Halifax is blessed with quite a few excellent restaurants. Brooklyn Warehouse, in Halifax's Northern End, is more of a neighborhood venue, but serving good food and worth a visit. It has an excellent selection of wine and craft beer, fairly priced by avoiding the huge mark-ups that most restaurants use. Food-wise, our table enjoyed the following:-- Beer & Chorizo Steamed Mussels ($12) -- "Nova Scotia mussels, house-made chorizo, scallion, grilled baguette". Very good -- the chorizo had a little heat to it, but very enjoyable.-- Herbed Gnocchi ($23) -- excellent!-- Seared Flank Steak ($29)) -- done to perfection and a nice presentation--Seared Nova Scotia Salmon ($28) -- This salmon was a large serving, but surprisingly bland. Needed some spice to create more interest.Bottom line, a good place for dinner -- good food and wine in a casual setting. Recommended.

My mom visited from abroad and I wanted to treat her to a nice lunch as we have had very nice meals at Gio previously. This was a very different and disappointing experience. We were greeted when we walked and in and were seated immediately as it was fairly quiet. We spoke Swedish once we had been seated as we are Swedish... The server came to take our drink orders but did not initiate any small talk at all with us (like she did with other guests where everyone at the table spoke in English). People usually think I am British when I speak English and my mom speaks decent English meaning attempting some small talk whilst taking our drink orders would not have been an issue. One would think that the same protocol should be used for all guests regardless of whether or not the guests converse in English or another language. We received our drinks and ordered food. We ordered the lobster rolls. They were excellent and we both enjoyed that aspect of the meal. I was disappointed by the lack of engagement by our server. I am not saying the service was terrible but it was not the excellent the level of service I have received when I have eaten at Gio with my wife. Thank you for these details, SwedeAbroad.This is not the type of experience we want our guests to have, nor the type of experience we should be giving.I take some solace in that you thought the food was excellent, but the service should have matched.I send my apologies for the disappointment, and should you want to talk about it any further, you can email me at [email protected] care!

There were three of us and we all enjoyed the seafood dinners. The preparation of the food was superbly presented and cooked. The service was attentive, courteous, and fun. Highly recommend this place for a premium dining experience.

Delightful because I wasn't expecting such lovingly prepared, local food. The menu is small but unique and the food is exquisitely presented. The location is a bit odd (on the Bedford Highway at the bottom of Larry Uttek Drive. There is a patio which seems comfortable -- I ate inside both times I have been there. The decor is simple, the service is excellent and the chef takes real pleasure in describing the food. There is a real sense of pride in the staff. I had the lobster roll which had large chunks of meat as well as finely cut up meat on a beautiful long bun. The French fries are thinly sliced and cooked to perfect, served with fresh greens. The local sturgeon (I did say the food is unique, right) fish cakes are a perfect size and yummy as a starter. My two companions had the burger and both agreed it was really really good. On my second visit, I had the fish and chips which were crispy-battered, flaky white wonderfulness. Dessert - Oh my goodness, the poached apple wascaramelly, pepper crumble, plate lickable, the chocolate ganache with frozen fresh fruit puree was definitely for the "I like chocolate like most people like to breathe" person in the group and on my second visit I had the parsnip (yes, I said parsnip) cheese cake with ginger and lemon --- best . . . cheese ... . cake. . . ever!!! Just go, you won't be disappointed.We appreciate your review, and are very happy to know that you enjoyed your experience at Mabata, hope to see you again soon

Five friends had the most incredible lunch at this restaurant today! We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday girl always gets to choose the restaurant. We had all separately eaten there previously and always enjoyed it but today was even more spectacular. Gigi, our server is a gem and a naturally kind, friendly and so very efficient. I had mentioned that I didn't like the soup of the day which went along with my choice of sandwich. She went to the kitchen and within minutes returned to ask if I liked another kind and said that would also be offered. How often does someone take the time or care enough to do something like that. And it says volumes for the chef, owner, etc. to be so customer focused and wanting to please everyone. The food was absolutely amazing, so beautifully presented and the flavors were off the chart delicious! Fabulous on all levels! Thank you for such an incredible dining experience.
