We stopped by Salt + Ash in Halifax for happy hour and ended up having quite the feast!The Brothers Meats pepperoni plus pizza was a great start, with plenty of savoury, meaty flavour. The jalapeño cornbread was another standout....moist, flavourful, and with just the right amount of kick. The fish and chips were excellent, while the tater tot-chos were pure comfort food, loaded with melted cheddar, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Of course, we needed some veggies for balance, so the kale and quinoa salad totally counts! The perfect pairing throughout was the Mango Dragonfruit Sour. Super refreshing and fruity, with enough acidity to cut through all the richness of the meal. Great happy hour selection, lots of variety, and a fun spot to settle in for a feast. Definitely a place worth checking out when you're in Halifax! read more

4 of us came for a Saturday morning brunch. It was a gorgeous day so we sat on the patio overlooking the water. Ordered the standard coffee to start. Waiter was awesome. Made sure we were ok every time he was in the vicinity. I ordered the mushroom Benedict with the hollandaise on the side. It was great with the locally made truffle cream cheese. I did have to ask for a steak knife to be able to cut through the bread. It was a well done piece of pizza dough. Tasty but tough to get through. Came with tater tots and a donair sauce to dip them in. My husband ordered the stuffed baked potato. He loved it but said next time he will order the side salad on the side and ask for more dressing. I ended the meal with a cool glass of rose. We will definitely be back. read more

We had read such positives about this place and had to check it out. The staff is so friendly and the food was delicious and plentiful . I ordered their hardy chowder stuffed with all kinds of seafood with a side salad added... that was my lunch, plenty. I wanted to try the jalepino corn bread but not the full order so she was able to sell me a single piece ,it was delicious ! My husband got the burger and fries and really enjoyed! The only negative is really the noise level inside. If the weather allows eat on their terrace overlooking Halifax harbor. read more

Very clean and comfortable restaurant with a great view of the harbor. The fish and chips were the best I've had. Tender and flaky inside and crispy on the outside. Service was also friendly and prompt. read more

Loved this place. Visiting from LA, and I wanted to get some good fish and chips. Thankfully Yelp didn't let me down. The spot had gorgeous decor, nice and open space, and a deck over looking the water. Outside there's only 2-3 tables by heaters, and we weren't at one, but our server brought us blankets. Service was great! Now on to the food. I loved the batter, the tartar sauce, of course the fish was made to perfection, and the fries were so good! I got a salad on the side which was well dressed with a house made salad dressing. The table wanted to share a pizza and I'm so glad we tried one. It was really flavorful and I loved the crust. Great service, great vibe, great food, I definitely recommend. read more

Had lunch here. It was so amazing. The ocean views are spectacular! Big windows on there sides! The food and the service was outstanding too. I didn't get one of their wood fired pizzas but several in our group did. That looked delish. I went for the burger. It was incredible. So many layers. All of them completely yummy. If you're in Halifax you need to spend some time here. We enjoyed ourselves so much. The place is beautiful too. Thanks to the team for a great lunch adventure! read more

Thirty minutes wait for a hot tea mid afternoon. Never arrived. Servers out of control. Managers absent. Wait staff running the show. Servers passing off tables to others. Saw another couple walk out as we did. Lack of management and service. Menu was odd too. Pass. read more

Salt + Ash Beach House is a great restaurant by the Halifax waterfront - we were able to sit outside for lunch. We ordered the Fish & Chips ($28.50), Crab & Leek Chowder ($18.50), the Iceberg Wedge Salad ($18.50), and the Jalapeno Cornbread ($10). Our favorite was probably the Crab & Leek Chowder - it was different but super flavorful with lots of chunks of crab in it. Your could really taste the jalapenos in the cornbread, but it wasn't overpowering. The Iceberg Wedge Salad was disappointing - it was heavily coated with dressing, too much cheap cheese and too much processed bacon bits. The Fish + Chips came with a nicely sized piece of fried fish which was crispy on the outside; make sure to ask for malt vinegar to go with that! Overall we had a nice lunch outside at Salt + Ash! read more

My sister and I took a trip for our first time to Halifax and we went here our first night. It was a Friday around 730 pm and we were able to get a table outside with a beautiful view! Our waitress was so nice and she stopped to talk with us about local shops. We really liked our food, my burger was really good and the patties were nice and crispy. I would definitely recommend this place to others! read more

Salt and Ash lager. Very good Jurk Haddock tacos17 CD. Very tasty. They were not very large but with the tater tots it was a nice meal. They did not have any hot spice, some did not want to order for fear of hot spice. Meatloaf sandwich was very good and was of a substantial size. Service was good Note they were using the brunch menu well after 12 on a Saturday. read more

In the touristy waterfront district, Salt + Ash manages to attract a crowd of locals, and in particular, local white-collar professionals -- despite the "beach house" name, nobody is showing up in shorts and flip-flops. The name is nonetheless pretty apt, because it's right on the water and boasts a convivial atmosphere -- cheerful and quite loud, but in a pleasant way, with festive vibes that don't cross the line into drunken shouting or anything like that. The decor, like the patrons, is quite polished, and floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around most of the restaurant, affording impressive views from virtually every table. Those windows, btw, are practically equivalent to one-way mirrors -- from the outside, it's not apparent that Salt + Ash is actually open, even when the dining room is jam-packed. The menu leans toward hearty fare, such as chowder and deep-fried this and that, but also offers lighter bites, such as crudo and "charcoal veggies." There's plenty of seafood, and quite a few dishes are inflected with spicy elements usually associated with Mexico, the southwestern U.S. or Japan (e.g., jalapeno cornbread "elote" with queso fresco, tater tots with sour cream, salsa and avocado, and scallops with chili oil and cilantro). There's also plenty of pizza, which is ubiquitous around Nova Scotia, perhaps a legacy of Giovanni Caboto, better known as John Cabot. The pizza that you'll find around the province is often quite good, and Salt + Ash's pizza is no exception. We ordered the "maritime mushroom" pie, and it had a pretty exemplary crust (lightly charred, foldable but not floppy), plus a legitimately wide variety of fungi, including maitake, shitake and portabella. (The variety of cheeses, however, could be scaled back -- the Boursin-style cheese was a bit overpowering.) Fish and chips are also textbook -- one enormous fillet, a lively tartar sauce and a stack of battered-spud spears. I strongly recommend the "beach house salad," which is a big bowl of vibrant lettuces, pickled red onions and shaved beets. The aforementioned charcoal veggies are also excellent; they consist of various root vegetables cooked al dente and plated with style. The salad and the charcoal veggies are both steals at just $6CAD. And speaking of prices, they're extremely reasonable across the board, given the quality, the upscale vibe and the super-skillful service. You'll pay about as much for similar dishes at the boardwalk shacks just a few hundred yards away. So yeah, if you're strolling around the waterfront or working nearby and feeling hungry, Salt + Ash is among your very best bets. read more

I am writing to say that a my extended family and I had what can only be described as a devastating experience tonight at your restaurant. We had travelled over 4,000 miles some of us (I live here and hosted) for a memorial for our parents whose ashes we dispersed. The mean was intended and something we would do together as a family the first time we were together is years. 1. We requested our reservation be moved forward 30 minutes, we did this by email and phone message. No one got back to us and we waited all 17 of us for 45 minutes as a result. 2. We were seated at two tables. We all ordered. One table was served and the second table waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for dinner. We were told that the delay for half the party was because there were appetizers at that table. Nearly two hours between the service of the mains! As a result and as there were some children in the party, half of our family ate and left while the rest of us sat beside their empty table and waited for our meals. I am 73 years old and saw half the family that had flown in for this evening walk away, I couldn't expect 2-4 year olds to wait for two hours. Our once in a decade get together was ruined. The manager who I spoke to was quite belligerent and said I was not fair to be upset and to cry. She said that appetizers are prepared and served and only then are mains prepared. The irony is some of the family is in the restaurant business, my daughter-in-law was communications director for David Chang at Momofuko in NYC, this is not how it is managed in professionally run restaurants. The food was excellent but the management was non-existent and non professional. The front desk staff were dancing behind the desk, the manager was very rude and unkind. I am mortified that I took my family to eat with you and ruined our event with this booking. I am ashamed of Halifax and heart broken tonight. I have no idea when we will be together again and am so disappointed in myself for my inability to arrange for us to eat together after we said good bye to my parents. read more

Came here after trying to get a table at the French not on the same block where no one even acknowledged us. So the service at this restaurant was a welcome surprise. Every one was very nice, the vibe in the restaurant was very relaxed, and the food came out in good time and was delicious! read more

My friend and I came here on a late Sunday night. The place was already thriving with their bingo night. The ambiance of the restaurant has a beach house vibe with modern architecture and fireplaces everywhere. They also have outdoor seating on a patio with fire pits as well with the view of the harbour. Happy hour happens twice a day every day and we happened to be in during happy hour as well. We ordered their pizza of the week which was their posh Hawaiian pizza and their nachos but with tater tots. The food was really good, and the service was great as well bringing smiles on everyone's faces. If you're in Halifax, I would definitely come back here on any night. read more

Great food. Great device . Great atmosphere. The six of us were very pleased. I had fish and hips and jerk clams and cops.

Had a nice lunch with some friends at about 1 PM. Quite noisy in the restaurant. The food and service was really good though. I had the smoked haddock chowder which was delicious and different. Friends had the haddock tacos because it was taco Tuesday. The single piece of haddock was deep-fried. Hubby had the babe burger which might've been a little overcooked. Fries were hot and crispy and good. A kid got the kids pizza which was huge for a kid serving. The ice cream of the day was strawberry pineapple and three scoops, served in a chilled bowl. All in all a good experience, except hard to talk with the noise level. Harbor views are exceptional unless it's foggy. read more

We had lunch at Salt & Ash on our only day in Halifax. We knew it was a good choice upon walking in. A modern, yet cozy feel with fire place and wood burning oven. The dining room is set on a pier so overlooks the harbor. The staff were very attentive to two small children. We enjoyed the delicious burger cooked over the open fire, lobster corn chowder, kale Caesar, and grilled vegetables. All dishes were noteworthy. For ambiance, food quality, great views, and staff, this was very good value. Highly recommend. read more
