This spot looks the part--right on the water, lots of buzz, seafood galore. But for me, it fell flat. Classic tourist trap energy.
First off, the lobster was wildly overpriced. I get that it's Halifax, I get the location... but come on. You're paying more for the place than the food.
What really soured the experience, though, was the greeting--or lack of it. I always say, how you're welcomed into a restaurant sets the tone. The host? Cold. Dismissive. There was a wait for a table, which is fine, but when I tried to grab a drink at the bar while waiting, she shut that down like a school principal with a no-nonsense rulebook.
No explanation. No offer to help. Just a hard "no."
I'm still confused--why not let someone enjoy a drink while they wait and happily spend money in the meantime? Missed opportunity all around.
Not somewhere I'd go back to. Plenty of better options in Halifax that serve good seafood and treat people like guests, not inconveniences. read more
