What to Order
Oysters
Fresh, local oysters that are a popular choice for starting your meal, often available as part of platters.
"The cocktails are good and the oysters are quite good! The cocktails are expensive for Halifax but well crafted and tasty. I’d suggest stopping in here for a drink and a few oysters, but finding better food elsewhere."
