Went for dinner and it was excellent! The scallop risotto was the special that evening and it was delicious. Also had the jerk chicken risotto and cheesecake for dessert. Our group was also very happy about all of the gluten free options on the menu.

First time checking this place out. It's not an easy place to find, but as soon as we opened the door, the look of the place was unique. Bar stools overlooked the main level lobby. The ascent to the restaurant itself was interesting. We did find the layout of the restaurant was not quite what we expected, but we stayed. A bit disappointed that there were no gluten friendly options for beer but settled for cider. The selection of burgers was very impressive. The food was excellent but best of all was our server; her name is Cat. She was friendly and attentive, knew the bar and menu offerings very well, and seemed happy to be there. It's always nice to be waited on someone who loves her job and that appears to be Cat!

100% worth a try for some elevated pub fare and flavourful food! This was suggested by a friend from Alberta and we were pleased with the experience. There was a feature menu with some enticing items (including the Reuben) and the regular menu had a good amount of choices including some gluten-free options. I chose to have the blackened haddock (GF) and the sauce tasted homemade and a refreshing change from the usual haddock preparations you find in Halifax. The Reuben was loaded with all the good stuff and fries were the right amount of crisp without tasting dry. They offer a 1/2 and 1/2 salad and fries combo for most of the handhelds and burgers which is such a lovely touch and not something you see enough these days. Caesar salad has a nice zing to it and also tasted freshly prepared. If we come back we will certainly try more items! They carried the local Coldstream seltzers as well for a very fair price. Dartmouth location is away from the busy scene and gives you that nice view of the water.
