    Went for my 40th birthday, 6 of us in total. We all agreed it was the best food we ever had. Seafood was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

    We have small appetites and chose only a starter each. I had the wantons which were beautifully presented, very tasty and just enough for me. My husband chose the calamari but found them chewy, though tasty. He had tea and I had a small glass of wine, which was of a wine I knew and enjoy. We had a quiet corner as requested and had options if we wanted to sit elsewhere as at that time it wasn’t busy. It was a little dark in our corner but adequate. Our waitress was very pleasant, understanding, efficient and sufficiently attentive. Prices were high for the little we had and I think for us a better option would be to have lunch there as we found the food choices more to our liking at that time when we went previously.

    Food, and drinks were awesome. Our server was helpful, punctual, friendly and pleasant. Prices are definitely above the average for Halifax choosing from similar ambiance restaurants. 8/10. It would have been 10/10 if prices were 15-20% cheaper.

    Our party of 5 has agreed that today's lunch was one of the best we've enjoyed in ages! The food was excellent and the service matched. Isabella, our server, gave just the right portions of attentive availability and punchy repartee, without being overly obsequious. We hate that. Chef's hats off to the kitchen as one beautifully presented course followed another. Big views of the Halifax waterfront, made possible by even bigger windows, are the back drop and yet Sea Smoke offers a cozy, comfortable stylish setting.

    Excellent meal once again. Appetizers were amazing and our entree was perfect. Topped off with a beautifully presented dessert. Our server was outstanding and made us feel so welcome. Exceptional value for a dining experience of this level.
