We visited this restaurant a while back on our last visit to explore the newly designed area. This restaurant is one of many fairly new additions to the area. It is inspired by local East Coast cuisine with an elevated experience.
We tried:
1. Burrata & Zucchini
Exactly what'd you expect. Burrata and zucchini paired with basil and pistachio. We weren't huge fans of the combo as it missed some salt or pepper. The dish's burrata/zucchini ratio was off a bit off as we found the zucchini too much.
2. Lobster Bisque
This was super buttery and creamy. Made with lobster chilli oil and tarragon. The bisque was pretty thick and the flavour was there.
3. Brown Bread
A house bread paired with a honey butter. The bread was super light and fluffy, and the butter was such a good combo.
4. Steak Frites
This was a striploin steak paired with fries as well as some veggies - tomato, arugula, watercress. The steak was tender and juicy with a flavourful peppery taste. The fries were basic, crispy and salty.
5. Salmon
This was a blue salmon dish paired with pickled veggies and glass noodles. We wanted to try this combo, but flavour wise it was off. The salmon had no taste and veggies were super acidic and overpowering.
6. Apple pie
Finishing off with dessert, this apple pie was probably the best item of the night. It had a mix of a sweet and savoury taste. The added cheese and fresh apples were delicious.
Overall, this spot was a bit underwhelming as we expected more from a "new resto". We definitely appreciated the design and environment to make Halifax more developed.
