    Our server was fantastic and even gave us travel tips for Cabot Trail! We had to send our fries back because they weren’t hot, but the fresh ones were great, along with the donair sauce. The server handled it well and apologized. While we heard the pizza and chowder were excellent, we opted for the seafood boil for two on our first night in Halifax—it was good, but not outstanding.

    Excellent food and value for the quality. Would highly recommend. Service was great & prompt. Atmosphere was on the louder side, but wasn’t an issue for us.

    At first glance at the menu I was worried it was typical pub food in a restaurant setting so we skipped the appetizers. Had the shepherds pie for 2 and was impressed by the quality and flavor. Next time I won’t skip the appetizers because this place deserves a return visit.

    Hi Milt! We're so happy you found something you loved. Next time you come visit I highly suggest the Onion Tater Tots to start, they're to die for! We will pass along your kind words to the kitchen! Thanks - The Salt & Ash Team

    Love this spot so much! Great food and ambience. Docked a few stars because the fire wasn’t going on a windy night in November. I’m sure there was a reason!

    Thanks for the kind words Anna! We have recently had our fireplaced fix, so the next cold blustery night we definitely recommend cozying up beside it! :) We hope to see you again soon! The Salt & Ash Team

    This past week I attended Salt & Ash for dinner, and it was truly the best dinner of my life. It wasn’t just the food, it was the combination of the energy, my company and the waitstaff. The ambiance is this perfect mixture of warm and elegant but not pretentious. Our waiter, I forget his name, but a man in his early 20s was our server, and he was an absolute doll. Attentive, nice, accommodating, everything you would want in a server. The food was superior. I had the brie pizza which had so many incredible flavours, it tasted like Christmas. The house level was exactly right, and felt like background music as I focused on the person in front of me. Truly a wonderful place to eat and experience.

    Had a couple of wonderful meals. Pizzas were superb, from the minimalist Marguerita to the maximalist special with pork, pickled onions and jalapenos. The smoked salmon pizza on the regular menu was delicious too. The wings on special were the best I have ever tasted. The salads were great too: fall vegetables, nicely dressed. The location is beautifully situated right on the water. A nice selection of cocktails. What more could you want? I will definitely be back!
