We visited the Gahan House Nova Centre for the 2nd time since it opened. First thinking, man they have a lot of staff; and they do, but that is to cover the big area; which is great to see; as you often see a big establishment that is not staffed properly.The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere itself is great; it is so nice to see a well managed place to have an enjoyable beer and food.Hi maddykasey,Thanks for sharing! We are so happy you enjoyed your experiences with us and we can't wait to see you again.Maggie

This is only one of the dishes that were very good. The pancakes and maple syrup were devine. The eggs Benedict was perfectly done as was the bearnaise sauce to top it off. A very lovely old-tyme atmosphere and very comfortable and quiet for carrying a conversation. DOn't pass this place during your travels.

Stopped in for dinner as this was near where we were staying. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He explained menu choices and specials. The menu is traditional pub type food, gourmet burgers, appetizers etc. We had burgers and side salads. There was homemade salad dressing which was wonderful.

Reviewed By Megaline1807
I have been many times in this restaurant and mostly really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food! My expectations @ Barrington are generally and simplified : consistent good food/ wine products , attentive service and an atmosphere giving space for conversations and good time. Yesterday was different. I chose a good Cab from Napa Valley, the waiter confirmed it was great - which it is. But why was it not decanted? I should have asked for it, but because conversations at the table took away focus - the wine ended up directly in the glasses. No big problem - but the attention to details at Barringtons was different before. The Rib-eye was ordered and delivered medium rare , but not impressive meat quality ( way too much chewy fat). Is that really worth +70$ ? No - quality was not at the usual Barrington level. Lobster Mac& Cheese came 15 minutes after the main course . The waiter apologized and told the first batch was burned , hence they had to make a new. OK , but the new was late and almost raw! . The ordered Cigar tenderloin was 8Oz - I love this one and yesterday was great, but we seriously doubt it was 8Oz. merely 6 Oz - why? It was an overall OK Dinner, but for $550 for 3 persons - it has to be good and I just noticed a drop in attention to details and quality. I did not ask or was not offered any cost reduction due to the lobster mac and cheese situation I hope it is an overall glitch due to vacation etc??. Will be back! Hi Megaline1807,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, we always appreciate hearing from our guests. We would also like to apologize for this disappointing experience and would love to make it up to you if you'd like to send us an email at [email protected] again,Maggie

Come taste a delicious dish at McKelvie's Delishes Fishes Dishes. They are open after-hours all week and are readily reachable by car but also by public transit. The surrounding area is memorable for its merchants and restaurants.

Just had an amazing dinner with my family on recent visit to Halifax.I'm pretty discriminating about seafood given that i live in area with access to fresh, local seafood myself. McKelvie's did not disappoint. We started with the mussels app with focaccia cheese bread. OMG good. I order mussels regularly and these were some of the best I've ever had.Moved on to the Seafood A la King which is really a throwback kind of dish. My mom used to make us chicken a la king growing up. The seafood was perfectly prepared and the sauce was flavorful without overwhelming the fresh seafood flavors coming through. Topped it off with the BEST piece of coconut cream pie I've ever eaten. So good that I asked for the recipe!Do not miss this place.

Awful attention to detail. Little things that "fine-dining" should be doing that they just ignore. For these prices, I expected more. Other restaurants in the area provide better experiences: taking your coat, wiping the table between courses.. We had 3 servers provide us service during one visit. If you're going to call yourself fine dining, then be fine dining.

We ate at this restaurant as our original choice had power issues after Hurricane Dorian. Ideally located in Downtown Halifax. Booking is highly recommended. When we arrived, the downstairs area only had a few diners so we thought that they were quite quiet given that it was a Sunday. However, the main restaurant, it would seem, is upstairs. We were asked to wait whilst our table was being prepared so we had a drink at the bar whilst waiting.The upstairs area is nicely decorated and is very spacious. We had a table with seating for 4, even though there was only two of us.We ordered and the food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Didn't feel rushed at any time. The food was very well presented and the portions were a good size. Neither of us had a dessert. The food here is of high quality and that is shown in the cost of the food. Not the cheapest of meals, but very tasty and worth the money.
