Went here twice in my stay, first time had the best service staff and the second was not to friendly so hit or miss is seems. Food was fantastic! Loved the fish and chips, OMG that tartar sauce! Husband loved the lobster poutine and the selection of fresh oysters. Has the best music! Prefer to sit outside where it's a bit cooler. Inside was muggy.

Very busy, even Monday at 2pm. There was a line to be seated, but it went fast. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food was delicious and the service was great. I saw a lot of familes, so it's a good place to bring kids. The bar looked pretty, but I didn't have a drink. I would definitely come back.

Our family of three recently enjoyed a brunch at Waterfront Warehouse, and it was nothing short of amazing. The sea setting ambiance was stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. The servers were pleasant and attentive, making us feel right at home. We started with the bacon-wrapped scallops, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The fish and chips were crispy and fresh, just as you'd hope for in a seaside restaurant. The roasted vegetable pavé was a delightful surprise, offering a delicious and satisfying vegetarian option. The drinks were served at just the right temperature, refreshing us on a warm day. A special shout-out to our server, Martina, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. It’s reasonably priced, not too high and not cheap either. But really value for your single penny. Overall, Waterfront Warehouse offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, great service, and an unbeatable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! Just a small feedback that this restaurant needs air conditioning especially when it’s jam packed with its awesome food and service.

Patio area is very nice for a sunny day dining in. Food was pleasing to the eye and tasted great, especially oysters. The server was sweet but could be more attentive. I requested to have a small bowl and 2 spoons to share the seafood chowder. It seemed like she forgot as she was taking care of 2 other tables nearby at the same time. It was completely understandable since it could get busy during dinner time but I did wait for a while and had to ask for it again, finally got the spoons but no bowl. Overall, still a good experience eating here.

Excellent food and drinks. The lobster roll was delicious and they had a huge selections of oysters to choose from. I have also tried the fish and chips and it was also very tasty. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try some fresh local flavors. Definitely a place to return.

The waterfront warehouse is a fantastic seafood restaurant. We were there during a rainy day so we sat inside and got to see all of the cool artifacts. The lobster poutine was a bit greedy on the lobster and on the sauce, but they did split it into two bowls as per our request. Despite the lack of lobster it was still delicious. The seared scallops was a fantastic dish in terms of the scallops (don’t expect more than 5-6). The vegetables were a bit of a miss - it seems they were all cooked together because the Brussels sprouts were undercooked while the carrots and cauliflower were overcooked. No complaints in terms of flavour.

As you might guess from the name, this restaurant is located on the waterfront, in a huge warehouse. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, service good (although when I was there the place was nearly empty), and the food was tasty. The main reason I went here was to try freshly shucked scallops on the shell (raw). I’ve enjoyed raw scallops before as sashimi and sushi, but not quite like this. Unfortunately, they were disappointing - firm rather than soft and silky, and relatively tasteless. Nonetheless, I was not disappointed by the oysters or the lobster, both of which were great. The potato salad that came with the lobster was bland, but the coleslaw was good. Overall this was a good experience, and I’d go back, but there are other places to try in Halifax first.

Had a bad oyster. Very close to spewing on my dinner partners. When I informed the server and the manager I was offered another oyster! I wasn t finishing what I had let alone attempting another. I wasn t very shocked when we received the bill and absolutely nothing was comped. Very disappointed

Majority seafood menu with fewer options for mains. Ended up just ordering drinks. They took a long time. There was an attempt at a mojito garnished with brown wilted mint and a red wine with a sticky stemmed glass.

Nice location, atmosphere, server. Chowder was watery and bland, seafood in the chowder was ok except for what was likely tiny frozen shrimp from a box. Salmon Cobb salad was bland, tasted mostly the dressing and fake bacon bits. The salmon was not fresh, likely prepared well in advance and cold (by design). Having fresh grilled salmon over top of greens is not very difficult, we have enjoyed this at many restaurants. Based on the dishes being delivered to the various tables we could see and our meals, my wife and I feel that the kitchen is lazy and not really providing an authentic experience.

Great place. Nice atmosphere. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar. Many Halifax residents come here, which only emphasizes the good image of the establishment. The staff is great. Special thanks to Bailee for your patience and help in choosing dishes. The menu is quite varied. But the lobster is an absolute favorite. Good selection of local beers. Great desserts. I recommend visiting.

Had a pleasant time here but unfortunately the food was very bland. I had the Haddock Oscar and my dad had the salmon plank. Both were a bit dry and were served with the same sides of somewhat bland steamed vegetables. Additionally, the menu doesnt tell you what sides each item comes with, so we had to ask the server. The server herself was incredibly kind, and the atmosphere of the space was kitsch and cozy.

Went there for the Lobster Tail and it was good. Not great but good. We also had the Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and Chefs Dozen Oysters... Both fantastic! Downside keeping it from being a 5 star review? Kettle chips. Really? Kettle chips? Ask for something other than the kettle chips and youll have a fantastic meal...

We wanted a nice summer patio drink and food experience. We had gift cards and went twice to use them up .needless to say wont be back as a full paying customer. We were very disappointed. Food was tasteless and dry. Both times we went .even desert was dey and tasteless. .The birds and their droppings I understand is a common thing in the area hard to avoid but the host saw our table had some droppings and took a wet paper towel to spot wipe. No disinfectant used to wipe the table it was very gross..

September 22, 2024

Food was good overall. Service was a bit off mainly because we ordered oysters from different areas in Nova Scotia and the server who dropped them off couldn t bother giving an explanation which one was from where. It s a nice spot on the waterfront, just too bad service doesn t make you feel like coming back.

We wanted to like food, however the fish thin, greasy and brown in color. We tried the chowder , it was too thick and lacked flavor. Maybe they just had a bad day. Our server was very friendly, and the location was great.

Not overly happy, as there were 18 of us and we had booked for outside, but because there were so many of us, they actually kept us inside, which was not what we wanted, and we were never told. Once we got there, it was too late to find another restaurant elsewhere ! Service was slow, and the food was just average. After receiving a bill, we waited 15 minutes before actually getting up to walk out, before someone came with a credit card machine. It hovered on the ridiculous! Perhaps if we had been outside on the waterfront, watching people, everything that seemed so much better.

The scallops were the worst I have eaten. They were way overcooked and barely browned on one side or sometimes barely on both side like they were cooked with a lid on. I dont recommend the Seared Scalops. The oyster was good but the accompaniment was ordinary. The service was long.

August 22, 2024

So disappointed. Food and drink were really slow, with no drinks for 40 min! We had two tables with one finished food before the second table was even served. Server apologized when they finally arrived but no mention of a back up at the bar when we were seated and ordered. Caesar was really spicy without much tomato taste.

August 22, 2024

One of the waitresses literally threw water from the dogs bowl on us while we were on the bench in front, reading the restaurant menu. A quick pardon then she fled, leaving us with our completely wet clothes. You lost 2 customers and certainly the witnesses to this scene.

We have tried many places here in Halifax and have rarely been disappointed but wow this was bad. We went in to escape the rain, get a pint, and a couple appetizers. The beer was warm, the appetizers were sub par at the very best. We ordered fries, they were 2/5. We ordered the calamari they were 3/10. Lastly, we had the artichoke crab dip and the chips described on the menu were house made kettle chips. We were served stale tortilla chips. We informed our server and he was great and attentive. He gave us a new plate, unfortunately they were also very stale. In the end he brought us kettle chips and apologized. However, I was disappointed to see we still had to pay for that appetizer. Anyways, to sum it up, save your time and money. Go to literally anywhere else on the boardwalk.

This is the very first time my wife and I have ever ventured into Halifax for a visit and our experience has been absolutely phenomenal.... until our attempt to enter this restaurant for dinner. Being the organized planner my wife is, she attempted to book us in for a reservation only to be informed flat out, they werent taking any reservations for the long weekend. So our understanding was it would be on first come first serve basis. Fast forward to today, the 4th of August 2024 we were told in unkind words, take a hike as we attempted to enter the restaurant. Okay then, I guess this restaurant didnt want our business. Judging by the reviews, it seems we didnt miss much, which is a shame because this restaurant came highly recommended. I guess we should thank the hostess for telling us to get lost. Thank you!!!

The shrimp and the oysters Rockefeller was good. The service was not. Although everyone was very friendly. The scallops unfortunately way over cooked the potatoes that came with it were rubbery.

Always an incredible time coming here, I come almost weekly due to work and it never disappoints. The star of the show is certainly Ryan, if you can get to his section you are in for a real treat. Never arrogant or cocky and true expert in his field, youd swear the guy was half oyster as he has the experience and expertise while not making you feeling stupid when he talks about it. Makes you feel like family, and always takes responsibility.

We had intended to sit on Waterfront Warehouse s patio when we went, but it was too cold, so we sat inside. And it was such a neat space. Lots of nautical decor - warm and inviting. My husband wanted something light, so he had the summer salad (which was a huge bowl of beautiful veggies with a delicate apricot dressing) and an appetizer portion of rare tuna that was so good he was swooning over it. I don t like seafood, so I ordered the beef short ribs, which came with a large side of several types of roasted veggies. SOOOO GOOOD! The beef was so tender that I could cut it with my fork, and the gravy was delicious on the tender vegetables. The second night we went, I had the beef steak salad, which was a flavorful skirt steak on a bed of quinoa and radicchio and onions. My husband had the same summer salad and an appetizer portion of bacon-wrapped scallops. We were both very happy though my favorite is still that beef short rib - YUM! Oh, and hubby then also had the coconut cheesecake, which I tasted - and it was very yummy too. Service was great - Olivia was our server the first night and she was wonderful (can t recall the name of the server the second night but she was lovely too).

First stop in Halifax for food as it had relatively good ratings. Excited to start my fish and chips journey but was a little disappointed. The batter is crispy but the fish was overcooked. It was falling apart and flaky with not much tenderness, closer to dryer side. Fries were also inconsistent, my fries were a lighter golden brown but other people on the table got a deeper brown closer to charred which was odd. It was not bad but could ve been better. Sorry :(

★★
July 22, 2024

Pretty run of the mill place. Servers were nice but food is sub par. We had the fried chicken and fries, tuna tacos and scallop ceviche. The chicken was definitely premade and thrown in the fryer, tuna tacos had no flavour and were just filled with iceberg lettuce, and for the ceviche there was nothing worth even mentioning. I wouldn t eat here again, nice patio for drinks (ideally beer as they can t make cocktails either)

Today we went to Waterfront Warehouse for the first time. It was probably 80% full and got a table right away. After 15 minutes nobody showed up. I asked the receptionist for help and she would send our server, 10 minutes later, nobody showed up (its been 25 minutes with no service). I asked another waitress for service and she kindly found out who is serving our table which came after 35 minutes since we arrive. We place the order and took about 15 minutes to get a drink (45 minutes for the first drink). I know it was a busy time but it is a ridiculous and bad experience. I will never come back there. Think about it.

If you visit Halifax, you cant miss out on trying their fresh lobster. I highly recommend experiencing their whole fresh lobster, renowned for its incredible freshness and flavor.

Nice place. Food is good for what it is (pub type food). Nice/friendly servers cool atmosphere. The outdoor patio looks Iike it would be nice in the summer.

A friend and I stopped in for dinner on Saturday evening. We order the crab& artichoke dip to share for an appetizer but it was more of a tiny cheese dip with no crab in it! We didnt think much of it, just a bad choice. For our main meals we both ordered the lobster poutine, the sauce was bland and the lobster was the most obviously frozen and unappealing. It was skinny slivers of curled up meat? Being from a port city youd think we be having fresh seafood.. disappointing for the $40 price tag we both left with.

Arguably some of the best lobster we had in Halifax. They had their lobster feast promotion ongoing which gave a whole lobster for a very affordable price - it was perfectly cooked, the accompanying dishes complimented it well, and the lobster was very filling Will also say that the oysters and the seafood chowder were delicious and a wonderful pairing. Would love to return

Three orders of the seafood chowder were unanimously rated best chowder EVER, and 2 trays of chefs sampler oysters were also big hits! The only reason for not giving 5 stars was that the place was a bit busy at lunch, and they only had one poor soul serving all the tables!

This resteraunt would be better if The Bicycle Thief wasnt right next door, which is a highly better option for around the same price point, that being said, just go there instead. This place overcharges for lobster at a steep price of $65 for a pound lobster, when at the souwester at peggys cove you can get the same thing but much fresher for $25. The staff was nice, and the restaurant looks nice inside, however, the lobster was not fresh, the lobster roll smelt fishy and tasted badly, and the fish and chips was mostly batter. Id say dont go here, save your money and visit somewhere else.

For 3 people it was 165$ for dinner not including the tip after. Had the lobster 3 course meal for 50$. Appetizer was goat cheese with salad, then lobster (DO NOT take the regular sides of coleslaw and potatoes salad, they were garbage quality). Then dessert was apple crumble with ice cream and that was lovely! My mum had the lamb and loved it. Though my husband had the chicken and chorizo parpadelle pasta and was rather disappointed. Not enough chicken or chorizo and was overpriced for just pasta. He didnt finish it The brisket taco appetizer was good size but should be 12$ not 16$.. The strawberries on the desserts were not ripe though. Disappointing.

Absolutely disgusting. We ordered this via skip to our hotel. I ordered the lobster roll and as soon as I opened the box all you could smell was rotten fish. Lobster should smell like lobster. Im from here but am visiting from alberta and I can say Ive had fresher seafood in a landlocked province. I tried afew bites thinking it was just me but my breath was absolutely rotten and reeked of old fish. The chowder I ordered wasnt bad but hardly had any seafood..mostly potatoes and carrots. More haddock than any other seafood in it probably because its the cheapest out of them all... how this got 4 stars is beyond me.

The stand out menu item at Waterfront Warehouse is the molasses brown bread with whipped maple butter... yummy!!! I wish I had ordered two. I had the fish and chips. It was very tasty but pretty basic fish and chips. I was surprised they didnt have homemade tartar sauce but the tartar they had was okay. I tried their Sunset on the Pier (cocktail). I love a good mixed drink but found this drink left a lot to be desired. After only one sip, I told the waitress I didnt like it. She took the drink back and took it off my bill which I really appreciated!! Overall, a good meal.

This a casual place in the middle of the tourist area but it was fantastic! It has loads of room, normal prices and fantastic seafood! Our table had oysters, lobster and lobster rolls. Everything was really delish!

February 22, 2024

Extremely disappointing experience. Food was cold, no taste and inedible. Waitress apologized several times, and I think she knew how bad it was. Atmosphere: A large restaurant with only 23 people dining on a Saturday night, restaurant could seat about 100 patrons. Clearly they have a significant issue with kitchen prep and quality of food. In todays struggling economy, the restaurant needs to take a hard look at itself and make more of an effort NOT to put out such bad food.

So Jo wait to get in, extremely expensive, expected of seafood, but a little too much. Service was mediocre, could have been much better. Waitress didn t check on us much, failed to bring out sides we asked for. Very clean restaurant, menu didn t have many options. Great atmosphere, kid friendly, indoor and outdoor seating. Wasn t the worst, but I don t think I would recommend. It was close and quick enough for our cruise ship.

Made a reservation, we were sat In a booth beside an unused bar and storage. We were the only people in the entire resteraunt. Service was decent, food was decent for cost. The building however is over run by rodents. Also it was a bummer having no bartender on a Friday night. Not the spot in the off season. Management needs to do better.

Oozing charm and class at the same time. This restaurant has professional and friendly staff that all work together as a team. We never felt ignored and really enjoyed the vast space which must have been a warehouse in the past. The location is perfect as it leads to the boardwalk by the Harbour and has a convenient pay parking lot right next door. The open kitchen at the one end is as entertaining as it is reassuring that it is clean. The Haddock is absolutely MASSIVE ! The batter is nice and light. I appreciated that the have malt vinegar for the fries and fish. The raw oysters were perfectly prepared and the presentation was excellent It is the type of place that you can come as you are; dressed up or casual and just fit right in. A great place to get your seafood fix. Parking: The paid parking lot is right next door which is a blessing because there is almost no street parking around the areas.

We went here with some friends who were visiting us from another province. The food was good and I think everyone was satisfied with what they got. Our service however was extremely slow and we thought that we were so forgotten about that we almost went inside to ask for someone to take our order. It was only 3pm at the time we ordered and the restaurant was not busy at all. I m sad that the slowness of our service degraded our experience.

The service was fine- I had a lobster roll, which was pretty basic for how much it costs ($33). It was some lobster stuffed in a hotdog bun, and the kettle chips were soggy. The restaurant also needs updating.

December 22, 2023

First of all, I never leave reviews anywhere. I m a very reasonable and understanding person, but I ll make an exception for this one. Food was alright. Me and my friend used a gift card, so our bills were both smaller when we got them. My friend unknowingly only tipped on the amount remaining on her bill after the gift card was used. She didn t mean to tip such a small amount, she had just forgot we used the gift card because it didn t show on the bill total. The waitress made a comment that she had only tipped on the balance remaining after the gift card was used. Who says that? After that comment I should ve tipped her nothing at all. Rude

In Nova Scotia for a visit with the family and hubs and I went out for a date night. We were ready to Get our fill of seafood. I remembered their molasses bread from last time we where here, which is incredibly delicious. The oysters and fresh scallops were fine but we were incredibly turned off by the lobster ravioli. DO NOT Order. The sauce is too heavy, the bacon (and I love bacon) overpowers everything and some of the ravioli were okay but most were barely filled with one ravioli being completely empty. For $32 it was a huge rip off. If you had told me that was a frozen dinner heated up in a microwave I would have believed you. The only thing good on it was the asparagus. You would expect a manager to at least apologize for the rip off. Our server was very efficient - did check after the first bite, which was fine but it got progressively disgusting and I regret having finished it If youre looking to enjoy a seafood night - There are so many better places on the waterfront to eat.

Spacious restopub along the harbour front boardwalk. Food a little bit pricy for what its worth, but everywhere is expensive now. Had the fish (haddock) & chips; fish was overdone and the batter consequently too dark. Friends scallops were also on the too-well done side. Other friend had the lobster roll, which was the best of everything we tried and seems to be their signature dish. Service was slightly slow, but friendly.

There was a mouse running around in the dinning room during our entire meal. Staff didn t do anything about it and were not at all apologetic. Two out of the twelve oysters we ordered had no oysters. We showed the server and all she said was oh okay and did nothing to rectify it. Not going back.

December 22, 2023

Came to eat from our last stop on our cruise and heard good things and were very excited for good quality seafood and got the exact opposite. First off our waitress took 10 minutes to even get us waters and then didnt come back to get our order we had to almost yell to get her attention. They also sat us directly in the sun and we were baking and asked to moves tables as there were several free and the manager very rudely with attitude told us no that we can sit or leave. Once we finally ordered we sat and waited and then a different server brought us food that wasnt even ours but the table near us, so she gave it to them and then took off but they couldnt even eat there food because they didnt give them silverware. When we finally got out food it wasnt good at all, the bacon wrapped scallops were bland scallop with bacon no seasoning at all, the popcorn scallop poppers tasted like oil and lemon, the lobster roll tasted like shredded lobster that sat in water coverd in mayonnaise on a piece of bread, the ceaser salad was out of a jar not even house made, the only thing that had half of any good flavor was the lobster poutine and even then it still wasnt that good at all. In all honesty even if the food was better I would never go back strictly due to the horrendous and absurdly rude manager and waitress that was nill existant. Was an all around horrible experience and not good food and not worth the 120 dollars it cost. We did NOT leave a tip.
