The Five Fishermen - Halifax

I had to try this restaurant because they offered Oysters Rockefeller, and I was not disappointed! The scallops were fantastic as well, though the beef cheeks weren't particularly memorable. The service was exceptional, and I appreciated the thoughtful gesture of adding candles to the dessert for a birthday celebration. The interior was visually appealing, and the overall atmosphere was wonderful.

Outstanding food and exceptional service! We tried the rack of lamb and the salmon, and both dishes were simply exquisite. We were truly impressed. The staff goes above and beyond; their charm and attentiveness make me think they must receive special training. We had a wonderful evening and can’t wait to return!

I had my first visit to this restaurant (coming from Ontario) and our experience tonight was amazing! Our server, Andrea, was exceptional—even though she’s actually the Head Bartender filling in for someone who is out sick. Every staff member was friendly and accommodating. The crab cakes were delicious, the oysters Rockefeller were incredible, the sirloin was cooked to perfection, and the lobster dinner was superb. I’ve never had a better restaurant experience anywhere!

Great atmosphere, it’s a very nice and big restaurant. The food was not bad, but also not beyond my expectation as I heard really good things about it. Ordered fish fish experience, but they forgot to put lobster tail on it. Good thing we noticed it and the server got it for us. Lobster tail was good though. Salmon in it was super thin, couldn’t really tell it’s salmon. However my favourite was mushroom risotto. Service was good, food not bad, atmosphere is good too. Just not a five star for my experience there.

Famous landmark restaurant in Halifax with a haunting story to boot. Lovely ambience, attentive waitstaff. We ordered the Five Fishermen Experience. Everything was fresh and spot on other than the lobster tail which was overcooked and we weren't able to get it out of the shell. The mushroom risotto was earthy and delicious.
