You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The fish was fresh, flavorful, and you could actually see generous pieces of real fish in every bite. And the fries deserve a special mention: perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious! As Belgians, we're very picky about our fries, so that's about the highest compliment we can give. The desserts were incredible, worth saving room for! My favorite was the beer chocolate cake, which was simply outstanding. The service was just as memorable. Our server was genuinely friendly, attentive, and always made sure we were enjoying our meal. To top it all off, the owner was warm, welcoming, and delighted to share the fascinating history of this beautiful historic building. They've also done an amazing job with the design and atmosphere, making the whole experience feel special. A fantastic meal, wonderful people, and a beautiful setting. We can't wait to come back!

Jan 11 & Apr 11…read more You can only live in Dartmouth so long before you end up at downtown stalwart Celtic Corner, and that's where my wife and I found ourselves on a post-holidays weekend, when looking for a relaxed meal. We leaned into the Irish options on the menu (don't you dare call them British!), as I ordered the Trinity Steak Boxty, and my wife went with the Curry 'N' Chips, with added chicken. Our food came out to us in quick order, and we were soon happily chomping away on our brown foods My wife's curry and chips is a pub classic, and while I appreciate that the curry was served on the side and not making the fries soggy, it is very not visually appealing to see plain diced chicken on a pile of fries. Once it got a dousing of the curry sauce it looked a little better, but let's be honest, a dish of assorted shades of yellow and brown isn't winning any beauty contests anytime soon. When reading the menu, I had incorrectly remembered the boxty as a pastry dish. However, while it is a dish of meat and sauce in a carb shell, it's actually more rustic than a pastry, with the exterior comprised of shredded potatoes. The potato pancake had a significant char on the edges that was just seconds from being full-on burnt, but the flavour (and crisp edges) worked well with the indulgently rich filling of steak, mushrooms and onions in a cream sauce. I'm happy to note that the bits of tenderloin were pleasantly tender and not at all dry, which isn't always the case in these sorts of dishes. Service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. A return visit saw us returning on a bustling Friday evening during Burger Week Bash. I wasn't on a Burger Bash mission, but I figured that I would have the opportunity to try regular menu items many times in the future, plus I had a blood donation scheduled for the following week and I could use the iron top-up. The Irish Burger was a hefty, half-pound patty (a mix of lamb and pork), topped with red cabbage, goat cheese, fried onions and a garlic aioli. I appreciated the unique mix of meats for the patty, and while I'm not confident in a high lamb content, it did have a good, meaty flavour and had a decent crust on it, although it was a little overworked or compacted and too dense as a result. Some people hate on smash burgers for their ubiquity, but that style of burger avoids things like this. The toppings all kinda got lost together in the creamy mess of the goat cheese, but they worked fairly well; saltiness, savouriness, and a hint of crispness from the slaw and fried onions. A brioche-ish bun was nicely toasted and held up well against the onslaught. My wife's maple curry pasta felt like a flashback to the 2000s when this dish was on the cutting edge of Canadian fusion cuisine. It was familiar and approachable, and it was nice that they had a gluten-free pasta option as well. The Celtic Corner could use a menu revamp and upgrade their plating, but it's still a welcoming neighbourhood local that's served Dartmouth for many years, and will do so for many more to come.

The sandwiches were great across the board: the pork belly and pineapple burger, the jerk chicken sandwich, the "double-jug" smash and the (actually good GF-bun) cheeseburger were all as good as any of us have had in recent memory ("best burger ever" was a reaction to the pork belly/pineapple). But what struck us most was the unbelievably good side salad: the combo of (obviously farm-fresh) greens, apple and subtle pickling with the lemon/maple dressing was memorable. Easy 5.

Alright, so I'm officially bad at taking notes on Battery Park. Granted, in the past we've either…read moregone with friends or been pretty busy, but taking four trips to actually get my first set of notes is a bit embarrassing. It's wild to think that Battery Park has been open for nearly a decade, but the years go by quickly! I'd only been there once before we left NS for several years, and once we returned and got a place in Dartmouth, I knew we'd be here frequently. Burgers and beer - what's not to like?! This first documented visit saw me diving into the Ace Burger part of the menu. I've loved Ace's burgers since their start in the kitchen at Gus' Pub, and I'm glad that they survived the ebb and flow of food trends, un like several other gourmet burger joints. I opted for the Dartmouth-Style Jughead, which is a sort of fancied-up version of In-N-Out's cult favourite, the Animal-Style burger, which involves cooking the patty in mustard on the flat top, and topping it with a messy burger sauce. Battery Park's iteration didn't evoke my vague memories of In-N-Out quite the same way that Stillwell's similarly-themed Burger Week offering did, but it was undeniably an excellent burger. Two, smashed patties with wonderfully crisp edges were lovingly topped with gooey slices of cheese, "Dartmouth sauce" and caramelized onions. This wasn't a pure umami bomb though, as classic accoutrements of lettuce, tomato and a pickle helped brighten up and balance out the burger. The fries were also top notch; the skin-on, hand-cut fries were nice and crispy, and addictively salty. My wife stuck with her long-running favourite, the Pig Mac, which unsurprisingly has pork subbing in for beef in another homage to a famous burger. The flavour is spot-on, and much, much better than its namesake, as in addition to the superior ingredients and execution, it doesn't come with that weird McDonald's aftertaste and regret. As we often do to get the best of both worlds, my wife had gotten a salad so that we could share our different sides. Battery Park's Caesar salad stuck close to the classic recipe, but stood out from the forgettable masses of this ubiquitous side thanks to their deeply rich and flavourful, house-made dressing, fried capers and real bacon. On my next time there, summer was now in full swing, and we snagged a table on the back patio. It was my first time out there, and I was impressed by the space. Patios in very urban settings often have limited real estate, but Battery Park's was a very good size, and had a chill vibe, like it was somebody's (large and busy) back deck. I wasn't feeling particularly burger-y with the heat, so I chose the mushroom dumplings and miso salad, while my other half went with the pork belly and pineapple burger. It was a little bit of a wait with a full house inside and out, but a cold beer and great company made it pass quickly. The dumplings were deep fried to a deep brown, but didn't taste at all burnt, with the spectacularly crisp wrapper encasing the rich mix of chopped mushrooms inside. A dipping sauce of perhaps soy and chili sauce brought added layers of flavour, and a little salad of radish and green onions added a splash of colour and freshness. My miso and ginger salad was very good, with plentiful fresh veg, apple and crisp slices of fried tofu that were beautifully encrusted with white and black sesame seeds, although the overall flavour profile wasn't as Asian as I expected. The namesake ingredients of the creamy dressing didn't really stand out, but it was a tasty salad nonetheless. My wife's burger was an impressive sight, with glistening, glazed slices of pork belly and a grilled section of pineapple on top of one of Ace's always-fantastic patties. The combination of sweet and savoury was a winning one, and it made me think of one of the first "gourmet" burgers I ever had, the Ultimate Burger at The Henry House, which also comes with pineapple. As expected, the top-notch fries were good to the last fry, and I should know, as I finished off what my wife didn't have room for! I suppose the idiom that "a lot of ink has been spilled" doesn't apply in this digital age, but fixtures like Battery Park still deserve attention for the great job that they're still doing after all these years.

There's plenty of shade for sun dodgers, servers galore on the decks and the usual pub fare if you're eating.
