Pretty good. I had 2 apps, the scallop ceviche which was nice. A touch sweet for my liking, but…read moreenjoyed it. Also had an oversized caesar salad, which was also pretty flavorful. Service quick too.

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.

Katch recently opened up in the Scotia Square food court (well, within the last few years, lol)…read more They share the space with Pizza Girls. I got the 2 taco combo with fries for $10. I got the pan seared fish in a soft shell taco. I added lettuce, pico de gallo and pineapples, and for the sauce I got the spicy avocado ranch. Everything was really tasty especially considering it was food court food. The fish was flakey and wasn't too oily/greasy. The fries were hot and crispy, and I loved that they were shoestring fries. Katch is a chain but definitely better than any chain in Ontario selling fish tacos, that's for sure! I hope they expand outside of Atlantic Canada :)

The food court at Scotia Square, re-branded as the "The Mix," has really expanded since my last…read morevisit 3 years ago. It's bigger and brighter, with several new vendors. It's very reminiscent of the food courts in complexes connected by The PATH in Toronto (eg the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, TD Place, Commerce Court, etc.). I like that there are several independent vendors, and there are some chains that are specific to Atlantic Canada (which are cool to me because I'm from Ontario). There are of course also big national and international chains, but I didn't travel to Halifax to eat stuff that I can eat in Ottawa, right? However, if you live in Halifax and want an A&W burger or a Iced Capp from Tim Hortons, they have those at The Mix too. So some of their newest offerings are Katch and Pizza Girls (they are together), Tin Pan Alley Gourmet Fries, and Sushi Tonari. The older vendors include A Taste of India, A&W, Booster Juice, Freshii (which is newish), Korea Garden, Mama Gratti's, Mezza Lebanese Kitchen, Starbucks, Subway, Thai Express, and Tim Hortons. There is a lot of seating and the food court is bright, clean, and spacious. I'm a fan.

Today I did something a little extreme and, perhaps, a little unnecessary. I went on a hunt for…read moreScotia Square's best cookie. Baked goods are definitely "my thing" and I was curious to settle upon, for once and for all, which spot has the best cookie! The contenders: Starbucks, Second Cup, and Treats. These are the main places one may venture for a treat, and I didn't bother with Tim Horton's because the lines are always too long. I purchased one cookie from each store, and noted the selection available as well. Sitting down at a table in the mall, I laid all three cookies out in front of me and sampled each with a bite. The results? Starbucks! Best cookie, hands down. I purchased the white chocolate & maccadamian nut, which was soft and chewy just how I like it. Although Starbucks tends to run low on cookies fairly often, so that can be a drag. Second Cup comes in second, with a tasty chocolate chip, and Treats comes in last place because of the overly crisp (bordering burnt) taste. So there you have it folks. If you're looking for the best fix for a Scotia Square cookie, I'd recommend Starbucks.
