Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Dessert Yard offers a "wonderful experience" with exceptional desserts and a beautiful atmosphere. The food is delicious, with highlights like the "burger melted in my mouth" and "amazing chicken pizza." Service can be slow at times, but the friendly staff compensates. A "hidden gem" for dessert lovers and a must-try in Halifax!

    We loved celebrating Eid here! It’s so beautiful at the Dessert Yard. Elegant atmosphere, reasonably priced food and a great time overall. We will keep coming back again and again.

    I was a shock to learn if the dry menu. Zero alcohol. Other than that, it’s beautiful. Recommend going again, just not as a starter to a night on the town 😂

    Service was kind of slow but it seemed like the waiter had a lot of tables. Desserts were delicious.

    Went after a concert on a Saturday night. 10/10 would recommend but definitely need a reservation. Waited 10ish minutes even with one. Service was a tad slow especially given how later is was/ few hours until closed. Only other negative was there was no alcohol/ cocktails and I didn't find that was well known/ easy to find out.

    Great beef and veggie burgers, delicious fries, fresh salads, and splendid desserts. The little birthday surprise for one us was a lovely treat. The service was friendly and professional.

    Lovely spot, and our server was excellent, just be prepared to wait. Service was exceptionally slow, but was told they were short staffed, however it was also slow the last time I was there. Would definitely return tho.

    Service was a little slow at first, but good after we ordered. The food was fantastic except the nachos we ordered to go. When we got back to the room and opened the box up they looked great, but under the top layer of chips there was all chips and no cheese or toppings. It was a small box, so they were stacked thickly- Disappointed. Ask them to layer cheese and toppings if you order.
