    Bit of a hidden gem. I walked by this place many times thinking it was just a wine bar, but the menu is absolutely incredible. Of course the wine selection is amazing too. I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know for an amazing meal, great service and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another glass.

    I booked a table for one at Eliot & Vine for my last night in Halifax after a busy 5 days. I had read good reviews and wanted to treat myself. Treat myself I did! I was given my choice of sitting at the bar or in a beautiful booth (I chose the booth). I started with a lovely local glass of bubbles and 6 oysters. The homemade hot sauce was delicious! I then had the fried brussel sprouts, which I honestly can't stop thinking about. Right amount of savoury and sweetness, plus the crunch with the walnuts was perfect. My server asked if wanted anything more to drink and I said just a glass of white wine. She suggested a Sauvignon Blanc (which turned out to be one of my favourites from New Zealand) to go with the haddock. The portion size was perfect, the veggies were crisp, and even though it had a panko crust, it was not too heavy. I really appreciated the service - dining alone can sometimes be challenging, but the server chatted when I wanted, plus gave me space when I wanted to read my book. I also really appreciated the decor - loved the artwork and personal touches. All in all, I had a perfect meal and I would highly recommend. It was a bit chilly to sit outside, but next time I will take advantage of the patio (and come earlier for happy hour for the Buck a Shuck oysters)!

    Thank you for taking the time to share about your solo dining experience! We are so very glad you were able to join us. We are always here with great food and great wine after a long work week. Happy you had the chance to try our Haddock and Brussels Sprouts, both are fan favourites. We hope you'll join us again sometime soon, couldn't recommend the patio more on a sunny day.

    I really wanted to like this restaurant and I really liked everything except my main course of the halibut! Sadly, it was dry and overcooked! Needs more attention!
