My favorite appetizer of all time is the mushroom neptune. It has been my favorite since I first went to the keg over 20 years now. It's still me favorite. My husband very much enjoyed the prime rib yorkshire pudding. We ordered the special on the menu the Kansas city steak. Well I have to say it was the best steak I've eaten in many years. We have been to almost every steak house in halifax/dartmouth. Pretty close to all steak house in the USA, have had steak in Europe, carribean, and on cruises? I can say that steak was a winner. Hats off to the chef and all team. It's a fabulous place to dine. Sincerely Mrs. M Ryan
