Our first meal here was for lunch & it left us with wanting to try other items on the menu so we made reservations for dinner. The mussels are outstanding as well as the other food choices we had made. We had not planned to have lunch there the next day but we found ourselves near there at lunchtime and... more
We had the crab cakes for dinner. Having lived in Maryland for a number of years, we know crab cakes. These were OK but nothing to write home about. The service was good with very little wait for our dinner. Prices were a bit steep, however you are in a prime waterfront location in a large city. The biggest problem... more
Hopefully, Halifax has better to offer. We started with mussels - very good, but the raisin bread wasn't what we would have liked to sop up a little of the buttery broth. Mine was a seafood platter... a scoop of saltyn rice in the middle with some overcooked broccolli. The scallops were very good... otherwise, two bites of what I... more

We reallly liked it here. The food was great. The patio is beautiful. Reminded me a little of a few where we sat in Italy, very European. The service was also great. Good value. Great lace. more
It started with the fresh bread (I suggest buying the flour mix before you leave) The whole menu here is great, and it has a nice atmoshphere adn a friendly staff, if you check around you can find two for one coupon for the main course (the Neptune Theatre Playbill), This is a great meal at a great price even... more
Cuisine is seafood with a slight twist -- nothing bizarre, but nothing basic either. Slightly overpriced, but the service was very nice. Great bread! more
