    I had a great birthday dinner here! I was even serenaded. We had duck spring rolls to start (the sauce was so yummy) and my partner had the Gnocchi & I had the Halibut Cheek, we were both very happy (and both enjoyed a few bites of each other's entree as well). The toffee pudding was the perfect way to end, and I always love DeeDee's ice cream, the sesame was novel and complemented the cake very well!

    Food and service at Edna were excellent! It’s one of my favourite places and I hadn’t been there in some time. They are always consistent on so many levels. It never disappoints.

    Edna never disappoints. The PEI Blue Dot steak is the best and the toffe with sesame ice cream to die for. It's our favorite restaurant in Halifax

    Food was amazing, service was excellent, but I couldn’t help but feel like the spot we were sat wasn’t very comfortable (to be fair it’s not a very big seating area). Overall thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

    Had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner at EDNA with a friend! The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for a great meal and conversation. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, we had the daily special. Service was impeccable—attentive but never intrusive. Whether for a special occasion or just a fantastic meal, EDNA never disappoints!

    Our server was on it. They knew the menu and made great recommendations. We loved the sweet ever changing eclectic little plates. The food was outstanding - I recommend the gnocchi and the sticky toffee cake with black sesame ice cream made by dee dee's for Edna. It was so good I am going back next week because I can't stop thinking about my meal.
