Ordered a great cocktail (Summer Air) from a bartender recommendation, and got the Gnocchi (with butternut bisque, kale, grilled zucchini, walnut honey, tallegio, and sage oil) as my entree dish.

But if I go with somebody else we split a dessert which is just divine... A very tasty change of pace they do in or take out it can get busy at times and crowded but that's only because it's so delicious... I haven't tried any of the other flavours they have a few of the sweet and savory to choose from...so I can't speak to them but you're safe with the mushroom garlic one and the chocolate strawberry dessert one... Always a pleasure to go always a sneaky treat to go.. they do have gluten-free options

It's better than the Keg- yes I said it! The cut is great/ portion great/ price great - I just wish it was more consistent as sometimes it comes(during delivery order), with spice and sometimes it don't but I love the spice lol And the fettuccine Alfredo is amazing dine in or not! I order it just as is with the peppers and it's great! Plus a side Caesar salad and garlic bread you can't go wrong with the price! Btw their fish is also excellent!! Only problem is they sometimes when I order the coconut cream pie- which I adore- it can come very hard top or not- sometimes it seems days prepared or day off- keep an eye on that staff please where people are paying! But we still love ya!

We've had a trip planned to golf Cabot for the last few years. The texts and emails were flying delays, cancelled trips and in general , I never thought it would happen. Surprisingly, Halifax was a quick little flight from Toronto and am I ever glad we did it. First off, we talked about getting lobster on the side of the road at shacks etc, blah blah blah but as soon as we landed we headed to meet a friend who said we must try this lobster croissant sandwich at The Drift. OMG OMG OMG ! Could be one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted but you know what was even better, the Chablis, no, the lobster pasta, no... It was the lobster fritters. They were insane ! The fritters are a bit like a conch if you've ever had that in the BVIs but they are battered so perfectly with a zesty hint of like that is so perfect, it's too hard to describe. Over the top crispy timbit deliciousness with lobster. The drift is a MAJOR win, it's along the water in Halifaxs best hotel the Muir and it's just perfect. Our trip was filled with Oysters and I have to say, each place had slightly different variations but I will NEVER say I had a better Oyster than in Halifax. If you hear me say it, just call me out because we had at least 4 Oysters each at around 6 places and they were all better than anywhere I've ever eaten in the world, almost to the point where I didn't need the sides (almost). I am so glad I visited Halifax, oh and by the way, the golf at Cabot was insane ! INSANE ! Was it better than Cabot St Lucia ? Nope, but I give Cabot St Lucia a 9.8 and I give Cabot Cape Breton a 9.6. STOP right there ! I had the crab shack , I had the crab shack and oh my gosh was it good. Just outside Cabot is the best little shack with the freshest little sandwiches on fluffy buns. Check it out right here- get the mainlander sandwich and the crab bretoner. The mainlander is warm lobster spiced up on the bun, heaven ! And the crab bretoner is chilled crab, mix up perfectly with aioli, green on and a few other things. If you're near Inverness you better stop there. Ok ok ok , I'm writing all of this as I go but on the Sunday we end up at the 5 fishermen. Order the lobster, the carbonara lobster , the chowder and Oysters at every single place you go in Halifax and thank me later. I wasn't expecting to love the food this much, wow ! If you're there on a Sunday, hit Durty Nellys. In my Opinion it's the best pub in the world- yep ! See ya next week :)

They have a really nice selection of wines by the glass and by the bottle along with a selection of cocktails. They did have a dessert menu which we opted out of.
