“ Delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere. This place was bright and kind of hip. The outdoor area is right on the water and has nice views. The only reason I ding it a little is that waitress forgot my beer, but things like that happen sometimes. I would definitely come back. The restrooms are all unisex, which is great because that keeps waiting in line to a minimum. The draft beer selection was great; lots of area craft brands. ”
“ We had a great experience from the time we walked in. We were greeted, seated and served by Elvira (el-vera). We couldn't have asked for a nicer person. She turned on the fireplace for us, we were visiting from Florida, got us some drinks , bread (delicious, explained the menu and gave some suggestions. We chose to start with the crabcakes with grilled pineapple, mango radish onion piccalilli then the Colossal Sea Tower and added a steamed lobster for our dinner. Everything was delicious but the lobster was sooo delicious. Succulent and sweet. ”
“ Had a beautiful summer evening dinner on the patio. A lovely setting along the water. Our server (Piper) was amazing and very honest and helpful with her recommendations. All of the food we ordered was delicious and this may seem like an odd recommendation with the assortment of dishes on the menu, but order the sourdough with maple butter --- sooo simple but tasty! Oysters are a must! ”
“ We made a list of go-to restaurants for Halifax and this gem was NOT on it. We are very happy that we still decided to stop for dinner. We had some of the best fish we ate in Halifax, the location is beautiful with a great view of the bay and bridge, and the servers were super attentive and friendly. It was so good that we decided to come back a second time during our week in town! Definitely try their fresh fish of the day! ”
“ Everything was made perfectly! Very nice view of the harbour. The food was delicious and the service was excellent!! Both kitchen staff, front of house servers and managers do a really great job. It is my first time eating here and both my boyfriend and I loved it! ”
“ I recently dined at the Cable Wharf, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was inviting and elegantly designed, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations. The food was the star of the show. Every dish was expertly crafted, I highly recommend the whole fish, which was cooked to perfection. The dessert menu was equally impressive, and it was a delightful finish to our meal. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend! ”
“ Wow. If you're ever looking for the perfect venue to host an event, this is the place to be! The patio offers breathtaking views that elevate the entire dining experience, and the staff are truly delightful and accommodating. We arrived as a group of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids), hoping to find a spot for dinner. At first, it seemed unlikely since the restaurant was hosting an event and the patio appeared full. However, the staff went above and beyond, somehow finding space for us and eventually fulfilling our request to move to the patio. The view, especially in the evening, was stunning, and the atmosphere was simply remarkable. And then, there's the food. I had the salmon, which was paired with a deliciously fresh and tasty salad. It was cooked to perfection, and every bite was a delight. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, handling our multiple requests with a smile and without a hint of irritation. Her positive attitude truly enhanced our experience. Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. With its outstanding service, incredible views, and delicious food, we will definitely be back! ”
