Halifax/Dartmouth Dining
It is Mrs Liftmans birthday next Sunday, and we will be in Nova Scotia for the big day.
Can anyone suggest a decent, but not ridiculous, restaurant for us to eat at?
I would normally take her to KFC or McDonalds, but this year she said she wanted to use real cutlery.

We were in Halifax a few weeks ago and can recommend the 44 North restaraunt in the Casino Nova Scotia Hotel. It has huge windows that overlook the harbour and the food/service is excellent. Very good cutlery too!!

Hi Richard
Salty's down on the harbourfront is really nice. Gorgeous seafood and not TOO expensive. My dh went to a steak restaurant with some work colleagues this week and he can highly recommend that one too. It's on Quinpool Road but I can't remember the name of it. I'll ask him if you are interested.
Hope to see you at Jo's BBQ!

Re: Halifax/Dartmouth Dining
didnt try the draft at mic mac beverage room, i must admit though i have got into Keiths India Pale Ale.. always liked Labatts and Molson..
Big leagues in cole harbor is also good for wings on a thursday.. went there before i flew back last week.. didnt have wings as i dont care for them that much, but the friends i went with had some and they are good, i am also informed the hot chicken caeser salad is good there as well...
Peddlers pub/inn at the corner of Akerley and Windmill i also enjoyed eating there... I think its called Finbars at sunnyside mall in Bedford is also a nice place to eat, but i also do like east side marios, and managed to visit the one downtown, and the one at mic mac mall, i have preiously been to the one at bayers lake as well...
