recommend this place and definitely won't be back.

But inside it's a largeish, busy pub with a dance floor, sports on the TVs, and - probably - lots of busy locals enjoying themselves. It's on the country pub side of things, with lots of wood, neon beer signs, that sort of thing. But the menu is big. My caesar salad was good; my chicken wings (they were on special) were just OK, a little on the thin side. Fast, efficient service. Seems full of friendly locals.

Our main course was crispy cod tails on lemon risotto topped with a terrific sauce of caramelized corn. The sauce was spicy and made the dish. For desert we had a lovely blueberry concoction with the unappealing name of "blueberry grunt"! This wasn't foodie food but super fresh ingredients prepared simply and beautifully. After dinner we moved into the main dining room for a terrific musician playing mostly NS folk music. All in all it was a great evening. Great food, great music, friendly people. If you're in Truro, don't miss the Nook.

Ambiance good But four of us were seated at 6:07 pm 5…read moreminutes after another group of four. We were going to concert next door at 7:30. Our order was placed at 6:14. We were keeping a close eye on time. At 6:48 we asked about the order and we were told it had only been 20 mins. Not true! At 7:10- still no sign of food - so at 7:13 we decided to get it all to go. We left a 10% tip despite slow service. The other table of four had been served, had eaten, and left by 7:05. I ordered fish and chips. Batter bit thick so uncooked inner dough in few places but fish was delicious. The chips??? I'm just going to post a picture showing total - quantity minus one chip - couldn't eat them! Cole slaw delicious. If you go before a show give them two hours! I honestly think the order was held up. Maybe lots of orders ahead?? but that other table had plenty of time!

Even though we knew about where it was, we walked right past the beautiful two-story historic house initially. We knew by taking a look at the website they do not accept reservations, which was fine with us. We were, however, going on a Friday night. On walking into the main entry, that space was packed wall-to-wall. Within a few short minutes, one of the staff greeted us. They don't exactly have a formal wait list here, from what I could tell. The staff member offered us the drinks menu and asked if we'd like to order something while we waited on a table. We ordered up a couple of pints, then looked around for some open space to stand. They have two standing bar rails, one in the main area near the bar itself and another one in the middle dining area. This place has about the most creative layout of booths and tables I've ever seen. They do have an outdoor patio out back, but we didn't take a look at that. They have quite a few very comfy two-person booths around the interior. It appeared the way the wait list worked was that they either have a phenomenal memory, or they actually use the bar tab you open to work like a wait list. It seems to really be more about how many you have in your party, and the exact size of any tables/booths that open up. We might have waited about 30 minutes or so for our table for two up in the front of the main dining room. Every single person on the wait staff here is amazing. Let me just get that out of the way. The beer list is great, loaded up with so many good local and Nova Scotia craft beer options. The food menu is what really makes this place special, though. We were on vacation, so we may have a tendency for our eyes to be bigger than our stomachs can handle. There was just so many amazing looking dishes. We started out with a pickle jar, fried taters, and the tomatoes appetizers. I have to say, and my wife agrees, the tomatoes dish was the best of everything we had. Its made up of sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, shallots, capers, and garlic chips. All that is sitting on top of creme fraiche. By the time you're finishing the dish, you start thinking about a straw to finish up that creme fraiche. Good grief, that was so good. Don't pass on the fried taters, though. Those seemed to be mashed potatoes formed into rectangular big fries, cooked almost like panko and served with horseradish sour cream. After all that, we could only muster splitting the deli style chop salad with cold water shrimp on it. Our great waitress talked us into an order of the brown bread, a very soft kind of Irish soda bread I believe. That bread just melts in your mouth. If you decide to venture out to The Narrows, you're in for a total experience. You'll feel like you stepped back in time to a real British pub... the house must be from somewhere around the mid 1800s. Every room is warm and cozy, with beautiful woodwork and curious antiques in all sorts of nooks and crannies. You may have quite a long wait depending on the size of your party and how busy the place is, but trust me... its worth every minute.

Too bright, no real design or "comfort" feeling and the large windows seem to just take away the pub feel and you feel like you are in a fish tank.

We also ordered graveyard that came in a tiny disposable plastic coleslaw container that you would get from a food truck.
