I came here for brunch on a Sunday morning with my friends. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar, which wasn't crowded and fully staffed. The hostess told us that their brunch is becoming very popular, and that people make reservations weeks in advance. I was surprised to hear that so many 20 something year olds in Hoboken are booking Sunday brunch weeks in advance as opposed to stumbling in hungry and hungover like we did. But definitely make a reservation if you want a table. Halifax has a super trendy vibe and a great view of the NYC skyline. The space is large and very open. For somewhere between 21 and 23 (I don't remember and they appear to change their prices) dollars, you get unlimited small plates. For a little more than that, you get a bottle of champagne. Not sure if you get more or less than that, depending on your party size. That was unclear. Actually, a lot of this menu was very unclear, which I'll get into. If you just want to order a la carte, small plates are $6 each. The way the menu reads, it seems like you can pick and choose from all the small plates and order as much or as little as you want. But in actuality, if you choose the unlimited option, they bring out all of the small plates in waves. This was very poorly explained and stressful for me, as I have food allergies. We finally understood what was going on once they started bringing everything out, but it was confusing because there were a few times where they brought out just one of something, and we had to remind them that there were 3 of us, to which we heard them mutter under their breaths "you only ordered 1." No, we didnt order anything except say that we were doing the unlimited brunch! It was all extremely strange and confusing. The servers were also being very literal. Like I ordered a coffee and they brought me black coffee with no sugar or cream and didn't ask me if I wanted any. The food was very delicious. It's all locally sourced. There was so much of it for a very reasonable price. It was all cooked well, and there was so much variety. They had both hot and cold plates. I wanted to give Halifax 4 stars but couldn't due to the choppy service. Nevertheless, I'd come back and recommend their brunch to others. read more

Went here with family and friends on my birthday in July. We thoroughly enjoyed the bottomless brunch options. The French toast, quiche, biscuits and gravy, and wings were some favorites. When you do order more of an item, it's understandably a smaller portion. I think they also limit how often they come back to the table..lol My only criticism is that they'd rather waste food than let you take home leftovers for brunch. My group was unaware and fortunately, we'd eaten most of the food but unfortunately there was still some food waste..a good amount of pasta and other things. We asked for takeout containers and were informed of the policy. I asked one of the waitstaff if the food went in the garbage and he confirmed it did. Least they could do is compost it. I know there's people that will order a lot of everything just to take it home, but throwing food out instead is cringey. Hopefully they find another solution. There's already a 2 hour seating limit so that should prevent some of the over ordering. read more

I came here for brunch for my friends birthday and it is definitely a great brunch spot for large groups! The view is beautiful overlooking the river and NYC. The interior is gorgeous as well with great opportunities for pictures! The food was also great, there were so many options if you did not like one portion of the brunch. They give you little plates of everything, and mostly everything I ate and enjoyed. The only issue I have with Halifax was our reservation was for 2pm, and of course we got there a little bit early but they would not sit us until exactly 2 even though our table was ready which I thought was a little bit strange. Also they only played music during the brunch time so from 2-4 there was music but before and after there was nothing playing, it was silent, which I also thought was strange. Lastly, during the brunch it was supposed to be unlimited mimosas and food and for about 40 minutes during the 2 hour brunch they did not come to our table one to give us more of the brunch or fill our drinks. They realized their mistake and brought us shots for the whole party which really was so kind! read more

Came here for a brunch birthday and I'm a bit in between on if I want to rate higher or lower. Their menu changes week to week so check it online before you go. While their menu says you get 1 bottle of sparkling wine each, that is not actually true. Their servers walk around with bottles and top off your glass; so, you could drink more than the bottle if you keep getting refills or you could drink substantially less if you don't (the wine wasn't good in my opinion). Pros - Their manager Maria is awesome. She's super responsive and will explain everything. She sends you everything through email and will work with you on dates if needed. There are some really good menu items for brunch (see my photos for notes on everything we ate). Some of my favorites were the yogurt parfait (i was surprised), potato poutine, potato-leek soup, beef sliders, smoked chicken salad, and taylor ham egg and cheese (a little greasy but good otherwise), and the vegetable fried grains. All of the food was good or better. Nothing was terrible. Technically, "unlimited" sparkling wine. They switch up their menu so if you go back, it isn't the same thing every time. Cons - Their sparkling wine is not something I would pick ever. It's from the brand Anna. It's dry and for me, went down a little rough. The servers came around and topped off your glass which didn't help as you couldn't add the juice (orange or strawberry) to the glass; however, they were pretty attentive. I had to ask them to only fill halfway so I could mix my own glass. The food comes out slow. I understand the amount of food they are making but we felt like we were just sitting there and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. It comes out in rounds and they bring out around 3 items every 15-20 minutes. The space was gold, granted I went in winter but I should not be shivering at my table. The physical atmosphere is pretty but the vibe is dull. They had a mix of music playing but the music was at a low volume. Twice, someone went over and turned up the music for a few seconds and in those two times, the whole vibe changed for the entire room of people. Everyone got more excited and upbeat but those moments were brief as the music was quickly lowered. The place overall is clean but my friend did need to get a new glass when we got there as there was something in her champagne flute. Price - Brunch is $38 for 11 or fewer people and $39 for 12 or more. With 12 or more, you get a personalized menu and you only get to pick 10 items off their brunch menu where if you have 11 or fewer you get to sample everything, so I say leave the extra friends at home. Overall, I say the cons outweigh the pros. I may be back in the future but won't go out of my way to come here. read more

Stopped here for drinks and had a really good time. I haven't tried the food but I looked at the menu and it looks really good. Usually I am afraid of restaurants that are connected to hotels but so far in Jersey City and Hoboken and I have been fairly surprised with the quality of restaurants that are connected. Stafa super nice and it seems like a really cool date five. They even have outdoor seating which is right on the water so you have a really cool view of the city and can enjoy the outdoors. Will definitely come back for food as well as drinks read more

First, I have barely left any negative review. However, I have to do it this time. During a recent visit at the beautiful Sunday morning to celebrate a child's birthday, we were disheartened by the disappointing service and false accusations from the management. Despite our polite inquiries and feedback about not being offered a menu and inadequate service, we were met with hostility and were even accused of snapping fingers at the waitress--a claim that is entirely false. We believe that every customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, especially when dining with family on special occasions. We share this experience to raise awareness about the unacceptable service we received, and we encourage others to think twice before choosing to dine at this establishment. read more

Halifax is in the swanky W Hotel. The restaurant has a very "clean" upscale vibe. The ambiance is very inviting and romantic. I came for dinner for their Tuesday tasting where they have 5 small plates paired with 5 different wines for $29.00. Very good deal for the quality of food, but when the say small plates, they are small! I felt the wines were perfectly paired with each plate. My favorite dishes were the cheese plate and short rib with polenta. Also, the dessert, a seasonal pumpkin cake, was the perfect bite to end the meal. It was nice to try a little bit of everything. I thought the service was very attentive and was pleased with my experience. I will be back to try their brunch. read more

Had a beautiful post Valentine's Day dinner here since hubby was traveling. This is my second visit as my first was a business meeting. Didn't take pics then of the food, but it was exceptional! On this visit we had a charcuterie, raw clams and oysters, scallops entree, and a chicken entree. Forgive me as I can't remember the names of the entrees, but they seasonally change their menu and I did not see them on its current line up. However I never forget a great meal! Charcuterie was probably one of the best I have eaten! Scallops were sumptuous with the Israeli couscous. My hubby killed his chicken entree made with currants and balsamic! Dessert was this incredible slice of chocolate ganache heaven! Did I even mention I devoured the complimentary salt n pepper popcorn or the chocolate cookies and house infused cognac?! Located in the W Hotel with valet parking, you cannot go wrong here if you are looking for some excellent fine dining! Hotel is great too! Perfect for a local weekend getaway overlooking the Hudson with views of NYC! read more

We went on Sunday for their brunch after hearing great reviews. We were disappointed to say the least The service was terrible. The waiter we had was very slow but on top of that rude. Whenever we had a question about the menu, wanted to order more, or asked for a clean plate he seemed extremely annoyed. He also accused my friend of eating the "bubbles and brunch" food when she ordered her own meal due to severe allergies saying he was going to charge her when she didn't eat any of it. Also don't understand the bottomless mimosa portion when we each only had 3 glasses of champagne refilled in 2 hours. Service was super slow and they were again annoyed when we wanted more. They also were out of coffee... when it's a brunch spot I don't understand that. The food was good so no complaints there read more

I came here for brunch and loved it. It's not a regular brunch spot like a pancake house. It's one price & everything comes out family style then you can re order what you liked. I loved the parfait and french toast. The potato's and Mac and cheese was also great. I highly recommend trying them out . Only con is that they could throw in some seafood options for pescatarians or more veggie options. Beautiful ambiance. read more

2 hour brunch with unlimited champagne and food. The food comes out family style and in courses. You can repeat any dishes that you liked the most. The champagne glasses were never even close to being empty, our server Mackenzie did an amazing job refilling them and was also very welcoming. We made our reservation about 2 months ago and it was so worth the wait. Reservation was for 2:00 and we were sat on time. The music was also great! I will recommend Halifax brunch to everyone! Had a great experience. read more

I've known of Halifax for awhile but mostly just for their classy looking brunches, but I'd never been. I came with my boyfriend with no reservation and got a table outside (it was a crazy beautiful night) no problem. This place is right on the water so you can't ask for a better view with your dinner. On top of the view being amazing, we had a great dinner too. We started off with wine - they have a nice big menu to select from. We started off with the steamed clams as an appetizer and honestly couldn't get enough of the broth. I mean, the clams were amazing too, but my God, I could have gone swimming in that broth. For our mains, I usually hate getting the same thing as the other person I am eating with, but the Lobster Rigatoni sounded too good and neither of us would give it up. Okay, so to be honest, I didn't love it. It was good, but not great. I needed to add quite a bit of salt, which I usually never do. My boyfriend said the same thing. It was still a tasty dish, but next time I come, I'd try something else. Our waiter was really friendly and quick and just overall awesome. For two mains and an appetizer, our bill was around 100 with tip. (We luckily had tickets for two comped glasses of wine, so that was amazing!) But it did seem like a pricey dinner, but look where you are eating. I'd always (usually) choose to pay a little more to enjoy dinner with a view like that. I'd absolutely come back and wouldn't mind trying the infamous brunch here one day soon. read more

The first time I heard about brunch at the Halifax I thought, "How am I going to get full from small plates?". Then I learned that they are endless small plates AND you get everything that's on the brunch menu. At one point, I had to stop at the sliders because I was so full. Mimosas are bottomless for the two hours. Waiters/waitresses come around with champagne and fill everyone's glass to the rim and you are given two bottles of juice for the table to make a mimosa or bellini. Surprisingly, the brunch is very affordable. I've had brunch here a few times and was never disappointed. One thing I recommend is to reserve a table at least two weeks in advance. They book very quickly. Especially for large parties. read more

Halifax - Seafood Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Large party review only: I came here this past Sunday to celebrate my cousin's bridal shower. We had the "private" party room rental for 3 hours. First off, the space is so beautiful! The restaurant faces the Hudson River - hard to see the skyline because of the street lined trees. The hotel has valet parking which is pretty pricey, but there is a deck right across that has a flat fee of $20 on weekends which is still pricey but better than the hotel. Anyways, my SIL communicated with the manager in the weeks leading up to the shower, and the manager/owner was able to provide a special menu for us since we were ALL vegetarian. The bridal shower brunch consisted of plates like Quinoa Sliders, Roasted Potatoes, Parfait, Vegetable Pasta, and about 5 other dishes!! The food was...phenomenal. It was also a 'boozy' brunch so there was champagne as well. Unlike a regular boozy brunch, our glasses were not filled continuously which was fine in this situation since we had to keep getting up (for games, announcements, etc). Although I loved the atmosphere of a shower, I felt that it was too hectic. Plus the kitchen was in the same room, so waiters would constantly be in and out of the room so it didn't feel like a private party. As for a party of this size (there were about 35 of us), I don't recommend. But, I definitely recommend for a small group or regular dining. I would LOVE to come back for a meal with just a small group of us. read more

I mean... what's not to like about Halifax? Swanky vibes? Check Posh decor? Uh huhhhh A unique menu with fresh seafood? YUP Excellent cocktails? You bet And on the Hoboken waterfront to boot. Halifax, we're going to be besties. I've been in a few times for cocktails but finally had to chance to try some eats. On Tuesday night they have a special tasting menu that comes with 5 small plates and 5 small wine pours for 29.00. The plates are small but five amounts to a pretty solid sized meal. And the pours are small but five amounts to at least 2 glasses. So for 29.00 this is a pretty solid deal, especially considering how nice of a place Halifax is. The courses included a small cheese and meat plate, salmon crudo, some green veggies (asparagus, I think?), short rib with sweet peas and a sweet strawberry biscuit with ice cream for dessert. There were a variety of pours including red, white, rose, champagne and vermouth. The standout of the meal was definitely the short rib, which was juicy and flavorful. This was also a pretty large piece of meat for a 'small plate'. The service was a bit slow, but when you're hanging out in a place like Halifax it's really hard to complain about anything. Plus, our server was incredibly sweet. I want to come back for everything. I want to come back for their bottomless brunch - it's something like 32 dollars for unlimited bubbly and small plates. I want to come back in the summer and enjoy a drink on the patio, and I want to return for a regular dinner and try out some of the entrees. I've been eyeing the lobster pasta. Halifax, you've won me over! read more

Mack and Patrick took SUCH good care of us from breakfast to brunch on Sunday. The restaurant was understaffed (as so many service jobs are these days) so the kitchen was moving slow, but Mack made special accommodations knowing we were waiting patiently. She was super attentive and kind, making our brunch experience PERFECT. You really can't go wrong with the Bubbles Brunch. You get so much food and they keep your champagne glass full at all times. There was another person pouring champagne, whose name I didn't get, who also gave us great great service. Overall, 5/5 for the service - we were incredibly impressed and appreciative. Knocking off one star overall because the food didn't blow me away, but it was still very tasty. There was a bridal party going on in the room next door and it looked like a stunning place to hold such an event. With views of the water and huge windows that allow for great light to pour in, definitely consider Halifax for your next event with a big party. Thanks to the team at Halifax for a great experience. We'll definitely be back. read more

I'm not going to lie, I had a good experience here. The service was great, it was the night before my birthday so they made me feel special. The food is good, we had some shrimp fritters which were really good and the salmon was delicious. The view of this place is great because is right close to the water so it's a nice experience. You get popcorn and bread to start but I think they gave us very little popcorn and it was party of 5. It's tough for someone who loves popcorn to much and has to share that tiny bowl with 5 people! The amount of popcorn was more for my dog who barely even weighs 10lbs. Also, the salmon was delicious, but the amount of food is very little for the price. Again, it's a nice place, food is good and they even got me chocolate chip cookies and sang happy birthday to me. I really loved that part!!! read more

Came for brunch with friends and had a great time, definitely would return. Loved all the different courses and the options within each course. Particularly liked that everything was pre-portioned to be one item/serving per person, instead of serving a plate of food to split amongst yourselves - made sharing easier and much cleaner. Even though it was "unlimited" we did not get any additional food at the end - with so many courses and bites to try throughout the meal we didn't have room for any extras. Staff was accommodating and attentive - we ate outside and they moved an umbrella over to our table since it was so hot and sunny. Our champagne (and waters) was always full which was much appreciated. Make sure to get the strawberry purée foe the mimosas - the OJ was nothing special (fine, but standard) but the strawberry juice was delicious! ! read more

Ah maz ing! Came for dinner on Tuesday and brunch today. Brunch was my favorite. $32 for unlimited champagne and tons of smalls plates. Such a great way to try everything and whatever you love they bring more of! Perfect for a large group you can all share and test everything out. Huge selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options on the menu. Dinner was good too,great wine selection perfect pairing with our meal. Pear salad was delicious next up were the fall grains. It was a mix of quinoa, dark and Squash, very tasty. The main dish were the short ribs...according to fellow yelper Jason, they should be gentle. These were not. They were good but I wouldn't want a whole plate of them. read more

Ahh sooo many good things to say about Halifax! Mostly being that the setting and ambiance of the whole place made my experience great along with the company I had. Comfy chairs, high ceilings along with the exposed open windows overlooking manhattan NY. I really felt like I was having brunch brunch. Lol. Let talk about the food! My group and I all did bubbles brunch which came with unlimited small plates of whatever was on the menu and a bottle of sparkling wine. Not necessarily a bottle of wine cause the servers just came around each table and kept refilling our glass if it looked low. Also came with a bottle of guava and orange juice already on the table. To make it easy for us and the servers, they brought out all the food that was on the menu and if there was a dish that we really liked, we could just order it again. Keep in mind that brunch is only for 2 hours for whatever time you reserved it for so make sure you keep on ordering! Food! (Small plates and I mean mini) Prepare for this to be long. -yogurt parfait with strawberry rhubarb, almond granola and berries. Great starter but a little too tart imo. -fruit salad with melons, pineapple and strawberries. Fresh and we're cut up into nice small pieces. Perfect for babies or small children to eat. -arugula and squash salad made with apples, Gorgonzola and apple cider vinaigrette Not a big fan of arugula but I loved how they prepared the salad. Vinaigrette was delicious. -deviled eggs (smoked herring, scallions and garlic chips) Sooooo good. My fav dish. Yolk was so creamy! Ordered 3 plates. My bf loved it! -challah French toast topped with maple whipped cream and almonds. Another fav. Literally ordered 3 plates of it. What is in that cream sauce? Currently drooling thinking about it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND -ham and eggs (poached egg, potatoes, ham and onion) Egg was super poached and oozed out nicely after cutting it with my fork. Potatoes complimented it very well. -Halifax smoked salmon with rye toast, cream cheese, scallion and capers A nice blend of crunch, salty and smoothness in your mouth. So goooodddd. -potato poutine with cheddar cheese curds and sherry gravy Cheese kinda got hard and the potatoes were stuck together not making it have that gooey effect. Wasn't really my fav. -mushroom bisque made with creme fraiche and chives Kinda salty for my taste but my friends loved it and ordered more of it. -seafood paella with shrimp, mussels, clams, saffron and tomatoes It came in a little Chinese take out box that was so cute! Flavor was good but a little bit salty. -mushroom Mac n cheese made with smoked Gouda and leeks? It was so cheesy. I personally like it a lot. Ordered another one. Lol -beef sliders (brioche bun, bacon onion marmalade and white cheddar) Was kinda dry. Would've been perfect if cooked at medium rare -beet brioche with goat cheese and dill It was surprisingly good. The beet was served 2 ways and gave it a good texture with the bread. -warm croissant (pancetta, jack cheese, arugula pesto, pickled peppers) Also really good. Flavors married well together. CONGRATULATIONS! You've made it to the end of the review! If you made it this far you're a real one. All in all this place had to probably be one of the best brunches I've ever been to. A little bit pricey but well worth it in my option cause I left feeling so full. The service was great as well. Definitely recommend coming here and make sure to make a reservation if you do! read more

NOT A FAN!!! Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and left very unimpressed (ending with a side of indigestion). We were a party of 13 and ordered a variety of items off the menu. The hit of our meal was the bread (fresh Parker rolls) & the cookies (fresh baked served at the end). For starters, our group ordered the lamb meatballs (ok), the salted cod and shrimp fritters (ehhhh), shrimp cocktail (person who ordered this got a bad one and had to leave the table to spit it out), mussels (ok) & oysters. The service isn't that great either. A few people in the group almost lost the plates they were still picking at. Hoboken definitely has much better pLaces. Will not be back! read more

This is my favorite spot in town! All of the staff are absolutely amazing, they really make you feel like family. I've been for dinner twice, and the berkshire pork chop main course is outstanding! My bf has tried the prime New York strip and the smoked Amish chicken which were also fantastic. Everything was perfectly cooked and the sides complimented the proteins so nicely. They also have a great scotch selection and awesome wine list. I haven't been here for brunch yet, but I've heard great things about that too! read more

I came here for a birthday dinner with a party of 14 and overall was disappointed. Not sure if we were just unlucky and caught them on an off night or what happened. I do have to say that the food was delicious but the overall service was just very slow and seemed not very organized especially for the amount of $$$ everything was. First when we arrived for our reservation we were notified that our table wasn't ready and would have to wait, which i thought was pretty strange. To make up for this they did offer everyone a complementary glass of champagne which was very nice. After this is was all going well until it took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. They ended up forgetting about the Lamb Meatball appetizer and then did give us a complementary appetizer. For the main meal i had the Lobster Rigatoni, which was very yummy. By the time the main meal arrived we were all so hungry that the portion sizes seemed way to small. After the whole meal everyone still seemed to be hungry and overall just disappointed. To make up for the long wait time with the food they did give us complementary cookies and made a little birthday dessert for my friend. I would have given them less stars but because they did try to make up for all the things that went wrong I went with 3 stars. I'd like to think if I came back another time it would be a better experience but not sure if I'll be coming back. read more

Great date night spot! I came here for dinner for my boyfriends birthday and service + location was beautiful. The restaurant is next to the W hotel with a great outdoor seating to watch the sunset. I was skeptical coming to this location as I had only heard great reviews about the brunch. The dinner was even better because the Lamb meatballs: very seasoned and yummy. Salmon: favorite dish, perfectly cooked. The dish came with a sauce on top that could come separately but really balanced the meal. Ribeye: special at the time for the dinner menu and was a rare type only found in New Jersey. It's was so juicy and flavorful that I really hope whoever reads this review can order on the menu. Serving was huge and well worth the price behind it. read more

The star is for the food which is excellent. We have been to halifax many times. The reason for the poor rating is the primary server and manager today. (The support staff serving champagne and serving/clearing dishes were excellent) We calmly voiced our concerns to the waitress about the 25 minutes we were waiting between courses while others were being served. She took it as a personal attack. Never apologized and said it was like that all the time. We have never had worse service than today, and never had a server more rude or annoyed. The manager then came over with food that we already had received. We stated that we were still waiting for something requested before that dish. At which time the manage told us to "please leave"??!! We were in shock. Instead of apologizing and trying to get the food we were waiting for, he insisted we leave. It was insulting, disgusting behavior from someone who should be supporting their customers. He refused to give us his name, but there is a photo attached. Sadly, unless there was new management and staff, we will never return there. read more

One of the best places to dine with a view. When you enter, the restaurant is picturesque with modern and aesthetic decorations. And once you're seated, you get a great view of the Hudson River and NYC skyline. Are here for a late lunch wth a friend. We both got the Halifax Burger - very delicious and decadent. I especially liked the bacon-onion marmalade and Fresno pepper sauce. However, both burgers were extremely overcooked as me and my friend ordered medium and medium rare respectively and the burger was definitely well done. The salad accompanying the burger was a disappointment - soggy, bitter, and bland. Overall, will return for the view and another try at the menu. We came at an odd time on a weekday so service was slow and could've been better. I hope to return for a better experience. read more

Halifax has a very popular 2 hour unlimited brunch and optional sparkling wine. For unlimited food, the quality is fairly good and has variety. You're allowed to order repeats of any small plate, but because it's typically busy, the service can be slow. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has soaring windows that give views of the Hudson. Just know that the music is very loud for brunch standards. read more

No, just no. Seems easy..you sleep here and grab a brunch with unlimited champagne. NO! The waiter will not come over. Even if you ask the hostess for service she will look at you like you're not welcome. Once you get some of the small plates included in the unlimited brunch, still, don't get excited. You will need to beg the employee for more food. When you do, they will tell you they are busy. The poutine is good. Who doesn't like fries and cheese-it's hard to mess it up. Warm quiche is pretty good too-but go to Costco and buy a box that will last the year and taste the same. Smoked salmon, not bad. It's all mediocre and like being at a wedding where it's passed hors d'oeuvres yet you're not standing near the kitchen so you can't get a bite to eat. They try to make up the lack of service and food by over-serving some wasted patrons. Maybe they bank on those tables for tips for the day? Ambiance is nice but still, the lack of service and food for an unlimited brunch is unreal. Skip Halifax and try many of the other options in the area. read more

I was here for brunch just yesterday and all in all it was a great experience. the location is lovely, stationed by the W hotel and with a beautiful view of the NYC skyline. The space felt very airy and light, and the music was low but just the right amount! We had the family style Bubbles Brunch, which was diverse and yummy. It definitely had something for everyone. I tasted almost everything on our menu and i didn't have any complaints. From the Mac and cheese, the the mushroom soup, poutine, paella and smoked salmon. Nothing out of the ordinary but great nonetheless. One thing I would say is that amount of food is not filling, but it might just be the style of brunch we chose. This is a good spot for big groups, you will have fun. The champagne was super good and everyone was tipsy at the end. read more

I went to Halifax on a Thursday night for dinner with two of my girlfriends, and overall it was a nice meal. Halifax is located in the W Hotel, so set up to be an upscale restaurant right on the water with a beautiful view of the NYC skyline. The service was good, we were honestly rushed a bit but I was with friends I haven't seen in awhile so it was taking some time to get through our courses. The cocktail menu was different, so I went with a glass of wine instead. As for the food, it's a very health conscious restaurant offering a lot of cauliflower and light options. To be honest i didn't really love the menu, and when I'm going out to eat I want to indulge so I'm personally not a huge fan of their approach. We tried the oyster and cauliflower flat bread as an appetizer which were both just okay, nothing out of the ordinary. And for the entree we got the seafood risotto which was very tasty and was my favorite part of the meal. I do not plan on going back to Halifax but I would recommend for anyone looking for an upscale atmosphere. read more

I don't know where to start. Service was good but the food was sub par and the serving size was a joke. I had two cocktails which were decent, nothing to rave about. $16-$17 for cocktails, I was expecting better. $38 dollar for a kids serving of food is just so unsatisfying, especially when the food isn't good. We stopped by Taco Bell on the way home since it was late and haven't had it in a while AND WE WERE STILL HUNGRY! I wouldn't go again as there are way better spots. Went to Molos a few weeks back and it's way better for the same money and better views. read more

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. I've heard mixed reviews but needed to find out for myself. Going with a large group (8 total) we were ready to go all in on a delicious dinner. We ordered apps and the waitress didn't provide guidance that should have offered. Devil eggs and meatballs came out with only enough to feed 2 or 3 guests. This was a business dinner and we were cutting eggs in half so people could taste them. We luckily ordered a few other things but having the server let us know we needed a few of each app for our group size was a miss on their end. Drinks and stemware for bottles of wine came out painfully slow and overall the food and service just did not make this a memorable meal. It seems like Halifax has all the right ingredients to create a great dining experience but it's falling flat somewhere.

Did someone say bottomless brunch?! I came here with a bridesmaids party and we sat at their sunny corner booth that seated 9 comfortably. The place was packed with many birthdays/showers/brunch parties going on that Saturday afternoon. The interiors were beautifully done, with robin egg blue furniture and soft birchwood throughout the space. Halifax is also connected to the lovely W Hotel. The Bubbles Brunch for $32 pp meant the bubbly kept flowing and food was plentiful! We couldn't finish all the small plates set in front of us. Challah French Toast with maple whipped cream & sliced almonds was my favorite, perfectly crisp with a soft eggy innard. It begged to be doused in the light whipped cream. Gravlax on rye toast and the Deviled Eggs with paprika were classic dishes and also delicious. They offered lighter fare like the Mixed Fruits Salad and a Summer Farro Salad with tangerine slices. Nice and refreshing between bites of more savory dishes, which is ultimately what I kept going back for! Mac & Cheese with orecchiette pasta was so creamy and luscious. Beef Sliders were juicy and flavorful. The brunch was a great mix of savory and sweet, with something to please every palate. Halifax's waterfront locale is also great for an after-meal photo op. Hoboken doesn't offer as good a view as Weehawken slightly north, but still nice. It's also a great middle point for those that live in NYC and NJ to do brunch together right! read more

The waitress told us as we were sitting down they needed the table back in 2 hours... then told us three more times they needed the table back in 2 hours or her manager would try to kick us out. This was within the first 20 minutes of being seated, not like we were carrying on hours later. The food was average and not worth the prices. During brunch time you can only order from the brunch menu, not the breakfast one so don't expect to be able to order eggs, pancakes etc. They also gave one menu to the table (which was paper - why not print more) and when asked for more menus they said they didn't have them. read more

Interesting brunch spot. Great deal for bottomless food and drinks. They essentially bring out one of each plate for the table (with 8-10 courses total). You can tell they save the nicer/more expensive items like burgers and wings for the end once you're filled up on the cheaper items (fruit, yogurt). The combination of plates served is a bit all over the place - fruit and yogurt to wings and meatballs. The wait staff is very strict and will kick you out when time is up (wasn't the friendliest about it). With that said, they do a great job refilling drinks and food. read more

Great Sunday brunch deal with unlimited tapas for $25 per person and $10 for kids. Add $10 per person for campaign/mimosa. Staff was extra attentive with a great waterfront view. Great find for a family of 4 here for vacation on the East Coast. Corned beef and egg, Seafood Paella and Mushroom Mac and Cheese are must tries. read more

I've been coming to this place for their bottomless brunch for so many important events- birthdays, graduation parties, valentine's days and each time it doesn't disappoint! It is definitely the most bang for your buck because of the unlimited drinks AND small plates! There is so much variety of food and enough options for vegetarians and meat-eaters. Plates are also customizable for allergies. The interior is absolutely beautiful and transports you to a palace with a floor to ceiling windows of a view of the NYC skyline! Couldn't get better than this. The challah french toast is to die for and they definitely provide more than 1 bottle of champagne pp! My glass was NEVER empty! This is super fun for special occasions and will leave you wanting to come back. Making reservations were also super simple read more

Absolutely LOVE this place ! Finally had the chance to go and it was amazing. Bottomless mimosas and multiple rounds of all their brunch items for a flat price of $50 ... I will definitely be back read more
