A favourite on the Halifax waterfront. Their Fish & Chips are fresh tasting and the service is great. read more

Cable Wharf - Seafood Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

My rating is ZERO. Their dinner cruises are a joke and very over priced. The lobster tail was the size o a large shrimp. They charge $70 for the cruise without lobster, and their other food was awful. They ran out of ice!!!!! How do you run out of ice? I hope the find an iceberg and hit it. Gerry read more

The Lobster dip appetizer is AMAZING! Followed by lobster poutine fries. Happy Happy, Joy Joy. read more

Cable Wharf - Seafood Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Worst restaurant experience I've had in a long time. The only good thing about this visit was our very sweet waitress. We were greeted by a rude hostess who was rushing us along - even though my mother in-law clearly doesn't have an easy time walking. After sitting down we were given glasses of water and initial sip was met with a piece of yellow plastic in my mouth and the water was very warm. We ordered mussels as an appetizer and they took about 15 minutes, not horrible, not the best. Two teeny tiny pieces of extremely salty bread accompanied the also very small mussels. I ordered shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries; my meal was $17. It came with 2 tacos, each the size of my palm with 3 small shrimps and old lettuce. Fries were cold. My husband got the peanut satay chicken burger with sweet potato fries and it was $17 as well. His meal was bland, but adequately proportioned. My mother in-law got the lobster dinner coming in at $38. She loved the lobster and it looked delicious, but it came with a quarter piece of corn on the cob, 1 small scoop of coleslaw and 1 small scoop of potato salad - it was the saddest excuse for a lobster dinner I've ever seen. We were going to get dessert, but after how terrible everything else was there was no way we were buying anything else from this establishment. Would never recommend this place to anyone, especially considering the quality of food and service at the other restaurants on the harbour. 1 star for the view. read more

For a large restaurant like Murphy's, the size of their menu is disappointingly small. In their Appetizers section they don't even have calamari or clams?! which in my mind is a classic appy dish. And for what they do have that they're so overpriced ($10.99 for 2 tiny fish cakes) that made me want to walk out right there right then. For the actual meal, you're looking at even more outrageously priced dishes. Not to mention $37.99 for 1 lb of lobster!! (Maybe their lobsters sing?) There are only 5 things on the "From the Sea" section. For a restaurant that says one of the two things they love is seafood (from their website) I find it extremely lacking. Our server was slow and not attentive. He gave me the wrong info on the lemonade refills. When I ordered I asked if it was bottomless, and he said yes. However, after having it refilled twice he had to come back and inform me that I was only allowed 2 refills. Excuse me? As soon as we sat down I asked for a high chair for my toddler, who can barely see the top of the table when sitting on a regular chair...And we waited and waited, and reminded them twice, and the high chair finally came when we were about to finish our meal. I came here with some visiting relatives (aka tourists) this time. I've always avoided Murphy's because it looks like a place for tourists. After today's experience, I will continue to avoid it. read more

We stopped in here because a few of the other nicer restaurants by the Waterfront were packed. It's a huge restaurant and on our walk towards the patio I saw piles of dirty dishes on trays unattended, and basically a very dirty dining area. Super touristy (kind of okay since we were tourists) and the patio had a nice view. We were only in for a drink and desserts for the kids so it was disappointing that we had to wait close to half an hour for our order. I'm sure there are nicer places in Halifax. read more

Call me old fashion, but I rarely like to venture trying anything outside the select few restaurants I enjoy on a regular basis. However, this weekend I decided to live on the edge and try Murphy's Cable Wharf Restaurant for the first (and last time). We walked in to a less than full restaurant, which, on a Saturday night should have been our first clue we were in for a treat. We assumed it was a "Seat Yourself" situation since we weren't told otherwise and were blatantly ignored by everyone who walked by us. We tucked ourselves in a corner with a lovely view of the McKay Bridge and waited for our server to arrive. Several minutes later he did with menus. After he handed me a "Lunch Menu" I asked politely for a "Dinner Menu" and then off he went. My date realized his menu had no inserts and had to call the waiter back who explained he had to go print more since they had ran out. We ordered our water and after waiting for what seemed like forever, our waiter took our order: A club sandwich with fries for my date and a lobster roll with fries for me. It didn't take too long for our food to come but it did take some time for it to get to our table. I watched it sit on a tray stand as server after server walked by it. What was wrong with our food? Why did it have no friends? Finally our waiter arrived and delivered it to our table, you guessed it, the wrong order. I ordered fries and got salad, which, isn't a huge deal - in fact, it's probably a sign I should have ordered the healthier choice. The waiter let me keep the salad while he fetched the fries and brought them to the table a few moments later. Overall, the food was terrible. My lobster roll tasted like lobster -flavoured mayo on a freezer burnt untoasted hot dog bun and the salad tasted like rabbit food marinated in raspberry vinaigrette. Our water glasses were left empty for the entire meal and I after the waiter brought over an empty ketchup bottle, I had to go on scavenger hunt around the restaurant to find more. THREE bottles later, our waiter realized we needed another one. By the time it arrived, our fries were cold. Our experience was so bad in fact, the table sitting next to us commented on it. Needless to say, we won't be back nor will I ever be suggesting it to anyone else. read more

Giving out one star in light of the 4 (at time of writing) this joint garners may seem a bit harsh, but there are just so many better places to get seafood in Halifax. This place is no great shakes. Tartar sauce and the like are provided by Kraft in little packets like in a food court, which bummed me out. If someone told me we were eating here again, I would absolutely protest. read more

We went on a Murphy's deep sea fishing tour and had a blast. The tour allowed us to experience the beauty of nature and the coast from a different vantage point. All the while, enjoying the sport of fishing. The captain and the guides were amazing. Pointing out historical landmarks and patiently helping everyone with fishing. The best part of the entire experience was catching a scorpion fish, the ugliest catch of the day. Looking for an adventure in Halifax, check out Murphy's for hours of fun. read more

what a dump! We went here on a whim since it looked like the view might be nice - it was windy out so the half/half outdoor patio might knock down some of it. What a mistake! I ordered their Murphy's ale which tasted like recycled mix of Coors lite/moosehead (Moors lite?) I ordered the fish and chips and it was dry and over cooked. I could barely cut it with my knife. Would not go there again would not recommend for any reason. read more

If you're looking for the "authentic Maritime experience", Murphy's On The Water is a well rounded provider. With a number of boat tours, as well as deep sea fishing, gift shop, restaurant, and other tricklings of tourist tracks, this place is an all around stress-free way to enjoy Halifax. Its all located down on the waterfront, so visitors can book a tour, grab a bite and peek around the giftshop all in good timing. With the constant summer buzz of this location, its pretty fool-proof! Of course prices are marked up, but overall are nothing out of this world. For the experience and relaxing times of our city, its all a worthy experience. read more

Murphys Boat Tours is a fun time had my all, at least that is what the Bounce is stating. It is a pretty cheap night on Thursdays for around $15.00. If you wish to take a tour around the harbour on the Harbour Queen, or go Deep Sea fishing, Murphys has you covered. Give them a call. read more

Our server was so pleasant and helpful with advice about good dessert locations. It wasn't crowded as they do a lot of cruise business and it's near the end of that. The Lobster Poutine was nice. First time for that fish. We shared and liked it. read more

Had the seafood pasta... Smallest portion of pasta I've ever received for 22 dollars. Barely any seafood and pasta itself was not great. Very overpriced... Quite disappointed. Servers had their hair down and ours even told us she did not care about checking IDs or basically about anything to do with her job.... This was somewhat funny for us ( a group of students ) but not at all professional for surrounding tables of families / seniors. Won't be returning read more

Not recommended. Location is convenient but that is all. Ordered the lobster dip as a starter and it was good. The lobster roll was served on a "hotdog bun" that I could have purchased a dozen for a dollar from the grocery store. Pretty sure the fries were a frozen variety. I have sent a complaint to the N.S. food and safety inspection about the cleanliness of the restaurant. I am giving this a 1 star rating as is the lowest option available. read more

Great location, great views, and great service, but the food leaves much to be desired. If all you want is a cold beer and a great view, then Murphy's is a satisfactory choice. If you want good food, however, Murphy's is probably not your best bet. We stopped by Murphy's on a whim as we were, unfortunately, without Yelp and we'd failed to identify a restaurant before arriving at the waterfront. Murphy's was the first restaurant we saw and we made the mistake of not searching farther down the waterfront. I ordered the Lobster Roll, which came with french fries and my fiancé ordered the Fish and Chips, both were disappointing. My lobster was rather salty and the bun was cold and not toasted. I did not try my fiancé's selection, but she was equally disappointed. We would not return to Murphy's, and I would recommend that you evaluate all your options along the waterfront before selecting Murphy's. read more

Murphy's has a number of things to offer: 1. Restaurant - I have eaten at Murphy's twice, once for supper and once for lunch. My supper meal was a seafood linguine which I thoroughly enjoyed. Large seafood portions and creamy alfredo sauce. My lunch meal (which was yesterday and it was hot!) was a seafood salad. Now I was expecting a huge salad filled with huge morsels of seafood, it was rather small and I was rather disappointed. The prices at Murphy's are pretty steep, it is a tourist destination after all and they seem to be willing to pay. The balcony yesterday at lunch was packed, we were seated right by the water, but we didn't have an umbrella overhead so we baked in the sun, and our Rickard's White turned warm VERY fast. 2. Tours - Murphy's run numerous tours from the waterfront (Harbour Hopper, Party Boat, Whale Watching). The tours are done well with knowledgeable tour guides. 3. Gift shop- I am not a fan of gift shops, actually I despise them. But, Murphy's has a good one for the tourist looking for a stuffed lobster to take home read more

After walking by and along the boardwalk time after time, we finally decided to try Murphy's for dinner. The scenery and location is awesome! We had a small wait for the patio area, which is still enclosed but with plenty of windows to see the water and feel the breeze. We all wanted seafood, since it is kind of the specialty of this spot. We got mussels with a great white wine sauce, and fish and chips. There was a bit of a wait for food, our server did let us know ahead of time about the wait. Although it was pretty quick considering we expected a wait and it was well cooked, it was a little more expensive for what it was. I would definitely try it again, and I am sure on a less busy day it might be a little less hectic! Plus the view alone is worth the trip down! read more

I've been going to Murphy's for more than a decade - it's a never fail family restaurant with a million dollar view of the Halifax Harbor. Prices are reasonable especially when you are taking out visiting friends or relatives. The services is excellent, always prompt and thoughtful. They will go out of their way to help with children or people with disabilities. Wheelchair accessible for sure. We always find something on the menu to please everyone - which is why we like it for visitors. I've had so many meals there over the years I can't remember anything other than the fish - good, lobster - great and steak - good. She likes bacon wrapped chicken. Food is fresh and hot. Fries - which I should not eat anyway - are uninspired. read more

This restaurant is terrible, I wish I had read the Yelp! reviews first. Overpriced, poor quality, service was adequate, not what you would expect for the price. The crab cakes were terrible, perhaps they should go to Maryland to see how it is done properly. Fish and chips, the fish was greasy, the chips of the frozen variety. Again, for the price, you expect better. Service was okay, only one of us got a a refill on the drinks, the server could not be found otherwise. Interesting take though. Was looking at the menu and the lobster stated "Market Price", yes, I've seen this before for seafood and it is mostly reasonable. However, Murphy's takes price gouging to another level. 1 lb lobster = $30 1.5 lb lobster = $40 2 lb lobster = $50 Being in Halifax, we noticed the market price at the many, many, fish distributers was at most $6 per lb. That is quite a mark up Murphy's is giving for some prep, greasy fries, and lousy service. Do not go here, have some poutine over at Smokes! read more

If you are looking for an authentic Halifax waterfront experience, you can't afford to miss eating at Murphy's on the Water. During the summer months this is a great restaurant for tourists because it's right down the boardwalk from the International Busker's Festival and other summertime events. Murphy's specializes in maritime pub food, the menu is mainly seafood dishes with some steaks and sandwiches thrown in. Fish and Chips is the most popular dish and I've always been satisfied with it (but I've always needed to ask for more tartar sauce). The Murphy's decor if a huge draw for me. It has a great nautical theme and is a great part of the dining experience. Hot Hint: Murphy's also does catering, boat tours, special events and weddings, prices and contact information are available on their website. read more

If I could give this a zero star I would. The star is solely for the waterfront view. The service was terrible and the kitchen is NOT accommodating to dietary restrictions. I would recommend people against trying this restaurant. Food was cold and wine was warm. There are so many other options in Halifax ...take your time and look at reviews. read more

I haven't been to the restaurant, but a few friends and I got together to take part of the MAR's tall ship cruise on the weekend. The MAR was our ship, and it's smaller than the touring heavyweight Silva. Even though it's smaller, it can still hold a good number of passengers. Early morning voyages are Pirate cruises, while the later ones are for regular seafarers. Lads and lassies, if you want a swig o' whiskey to go along with your cruise, or are having a party (the cruise just before ours held a bachelorette and two bachelor parties), there's a well-stocked bar below deck for the later voyages. If you don't have your sea legs, no worry, as the crew can find the rum. It's a great little tour that brings you well into the harbour, past George's Island. Arrr, 'tis a great way t' enjoy the sun, learn more about how to run a tall ship, and see Halifax from a different perspective. Y'ell ne'er find buried booty, but you'll fire a cannon! My only complaint is that it's not a "guided" tour, so if you're looking for a more educational experience outside of shooting the breeze with the captain, you're out of luck. read more

Murphy's is always prettty good and is family friendly. For you parents with little ones, there is a change table in the ladies bathroom. It's a bit awkward as it's right in front of the main entrance of the bathroom, so people may bump into you if it's busy. I had the stuffed breaded chicken with roasted potatoes and the hubby had a 3 piece fish and chips. My chicken was a little dry but otherwise my meal was fine, and my husband said his fish and chips were the best he's had. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Perhaps not my favorite spot but it's perfect for a quick fish and chips fix downtown. read more

Late Dinner. Seating was quick and the server was attentive. The kitchen was very SLOW. The food was just ok. The Garden spring salad with blueberry dressing said it would come with pumpkin seeds but never did. The presentation was very bad with the dressing in a cup spilled all over the side. It wasn't bad tasting though. The view on the water is nice. However, if you want good food, there is a ton of great food within blocks that is far superior than Murphy's. read more

Waited 30+ minutes for a table, asked about when we were getting seated. Was told that they "forgot" about our table of 6 and that we would be seated next. Got sat down waited another 5+ minutes and no server. Then another tour group of 20+ people walked in and 2 servers followed them to their table. We got up and left as we probably wouldn't get served for a long time. Can't see us going back read more

We were in Halifax for vacation recently we went to Murphy's on the waterfront. I ordered the lobster roll and it was terrible. It had a strong "bad seafood" smell (i.e. not fresh at all). They also used too much dressing and the bun was uninspiring (bland and not toasted). Just to make comparison, a day later we had a McLobster at a local McDonalds. This was 100X better than the one we had at Murphy's. For a good dinner in Halifax, try "2 Doors Down", or "The Bicycle Thief", or "Gio". Don't waste your time and money at Murphy's. read more

All I can say is wow- so glad we didn't pay for that! This review is for the "Nature and Whale watching tour" through Murphys. My husband won tickets to go on the whale watching tour at a golf tournament so that's the only reason we went. I was pretty excited, I thought it was going to be a lot of fun! All I can say is zzzzzzzzzz. The service and everyone working is GREAT; so nice and helpful! That's the only reason I gave two stars. We arrived at the waterfront and realized we forgot our voucher for the tickets, we knew we had no time to go home and get it so we decided to go down to murphys and see what we could work out. We ended up paying for the tour ($92 for two people...) and they would refund us when we brought in our voucher. This was awesome and totally reasonable. This was good since we wouldn't have to reschedule or anything. As for the actual tour..... The hostess and captain and first mate were great. You get to hear some history on halifax on your way out the harbour, just your basic stuff (nothing we didn't really already know) but still cool. The boat goes VERY SLOW. Wouldn't be so bad if you actually saw something. We were actually hoping it would end sooner. The trip is about two long hours of a slow boat ride basically. I guess they try to make up for this by hauling up a lobster trap and doing a little show and tell on lobster and passing them around. We only saw some cormorants and one seal (that we saw ourselves, not pointed out to us) and nothing else, no whales on this whale watching tour. On the way back they invite you to throw some bread to seagulls... I am writing this review as a native Nova Scotia girl, born and raised. Might be fun to a tourist, but to me a lobster trap and some seagulls ain't nothing special. At almost $100 for two people, it's a little misleading to call this a whale watching tour when all the reviews I've read on both yelp and trip advisor no one has seen a whale on the trip. I'm just glad we had the gift certificate for it or else I would have been pretty disappointed at spending $100 on that. Sorry if this review sounds harsh! Definitely a tourist trap kinda thing. read more

First time here and first time posting a review and there should be a different method to the star rating, like this: Service: 5 star Location: 5 star Menu (food&drink) selection: 4.5 star Food ordered: 0, 0 & 0 stars Drinks ordered: 0 stars & 5 stars Food: Mussels: was terrible and they give no butter to dip them in, apparently if any it's served on your plate to dip it in which I tried and it was yuck!!! Seafood chowder: menu said it won first place in a chowder competition so we thought it would be pretty good to try, wrong!! It was a terrible chowder overloaded with bay scallops compared to anything else in the bowl, the scallops was the only thing that made this bearable to eat and they give you no crackers or bread to suffer this down with. Fried Haddock: the one we received looked nowhere's near the one pictured in the reviews, the pictured one (that was posted by another reviewer) shows a generously crusted piece of fish, the one we got barely had anything on it and they loaded the top with way too much salsa, which had to be scrapped off because it really was not a good combo. Drinks ordered: bottled domestic beer (blue or corona can't remember which one) 5 star piña colada 5 star sangria 0 star The sangria came before I finished the piña coloada thank god! That way I had something good to end of the most horrible drink which costed too much. When we first walked in on the patio there was near the entrance filled with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and almost full pictures of the sangria. At first I thought, that's not good. I ordered a drink of it anyway (you can get this by the picture). It tasted like pure alcohol, way to strong, and not enjoyable. The orange from my piña coloada and the lemon and lime in the sangria I squeezed the juices in it to make it bearable to get it down. They should have posted what year they won the chowder competition. We joked that they must have been the only ones to compete. Out of all the chowders I have tried, this was the most plentiful with seafood and veggies. The patio is awesome, but, be expected to have some birds join you and fly around you. I didn't expect this and didn't know what to think about it. It is lovely to watch the ferries go back and forth and all the other boats, especially the frog hopper! I would definitely love to go back and try some other things on the menu. read more

Was on a mission to find lobster roll in Halifax. They do get points for having one available after 4pm. Got shut out at several other spots. Lobster itself was just so-so. But was served on a cold and somewhat soggy hot dog roll. For 20 something bucks, gotta at least put some effort in. No? read more

My fiancé and I were really looking forward to the Nature and Whale Watching Tour on our trip to Halifax - unfortunately, between the two of us we ended up paying over $100 to see some upscale houses and a cargo ship being loaded. I received a confirmation email after booking online a few days prior (which was a quick, easy and seamless process) that our boat would board at 3:45PM on Wednesday at 5050 Salter St and that we needed to arrive no later than 30 minutes before. We made our way down to Salter Street around 2:30PM for a bite to eat, stopping at the booking kiosk before to see if we could just board with our online passes... much to our surprise there was no one at the kiosk and no hours of operation listed. We attempted to call the number provided and were sent to voicemail. We assumed someone would arrive closer to the tour time so we got our lunch and went back around 3:05. Still no one. We went on the website and there were no changes listed. My fiancé proceeded through the website as if he was going to book a new tour at which he was notified that the next available tour was that day at 5:00PM. We called again. This time to be told that yes, in fact our tour time had changed to 5:00PM and we had not been notified and that we were not at the correct location to board. We had to go to the actual restaurant. At this point it is 3:45 so we had no time to go explore or do anything else - we decided to make our way down to the restaurant for a drink before boarding. Our server was lovely; however, our appetizer was mediocre at best. It was clearly frozen and just warmed to serve. We went outside to wait for our boat (Kawartha) only to see two other boats there, neither with that name. So we went into the ticket location they have onsite and asked - we were told we would be boarding a smaller boat instead. It was small, beat up and not nearly as nice as the ones used in the imagery. BUT we kept a positive mindset and rolled with it. We boarded and left the dock at the correct time but all I could think about as the ship started moving was how not one of the staff members or the captain introduced themselves or apologized for the hour plus delay or confusion. Within a few minutes the woman staffer introduced herself and the crew members- she was kind and made conversation with most of the group. Unfortunately, she didn't seem well trained in the harbour waters and read off her piece of paper when we were coming up on important monument or area. She maybe talked to or read 6 points throughout the whole 2.5 hour tour. We did get to hold a lobster and see how they get banded and she seemed to know what she was talking about and get excited about it. There was limited knowledge or information shared about anything we were seeing, about Halifax itself or really anything ocean related for that matter. That was incredibly disappointing. However, still in good spirits we continued our journey out to sea only to be guided into a narrow area with upscale million dollar homes and boats........ yes, this was on the NATURE and WHALE watching tour. More than an hour of our trip on the water was spent looking at homes. We also saw one cargo ship on our way back..... that was the extent of our tour. As we were getting closer to shore a man from our group began asking questions like why we didn't leave the harbour, if they have ever actually seen whales where we went out today, ect. The employee was clearly embarrassed when she had to tell us that they never actually leave the harbour and they have seen whales but maybe not for a few days... Don't get me wrong, we are in no way disappointed that we didn't see whales - we knew that it was not a guarantee but this was just an expensive and very pointless trip around the harbour. We feel like we were scammed and with the shift our time slot, we ended up wasting 6 hours for this useless tour. Before booking, understand: * The boat DOES NOT leave the harbour * You will likely see minimal related to nature or Halifax * You will get minimal information from the guides. Through all our communications with multiple staffers today, not one of them, even the boat staff, apologized for any of the issues that occurred today. read more

This review is for the Nature and Whale watching tour. 4 adults, 3 children. While the tour operators were knowledgeable and friendly, the overall experience was disappointing. I have been on whale watching tours before where there the staff would look for whales using binoculars and technology. The captain would react accordingly and change their course to find whales. None of this happened. I am not upset we did not see whales, but I am very upset that this was a boat tour NOT a whale watching tour. If i had known it was a slow run up and down the harbour then there is no way I would have spent over $200 to do this (or wasted almost 3 hours). Feeding the seagulls was laughable... it was an insult to an already disappointing experience. Do not do this tour, even for free. It was boring and a waste of time. read more

A very underwhelming experience. Was pulled into restaurant with the promise of Lobster Poutine and Lobster Burger. Best thing we could say was the view was nice. Everything was hot and 'edible' and the server was very nice, but that's where it ends. There was barely ANY lobster on the poutine and burger. Both items had a 'Lobster Hollandaise' sauce but not sure we tasted anything as good as hollandaise. Fries and burger were both frozen. Seriously...how hard is it to make fries and a burger from scratch? And isn't it a minimum expectation? Unmemorable and felt cheated. Felt like we way overpaid and wasted a meal in Halifax where there are MUCH better locations to eat. We had an excellent Lobster Poutine at The Cut Grill (dish no longer there and restaurant renamed) and they did it right. And a much better Lobster Burger at Ryan Duffy's. This is a tourist trap. Plain and simple. Go elsewhere for local seafood options. read more

We had dinner at Murphy's for an event. Full disclosure, it was a large event with 600 people. Unfortunately the food was not good. The salad was ok. We had salmon with some pesto sauce or something on top of rice and green beans. The fish was good but the rest was not. The dessert was apple crumb which was also disappointing. But the worst was the vegetarian meal. It was steam white rice with steam vegetables on top. No spices or sauce. It was very sad for those who got that dish. Good location, right on the water. But don't expect good food. read more

I can't think of a worse place to eat in Halifax. Tourist trap,essentially. Staff seem to be annoyed by every request, service is insanely slow, bartenders can't make classic drinks. It's just overall an odd place. The food tastes microwaved and not worth the price. I've been here twice now (against my suggestion), and experienced the same crap service and food both times. Super disappointing because I hope tourists don't think this is what Halifax has to offer. read more

just ate at the restaurant and service was quite slow and food only ok. Alot of the staff were not wearing masks at the bar and going in and out of the kitchen. Won't be going back read more

My fiancé and I took the Wines on the Water tour last night. It is a 2 hour tour including local wine and food from Lucketts Vineyard. The advertising is quite ambiguous and led us to believe we would be having a dinner with various wine pairings. Once on board we discovered small portions of wine maybe 2oz per glass and the food was a sample of a menu item, for example 1 kebab with 3 small pieces of beef. While the food was delicious and the wines excellent, we feel that a price of $120 per person is quite high for what we got. The service was great and the tour of the Halifax waterfront and Northwest Arm was breathtaking. read more

My fiancé, my mother and father and myself went deep sea fishing with Murphy's. It was a great time, the weather was nice. When we go out there we all caught some fish (mostly pollack, a mackerel and some cod). The crew were friendly and taught us how to use the rods. They also gutted the fish we caught if we wanted to take them home and cook them. Great experience. read more

This is a classic Halifax restaurant that caters to tourists. As a result, the food is mediocre and the prices are steep. My lobster roll came on a wonderbread hotdog bun but my wife's lobster poutine was good. Lunch cost almost 70 dollars for two mains and waters. The building is historical and the views over the water amazing. read more
