Reviews for The Five Fishermen in Halifax, NS
Having a kids menu came as a surprise for such a nice place. Staff were friendly and attentive without being invasive. I know... most ppl loved the lobster which was decent but my personal fave was the crab cakes. Mussels were interesting in flavour aswell with ginger and green onions to have Asian flavouring.

We didn’t make an appointment but we were allowed to dine at the bar. The food was excellent! Highly recommend the duck... breast. The cocktails were amazing—the pandora one was truly delicious. And a whole aesthetic experience too! As well, thebartenders were SO personable and friendly. They were a pleasure to talk to—we had some wonderful conversations throughout thenight! Made the whole experience feel like a dinner party—super fun. They were also professional and respectful and made surethat our needs were met. Highly recommend. Read more
What a treat! Everything on the menu was so thoughtful. Upscale vibes without being pretentious. Thoughtful menu with lots of... local fresh catches available for seafood lovers. The tarragon pesto-crusted halibut was incredible! Great prices and portions.Local wines and beer on the menu was a huge plus. Would love to dine here again! Read more
The place is surprisingly big and spacious. The interrior design is tasteful and elegant, but not too fancy (in my opinion). The... overall atmosphere was quiet although the place was quite busy at the time. The menu is clear and simple, though the food itselfis very rich and interesting (also very tasty). The service was attentive, nice and professional. The variety of wines and otherbeverages is nice. We got our orders fairly quick, and the overall experience was very good. The prices seem a bit on the higherside but reasonable. We definitely got our money's worth. Will return there in the future. Read more
The Five Fishermen stands out from other seafood restaurants in the area with the gorgeous interior decor, and amazing customer... service. The entrance of the restaurant is on the first floor, which has a bar vibe (which seems to be closed). When you headup the stairs you are welcomed by classy nautical decor, ample seating options (including a chef's table besides the openkitchen) and friendly staff. Our waitress was very attentive and catered to the table's preferences in wine, hunger levels anddesire to try as much of the menu as possible. The food was amazing, with everything prepared perfectly and great portion sizesto share. The oysters, mussels and tuna tartare were huge hits. Definitely recommend! Read more
I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The customer service is beyond anything I've seen anywhere. We made a reservation... on OpenTable and placed a note that we were celebrating a couple of things; we didn't expect our note to be read at all. Notonly did our waitress Laura acknowledge our celebrations, she completely made our day with complimentary drinks, food anddessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! The seafood was fresh and clean, the linguine was made in-house and not drenchedin cream, and the chocolate cake tasted like heaven. I would recommend this place to anyone! Read more
My friend and I had a wonderful dinner! We enjoyed all the food. The tuna tar tar to start, and my friend got the lobster... risotto which she liked but said she found slightly underseasoned. I got halibut which was delicious! and the dessert wasamazing, chocolate cake, a pear tart and lemon pavlova. Our server was outstanding! We were celebrating our birthdays and shebrought us complimentary glasses of champagne, a small boutique of roses each, and a dessert platter to share with candles!! Wewere blown away! Highly recommended and we will definitely be back! Read more
