    Kale and Quinoa Salad
    Tiffany W.

    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.

    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!

    JALAPEÑO CORNBREAD with tequila lime butter ($10)
    Risa H.

    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!

    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!

    This spot had the best ambience! It has a great view of the water but honestly the layout and decor made me just want to keep my eyes inside instead of on the Harbour! The food was really great - I had the chili glazed pork belly and the kale quinoa salad. Will definitely return!

    Kids pizza is huge!

    We had a lovely quick lunch on the patio. Fast friendly service was much appreciated. The food was delicious! I enjoyed the fish tacos, hubby had a fish sandwich and my 6 yr old had a pizza. Everyone was very happy and we would eat here again.

    Every course was fantastic, great service from Sean and fantastic views. I enjoyed the ambiance and laid back ambiance. But the fresh ingredients and skillful preparation and presentation make it great date night or casual nite out. Can't wait to try happy hour or lunch menus

    Charcoal veggies and beach house salad, great bargains at $6 each.
    Jeff O.

    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.

    My brother got the meatloaf which he stated was different...but delicious!
    Amber M.

    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!

    Grilled turkey sandwich
    Erin K.

    I went right after lunch, but still in time for happy hour. I had the Turkey sandwich, which is currently a special menu item but it was delicious! My waitress was very kind and made the perfect cocktail recommendation to pair with my meal. It was a 10/10 experience in a beautiful restaurant with a view!

    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.

    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.

    When Halloween came around and my wife and I were looking for some easy eats before the onslaught…read moreof trick-or-treaters, admittedly, R&B Kitchen was not our first choice. Unfortunately, many other people had a similar first choice as us - pizza - and 40 demoralizing, failed calls to Yeah Yeahs nudged us toward our backup plan. Ordering was easy on Skip, with about ten options to choose from. The offerings are mainly Caribbean - oxtail and jerk chicken-based dishes figure prominently - as well as some Southern influences. We ordered a mix of things to try as much as possible, going for the jerk chicken, ox tail, and Canadian loaded mac and cheese. Our order was ready very quickly, barely longer than the drive to get it. Even with said drive, we probably got our food an hour quicker than a slammed pizza place would have been. It's hard to say which dish was the clear winner, as as all were well executed, but the loaded mac and cheese got the most oohs and ahhs. Topped with a hefty dose of Brothers pepperoni, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms and green pepper, it was like a works pizza on mac and cheese, and it definitely worked! The jerk chicken had a really good pop of flavour from its complex mix of savoury seasonings, including a zesty heat that definitely made itself known, but didn't set off any smoke detectors. The meat was deftly cooked as well, with the thigh and two drums tender but not dry and overcooked. A generous serving of rice and peas, coleslaw and cornbread rounded out a container that was on the edge of needing further structural support! My choice was the ox tail - I love the fatty, beefy mix of meat and sauce, and the pinwheel-like tail bones are weird and fun to me. R&B's ox tail was a very good rendition, checking every box. Some very large beans showed up to bulk up the dish even more, and rice and peas soaked up all the saucy goodness. R&B likely cheats a bit with their cornbread and adds flour, but it was light, fluffy and delicious, so hard to complain about. On my next time darkening their doorway, I was dining solo and opted for the BBQ ribs. When you pick up a takeout container and it's got some heft to it, you know you're in for a hearty meal, and while this dish might not check a lot of boxes on Canada's Food Guide, you're not going to be hungry afterward! Three large ribs were nestled on top of a heap of mac and cheese, with a dark glaze that was savoury and sweet - but not too sweet. The ribs were meaty, and bites came away in easy chunks, signaling a spot on cook. Not to be outdone, the baked mac and cheese was well-executed and while not as over-the-top as the loaded version, it was still a great example of this comfort food classic. The green beans were a tasty surprise because I didn't know that they not only had garlic in them, but they had a *lot* of garlic in them. Vampires take heed! A large chunk of cornbread completed the meal with a golden brown crust on top, and pleasant crumb. It wasn't quite as fluffy as a cornmeal-only cornbread, but I can't begrudge them some wheat flour to help hold things together. Consider this review a song of praise, because R&B Kitchen is hitting all the right notes, and next time we order, they'll be second fiddle to no one.

We were seated promptly, the restaurant is bistro. Ethan came to bring our menus and water, left us for a few minutes for us to get settled in. We perused the drink menus, Mr. for a Hendricks martini, I for a virgin slow fizz. Ethan came back with a plate of bread and whipped butter, took our drink orders, leaving us to look at the food menu. It wasn't a very large menu, but enough choices to make it VERY difficult to choose because every dish looked like a special date night pick. We settled on calamari for me, 6 oysters for him. For dinner, he chose the duck, I went with the shrimp fettuccine. From the start, I can't tell you how amazing everything was. Dinner talk was almost non-existent because of how much we were enjoying the food. The duck was cooked perfectly. The shrimp, there was I estimate a pound of shrimp, with maybe a quarter pound of pasta. It was incredible. Throughout Ethan checked in on us to top up our water, see if we needed drink, if everything was to our liking. We didn't finish, because we wanted leftovers, and wanted to save room for dessert. That menu came, and everything looked wonderful. Asked Ethan what he would recommend, the Petit Fours, to share. He didn't try to upsell, he knew that would be enough. And it was. Mr. got a glass of port to go along with it, perfect. It was a perfect meal. Thank you Ethan, thank you Agricola.

All the seafood is fresh - you can also buy some if you want to make it yourself! But eat here, save yourself the hassle. Always get the fish and chips.

There is an outside patio area. Order and pay at the counter and they give you a number and you take a table. The order taker was very nice. We ordered the large lobster poutine, 2 piece fish and chips and the six scallops. We received our food. It took about 30minutes before getting food. But it was freshly prepared. The scallops were lightly breaded and not greasy. Texture of these local scallops were firmer and sweeter than ones I had in Portland Maine. The lobster poutine-a huge portion of buttery lobster over well cooked fries with a yummy white gravy-YUM. The fish and chips-nicely cooked and could tell the fish is FRESH. French fries were nicely cooked and not greasy. What a great Fresh seafood meal at this restaurant.
