After hearing so many good things about chives my partner and I decided to go check it out, sadly we were both very disappointed. Our visit started out great but quickly went down hill, when our appetizers showed up my sliders were cold as ice and when I told our waitress she seemed very annoyed by me saying this, like... More

We were in Halifax for a visit and went to Chives with friends on their recommendation. They had been before and had enjoyed it. We are so glad they made the suggestion because the evening was perfect. We had a reservation and when we showed up early we were shown right to our table. Our server was excellent. She was... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Chives yesterday evening in celebration of our 1-year wedding anniversary. We were very pleased with the restaurant's service and the exquisite and delicious food that was prepared for us. Our dining experience was a lovely one. Chives is an impressive dining locale and won our appetites and more than exceeded... More

In terms of price / quality this was a disappointment. Recommended wines by the glass have no price on the menu and turned out to be outrageously overpriced. I had a daily special: rack of lamb with barley risotto. The lamb was anonymous in character and the barley risotto was working overtime, with no discernible results. Don't bother.

My wife and I went to Chives for an early dinner on a Friday. We were happy that we were able to get a seat dispite not having a reservation. My wife order the sea trout and I ordered the stuffed chicken breast. The service during the meal was very good, but we both had issues with our food. My... More

If you are visiting or local this is a must... More

While back visitng in Halifax I knew an evening at Chives was on my radar and a must. It's been a couple of year since I've dined at this wonderful restaurant and I'm happy to report that my dining experience was as good or even better than my last. I think the decor has changed slightly, allowing for a continued... More

AND last, but certainly NOT least ~~~DON'T ... pass... More

Everything from the service to the food was pretty close to perfection! We were a party of 9 girls celebrating a soon to be bride and they were quite accommodating. We were late in arriving for our reservation and the servers were quite gracious about our lateness. From the appetizers to the coffee, it was all divine! I have been... More
