Amazing food, Becka went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience especially for our daughter with Celiac. She's the best server we've had in many years. Definitely a go to spot!
Well must say first time there with my girlfriend the waitress was just great looked after us made sure everything was as we ordered drinks food etc Im gluten-free and its one of the best pizzas ive had i took extra sauce and its very good sauce.
We both loved it.
I went to this restaurant for a Deaf event. One of the servers new sign language and was able to serve the deaf people adequately and charismatically. As a gluten-free person, I had a delicious haddock taco and didn't feel the gluten-free options were any less delicious than the regular options! Prices are high, but fair for the overall experience. Will definitely be returning.
The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion).
Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends.
Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes.
We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot).
Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had.
But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation.
And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG.
Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!!
As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋
Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳
If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.
Nestled at the Halifax waterfront amongst historical buildings, the A Mano is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves traditional fares with great pairings of wines and the usual beers.
Service is smooth overall, but we did have a small issue with a gluten-free order, which needed to be rectified.
We were a group of 8 and a wide selection of food was ordered.
The Schiacciata, Sgabello, Calamari Fritti were good and perfect for a chilly evening. As the main course, Quattro Carni, fresh Halibut with Shrimps, Lasagna, Lamb Shank, Seafood Stew and the Linguini were good. We were too full and ordered the share Torta Per Due cheesecake and were not disappointed .
Overall, good restaurant and great vibes for a chilled dinner next to the water.

Have wanted to try this place out forever after hearing about them having Gluten Free options. So glad we did today! Tandoori chicken fries were delicious and the Kashmiri apple fries should be illegal. The flavour and texture are crave worthy. So so good! Can’t wait to come back. Make sure you go check it out!!
I really liked the staff were attentive and quick service was provided. Had great meal loved the ramen and sweet edamame beans. They have limited menu but still have gluten free options. Although I find it's bit pricy, I would still visit again.
Best steakhouse in Halifax, number 1 with a bullet.
I got the Cigar Tenderloin and the other half had a Coffee Aged Strip, served with a glorious red wine jus both of these steaks absolutely slapped, sides were delicious and plentiful, would order the Mushrooms again but probably skip the mash and sprouts next time in favor of something else.
They had a dessert menu but we didn't have it in us, next time!
The service was top notch and my dietary needs (Celiac) were taken seriously without making a fuss.
I cant wait to come back, I must have an anniversary or something coming up and if not I'll have to invent one.
Just went to Naan n Curry with my girlfriend. The food was tasty, the Naan portions were generous and overall it was a good deal for our money.
More importantly, we've had challenges finding good food in HRM because of her dairy allergy. The menu at Naan N curry specifically mentions if the option is gluten free, vegan or dairy free.
Very happy with our experience and will be back
They have a separate gluten-free menu, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Their vegetarian rolls are just as good as the non veggie, and I find myself craving it regularly since my first visit.
Very expensive but good food, good gluten free options as well accessible for wheelchairs. Service was great and they even showed us how to play. Wish we could've stayed longer!
I want to start by saying this restaurant is always so accommodating for my dogs we sat outside and my niece(dog) was able to sit on the couch with us we ordered chicken for her and staff came up and was petting her being so kind bringing water we felt so welcome. They came around with the coziest blankets when it was cold they were so amazing and friendly and kind about my dad who is celiac we got lobster rolls and they were fantastic so fresh the bun was amazing and the sweet potato fries were excellent the views were gorgeous and so comfy on the couches on the patio we loved our waitress she was a doll and so helpful
We are in town for four days and have had poor experiences 2 out of 3 attempts at Tempo. On Friday we had a great experience, the food was tasty, the waitress was great and the service was quick.
On Saturday, when I went down for brunch they were closed. After a phone call, I learned that they where closed early due to staffing issues.
Today, my wife and I, went down for breakfast. After placing our orders; bagel and cream cheese for her and Eggs Benedict on gluten free toast for me, we received our juice and coffee. Then we waited, and waited. After three or four couples who were seated after us had ordered and gotten their food, we stopped the waitress and asked about our orders. Five minutes later, she walked by and said "It's being taken care of now." She didn't stop to talk to us, and she certainly did not apologize.
A few minutes later my wife stopped her a asked to speak to the floor manager. Our waitress replied "I guess that's me". She continued to say that it was taking time to bring the water to a boil to poach the eggs.
It was nothing but deflections and avoidance of ownership of the problem. An honest apology would of calmed my wife a great deal.
My wife then said she wasn't sure if she to have breakfast any more and the waitress indicated that if we didn't want to stay, it was fine.
We chose to leave. In all a very dissatisfactory experience that left my wife in tears back in the hotel room.

I celebrated my birthday tonight with my mom and we both were given a complimentary drink and dessert. Very accommodating to my moms gluten allergy as well. We had a very good Waiter named Ethan and excellent service. Thank you again for the great experience and birthday dinner.
Friendly and caring people. For medical reasons, I can't consume gluten. Complicated as I'm vegetarian too. And as much as I love Indian food, I can't have anything too spicy. Our server was wonderfully understanding and concerned to ensure they accommodate my dietary need. I asked for the food to cater to the gentle taste of a 5 year old! And they did just that ... the food was delicious. Although my wife and I live out of Province, we will be back. For folks fortunate enough to live in Halifax and area, ensure to schedule a visit to Twist of India!
Nice place, good music. Gluten-free option. I had a cheesebuger poutine, it was very good! Fries with all the ingredients of a cheeseburger (except the bun) with a cheese sauce. My partner had the Smoked bacon mac and cheese served with toasted buns, delicious.
I have gluten and dairy allergies so it's hard to find restaurants that do a good job cooking a delicious meal without those two staples. The Harbourstone far exceeded my expectations.
While other restaurants include gluten-free options, the Harbourstone is the first I've seen in HRM to include both gluten-free options (GFO) and dairy free options (DFO) throughout their menu entire menu. They substituted the dairy with yummy equivalents rather than just taking it out and making the meal plain. Our meal was so good we went back the next day and had lunch.
Great Job Harbourstone!
Had a disappointing experience here last night. First, the host was fantastic, helpful on the phone with a last minute reservation, and communicated effectively about when our table would be ready etc. Once the host sat us though, it was another 5-10 minutes before our server greeted us and brought water.
From that point on, service was lacking. Food and drinks didn’t take too long, but our water glasses sat empty until we finished our meals and had to request more. The server was attentive to other tables, even walking past us with a full water pitcher and checking in with them, but didn’t glance at us until our plates were empty and stacked.
It’s understandable that service is slower on a busy Friday night, but it was jarring to notice the server prioritizing other tables. The music was also quite loud for a sit-down restaurant.
The food is really good but the portions are small. Lots of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, love the layout and decoration. Just disappointing that from past experiences and other reviews, it seems like some staff prioritize certain clientele over others. Hoping this is something that improves in the future!
Great outdoor eating by the sea. Prices are a bit high but quality is here! The service is perfect and the decor is lovely. There are some great chefs behind the counter and the sushis are just incredible. The chowder by the way is delicious. Many gluten free options! One can have fire on the tables outside, really neat when the evening is chill or just for fun! A must try !
Their cider is fantastic, and their food is also super great! Amazing service, great conversation and extremely helpful when it came to the tables gluten intolerance!!
Great Easter brunch buffet. Lots to eat and tasty as well. Needs more gluten free options, when asked, the chef steered me through it. Special thanks to the gluten free desert he brought out to me later.
I've had food here a couple times, including one of the appetizer boxes and pizzas (both gluten-free and regular).
Today I got the paneer tikka pizza and I was NOT disappointed! The paneer is some of the best I've had actually! The pizza definitely has a nice spice to it and was sooooo cheesy even besides the paneer on top!
I do wish when I asked what was on it they would have told me about the top layer of cilantro they add because I really don't enjoy cilantro personally, but that really didn't end up ruining my experience I'd say. I brushed it off and I know for next time. I will definitely be going back!
The employees were all friendly, helpful, prompt and had great attitudes!
Seemed very clean too
We attended the Valentines Prix Fixe event at Anemone. I am gluten and dairy free, my husband is not. It was easy to see which menu options were available to me before purchasing tickets, was prompted to note food allergies when purchasing, and received an email confirming this afterward.
The venue itself was so lovely and cozy. Parking was easy, even on the holiday. It truly feels like you are at a private dinner instead of a number at a restaurant.
A friend asked me afterward what my favourite part of the meal was - I couldn’t decide! Everything from the welcome snack to the caramel sauce on the dessert was excellent. The staff verbally confirmed (without me ever needing to ask) each of my GF/DF plates as they brought them to me, which made me feel confident that I was eating safely. At no point did I feel my meal was “less” than my husbands (I’ve suffered many bunless burgers and plain baked potatoes elsewhere).
We left happy, full, and looking forward to returning. Thank you Chef Dany & the Anemone team.
Excellent options and there were some gluten-friendly dishes to try here! Loved the calamari and lobster appetizer. The beef tostada was next level and full of flavour! Although we didn’t have oysters there seemed to be many people ordering them so they are probably quite good! Worth a try if you are in the area.
The staff there are very friendly and accommodating for people who can't eat gluten, and the food was served very promptly. If you like pub-style food, you'll love the Auction House.
I had the lobster roll and it was delicious. The chips could have been better if a dip was served with them. Unfortunately there were no gluten free options other than salad that could be made gF. Very disappointing. The salad had brown bits on several leaves as well as the core in the bowl. Staff were friendly.
Celiac friendly
