    Attentive service, amazing food, fantastic selection of scotch/whiskeys and we enjoyed a great bottle of wine with dinner. Ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful and its layout is broken up so while busy, the noise level doesn’t make you feel like you have to shout when talking with each other.

    My favorite appetizer of all time is the mushroom neptune. It has been my favorite since I first went to the keg over 20 years now. It's still me favorite. My husband very much enjoyed the prime rib yorkshire pudding. We ordered the special on the menu the Kansas city steak. Well I have to say it was the best steak I've eaten in many years. We have been to almost every steak house in halifax/dartmouth. Pretty close to all steak house in the USA, have had steak in Europe, carribean, and on cruises? I can say that steak was a winner. Hats off to the chef and all team. It's a fabulous place to dine. Sincerely Mrs. M Ryan

    Wow, just wow! This was my first time trying Chef Colin’s food and it certainly won’t be my last!! The steak cooked on the open fire had such a depth of flavour, and the handmade pasta was a highlight of the meal! Finally, finished off the meal with the ooey gooey cake, that truly couldn’t believe was gluten free. Fabulous service, lovely atmosphere and overall fantastic meal. We will be back!
