The jalapeño cornbread was another standout....moist, flavourful, and with just the right amount of kick. The fish and chips were excellent, while the tater tot-chos were pure comfort food, loaded with melted cheddar, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Of course, we needed some veggies for balance, so the kale and quinoa salad totally counts! The perfect pairing throughout was the Mango Dragonfruit Sour. Super refreshing and fruity, with enough acidity to cut through all the richness of the meal. Great happy hour selection, lots of variety, and a fun spot to settle in for a feast. Definitely a place worth checking out when you're in Halifax!

Made sure we were ok every time he was in the vicinity. I ordered the mushroom Benedict with the hollandaise on the side. It was great with the locally made truffle cream cheese. I did have to ask for a steak knife to be able to cut through the bread. It was a well done piece of pizza dough. Tasty but tough to get through. Came with tater tots and a donair sauce to dip them in. My husband ordered the stuffed baked potato. He loved it but said next time he will order the side salad on the side and ask for more dressing. I ended the meal with a cool glass of rose. We will definitely be back.

All the seafood is fresh - you can also buy some if you want to make it yourself! But eat here, save yourself the hassle. Always get the fish and chips. Two piece if you are hungry - three if you are famished. Their coating is different from most places - more of a breading versus beer battered. Family run. Fantastic place

Other than the fact that the food took a while to come out (I waited for 30 mins), it was an…read moreexcellent meal. I got the fish & chips ($13.50 CAD) with a lobster poutine add-on (+$15 CAD), and damn, that was worth it! The poutine came with lots of lobster meat, topped with a creamy hollandaise cheese sauce that was surprisingly rich BUT refreshing at the same time. I absolutely devoured and cleaned the entire plate of poutine. It was amazing, and I HIGHLY recommend it!! The haddock fish was just okay - I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had. I think I just generally prefer my pub-style beer/club soda batter. IMO, the best fish & chips in Halifax would still be at The Narrows Public House. The vibe, though, was just phenomenal. I enjoyed my meal while watching the sunset by the MacKay Bridge from the beer garden patio. I honestly don't think anything can get better than that. One of the staff members, Emilia, was also super friendly!

After all, how could an "ice cream place" possibly also know their stuff about entrees as well? Well on my recent visit I was converted. I am actually going to go out on a limb and say that I think I might prefer the fish here to the fish at Wharf Wraps across the street and that's saying something! We decided to go back and sample "anything but ice cream" this time and boy were we pleasantly surprised. I had heard nothing but rave reviews of the lobster roll so that's what I ordered. Hubby ordered the 2 piece fish and chips and we got the chicken nugget combo for the boys. I also ordered fries to go with my lobster roll. The lobster roll was awesome. Served in a soft and hot dog bun (the ones that come in a package of 12, not a package of 8 - you know the ones I mean...) it was overflowing with lobster. The flavour was mouthwatering and the only negative I can think of was that I like the addition of celery to my lobster sandwich. But, the huge positive is that it was a mere $7.00 (taxes included!). SEVEN dollars for a lobster sandwich. Amazing. The fries were homecut (I'm one of those rare people who prefer frozen) but they served the purpose and were adequate ketchup conveyors for our little boys. Their nuggets were sadly of the mystery-meat variety but you win some, you lose some. The big surprise was the fish and chips which I've already alluded to as being the surprise hit of the visit. Two generous pieces (the two together make up the same size as the one piece at Wharf Wraps) were cooked to perfection with light batter and the inside boasted white flaky succulent haddock. And the kicker? Only $10.00 (taxes included) which is four dollars cheaper than the competition. While you give up the ambiance and table service of Wharf Wraps if you're looking for a quick take out option that is still delicious with a quick turn around What's the Scoop is the way to go. We'll definitely be back. A side note: all prices include tax but they are CASH ONLY so be sure to stop at a banking machine before getting in line :-)

The Short Version: Beautiful restaurant attached to the…read moreCourtyard Marriott Hotel. Food was generally good (with a few flaws); I expected a bit of a better experience for the prices. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here with his sister and her family for her birthday celebration. The interior is very nice and they have a beautiful patio as well. The prices are on the higher end with main courses being mostly $30-$65, although they have a few in the $20+ range. First off, my water glass had something sticky on the rim that was very visible. I notified the server and to his credit he was apologetic and got me a new glass right away, but I feel it's something they should have noticed when setting the table. Both my husband and I had the Bouillabaisse ($42) and although the menu said it came with a sourdough roll, neither of ours did. Again when we notified the server, he was again apologetic and brought us our rolls on a plate. The Bouillabaisse was generally good, although the shrimp were overcooked and a bit rubbery. The clams and mussels were good. The half lobster was very salty, and was a small canner. The potatoes were nicely cooked and the tomato-based broth was flavourful. Others had the whole lobster, the steak frites and the Wagyu fried rice. They seemed to enjoy their meals. We also shared some oysters (I didn't have any though) and mussels. The mussels were good and there was only one that was unopened. I also had a cocktail, the What's Up, Dock? ($15). It had tequila, limoncello, carrot juice and black pepper. It was a bit unusual but I enjoyed it. Others shared a bottle of white wine and some also had beers. The birthday girl had the Figment of our Imagination mocktail and she said it was great. Service was courteous. Overall my opinion is that the restaurant is pretty, and they have a creative drinks menu that's well executed. Service was pleasant but details were missed (dirty glass and missing bread). Food was overall good, but room for improvement (overcooked shrimp and salty lobster). If this was a more casual eatery with lower prices I would have rated 4 stars, but I expected more from this restaurant since it presents itself as nicer than just a casual eatery.

Fleshing out the options a bit, there's also burgers, hotdogs and deep fried sides like onion rings and poutine.  Having arrived a just after the lunch crowd would have dissipated, I was able to immediately walk up and place my order, which had to be a single piece of fish and chips. I chatted with the friendly woman working there (Fran herself?) and my food was ready within a few minutes. A table next to the truck was set up with cutlery, seasonings and condiments, including spray bottles of white and malt vinegars. With a few picnic tables set up next to the truck, I sat down in the lightly cool, spring air and dug in. The fish was a hefty size, more than enough to make me glad that I didn't get a second piece. I enjoyed the thick, crispy batter and the fresh fish that flaked easily as I cut it with my plastic fork. A cup of what appeared to be homemade tartar sauce, with a generous amount of chopped pickles or capers, added a creamy tang that went well with both the fish and the fries. The fries were hand-cut, and a very deep, golden brown, but weren't as crispy as I would have liked. They would likely benefit from a blanching in water to remove excess starch before frying, and a double fry.  I appreciated the paper plates, but unfortunately there was only a garbage can and no composting or recyclables bin. Fran's could use a little polishing on the truck and the fries, but one of the original food trucks in the city is definitely doing its fish right.

After seeing this little fish'n'chip truck in downtown Dartmouth for months, I decided to finally give them a go. Last year they disappeared when the weather turned cold so I thought it best to get my order of fries when I could. Since I'm a vegetarian, the menu options were limited so I went with the slightly-healthier-sounding french fries over onion rings. In Googling this place (to see if they had a Web site) I discovered the fries are hand-made in the truck each day. And you can tell. They're nice, thick-cut fries. I may have to head back soon to try the onion rings. For all you omnivores, they have fish (fresh from Eastern Passage, I'm told), seafood and burgers too. It was a good experience: just walk up, order, wait a minute, pay, and voila! food. Staff were friendly and happy to have my business.
