“ The food here is insanely good! Each dish comes with so much creativity and such brand new flavours. It's crazy to think how far Halifax has come in a short few years! ”

“ Had a late dinner at Kismet, the service and atmosphere were great. We’ve tried a few cocktails who were all amazing. Appeachiation Post would be my top recommendation. The food was also very good, top dishes were the Perch with the potato and salsa verde and the Pappardelle Ragu. The waiter was very good and super helpful. If I had to redo, I would not take the radicchio or the carrot & crab dish. Didn’t have the wow factor. ”

“ Went for Valentine’s Day, and their current menu was so good! The atmosphere is low-lit, and and relaxing. The perfect place for a nice night out. My partner and I ordered many dishes between the two of us, and were able to share. They offer sharing plates, so it’s definitely worth it to try what speaks to you. ”

“ Bar Kismet is a beautiful hidden gem. This place knows how to highlight fresh seafoods in their raw tapas without overpowering their delicate natural flavors, and their house cocktails all have a maritime flavor profile that pairs well with seafood regardless of your choice. The atmosphere is charming as they repurposed the old architecture really well, and it is a perfect date night spot. We will definitely come back to this place in the future! ”

“ My boyfriend and I visited Halifax for vacation from Boston and heard that this was the spot to have delicious food and cocktails. Correct! The manager was so friendly and warm, and Dylan the bartender made some of the most incredible cocktails we’ve ever had. His hospitality and ingenuity really made the experience. We actually came back a second time to try every cocktail on the menu! Our favorites were the cured trout, egg yolk raviolo, carrots and crab, and tonnato (insane). For cocktails, I loved the Dartmouth influencer & field goal. Looking forward to coming back in the future ”

“ Honestly, everything that we ate was all around delicious. From the apps to the main to the dessert and the drinks were very unique. Definitely understand why they made it on the top 100. ”

“ Lovely meal tonight. The cocktails were delicious. We have come a few times over the years. The format is shareable small plates which we enjoy to taste various dishes and it makes for a lighter meal. The pasta with duck was delicious. Scallops and tuna tartare fresh and amazing. Beet and endive dish is also very good. The tuna and beet dishes are favorites that we get every time. Great service. We were there with our 12 year old son and they accommodated him and made him plain fresh pasta with parmesan. ”

“ I recently dined at this seafood restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The seafood was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, with each dish showcasing a perfect balance of flavors. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent service throughout the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a top-notch seafood dining experience ”
