    First I would like to say the food was delicious but I have a couple of comments. First when I ordered a Stella Artois I would have thought it came in a Stella Artois glass as shown in the picture in which several places I have ordered one come in a proper glass not just a plain glass. Second we ordered a appetizer such as the Spinach & Artichoke Sip I had to ask for a couple smaller plates so we didn’t have to reach to the middle of the table to try to eat it without having it fall onto the table. Third is I ordered ribs and had no extra napkins or wet ones were provided to wipe my fingers in between which I know there is a cloth napkins available but that can get dirty eating ribs.

    Chose Drift initially because of the ambiance through open table and was pleasantly surprised by the service and food. Listed our anniversary as the reason for the reservation and the kitchen ended up giving us two small tastings of oysters and pork belly to try for the first time. Our waiter had good recommendations for food and drinks to have based off of our tastes and was extremely kind and professional our entire stay. absolutely will be returning to this place 10/10

    Food was superior, with the exception of the desert which lacked luster and was the only option (the chocolate cake was exceptionally disappointing). Had oysters, carrot dish mushroom dish, bone marrow and the prawns... all these plates were exceptional, I will be back. On arrival, sitting back to the upstairs picture window in the booth was cold, however heat was turned on halfway through our visit which helped(unprompted from our table). My partner had to wear her jacket the whole time sitting opposite me. Drinks were fantastic, especially with the additional buffalo Trace bone shot from the marrow bone!

    First time dining at the Five Fishermen in Halifax. We are visiting from Saskatchewan and had always wanted to spend an evening there. Our experience exceeded our expectations. The ambience was amazing. Kristen - our waitress - was wonderful. We had 2 Celiacs (must eat gluten free) at our table and she really went above and beyond to guide us through the menu and ensure that our meals were prepared safely. Most items were gluten free. We shared 2 appetizers between the 4 of us. For our main meals - and because they were out of fresh lobsters - she had the chef create a lovely gluten free lobster and scallop risotto for two of us - which wasn't on the menu...but was fantastic. The men had steak and a burger. I had a glass of wine and the men had 2 draft beer each. For $249.99 plus tip, that was a great experience and more than worth the cost. If I could rate this place 10 stars I would. Highly, highly recommend. Will return the next time I'm in town. Cheers from Saskatchewan!!
